ARE YOU TIRED and worn out? Do you have sore muscles, fatigue, and brain fog? If so, you might have metabolic burnout!
Imagine if you could find a way to tune up your metabolism, increase your energy levels, think clearly, and feel less achy.
Imagine if you could prevent diabetes, heart disease, Parkinson’s disease, and dementia.
Imagine if you could heal fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome.
Imagine if you could get to the roots of aging, slow the whole process, and eliminate most age-related diseases.
These aren’t just fantasies.
All these things are possible–if you give yourself a metabolic tune-up.
You might have heard of the rats fed high doses of resveratrol, the plant compound found in red wine. But did you know that those rats lived 30 percent longer than their peers — the equivalent of an additional 120 human years — even though they ate a bad diet?
In fact, they even became fitter and lost weight even while eating a poor quality, standard American diet.
How could they eat high amounts of bad food and not exercise, yet still become fitter AND live 30 percent longer than the average rat?
One word: MITOCHONDRIA — the source of your energy.
The resveratrol protected and improved the function of the mitochondria through its effects on special master aging genes.
So what are mitochondria and what do they have to do with having more energy, losing weight, and living to be 120 years old without any disease?
Today you will learn the answer to that question. And I will provide you with eight tips you can start using today to give yourself a metabolic tune-up and boost your energy metabolism.
The key to more energy lies in providing your mitochondria with the right environment to thrive. When you do, you can boost your energy metabolism. (This is actually step number six of the 7 Keys to UltraWellness, and it is absolutely essential if you want to obtain optimal health. Find out more here.)
So let’s look at what mitochondria are and what they do.
What Are Mitochondria?
Mitochondria are the little factories in our cells that take the foods we eat and the oxygen we breathe and convert them into energy. That energy is called adenosine triphosphate, or ATP, and it is used to support every function in our body.
When the mitochondria are damaged, you suffer all the symptoms of low energy–fatigue, memory loss, pain, rapid aging, and more.
Each cell holds hundreds or thousands of mitochondria; they are found in greater amounts in active organs and tissues such as the muscles, heart, and brain. In fact, we have more than 100,000 trillion mitochondria in our bodies, and each one contains 17,000 little assembly lines for making ATP.
Why are these are these little energy factories so important to your health?
The answer is simple: Mitochondria are the place where metabolism happens.
When your mitochondria aren’t working properly, your metabolism runs less efficiently or can practically shut down.
Problems occur because these powerful energy producers are VERY sensitive to damage.
And when they are damaged, you suffer all the symptoms of low energy–fatigue, memory loss, pain, rapid aging, and more.
Fatigue is the most common symptom of poorly functioning mitochondria, and it is the reason we tend to poop out as we age. We add constant insult and injury to our mitochondria, and this causes them to break down and stop producing energy.
The main way your mitochondria are damaged is by uncontrolled oxidative stress. That may sound complicated, but in reality we are all familiar with “oxidative stress” even if some of us don’t know what the term means.
Oxidation is the rust on our cars, the brown color that appears on an apple when cut and exposed to air, the rancid vegetable oil in our cupboards, even the wrinkles that form on our skin.
What most of us don’t realize is that our own tissues are rusting, our own fats are going rancid, and our brains are melting as we go about our daily life.
What starts this process is some insult — too many calories, smoking, a sunburn, exposure to toxins, anti-nutrients, sugar, and more — that tips the balance, starting a chain reaction of cellular and tissue damage that leads us down the long road to weight gain and chronic illness.
For a healthy metabolism eat less processed food, junk food, sugar, and empty calories. In fact, you should really avoid these things altogether.
The ultimate outcome of oxidative stress and the resultant loss of energy is death! But the good news is that we can counteract the damage by giving ourselves a metabolic tune-up.
Let me explain …
What Is a Metabolic Tune-up?
Dr. Bruce Ames, a renowned scientist from the University of California, Berkeley, has spent the last decade discovering how we can give ourselves a metabolic tune-up.
In one study, he gave two compounds to old rats who were tired, wouldn’t get on their treadmill or swim very far, and couldn’t find the cheese in the maze. These compounds make mitochondria run better, boosting metabolism.
They are alpha-lipoic acid and acetyl-L-carnitine.
Overnight, these old rats became young rats. They got onto the treadmill, swam long distances without fatigue, and could easily find the cheese in the maze, just like their young, healthy counterparts.
How could that happen?
Well, Dr. Ames simply gave the cells the raw materials they need for optimal function. That’s it!
You can do this too, and the process is very simple …
First, find the things that damage your metabolism and mitochondria, then eliminate them.
Second, give your body the things that help mitochondria function optimally.
Here’s how you do that.
Eight Tips for Giving Yourself a Metabolic Tune-up
The first step to giving yourself a metabolic tune-up is locating and eliminating the causes of damage to the mitochondria:
- Eat less processed food, junk food, sugar, and empty calories. In fact, you should really avoid these things altogether.
- Detoxify by getting rid of environmental and internal toxins.
- Cool off the inflammation in your body.
- Balance your hormones.
Once you’ve done that, you need to boost your mitochondrial function and provide the mitochondria with the correct environment to thrive:
- Try interval training, which increases the efficiency and function of your mitochondria, and strength training, which increases the amount of muscle and the number of mitochondria.
- Eat whole, real, colorful plant food. That’s eight to 12 servings of fresh vegetables, fruits, beans, nuts, seeds, and whole grains every day. These foods are full of antioxidants and phytonutrients.
- Take mitochondria-protective and energy-boosting nutrients such as acetyl-L-carnitine, alpha-lipoic acid, coenzyme Q10, N-acetyl-cysteine, NADH, D-ribose, resveratrol, and magnesium aspartate.
- Increase your intake of omega-3 fats to help build your mitochondrial membranes.
Taking care of your mitochondria and giving yourself a metabolic tune-up will allow you to increase your energy, lose weight, and age well. It is a cornerstone of creating lifelong vibrant health.
Now I’d like to hear from you …
Have you experienced burnout and fatigue? What was that like?
What do you think about the idea of giving your metabolism a tune-up?
Do you believe that supplements can help you optimize biological function?

As I search your site and blogs, there is a missing piece on PDE-5 inhibitors
and the antifibrotic and filter globulerization improvement, and increased
health of the calcium sensing receptors, which given the 40-50% of men
with issuses on this topic is preventive of kidney stressor, and heart

It fits with your theme of preventive treatments as these enzymes inhibotors
are changing as we age.

Diagnosed with Fibromyalgia several years ago, I find your suggestions a better alternative to the multitude of medications i am on for pain, insomnia, depression and anxiety. However, with every article I read, I become a little bit more confused, and a bit overwhelmed, with the number of supplements that are suggested. How can I sift through them, and where do I begin??? I have so many “issues” I can’t seem to get out of my own way!

I think this information is very useful however for most people very complicated and the cost of care is very expensive. I mean $1000 for a Dr’s visit??? with no guarantee? It is unfortunate that insurance companies do not pay for functional medicine. Most doctors don’t have a clue.
I have your set of DVD’s on UltraWellness. Is ther a simple format for the six week program to determine allergies and cleanse the body. I need a hard copy.
Thank you
I tried alpha-lipoic acid and I couldn’t even function on it. I’ve never responded to a supplement like that. I a;sp had a food tolerance test and I showed that I am best on a meat, fish, fruit and root vegetables. The leafy greens don’t work for me. Have balanced the hormones out with bio identicals and I feel great, but need to work on the diet. This is becoming confusing. How many supplements should finally be enough?
I currently see a functional medical doctor and have had great results with his treatment. I am wondering if you have a recommendation for purchasing the supplements you mention in this article. There are few health / natural foods places in my area not to mention that sell at a reasonable cost. I believe to find a resource that is cost friendly would be pivotal for most people who wish to make these changes for a better quality of life.
Very helpful article. I have been diagnosed with psoriatic arthritis, but that was not the entire picture, more like a “burn-out”, but no doctor will address that. Have improved the PA with DMARDS, some of which I was allergic to. Docs have run the gamut of antidepressants which usually only make me worse. Still dragging, foggyheaded, not able to work full time..etcetera etcetera. This may be the key!! Thanks, any more info is very welcome.
Dear Dr. Hyman,
I love your Mitochondria-protective and energy-boosting combination. I am 55 yrs., having muscle pain also joint pain all over plus incredible fatigue! -I believe is the menapause.
I am taking these combination daily and they have helped me especially the NADH (I took NADH 20 mg sublingual daily). I’m also taking magnesium ascobate powder (Vit. C) 3,000 mg daily on divided doses on empty stomach (help with the pain).
Hi Dr. based on your articles I do have type 2 Diabetes. I am confused by 2 of your articles. In one you write that magnesium citrate is best absorbed and on this page you write about magnesium aspartate. So which is which and why? Or do I take both?
I have found this most helpful. Knowing a few things like my being intolerant to gluten and some dairy products, I have been focused on eating healthy for years. However, the years are marching on and I need a deeper focus and a deeper knowledge to be able to not only tune into what my body needs, but also know what to respond with.
I seem to be developing joint pains – fingers, knees, hips and feet sometimes. I don’t want to go down the route so many people go – some even taking chemo for goodness sake!? I like your suggested options and thank you for sharing your knowledge here.
I was diagnosed with adrenal fatigue at the beginning of this year and have really focused on removing stress from my life, and have used Pure ADR supplements and acupuncture to help them “wake up” again. With the adrenal fatigue came food sensitivites and hormonal imbalances, which have all been fixed now. I was lucky my problems were not worse, as I was already on an organic, non-processed foods diet. I appreciate your tips for boosting my mitochondrial function as that is the last piece I’m working on to get back to normal. I just started taking the D-Ribose last month and feel like it was a miracle for me. Thanks for these other supplement recommendations to get my energy back.
For those of you with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, I recommend the book, “From Fatigued to Fantastic.”
Thank you!
Nice post.Thank you for taking the time to publish this information very useful!
Hi
I finf your articles and advise very interesting. I have been suffering from Dermatamyositis for 3 years now. Been on Prednizone and Methotrexate for 3 years. Had one course of Chemo – (Rituxin) It heled for about 8 months but then sysmtoms started slowley coming back, eventually resulting in me having shingles for 16 weeks.
I have no idea what started the desease, but found your article on Metabolic Tune Up interesting, as i did get a really bad sun burn on my back that normally would go way after a week nad possibly some skin peeling. But this sun burn lasted for several weeks alsmost 6.
I have since changed my diet trying to eliminate sugar, wheat, dairy, am eating lots of vegitables ,salads and only white meat, nuts, granola, fish. am also taking vitamin Supplements C / Band D, and anti depressants. I still feel very fatigued, cant get enough rest, lack energy and strength which is my greatest concern.
I enjoy researching your site and thanks for all the helpful stuff.
cheers

I had partial cancer surgery. One of my breast was invasive and the other
insitu. Wright now I dont want to take radiation and temofax pill as a
precaustion for recurrences. Please let me know the diest and supplements
that I can take without taking the radiation and pill that doctors suggested.
I am wondering if you have any advice for a person diagnosed with stevens johnson syndrome and what that would be?
Thank you for all you do. I read the Ultra mind solution and it’s like a bible. I just need to pick it bacj up. I deal with low testosterone problems so I continue to work on that but your book is a must haveand I will get it back from this other Dr. that asked to borrow it . thank you for helping out my New year.
Yes, yes and YES! I have pretty much eliminated flour and sugar from my life and the inflammation that was showing in my extremities is GONE! Old pictures show me puffy and now with the inflammation eliminated I a am a visibly slimmer version. Thats not even taking into account how happy the inside of me is. My hormonal equation is returning to my long ago teenage self and my husband is most pleased! I wish people would be given a metabolic typing test when they were younger so you had some guidance on how to have your body function at 100% efficiency. There is no room for laziness here and with a well functioning body laziness is the last thought you will have. Interval training and exercise are so important as are the right supplemental aids for your specific needs. One is wise to seek out professional assistance in determining these needs and it will pay off substantially in the results you will achieve! Achieving good health is like an onion, you have to start peeling the layers away and slowly but surely you will get through the issues plaguing you. You may cry in the process too!

I , too am a little confused on the amount of suppliments to take. I am extremely healthy, 58, but have 25 lbs of fat I need to get rid of. I come from a family of 7 and I am the only one that does not have Type 2 Diabetes. I’m sure because of my diet and excersise, I’ve avoided it. But, with this extra weight, this is bound to change. I’m back at the gym and cleaning up my diet. I’ve always had a plant based diet and avoided processed foods, but, every year in the winter I put on weight and am back working hard to get in shape. My question is: How do I know what I’m lacking? And, what supplements will improve my energy level? Please comment…
im 64 and went from a he man to a little girl dr. gray said that the usa male is the only man that testosterone levels lower every year . What food are we eaten that lowers these levels and how do we replace them without drugs or supplements i have tryed supplements and they just mess my head and feel like hell when i take them thank you jordan
Dr. Hyman, thank you for your generous sharing of information. I feel a slight conflict while reading your suggestions. I am 54, female, diagnosed with bi-polar disorder and add. I have been without bipolar symptoms,for more than 20 years.–I take lots of drugs (abilify, wellbutrin xr, zoloft, buspirone, triamter, adderall both xr and short-acting, gingko biloba). I really want to try your wellness plan, but i am reluctant to give up the adderall because it has had such a dramatically positive effect on my life. i do feel tired when the adderall wears off late in the day, and i feel dizzy when i get up (something i think may be a side effect of the drugs…). I look about 20 years younger than my age but i feel about 10 years older. My main question is this: is it possible to take some of the mitochondria protective nutrients such as alpha-lipoic acid and acetyl-L-carnatine without disrupting the absorption of the adderall? If these nutrients would be disruptive are there some that would be better partners for the adderall? Thanks–you have done a great job of pulling a lot of information together and showing how health is something that is best achieved by approaching it on multiple levels and from many directions.
I’m currently seeing a naturopath for chronic fatigue syndrom. She mentioned that high impact exercise has been shown to be counterproductive to people with fatigue. She recommends walking or yoga. What is your take on exercise and chronic fatigue?

Another great article. Many people think eating healthy is too difficult or too time consuming. I love helping people take your suggestions and make them reality in their every day life. I suggest starting slowly. Just start with one color of the rainbow (green is my favorite starting place). Within a days, you start to feel better. The more changes you make, the more amazed you will be about your transformation. So for anyone reading and thinking these changes are too difficult, trust me they are not. I did and had great success with MS. So it is definitely possible.
my son has autism, after doing research i am convienced he has mitocohondrial problems. he is 9, eats a very bad and limited diet which is making his health worse. i have tried different diets with him, but his behavior becomes wose and i can never get him to try any different foods. i do need help. i am unsure as to how to get him to eat good foods, and then start to help with the mito problems
I am reading this article again a year later and once again am seeing myself with the same symptoms noted. Your response to my first letter with an invitation for my interest in becoming a patient of Dr Hyman’s is gracious and I would be a willing patient but the cost of his care is not realistic for a lay person such as myself. I have not been to a doctor in nearly 3 years. It is not that I do not feel I need to see one, but that I don’t have the insurance coverage or the financial means to have my symptoms charted and investigated. That said, I keep vigil about taking the supplements that I can only hope are doing me some sort of good. I have though, concluded that if life should continue in the same fashion, I have little to look forward to as I enter middle age.
■Take mitochondria-protective and energy-boosting nutrients such as acetyl-L-carnitine, alpha-lipoic acid, coenzyme Q10, N-acetyl-cysteine, NADH, D-ribose, resveratrol, and magnesium aspartate.
What brands are recommended, what dose, and take all of them, or just some? If just some, what ones? Is there some way to know without becoming a patient? Is it in one of his books?
I have done the Detox Box program and it WORKS, it is amazing.
I looked through the store for the mitochondria-protective and energy-boosting nutrients such as acetyl-L-carnitine, alpha-lipoic acid, coenzyme Q10, N-acetyl-cysteine, NADH, D-ribose, resveratrol, and magnesium aspartate that you mention in the above article and didn’t see them.
It would be a good kit to offer to your patients/readers!
Thanks
Dr. Hyman,
I love you and your work and all the free access available to everyone. I wish I were a patient of yours so that I can have you help me. I consider myself pretty healthy, at least I feel good most of the time. I do have an energy problem though not nearly as severe as some of the audience you have revived.
I don’t know whether or not to rule gluten out because I am not a big bread person. I did start to eat healthier bread like Genisis or Ezekiel breads, but it takes me from anywhere up to two months to eat a loaf. I am not the huge coffee drinker that I once was and at home I drink organic and no more than two cups if at all, a day.
I’m sure that I can add more fruits and vegetables into my diet but I think the biggest problem is that most of us grew up not knowing how to cook. Like most of us, we love to eat well as long as someone else is doing the cooking. Americans tend to be lazy. I seldom eat meat and seldom ever eat junk food. How can I start and what other suggestions can you give to me to get the ball rolling?
I do not have any health issues, no diabetes, HBP or cholesterol problems, arthritis (slight osteo in both shoulders not an issue yet). I do have seasonal allergies and just slightly overweight by about six pounds. I take vitamins but not everyday, I now and then like beer or wine, I am in good physical condition but I lack energy. I don’t know if it’s because I don’t have enough stomach acid; I’ve read that many more people are over acidic. So, I’m totally confused. It’s difficult to know where I’m at because I do not have any obvious symptons of illness. Any suggestions? Noreen

You mention 9 mitochondria protective and energy boosting nutrients in your article on metabolic turne up. Where can I find these nutrients? Are they in the adult essentials kits?? If not, then do I have to buy them seperately? That migh be very costly.
Hi Cynthia, thank you for your comment and your interest in Dr. Hyman’s website. You can find the supplements mentioned in the article in the store on Dr. Hyman’s website, they are not part of the essentials kit.

In 2004 I had a flu shot which caused extreme muscle weakness and fatigue. I could barely walk and could not work – it was about three months until I was strong enough to function. None of the 4 neurologists I consulted with could agree on just what had happened. Finally, Guillame-Barre Syndrome was suggested – but not until months after I had recovered from the worst symptoms. However, just as I was getting back to life I was diagnosed with breast cancer (2nd time) and had surgery and radiation.
Needless to say, it took a very long time to recover from all that treatment – and I never felt I got my stamina back. And over the last seven years, I have experienced all the symptoms of metabolic insufficiency, but no one actually diagnosed me. I was told that I work too hard, I need to exercise more, etc.
I have been working with a neurological chiropractor for degenerative disc disease, and he has told me I have a metabolic muscle disorder, just as you describe, which has evidenced itself in more and more weakness in my legs and arms over the years. I have become clumsy, off-balance, and weaker. He immediately told me to start a gluten-free diet which I am beginning today.
I am a licensed pyschotherapist and have worked with people with cancer and other serious/chronic illnesses for years. When I listen to my clients I know they need their caregivers to investigate more of what is behind the symptoms. I tell you my story because I applaud your belief and expertise in functional medicine and the value of it for the patient. And, how I wish I had been informed of the damage done to my body by the flu shot and the ramifications which were not investigated.
Thank you for all you do, and for this web site which is extremely helpful to me as I begin to restore myself!

Your book on the Ultra Mind Solution should be required reading for everyone old enough to understand it. I was diagnosed in my 70′s with Celiac Disease after having so much damage from this I had given up and just thought I was going to die. Have come a long way back but still suffer from all over body pain. I try everything that I think will help but so far no relief. Our problem out here beyond your clinic is finances and proper testing. I have found that taking supplements till you turn blue, not literally, just doesn’t work and may damage you if you don’t know what you are doing. I have so many other food and chemical imbalances that I don’t know how to continue and threre is little knowledge available on supplements that I need. For instance if you are allergic to grapes can you take resveratrol? I also tried taking LAlpha Lipoic Acid and Acetyl LCarnitine and found they burned my stomach so bad could not continue. Why would that be? I have inflammation all through my intestinal tract even though have eaten no gluten in years so have to be most careful. Just try to take as few supplements as possible because of this. CoQ10, magnesium,multivitamin, all gluten free.
I think what you are doing is the only hope people have for being helped but at present since most insurances don’t see it that way we are just stumbling around out here in the dark without specific guidance taking supplements in an experimental way. I went to a website online and described symptoms to them and was told to take around 25 or more supplements to help symptoms. No way could my body tolerate and digest this much as so many things irritate my digestive tract.
I am back to square one with an elemination diet to see if it helps and just will add foods and supplements each week as it is all I know to do. I will try to add the ALA and ALC back in along with the COQ10 as when I take with full stomach they do less damage. I know they can make a difference if I could only take them.
Thanks for reading this long comment and best to everyone out there making healthful improvements.
Joyce
Hi Joyce,
We appreciate your interest in Dr. Hyman’s work and than you for sharing your health story with us. Yes you certainly have some experience with inflammation! We like the idea of you on an anti inflammatory diet above all else. This type of diet is whole foods, hypoallergenic and sourced from clean foodstuffs. You might have other food allergies or sensitivities which are causing more digestive issues and blocking your body’s ability to take absorb and metabolize certain foods and supplements.
In fact, an anti inflammatory life style with proper rest, relaxation, clean air, water and food as well as community support and pleasurable activities will do you well… If supplements are an issue we much rather hear you are receiving the nutrients via food. Keep up the regimen you are currently on and add in omega 3 fish oil 2g/day and a high quality probiotic. Ensure proper elimination by having at least 1-2 bowel movments daily and drink half your weight in fl oz of clean filtered water!
In good health,
Lizzy
Lizzy,
Thanks so much for your suggestions and I will certaily apply them as there can be no harm at all in doing so. I will try to get back after about 3 months and make a report. What a great thing to be able to get advice from this website. It is deeply appreciated! Copying and putting on fridge door so will always remind me!
Joyce
