The mitochondria are the energy producing factories in all cells of our body. They are termed the ‘the powerhouse of the cell’. Without efficiently working mitochondria we may feel tired at best or very unwell or with disease at worst. Our body relies solely on this energy (also known as ATP), for all the chemical reactions in the body including the repair process.
Through free radical damage our mitochondria can become impaired and as a result unable to fulfil their role efficiently. This causes imbalances within the body which may manifest as disease.
Mitochondrial therapy works by restoring the efficiency of the mitochondria. First the patient is tested to assess their ability to adapt to stress, followed by a targeted mitochondrial therapy treatment plan using food supplements designed by Prof. Baevsky. His medicinal supplements are mitochondrial medicine at its most sophisticated and advanced stage.
The treatment came about due to Prof. Baevsky’s research whilst working with Mars Project cosmonauts in Moscow to reduce the ageing process of astronauts (the body ages 8 times faster in space). This has since led onto other revolutionary medical results. The test does not diagnose disease, however these innovative and unique techniques aim to measure the state of health of a person before pathological symptoms are detectable.
How does it work ?
We use a 5 minute heart rate variability test while you sit relaxing in a chair.
The reading produced by the test offers information relating to how your body is currently functioning.
Your readings can indicate if you can lose weight, or produce optimal energy, if your immune and hormonal systems are functioning as healthy as possible, and if you have the ability to adapt to the sum total of all your stressors.
All of the above are managed by the autonomic nervous system, which is also known as the master regulator of metabolism. The ANS ensures your body is balanced and healthy but is not under your conscious control. So, when food is eaten, the ANS switches on digestion. Should you hear a loud noise, the ANS switches off digestion and prepares the body for a flight or fight response. The key is to ensure your ANS is balanced and it all starts with energy.
As mentioned above, energy is produced in our cells and all cells are powered by mitochondria. Mitochondria begin to decline with the ageing process, and according to the latest Russian research, the ageing process begins at 26 years!
Based on your individual reading we can recommend dietary supplement formulas, designed for and used by Russian cosmonauts to reduce the ageing process.
The supplements do not ‘treat’ anything but they do support regeneration at the systemic level. The process of regeneration takes, on average between 12-20 weeks. We repeat HRV tests every 2 months to determine the effectiveness of the supplementation. There is no placebo effect with HRV tests.
