Why Energy Nutrient-Based Nutrition?
Without relying on endless cups of caffeine to stay awake, energy nutrient-based nutrition helps the body naturally support cellular energy, detoxify toxins, support hormone balance, and provide adequate nutrient cofactors for a brain energy boost. The Nutrevo Body energy nutrient-based nutrition plan focuses on a 5-step approach in boosting energy and improving sleep:
Focus 1 – Mitochondria Cellular Function
The powerhouse of every cell is the mitochondria. There are many steps in the mitochondrial metabolic process and the need for multiple nutrients to fuel the process is vital for optimal function. CoQ10, B-vitamins, alpha lipoic acid, and other nutrients found in whole food sources can give the mitochondria a much-needed kickstart boost.
Focus 2 – Detoxification Optimization
Pesticides, herbicides, heavy metals, and other chemical toxins we consume in our food, water, and life contribute to toxic build up in the body. Over time, these chemicals can disrupt hormone signaling and cause major chronic fatigue and sleep disorders. Providing key nutrients found in whole food sources and targeted supplements can assist the liver, kidney, and digestion system to effectively eliminate excess toxins in the body and provide a boost in energy and mental clarity.
Focus 3 – Neurotransmitter Production
The serotonin and dopamine neurotransmitter pathways are key elements in brain chemical energy and sleep support. The serotonin pathway produces the neurohormone of melatonin and the dopamine pathway produces adrenaline. An imbalance or nutrient deficiency in any nutrient cofactor can lead to dysregulation of neurotransmitters and serve as the underlying cause of low energy, no motivation, brain fog, and poor sleep.
Focus 4 – Adrenal Fatigue
Living an on-the-go lifestyle, constant stress, and eating nutrient-poor foods can cause adrenal exhaustion. Our bodies were not designed to be in constant overdrive every day and consistently stimulated. A crash in cortisol adrenal hormone levels can make getting out of bed and functioning each day mentally exhausting.
Focus 5 – Thyroid Boost
Many people are living with diagnosed and undiagnosed thyroid disorders. This common ailment most times leads to weight gain, depression, hair loss, and other unwanted symptoms. The thyroid also controls most metabolic processes in the body. An imbalance or deficiency in any nutrient which is needed for thyroid hormone production or conversion can negatively affect energy and sleep levels.
