Metabolic and Mental Health
Here’s How I Formed an Unlimited Energy Source in Four Steps.
I offer a four-pronged integrative approach to cellular health to naturally boost energy with lifestyle habits.
Purpose of the Article
I introduce a four-pronged approach to increasing cellular energy by using healthy lifestyle habits. Since the topic is comprehensive, it is impossible to explain the reasons for my protocol. However, I linked relevant articles explaining the reasons for interested readers.
Abundant energy is a result of increased cellular health.
By overcoming chronic fatigue, stress, anxiety, and inflammation, I reactivated dormant energy channels and improved my quality of life. Living with abundant energy is a blessing.
Until I learned about the mechanisms of cellular health, I had no clue about energy production and maintenance in the body. I assumed that just eating food would suffice to get the required energy.
Even though food is the energy source for the body, there are numerous factors for energy production and care. I felt empowered when I learned that these factors are controllable via lifestyle habits.
Suffering from energy deficiency in my younger years encouraged me to investigate the matter in detail and make necessary adjustments.
Understanding the role of mitochondria in energy creation was the most valuable information. The secret was to find ways to make our mitochondria more functional and denser.
Mitochondria are the energy source of our cells. These tiny organelles need certain biological activities to live and serve our cells.
Once I found ways to support these organelles, my fatigue disappeared. Instead, I had abundant physical and mental energy contributing to my quality of life.
Living with more energy reduced my stress and anxiety and enhanced my mental clarity, as proven by the disappearance of brain fog.
The methods I used also lowered chronic inflammation. Thus, I’d like to share the key points at a high level so that readers might customize my approaches for their needs.
Since the topic is comprehensive, it is impossible to explain the reasons for my protocol. However, I linked relevant articles explaining the reasons for interested readers.
A Four-Pronged Approach to Increase Cellular Energy
This four-pronged holistic approach to cellular health opened the channels of dormant energy foundation in cells for me. In subsequent sections, I cover the key points under four main headings as part of the model I developed, tested, and validated with years of experience.
1 — Clearing Accumulated Garbage from the Cells
I learned that our cells, mitochondria, and genes dislike toxins, pathogens, and impaired proteins. So I needed to find effective ways to clear them from my cells.
My solution started with fixing the gut, and the liver, as most of the garbage go the cells via these organs. The first action was to have a clean diet, refraining from offensive food.
A customized diet was a good start. By using a specific diet to meet my goals, I eliminated food containing harmful content for cells.
The subsequent action was to use some tools to remove accumulated garbage. The key point was the removal of heavy metals from the gut carefully using activated charcoal.
In addition, I used choline, MSM powder, and a low-dose propriety herbal mixture to flush the liver with help from a qualified naturopath.
In addition, I activated the lymphatic system via thermogenesis (dry saunas, cold showers, ice baths) and joyful exercises like hopping on the trampoline that allowed the removal of toxins from the body and optimized cortisol.
This clean-up process worked as my energy levels noticeably increased, even though during the process, I felt awful. After that, I did not need this process so intensely again and only occasionally used activated charcoal as I consumed fish, including mercury.
2 — Feeding Cells with Premium Power
Cells need food to get energy. Macronutrients like fats, carbohydrates, and proteins provide the required calories.
My initial diet was heavy on carbs. Around 80% of calories were from carbs and 20% from proteins. As I used to live with fatphobia, I did not consume fat-containing foods. This diet was against my nature giving me nightmares.
I made a radical change after intense investigation and consultation with those who achieved metabolic shifts. When I replaced carbs with healthy fats and slightly increased bioavailable proteins, I experienced a remarkable improvement in energy production.
Being on the right track delighted me and encouraged me to continue. My cells were happy with glucose created by gluconeogenesis and alternative energy from ketones.
My happiest organ was the brain having more BDNF with ketosis. The chronic stress, fatigue, and inflammation signs disappeared when the brain got happier. As a result, my mental health has reached another level.
3 — Resting Cells to Rejuvenate
The best gift for my cells to rest was to reduce food intake. As I had already removed carbs and offending food, I partially achieved this goal.
After an intense literature review, I discovered the remarkable benefits of time-restricted eating (fasting) to give cells rest and rejuvenation.
Refraining from food at specific windows was an excellent start. My first practice was skipping a meal. I specifically stopped eating breakfast.
I found innovative ways to replace breakfast to nurture the body and brain. The best solutions were cold showers, personalized workouts (calisthenics and trampoline), morning sun exposure, and regular meditations.
In addition, improving sleep quality, having regular breaks at work, having fun with loved ones, and intentionally working in the flow state contributed to rejuvenating cells. I removed unnecessary stress creators.
Within a few years, my energy levels significantly increased. I was on the right track again. Since my body got fat adapted during this time, I decided to cut another meal. I made a one-meal-a-day plan a lifestyle choice.
This radical shift opened a new window to take my health to the next level. I gained a unique capability to activate my body’s self-healing mechanism, which I will cover in the next section.
4 — Activating the Self-Healing Mechanism for Cells
Phase four of my protocol took my physical and mental health to the next level. The previous approaches empowered my cells to rejuvenate regularly and self-heal.
The fundamental mechanisms were autophagy and mitophagy. I documented the process of autophagy in an article titled Here Is What Happened When I Experimentally Initiated Autophagy Decades Ago.
When I reached this fourth level, oxidative stress and inflammation in the body significantly reduced, and energy production and distribution to organs, especially to the brain, skyrocketed.
Gratefully, my body started using visceral fat as an abundant energy source by putting itself in better shape with lean muscles as a bonus.
The effects were so noticeable that fatigue, stress, and anxiety disappeared. I gained endless energy, which I dreamed about in my younger years but thought would never be possible considering my poor health in those days.
Conclusions
This transformation taught me that lifestyle habits could fix health issues and open dormant energy channels. In hindsight, all I needed was to nurture my cells by giving them what they required and refraining from what they didn’t like.
Defeating chronic fatigue, stress, anxiety, and inflammation with healthy lifestyle habits opened the dormant energy channels and enhanced the quality of life. Consequently, I Feel Younger and Healthier as I Get Older.
I provided a high-level perspective of the transformation with the key points. I’d like to end this piece by providing specific items as takeaways so interested readers might consider them to personalize their needs.
Takeaways
Based on my experience, I offer eleven takeaway points that can be customized based on your needs and goals.
1 — Find ways for cellular cleansing.
2 — Feed the body with optimal nutrition via a personalized diet.
3 — Make the body insulin sensitive and leptin receptive.
4 — Seek help and find ways to optimize hormones and neurotransmitters.
5 — Switch from sugar-burning to a fat-burning metabolism.
6 — Move the body with joyful exercises.
7 — Give the cells a chance to rest/rejuvenate by lowering the eating windows.
8 — Improve sleep quality, have breaks, and work in a flow state.
9 — Refrain from toxins, pathogens, offensive food, and risky drinks.
10 — If you are a smoker, consider quitting permanently.

In addition, I summarized a practical and psychosomatic model (VMCRE ) that busy people can customize to increase physical and mental energy. The article’s title is Five Healthy Lifestyle Steps to Mental Clarity for Busy People.
