Ten ways to improve ATP Production: AKA cellular energy!
1. Exercise Regularly:
- Physical activity stimulates cellular processes that increase ATP production. Both aerobic exercises (running, swimming) and resistance training contribute to energy production efficiency. Your body needs two ingredients to fuel your cells: simple sugars and oxygen! So let’s get that blood flowing!
2. Stay Hydrated
- Dehydration can hinder ATP production. Ensure you're drinking enough water throughout the day to support optimal cellular function. Fresh, juicy seasonal fruit and living green juices hydrate your cells at the cellular level, so get plenty of fresh fruit on an empty stomach and load up on your superfoods! Also, add in your coco hydrate as this acts like a fire extinguisher to inflammation and replenishes your electrolytes, which are necessary for all functions of the body. Electrolytes get diminished from stress and inflammation.
3. Get Enough Sleep:
- Quality sleep is crucial for cellular repair and regeneration, supporting efficient ATP production. Aim for 7-9 hours of sleep per night. Add in your apothecherry, which, over time, regulates your circadian rhythms. Add Bio-relax to melt muscular-skeletal tension and nervous system stress out of the body; you’ll feel like a newborn baby.

4. Include CoQ10 in Your Diet:
- CoQ10 is a key player in ATP synthesis. Foods like fish, organ meats, Spinach, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Oranges, Strawberries, Sesame seeds, your superfoods, Pistachios, and whole grains contain CoQ10.
5. Manage Stress:
- Chronic stress can negatively impact ATP production. Incorporate techniques like mindfulness, deep breathing, and time in nature to create a more ATP-friendly environment. Also, add “Kids in Focus” or “Bee Energetic” to support your adrenal glands and nervous system, which regulate your response to stress. I don’t know anyone who can’t benefit from adrenal and nervous system support!
6. Cold Exposure:
- Exposure to cold temperatures, whether through cold showers or cryotherapy, stimulates mitochondrial activity and enhances ATP production.

7. Intermittent Fasting:
- Periods of fasting can promote mitochondrial health and stimulate autophagy, a process that removes damaged cells, potentially improving ATP production. Our superfoods naturally stimulate this process as they are nutrient-rich and easy to digest. I eat 2/3 less food when I have my superfoods because my body receives what it needs at the cellular level.
8. Include Omega-3 Fatty Acids in Your Diet:
- Omega-3s, found in fatty fish, flaxseeds, and walnuts, support mitochondrial function, contributing to ATP production. Your daily supply is found in your shakes and in your power shake to support brain health.
9. Maintain Optimal Body Weight:
- Excess body weight, is associated with mitochondrial dysfunction. Maintaining a healthy weight supports efficient energy production.
This doesn’t happen overnight. But it will happen over time. Give yourself GRACE.
It takes time to balance your hormones, improve your gut health, and let go of cellular waste. Stay consistent, honor your body, honor your needs, and you will get to your goals. You’re not alone, we got you!
How to increase your cellular energy: Final Tip
10. Add Can’t Beet” to your routine:
- This contains beetroot, which is known for its nitrate content, which can be converted to nitric oxide in the body. Nitric oxide plays a role in improving blood flow and oxygen delivery to cells, supporting energy production. It also contains adaptogenic herbs, which help the body adapt to stress and improve adrenal function. Cordyceps increase oxygen flow in the body to support ATP production and is beneficial at high altitudes to mitigate altitude sickness.
Remember, these strategies work synergistically. A holistic approach that combines healthy dietary choices, regular exercise, adequate sleep, and stress management will create an environment conducive to optimal ATP production.
