Mito (Energy) Food Plan

What is the Mito Food Plan?

The Mito Food Plan (also referred to as the Energy Food Plan) may be described as as the mitochondrial anti-inflammatory, low-glycemic, gluten-free, low-grain, high-quality fats approach to eating. The plan focuses on supporting healthy mitochondria through the use of therapeutic foods that improve energy production. Mitochondria are structures in the cell that make energy by using oxygen and nutrients from food. The brain, heart, nerves, muscles, and organs all have higher concentrations of mitochondria. These parts of the body are also more susceptible to a premature decline in function by a host of common insults. Harmful food choices can contribute to this decline, leading to poor health and chronic illness.

The Mito diet is prescribed by a Functional & Holistic Medicine Practitioner and will support your body in the production of energy, restore a sense of vitality, and help you use food to support a graceful and healthy aging process. The mitochondrial diet food list can assist in preventing the development of chronic neurological disease by helping people to choose specific foods that enhance mitochondrial function.

Currently, our medical food plans are only available to RIFM members through our patient portal (Elation).
