Why Mitochondrial Supplements Don't Work — Until You Do This First


Listen Later

5If you've ever wondered why your CoQ10, NAD, or PQQ stack isn't giving you more energy — this episode will change the way you think about fatigue forever.

Your mitochondria aren't just little powerhouses. They're safety sensors — constantly asking one question: "Am I safe enough to make energy right now?"

In this solo deep-dive, Coach Debbie Potts unpacks the cutting-edge science of the Cell Danger Response (CDR) — based on Dr. Robert Naviaux's research — and why forcing energy production before your cells feel safe can actually make things worse.

You'll learn: 🔬 Why your mitochondria slow energy output on purpose — and how that's a protective response, not a failure. ⚙️ Why supplements like CoQ10, NAD, or PQQ often backfire when used too early. 💡 The six "safety signals" from Ari Whitten's Energy Blueprint that naturally restart energy production. 🧠 How chronic stress, the vagus nerve, and hormones all tie into the same mitochondrial story. 🧘 The three-phase strategy Debbie uses to rebuild energy — from drainage and nervous system repair to targeted mitochondrial support. 📊 How to measure true recovery with PNOĒ Metabolic Testing, HRV, and functional labs.

This episode bridges the gap between stress physiology, cellular metabolism, and real-world recovery — showing you why you must calm the system before you can fuel it.

If you're tired of chasing energy with supplements that don't work, this is your roadmap back to cellular safety, optimal metabolism, and your Future You.
