Bioenergetic State Shifting

Meaning

Bioenergetic State Shifting describes a physiological intervention designed to purposefully alter the body’s primary mode of energy production and substrate utilization. This clinical concept moves the cellular metabolism away from a less efficient, often glucose-dependent state toward a more robust, mitochondrially efficient state, typically involving enhanced fat oxidation. The goal is to optimize cellular health, improve metabolic flexibility, and support systemic vitality.
