Mitochondria Diet: A 3-Week Plan to Managing Mitochondrial Dysfunction Through Nutrition

Mitochondria are often overlooked in the body’s complex cellular structure. They may not get as much attention as the brain or heart, but they are integral to overall health just like any other organ, and your health can be affected by the inner workings of these tiny organelles.

For example, when your cells don’t use energy properly from food because they cannot metabolize glucose (a type of sugar), your mitochondria cellular structures stop functioning efficiently, resulting in insulin resistance as well—both upstream triggers for health problems like cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, Alzheimer’s Disease, Parkinson’s Disease and much more.

Fortunately, there are many steps that you can take to manage these mitochondrial dysfunctions through nutrition. That’s why we have outlined a 3-week meal plan designed with your mitochondria in mind.

First things first, it’s a good idea to understand what mitochondria are and why they are vital for optimal health. Stay tuned for a deep dive into what they do, why you should care about them, and how you can take better care of them through nutrition.
