Understanding Cell Danger Response

Cell danger response (CDR) can significantly impact overall health despite maintaining a clean diet and exercise routine. When cells are in a state of CDR, they are unable to utilize the nutrients and supplements being provided, much like a house undergoing renovations where workers are on lockdown. Consequently, the body enters a protective mode that hampers energy use and recovery, leading to fatigue and other health issues. Addressing CDR is essential for regaining vitality and unlocking the body's full potential, improving energy levels, workout efficiency, and overall well-being.
