Welcome to the

Peak Revival Podcast.

My name is Vesna, and today

I am gonna talk about.

Is your body stuck

in danger mode?

And how often I see this in

women, I hear women say, you

know, "I feel exhausted all

the time because of everything

I do." And granted, they do

a lot, but that's not what

is causing your exhaustion.

It's that your body is

not able to manage energy

production and stress.

And this comes down

to because the body is

stuck in danger mode.

So I have women who come

to me because they're

exhausted, right?

And they look at everything

they do and they look at

their age they look at their

responsibilities and the

pressure and all of that

stuff on their shoulders.

And they go, well, of course

I'm going to feel exhausted

with everything going on.

And granted they do a lot.

Okay?

So I'm not gonna

disregard that.

Women, I think,

to do more today.

Than ever before.

Right?

But we have to understand

how energy is created in the

body because actually the

more energy we use and burn

off, the more you generate.

Okay?

So in our body we have cells

called the mitochondria and

they sit within the cells

and we have quadrillions

of them, and they are

energy producing cells.

They are a superpower

in our body.

so the more energy we burn

off, the more mitochondria

we produce, right?

So we're just gonna keep.

Creating more and more energy,

which is why the more we do

sometimes we have a busy day.

We just get so much done

and there are other days

we don't get much done,

but we're exhausted.

Right.

Now this won't happen in

mitochondrial dysfunction.

And how do you know

if you have something

like that going on?

And the very classic

symptom is that you

feel tired all the time.

So I'm not talking

about you feel tired

for a couple of days.

You have a good night's

sleep, you have a weekend,

and you feel completely

refreshed and recharged.

I'm not talking about

that kind of fatigue.

I'm talking about fatigue

that is not relieved by sleep.

And it persists and

persists, right?

You have a weekend

off you come Monday.

You're still tired or

you've had a couple of good

night's sleep, you're still

tired, or you've been tired

for three months or more.

That's the kind of

fatigue I'm talking about.

That's the kind of fatigue due

to mitochondrial dysfunction.

So back in about 2013, Robert

Navio, discovered something

really groundbreaking,

which I don't believe

he's talked about enough.

It's a cell danger response

and it's a survival

mechanism that our body

goes into our cells.

So when they detect

threats, they basically.

Go into hibernation mode.

So our mitochondria, these

are our mitochondria, go

into hibernation mode.

So these energy producing

cells, they give us the

energy to do everything

that we need to do.

They give us the energy to

manage our stresses, right?

They go into hibernation

mode, and that happens due

to prolonged stress, either

mental and emotional or

pathogenic like infections,

causing inflammation, toxins

and electromagnetic stress

like our devices, okay?

And being around wifi and

the lighting and all of that.

So they.

Send a message to our

mitochondria, which puts them

into the cell danger response,

and they go into hibernation.

Energy production stops,

inflammation ramps up,

cellular communication shuts

down, and our recovery or

our healing grinds to a halt.

Okay?

And so it's not a problem.

This is a natural

protective mechanism that

our body goes through.

It's a part of our

survival response.

there was a Dr. Doug

Wallace who suggested that

90 to 95% of all chronic

disease is caused by

mitochondrial dysfunction.

And I remember reading that

Robert Navio said, you know.

Our medical textbooks, they're

the kind, the 1.0 version.

We need to step into the 2.0

because the medical world is

not helping chronic disease.

Right.

And it's because they don't

have an understanding of this

cell danger response and they

don't know how to address it.

Right?

There's nothing in

their toolkit to

address this process.

One of the other things

that I hear all the time is.

Okay.

These symptoms like fatigue

and brain fog and you

know, digestive issues,

they show up in a lot of

other conditions, right?

So why are these

symptoms so similar

across other conditions?

So women will say to me.

When I do a post on social

media, they'll say, oh, but

yeah, but that's chronic

fatigue, or That's menopause,

or that's thyroid issues.

And the reason why so

many different conditions

have the same symptoms is

because there's really one

way for your body to say

"something is off" right?

And it's through this

cell danger response.

So the fatigue, the brain

fog, the bloating, the pain,

they're not separate problems.

They are signs that your body

is stuck in protection mode.

So it's different triggers,

but the same pathway.

And until you reset the

systems underneath, those

systems won't go away.

Right?

You the cell danger response,

you won't get out of it, okay.

Into the healing response.

So when there's safety in the

body, the body knows it's safe

to go into healing response

and use those resources

to stimulate healing.

So it's a protective

state and it's your body's

intelligence at work.

It's not a malfunction, right?

Really your body

is on your side.

It's just trying to

help you to survive.

So what it ends up doing

is it slows things down.

It slows your energy down

to conserve your energy.

It causes fatigue to force

you to rest, causes digestive

issues because the system

is not ready to digest food.

You can get anxiety

and pain to signal that

something's not right.

So

your body is choosing

survival over performance.

So the main thing that we

need to do is show its safety.

Again, the way that we do

that, or the way that I

do that through all of my

programs, this is really

what I'm addressing at

the heart of the program.

So the first thing that we

look at is switching off

that stress response because

what Robert Navio found was,

yes, there are multiple ways

like chemical and toxicity

and, microbes that we can.

Get this inflammation,

which puts ourselves into

cell danger response.

But the linchpin was

psychological stress and

mental and emotional stress.

Now that activates the

stress response activates

cortisol, adrenaline.

All of these hormones are

signal to the mitochondria.

We are in danger, especially

if it's for a long time.

So anything over

three months and.

What we try to do in the

program or what we do

successfully is reduce

the stress response by,

I guess in a way, almost

biohacking the nervous

system through foods, right?

So we use carbohydrates

that switches off the stress

response habits like sleeping.

We get people to do exercises

like the alpha 10, which

is really allowing the mind

to uncoil and increasing

mental bandwidth and

reducing mental noise.

Because a lot of the time

it's our mental stress

that's tripping up our

fight or flight response,

which is creating all

of this inflammation.

Then we look at removing

inflammatory foods

and balancing the

blood glucose levels.

Now, we've talked about

this in other podcasts,

but inflammatory foods,

we're looking at, you know,

processed foods, sugary

foods, alcohol, caffeine,

uh, GMO foods, gluten, right?

All of these create

inflammation in di digestive

system and throughout

the rest of the body.

The next part that we

look at is, you know,

restoring key systems

like gut and liver, right?

Really key systems, gut,

because we have our immune

system around our gut.

Gut is important to absorb

the nutrition that we actually

need to do the repair work.

Again, sending that nutrition

to the mitochondria says,

okay, it's, I'm feeling safe.

Let's start the healing

response and then the

liver to remove the

toxicity that's built up.

But also supporting the

adrenal as part of that

stress response system.

And the final thing

that I look at is

reestablishing coherence

with natural rhythms.

Sunlight, your

circadian rhythm, right?

Are you gonna bed

at the right time?

Same time?

Are you waking up

with the sunrise?

Are you getting

some sun exposure?

And are you moving your body?

So there are many ways

that you can switch off the

cell danger response, and

in this podcast, I really

wanted to show you that

this is what's underlining

most of our symptoms, right?

Robert Navio said.

The reason why we feel

tired and sick is because

of the cell danger response.

So if we can lift that

response and help our body

to feel safe, it can do what

it needs to do to rapidly

heal our body, restore our

energy, elevate our mood,

give us mental bandwidth,

and help you to perform at

your best and do everything

that you want to do and be

happy you're doing it right.

So I hope this was

helpful and I'd love to
