Have you ever heard of the Molecular Fitness Lifestyle?

Most likely, you haven’t.

Though I have read many health-related books, newsletters, blogs, research articles, and journals over the years, I am absolutely fascinated by the breakthrough concepts presented by Dr. Tenalian’s research on fitness at the molecular level and the role of the Connexin molecule in relation to disease and wellness. Obviously, we want to reduce the risk of cancer and getting common diseases by eating healthy foods but the key concept in Molecular Fitness is to maintain a certain balance of Connexin-rich foods and pH to improve cell-to-cell communication, prevent disease, promote optimal health, enhance quality of life, and extend duration of our life.

Don’t know what a Connexin molecule is… well, conveniently Dr. Tenalian has provided us brief online tutorials on his website called Connexin College. You can easily launch courses by clicking on the orange buttons on the right and download PDFs as needed.

So what is the Molecular Fitness Lifestyle?

The Molecular Fitness Lifestyle is a science-based preventative and restorative program, the first to address health and wellness at the molecular level. The goal is achieving and maintaining optimal wellness from the inside out.

The focus is on optimizing connexin function.

Connexin molecules are found on every cell in your body and when they are open, they can connect your cells together and enable cell-to-cell communication. Continuous cellular communication helps to promote a stronger, healthier mind and body and may reduce the risk of the following 8 major diseases–Cancer, Heart Disease, Diabetes, Arthritis, Osteoporosis, Alzheimer’s, Hypothyroid, and Ocular Disease.

Weight loss and weight management is also a key benefit of The Molecular Fitness Lifestyle. By increasing connexin function and reducing low-grade metabolic acidosis (acidity), your body can best metabolize fat. Rather than counting calories, weighing food or restricting your diet, we redirect your caloric intake to optimize your health while increasing your body’s ability to break down fat.

The Molecular Fitness Lifestyle includes the following elements: 1) Education 2) Diet and Nutrition 3) Supplements 4) ConneXercise 5) Monitoring, and 6) Community.
