Understanding Cell Danger Response

The cell danger response is a critical concept that explains how stress, toxins, or infections can trigger protective mechanisms within cells. In this state, cells become less effective at absorbing nutrients and hormones from the bloodstream, even if blood work appears normal. This phenomenon can lead to various symptoms such as fatigue, weight gain, and mood swings, which are often dismissed by medical professionals. Recognizing the importance of addressing the underlying cellular issues is essential for achieving optimal health.
