Energise your life with MetaPWR Mito2Max - doTERRA Europe | Science Talks

<<6>> Hi, I'm Abby Stopher.

<<8>> I am the Senior Product Marketing Manager

<<10>> for dōTERRA Europe,

<<12>> and today I am joined by two

<<14>> of our Scientific and Medical Education Committee members,

<<18>> Dr Fernando Guerra and Dr Alexandra Nitsche, hello.

<<22>> - Hello Abby.

<<23>> Thank you for being part of this today.

<<25>> Today we're going to be talking

<<26>> about the new MetaPWR Mito2Max.

<<30>> But before we get into that, Alexandra,

<<33>> can you tell me, what is energy in the human body?

<<38>> How and where is it made?

<<40>> - So if energy is the fuel of our bodies,

<<45>> it's like gasoline,

<<47>> it's the fuel for our course, right?

<<49>> So we need this energy or this power for doing everything.

<<54>> That means we need it for moving our muscles, we need it

<<58>> for breathing, we need it even for thinking.

<<62>> But how or where is this energy?

<<65>> Or who is the one who is responsible for making this energy?

<<69>> And these are our mitochondria.

<<72>> And the mitochondria,

<<73>> they are the powerhouses in our cells.

<<76>> They live in every cell in our body except the red blood

<<81>> cells, but in every other cell in our body.

<<84>> So in over 34 trillion cells, we have

<<87>> 34 trillion little tiny entities

<<92>> in our body.

<<93>> And these little tiny entities are really fascinating

<<97>> because they are individual,

<<100>> and we inherit them from our mother.

<<103>> But the interesting thing is that all

<<106>> of us have the same mitochondria in us.

<<110>> So the same entities with almost no difference.

<<114>> They can't live without us,

<<116>> but we also can't live without them.

<<119>> And they are producing energy

<<122>> by producing ATP.

<<124>> So we can say ATP is the energy in our cell,

<<128>> it's like a little battery.

<<130>> So if we need energy in our bodies, then the ATP

<<133>> or the battery is releasing this energy

<<137>> and then our body functions can work.

<<140>> But the question is, what is the fuel

<<142>> for the mitochondria making energy?

<<145>> And I think this is a really important topic

<<147>> because these are nutrients.

<<150>> And it's so important to talk about what we eat

<<154>> because everything that we eat, our body tries

<<157>> to convert into energy inside our cells,

<<161>> in our mitochondria with cellular respiration.

<<166>> And these are the so-called macronutrients, carbohydrates,

<<171>> proteins and fats.

<<173>> And because of that, it's so important what kind

<<176>> of fuel we give to our mitochondria,

<<178>> because then it depends on

<<181>> how strong our energy is on the one side,

<<183>> and second, it's also important for our mitochondria

<<187>> to keep them healthy because we really need them.

<<191>> - Great, so it's obviously incredibly important,

<<194>> what we consume can play a really big part

<<197>> in how our mitochondria performs for us.

<<201>> So Fernando, could you talk

<<204>> to us about the constituents within MetaPWR Mito2Max,

<<209>> and how they help with energy production?

<<212>> So the constituents are really important to give us

<<215>> all the energy that mitochondria has,

<<219>> and those constituents are important

<<224>> because they help the mitochondria to work better.

<<227>> So if you look at the mitochondria as a big factory,

<<232>> which is very tiny inside the cell, there's a lot

<<236>> of molecular processes that work together like a symphony

<<241>> to produce energy.

<<243>> And Mito2Max helps us

<<245>> to help the small machines that produce

<<249>> the electrons, that produce the ATP, that will be required

<<254>> for multiple reactions in our body.

<<257>> Sometimes people don't realise,

<<258>> but for every reaction we need energy.

<<263>> So we cannot make an enzyme work without the energy.

<<268>> And that energy is provided by our mitochondria,

<<271>> and without that we cannot survive.

<<274>> And Alexandra, what are some of the things

<<277>> that make us feel tired during the day?

<<280>> Are there things that interfere with our energy?

<<284>> Of course,

<<285>> and I think we all know the feeling,

<<287>> how it is being tired during the day,

<<290>> but the primary reason for being tired is a lack

<<294>> of sleep and rest.

<<296>> And this is a really big problem, we mentioned earlier

<<299>> that people are not aware when they go to bed,

<<302>> or what they do before bed, they don't have

<<304>> sleep hygiene.

<<308>> And it's important that we avoid screen time

<<312>> before sleeping because our bodies,

<<316>> and also our cells,

<<317>> and also our mitochondria, they need rest

<<321>> so that they can recharge their batteries

<<323>> for the next challenges that our bodies have to do.

<<327>> But there are also other factors that can influence

<<331>> our mood or our tiredness.

<<335>> And these are things like a lack of good food,

<<338>> so if we have bad nutrition

<<343>> with not so healthy macronutrients,

<<348>> or a lack of macronutrients as well.

<<350>> So we talked also about different lifestyles,

<<353>> and some lifestyles they avoid different foods,

<<357>> and this could also make problems.

<<361>> Then a lot of stress, a lot of stress.

<<364>> Unhealthy relationships is also a really big topic.

<<369>> Maybe you had in your life a moment when you

<<372>> had a personal problem with somebody, or a fight,

<<376>> or maybe you were sad,

<<378>> and we feel in these moments how tired we are,

<<382>> how exhausted we are, and it takes so much energy

<<386>> inside us if we have these

<<390>> bad relations in our life.

<<393>> So if we have a look at our wellness chart again,

<<397>> there is everything that can lead to

<<401>> a lot of energy, what can give us a lot of fuel for

<<406>> our mitochondria, but also mentioned

<<410>> are the things that can lead to

<<414>> fatigue and also tiredness.

<<417>> I think also lifestyle habits can influence

<<420>> our energy in our body.

<<423>> Like if we have excessive consumption

<<426>> of caffeine or alcohol,

<<429>> all these lifestyle habits can also have a high

<<432>> impact on that.

<<433>> - And it's hard I think

<<434>> because you can have really good habits,

<<437>> you can have all the best intentions

<<439>> to have healthy habits,

<<440>> but sometimes life just doesn't or

<<442>> your day doesn't work out that way, right?

<<444>> You can plan to go to bed,

<<446>> be off screen time at 8:00 PM, be in bed at 9:00 PM,

<<449>> and then for whatever reasons, work,

<<452>> kids, stress, keeps you up.

<<454>> So it's hard to have that support to take you through

<<458>> during those times as well when sometimes

<<460>> life just doesn't match what you are hoping to plan for.

<<464>> - It is, I agree totally,

<<465>> and because of that, it's important

<<466>> that we don't change our habits all in one day,

<<470>> because maybe then we go into this challenge for one,

<<474>> two, maybe three days and after a few weeks, everything

<<477>> will be like it was in the last year.

<<480>> So we have to change tiny things.

<<482>> So if we don't like salad, or we are not eating salad

<<487>> because it needs time to cut every food

<<491>> into small parts, then let's start only with a tomato.

<<495>> Start with a tomato for maybe one week, and then

<<497>> after one week we can add a cucumber and so on.

<<501>> And this we can also do with our healthy habits in our life,

<<505>> we say, "Okay, maybe today I will go a little bit

<<510>> earlier to bed", or "Today I will stop

<<515>> my screen time at 7:00 PM."

<<519>> Start with little things,

<<521>> and then we can enhance them

<<524>> and then maybe one day we will have

<<527>> a totally healthier lifestyle.

<<529>> But every step is important

<<531>> and I think we have to try it now.

<<534>> So today has to be day one

<<537>> of changing our lifestyle.

<<539>> - For sure, and sometimes it's hard to believe

<<541>> that little things can make up

<<542>> that big of a difference in the long run.

<<544>> And I'm guilty, I've got to be honest.

<<548>> - We all are.

<<549>> When I'm feeling like I'm lacking energy, I might consume

<<553>> something or take something that will give me energy

<<556>> to get me through either a meeting,

<<559>> or to help support me through that day,

<<560>> but sometimes I'll feel a bit anxious afterwards

<<564>> or I'll feel jittery.

<<567>> Is that something that, as we talk about MetaPWR Mito2Max,

<<571>> is that an effect

<<572>> that I and those that might be in the same boat

<<575>> as me, might receive?

<<576>> - We need to think about all

<<579>> those symptoms in a broader way.

<<582>> - Okay.

<<583>> So looking at the chart,

<<585>> looking at what you do for your rest, your diet.

<<589>> All combined helps, with Mito2Max, to avoid those feelings.

<<595>> And we can't forget, if we take it every day

<<598>> and skip one day or two, or you are going to travel

<<601>> and you just forget to take it,

<<604>> we will not feel that feeling of anxiousness,

<<610>> because the levels that are achieved are stabilised,

<<614>> and there are minor effects

<<618>> or a lack of them when you don't take the dose

<<622>> of Mito2Max for one day or two. That doesn't give you

<<626>> a lack of that substance.

<<631>> The elements and the substances that we choose,

<<634>> because they are so natural and also so well studied,

<<638>> it helps not only with our energy,

<<641>> but also with our mental state.

<<643>> It helps us to feel better,

<<647>> to balance ourself.

<<651>> - So Fernando, can you tell us the best way

<<653>> to take MetaPWR Mito2Max?

<<656>> - Sure.

<<656>> So it depends for everyone, everyone is different.

<<660>> It depends on how their day starts.

<<664>> So it's better to always take with food,

<<669>> maybe in the morning.

<<669>> Let me tell you how my experience was before.

<<674>> Before, I just took a coffee in the morning,

<<677>> and then I started to change to Mito2Max

<<681>> to see how it works for me,

<<684>> and it really works very well.

<<685>> So I feel that push in the morning, "Let's go, let's go

<<689>> to work, let's go to the meeting."

<<691>> So actually it gives me that feeling of wellbeing

<<695>> for the day, and without any of the other effects

<<700>> you sometimes get when you take a beverage, where

<<703>> at the end you feel the need to take another.

<<706>> And you don't feel that with Mito2Max, you feel good.

<<708>> And that's why I recommend

<<711>> taking it in the morning with food.

<<713>> For some people thinking about taking it,

<<717>> don't take it at night.

<<719>> Sometimes because of the product itself,

<<723>> it gives you too much push and then you want to sleep.

<<725>> And then we have trouble with the sleep itself.

<<728>> I really recommend for the morning push

<<731>> to just start the day.

<<732>> - And Alexandra, so we are sat here today

<<734>> with MetaPWR Mito2Max, which is a new formula.

<<737>> Previously we had Mito2Max.

<<740>> Can you talk us through

<<741>> what the differences are in this new formula,

<<744>> and with it now coming underneath the MetaPWR umbrella?

<<748>> - Yes, so at first we had the MetaPWR umbrella,

<<751>> like you said.

<<753>> That's great because I think energy

<<755>> and metabolism are connected.

<<757>> And now we have the MetaPWR essential oil

<<760>> as a new ingredient inside.

<<762>> So we have all the benefits from the essential oils we have

<<765>> in the MetaPWR oil blend; that's Lemon, Grapefruit,

<<769>> Peppermint, it's the Cinnamon Bark and also the Ginger.

<<774>> And all these essential oils with all their benefits

<<777>> for the metabolism can support the mitochondria.

<<781>> And the mitochondria, sometimes they need

<<783>> a little bit of help,

<<784>> and we talk about these ingredients which can help

<<786>> or support mitochondria, and we call them mitoceuticals.

<<791>> These mitoceuticals at first

<<793>> are protecting mitochondria in one way,

<<795>> and in the other way they are helping them with their

<<797>> challenge, like helping transport the macronutrients in

<<801>> the citric acid cycle.

<<804>> And because of that, for supporting

<<807>> more of this mitochondria with mitoceuticals,

<<809>> there are in total five new ingredients

<<812>> in the new Mito2Max.

<<813>> So at first we talked about the MetaPWR, this is new,

<<816>> then the PQQ is new, and the Eriodictyon Californicum,

<<822>> but there are two more ingredients

<<825>> and these ingredients are only in the European formula.

<<828>> We have the Pantothenic Acid inside,

<<831>> so the vitamin B5 we already know and love,

<<835>> and we have the manganese citrate inside, so

<<838>> an all-over, really big and supportive combination.

<<843>> And I think that all these ingredients can work together

<<847>> in a synergistic way,

<<850>> and can support our mitochondria

<<853>> and so support our energy level

<<857>> now on a higher level.

<<859>> - Definitely. Sounds like it is a powerhouse.

<<862>> It was before,

<<864>> but definitely an upgraded version of Mito2Max,

<<867>> which we hope everyone's going to love and enjoy.

<<870>> So thank you both for your time today.

<<872>> - Thank you - It's been great to talk to you.
