Dr. Joseph Mercola - Take Control of Your Health

NOTE

Optimize Mitochondria Through Intermittent Fuel Cycling

Optimizing mitochondrial function requires alternating fuel input, as continuous fuel delivery leads to inefficiency. Intermittent fasting, where food intake is restricted to specific periods, supports mitochondrial health by enhancing ketone metabolism, which in turn improves energy production. Healthy mitochondria are essential, but a high percentage of dysfunctional mitochondria can hinder metabolic processes. Gradual implementation of intermittent fasting, coupled with ketone supplementation and intermittent hypoxic training, can significantly enhance mitochondrial performance, improving oxidative phosphorylation and ATP production, leading to more economical oxygen consumption during rest and greater efficiency under stress conditions.
