  • Did you know that 25-30% of your basal metabolic rate (the amount of calories you burn at rest) is from the ATPase activity of these mitochondria? . If you have sucky mitochondria you will have a slow metabolism. Magnesium is REQUIRED for mitochondria to produce ATP (cellular energy). . 50% of people consume less than the average recommendation of magnesium and some age group consume substantially less. The average recommendation is 300-420 mg/day (our Paleolithic ancestors were theorized to consume around 600mg/day) (DiNicolantonio et al., 2018) . If you are lacking in magnesium, on a cellular level your body will not make energy, your mitochondria are impaired. Amazing how one small nutrient deficiency can impact the entire body in such large ways. 🌟 . #magnesium #mitochondria #themoreyouknow #functionalmedicine #xymogen #magnesiumcure
  • Increased thermal activity over both carotid arteries = systemic inflammatory and/or some degree of vascular occlusion. 🔥 Translation: long term...this person was at risk of ischemic stroke. We are seeing process begin in its infancy. How old is this man? 30 years old. 🔥 He did not have elevated CRP, but what he did have is HIGH HOMOCYSTEINE of 11.7. It should be not more than 4.0 - 7.0. 🔥 Elevated levels of homocysteine is significantly associated with internal carotid artery occlusion and ischemic stroke (Jeong et al., 2010) 🥦 What reduces homocysteine? Mainly Methylated folate. You may also be low in methyl b12, NAC, B6 as well. Upon looking at this mans blood work, he was also low in B6 and B12/B9. 🥦 He also did a series of Lymphatic massages as well, which helps break up congestion in the lymphatic system. 🥦 This goes to show us that this process in the arteries can start as early as 30 years old. #PreventionIsTheCure
