Bioenergetic Medicine
Rooted in cellular biology and functional endocrinology
The question it asks:
"What is happening at the cellular and metabolic level that could be driving symptoms?"
What it examines
- Thyroid function and metabolic rate
- Hormonal cascades (cortisol, insulin, sex hormones)
- Mitochondrial energy production
- Blood sugar regulation and inflammatory markers
- Nutrient status and absorption efficiency
Why it matters in the protocol
Without understanding the metabolic foundation, upstream interventions can't take hold. A breathing practice won't resolve fatigue caused by subclinical hypothyroidism. A dietary shift won't balance hormones if nutrient absorption is compromised. Bioenergetic analysis gives the protocol its biochemical baseline.
