The Root Causes of Disease
There are six primary root causes of disease that individuals should focus on to improve their health: inflammation, metabolic disturbances, mitochondrial dysfunction, hormonal imbalances, toxic exposure, and nutritional deficiencies. Inflammation is often linked to poor dietary choices and a lack of movement, while metabolic disturbances frequently indicate insulin and glucose regulation issues. Mitochondrial dysfunction represents a failure of cells to produce energy efficiently, often exacerbated by lifestyle factors. Addressing these root causes allows individuals to prevent sickness and promote longevity through targeted lifestyle changes.
