Nutrition plays a vital role in our energy level. We will take a look at energy clear down at the cellular level. The Mitochondria is the Power Station in the cells. In the Mitochondria, Oxygen and Glucose is converted to ATP and Water to energize the cell. The cell’s health is very important…especially the membranes.
Here is what the National Health Institute says about Mitochondria:
“Mitochondria are membrane bound organelles present in almost all eukaryotic cells. Responsible for orchestrating cellular energy production, they are central to the maintenance of life and the gatekeepers of cell death. Thought to have originated from symbiotic ancestors, they carry a residual genome as mtDNA encoding 13 proteins essential for respiratory chain function. Mitochondria comprise an inner and outer membrane that separate and maintain the aqueous regions, the intermembrane space and the matrix. Mitochondria contribute to many processes central to cellular function and dysfunction including calcium signalling, cell growth and differentiation, cell cycle control and cell death. Mitochondrial shape and positioning in cells is crucial and is tightly regulated by processes of fission and fusion, biogenesis and autophagy, ensuring a relatively constant mitochondrial population. Mitochondrial dysfunction is implicated in metabolic and age related disorders, neurodegenerative diseases and ischemic injury in heart and brain.”

NT Factor Phospholipids
To have high energy levels, you need quality, efficient mitochondria. Mitochondrial dysfunction is one of the biggest causes of low energy levels. Each mitochondria in your body is surrounded by a phospholipid bilayer. This phospholipid bilayer is constantly getting damaged by toxins, poor diet, sleep deprivation and even smoking and alcohol consumption. Damage to the mitochondrial membrane is unavoidable. When the membrane is damaged the mitochondria needs to temporarily shut down to repair itself; thus slowing down ATP production and giving you less energy. By using the NT Factor Phospholipids as a supplement, you essentially give the cell more phospholipid membrane availability, so when the inevitable damage occurs to your mitochondria it is quickly repaired and back to making your precious energy.
This is not just a theory. There have been multiple studies done with randomized controlled and placebo controlled studies with humans who have chronic fatigue from many sources. These studies were done to see if phospholipid replacement therapy allowed the chronic fatigue patients to have more energy and the results supported that claim over and over again. There was one study where a group of individuals over 65 took NT Factor Phospholipids and after 8 weeks had the energy levels of a healthy 29 year old. The biggest gains were made on patients with age related chronic fatigue, chronic fatigue syndrome, and Gulf War Illness fatigue.

This is a type of carnitine. What a carnitine does is it shuttle fatty acids into mitochondria to be used as fuel to make ATP aka energy. This aids in basically every bodily function you can imagine, but a few of the main ones are brain health, liver damage repair, muscle weakness, and lethargy. These are crucial functions and if any single one of those were aided fatigue would decrease dramatically, so aiding in all of them will drastically reduce any fatigue.
25 studies have been systematically reviewed to find that a carnitine deficiency is associated with mitochondrial dysfunction. 2 factors found in this study that caused carnitine deficiency are old age, diet induced obesity, and poor diet. Supplementing ALCAR has been shown to cut mental fatigue by 43% and physical fatigue by 52%! Cutting your fatigue in half is the same as doubling your energy levels. The icing on top is that carnitine in this form has been shown to be as effective as antidepressant drugs at curing depression. Depression can be linked to energy levels, so a natural supplement that biochemically gives you more energy and passively cures depression should be a priority in everyone’s diet.

Spirulina is the peak of overall health supplements. Its main functions are decreasing body weight, lowering fasting blood glucose levels, lowering systolic and diastolic blood pressure, lowering LDL-C(bad cholesterol), raising HDL-C(good cholesterol) and lowering triglyceride levels. If there was a drug that a doctor could give out that does what spirulina does, they would be prescribing it to everyone. In essence, spirulina is so effective at increasing these metabolic markers that it noticeably decreases fatigue and gives you more energy.
There are a multitude of studies showing that spirulina improved a widespread of systematic metabolic processes. There is a ton of research that even improves plasma lipid concentrations, liver function, insulin resistance, and postmenopausal metabolic processes. There are studies that show it improves exercise performance when observing runners. They’re maximum output until exhaustion was increased by 30%! In another study spirulina improved cardiovascular fitness levels. People who were sedentary and took spirulina actually had more cardiovascular improvements than those who took the placebo and were active. Individuals who took spirulina and were active had the most improvement.

PQQ is a water-soluble, vitamin-like compound that’s associated with many biological processes, including growth, reproduction, and aging. It’s also known as methoxatin or pyrroloquinoline quinone disodium salt. PQQ is produced by bacteria and can be found in many foods like tea, papaya, and kiwi fruits. It is shown to decrease inflammation, improve sleep, improve brain function, speed up metabolic processes, improve immune function, and dramatically improve mitochondrial health. PQQ is debatably the most prominent stimulant for mitochondrial biogenesis, which is the production of more mitochondria.
Some of the studies suggest that PQQ decreases many psychological conditions like anxiety, depression, confusion, and anger-hostility, while also increasing vigor. Other studies have supported the claim that PQQ helps protect neurons from toxins. This further related to PQQ’s immense effect on psychological measures

Astaxanthin
Astaxanthin improves many aspects of your health. It drastically improves strength and endurance, which relate to energy levels. Some of the other benefits are protecting mitochondria, supporting cellular energy production, increasing blood flow, supporting heart health, improving cognitive function, protecting neurons from dementia, decreasing anxiety and depression. One of its cool features is it actually acts as an internal sunscreen. Consuming enough of astaxanthin allows your skin to be more resilient to UV radiation from the sun, decreasing your likelihood to get sunburn and skin cancer. Of course one of its main benefits is increasing energy levels.
Like the NT Factor Phospholipid, the astaxanthin has to do with mitochondrial membranes. Instead of replacing damaged membranes with new material, astaxanthin actually prevents the membranes from damage. It is a compound that embeds itself within the membrane across both layers and holds it together by stabilizing both ends. Most other antioxidants can either be on the inside or outside of the membrane, but astaxanthin has an incredible ability to reach both sides of the membrane from within. Many studies have shown that it indeed does support membrane integrity against oxidative stress.

Rhodiola Rosea can have a dramatic effect on mental load. It substantially decreases the amount of stress related fatigue, and is also a very effective antidepressant. Within a matter of weeks it can cut your fatigue in half.
This compound definitely has the most research. It has been shown to have a huge half. This is probably the most reliable and quickest way to gain more energy. It also cuts in half brain fog and anxiety.
There are a ton of studies on this compound. Some of the most profound studies have shown that the individuals taking Rhodiola Rosea increased their energy levels three times faster than the placebo group. In another double blind with placebo controls, it was discovered that in 4 weeks fatigue, exhaustion, and anxiety were cut in half. This is a remarkable discovery; in just a month you can have twice the energy.

Water Fasting is a technique that has been used by people for centuries. It is no surprise that Fasting is a part of many religions. Once you have adapted your body to Fasting, you will experience the state of relaxation and concentration. You can feel the connection to your body, mind and soul. Water Fasting is great for your entire body and is widely regarded as a fat loss bio-hack. Water Fasting was once thought of as starvation. Now science has learned of all the benefits to fasting up to 72 hours. We are going to use Water Fasting as a part of the Lion Diet.
