How to Heal Your Mitochondria

[@preetsandhu1554]

Fasting, Exercise, Cold shower, Vitamins and minerals These are also most important for healing and creating new mitochondria

[@DrKelliRitter]

I cover nutrition, fasting, thermogenesis and photobiomodulation in my classes - and the nuances :)

How? I can't move. I am clinging to life laid 24 7. I have care once a day. I'm losing my life. Can't feel my body, dying. Can't

[@brachiosaurus6541]

This explanation about electrons and sun was interesting. I've always found that eating low carb/keto was better with taking sunbaths and moving around. The moment I try to eat this way while working just mentaly in front of the computer I can not control my glucose cravings and need to have some carbs. It feels like the body works as a battery being recharged with movement and discharged with sedentary lifestyle. Movement and sun creates and regenerates more movement.

[@DrKelliRitter]

Exactly! We do work like a battery. Thanks so much for sharing your insight.

I read an article talking about a study involving taking methylene blue with niacin can boost NAD or NADH by 5 or 10x. Also the Budwig protocol is great for optimal mitochondria function. The Budwig protocol: The Budwig Protocol is amazing at boosting mitchondria function. It involves mixing electron-rich flaxseed oil with sulfur-rich cottage cheese. This combination allows the flax oil to bind with the sulfur proteins in the cottage cheese, making the fats more water-soluble. This process enhances the absorption of essential omega-3 fatty acids into your cells, providing significant anti-inflammatory and cancer-fighting benefits. It’s a powerful way to boost your health naturally! I found that talking olive leaf extract and mixing curcumin into the flax oil cottage cheese mix really enhances the effects!

Great video! One of the best I have found on mitochondria! Clear and concise! As well, you've got a great energy. 😎👍

[@angelakodicek]

I’m trying to implement all the things you mentioned in addition to fasting. I’m finding I squint a lot less without sunglasses. (The only time I wear sunglasses now is when I’m running a quick errand, think I might run into someone and haven’t put on any make up 🤭😆.) I’ve done two 3-day fasts so far and am listless and weak the entire time. I was told it’s probably because my mitochondria is severely damaged which brought me to viewing this video. I’m going to keep fasting and hope it repairs via autophagy. This video was helpful and I can see you’ve exercised a lot of patience when responding to many of the comments 😄👍🏻

[@DrKelliRitter]

Thanks for the comment! Just remember that fasting is a stressor ~ sometimes we have to do more healing with cellular safety signals before adding stress. Wishing you the best on your journey.

Kelli! After beeing in a narsisistic relationship last year now I cannot tollerate to much hard exercise so Im trying to heal with supplements first now and I ho for walks daily. At least 10.000 steps daily. I took NMN powder yesterday and I slept better this night. My daughter also is taking some supplements cause she is not to fond of meat or animal based.

It has been hard cause I knew he would move on and I knew he would engage with someone else cause I beling to my twinflame, but I dont know when he will be back so I chose to open my heart to someone else and that was unfortunately a narsisist and I did love him so much, but he just used me to get himself somewhere else. Im never ever opening my heart to him again. My heart for him is closed for ever. Thats for sure. Ive ordered more NMN also cause I feel it is helping me with my sleep (ive been struggeling for years with my sleep)

Thank you for your detailed explanation on our energy production at the cellular level. Would red light therapy near and far be a benefit? Thank you Dr. Ritter 💙💜

[@DrKelliRitter]

Yes! Red light is anti-inflammatory and very helpful

[@hubey]

No sunglasses an hour or 2 after sunrise and before sunset, but during the bulk of the day is a good idea in peak summer, especially places where the UV index is higher, like Australia for example. The tilt of the Earth and the varying densities of the ozone layer effect UV levels differently. In Australia you can get blistering sunburn after 30-60 minutes. On the same longitude in Japan in the equivalent summer season, you can be out in the sun all day with no burn. Just a reminder that sometimes advice is location relative. Also there are varying Visible Light Transmission (VLT) percentages. I like to use yellow sunglasses. Still block UVA and UVB rays, but let more light in and brighten perception of shadows. They're advertised to use in cloudy weather, but I like them in full sun too, with a brimmed hat to block direct glare.

When it comes to “earthing” does being in water, washing your hands, bathing, or swimming outside help to contribute to those electrons as well?

TLDR: more foundational information would be very helpful. Ty for sharing, for me it was made difficult to absorb the information because it was scatter-shot. You clearly have a deeper understanding of the power house, but your explaining as if we have been trained at a med school and in practice for years. Meaning that your base level is far above most people, or maybe just I'm not too bright.

I had both Stratagene testing and Viome Full Body Intelligence testing, and both say my mitochondria are a hot mess. This explains the chronic conditions I have. Just found this video and don't see the mitochondria class on your website. Will it be available again anytime soon? In lieu of the class, how helpful would red light / IR light be in helping heal mitochondria. I've read a lot about it and feel like it has at least short term benefits, but I would love to know how useful it is long term... in addition to natural light and good sleep too.

I will teach the class specifically on mitochondria again in the fall. But! Check back here as I will likely post more short videos and interview more Quantum Health experts on the podcast. Yes!! I love red light therapy. A low flicker red light panel (NIR and Red) is well worth the investment in my opinion. Sounds like you’ve done your research.

Thanks so much for your comments. Looks like I missed this when you first posted - my apologies. I do not recommend mitochondrial testing. I will often recommend short-term targeted supplementation depending on the case specifics.

[@sloydphsciences]

You can get electrons from the ground. Walking on a wet beach or damp soil with bare feet is terrific. "Earthing" works but note, the earth generally has a -6mV charge. The mitochondria membranes have a much stronger negative charge (about -160mV). You need to spend a lot of time earthing to really charge your mitochondria.

[@lyndagabriel6539]

You are telling everyone to remove their sunglasses? Correct me if I'm wrong, but you are a PhD "doc", not an MD, yes? You have a PhD (in counselling) and counselling/coaching/nutritional therapy certificates. I have early stage AMD, and wear sunglasses on even cloudy days as per doctors' (physicians, not PhD's) orders. From what I've learned since my diagnosis from my ophthalmologist and other doctors/researchers of eye health: sunlight, specifically UV light, is definitely NOT healthy for everyone. I do however use an eye-specific red light device for a few minutes, a few times a week. This is the research-determined light specifically for the mitochondria... which are the most abundant in the retina.

[@DrKelliRitter]

Hi, Lynda. Thanks for your important questions. First, yes, that’s correct, I have a PhD. I didn’t learn about mitochondria in school and wouldn’t have learned about the importance of light, circadian rhythms & applied quantum biology even if I had gone to med school. QB is a new emerging science. I do not provide medical advice. My clients with AMD find red light therapy most helpful - we go really slowly and start building their solar callus by getting out for sunrise & sunset natural light exposure (and more skin when people have sensitive eyes or eye damage). There is no UV at sunrise and sunset. The sensors on the skin play a role. It’s a light, water, magnetism, food & breath holistic approach to supporting mitochondrial health. As always, trust your own intuition first and most.

We need to be more in touch with our natural environment. Holistic practitioners, including Edgar Cayce, have been advising this for decades.
