How The Health Hub Supports Recovery
Our bodies are composed of trillions of cells, each with a unique function—whether in the brain, muscles, bones, or tendons. Inside nearly every one of these cells (except red blood cells) are mitochondria, tiny structures often referred to as the “powerhouses” of the cell. They generate the energy required for cells to perform their specific tasks.
Why Mitochondria Matter?
Different types of cells require different amounts of energy. Muscle, brain, and especially heart cells contain more mitochondria because of the demanding work they perform. When mitochondria don’t produce enough energy, cellular functions falter—leading to symptoms. For instance, mitochondrial dysfunction in the brain may result in “brain fog.”
Several factors can impair cell function:
-
Inadequate nutrition
-
Lack of oxygen
-
Viral infections
-
Toxins
Mitochondria depend on three things to generate energy through the Kreb cycle and produce ATP (the body’s energy currency): fuel, oxygen, and electrical energy.
The Root of Inflammation: Mitochondrial Dysfunction
When mitochondria can’t function properly, inflammation begins at the cellular level, triggering a wide range of symptoms. This is particularly relevant when we look at Long Covid and vaccine-related symptoms.
Long Covid and Spike Proteins
Emerging research suggests that spike proteins—present both during Covid infections and after vaccinations—may interfere with normal cell functions. Nearly every cell in the body has receptors for these proteins, so the resulting disruption can affect the heart, liver, lungs, brain, muscles, nerves, and more. This explains why Long Covid manifests differently from person to person.
Health Hub Therapies: Supporting Your Cells
At the Health Hub, we focus on restoring optimal cellular function by addressing the key ingredients for energy production:
-
Fuel (nutrition)
-
Oxygen
-
Electrical energy
We also work to eliminate toxins that block healthy cell function—such as heavy metals (lead, cadmium) and chemicals like BPA from plastics. Our therapies include:
These treatments are painless, have no known side effects, and are currently not offered through the NHS.
Holistic Support and Information
As an information and recovery centre, the Health Hub also offers:
-
Advice from a qualified naturopath on diet and supplements
-
Recommendations for detox, including infrared saunas
-
Shared strategies for managing chronic symptoms
We recognise that while everyone’s experience with Long Covid is unique, the fundamentals of cellular function remain the same.
