The clinical and nutritional strategy aimed at resolving a chronic state where energy expenditure consistently exceeds caloric intake, or where cellular energy production is compromised, leading to systemic fatigue and metabolic dysfunction. Elimination involves balancing the energy equation at both the macro-level (dietary intake vs. physical activity) and the micro-level (mitochondrial ATP production). This is crucial for reversing symptoms of chronic fatigue and supporting anabolic processes.
Origin
This term combines the concept of “energy deficit” from thermodynamics and nutritional science with the clinical goal of “elimination.” The deficit refers to a negative energy balance, which can be symptomatic of underlying hormonal or metabolic dysregulation. Addressing this is a foundational step in restoring hormonal balance and overall vitality.
Mechanism
Elimination requires identifying and correcting the root causes of the energy imbalance, which often includes optimizing thyroid hormone action and improving insulin sensitivity for efficient glucose uptake. At the cellular level, the mechanism focuses on supporting mitochondrial health through nutrient cofactors and reducing oxidative stress, thereby maximizing the efficiency of the electron transport chain. Successful elimination results in stable energy levels and improved hormonal signaling.
