Mitochondrial Health and Cellular Aging in Bellevue, Washington

At Apex Health & Wellness, we take a proactive approach to slowing biological aging, improving cellular resilience, and optimizing energy production at the most foundational level — the mitochondria.
Mitochondria are the engines of your cells, and when their function declines, it can lead to fatigue, inflammation, brain fog, poor recovery, and accelerated aging.

Whether you're seeking to improve performance, prevent decline, or recover from chronic illness or stress, our protocols are designed to restore mitochondrial capacity and extend healthspan — not just lifespan.

Why Mitochondria Matter

Healthy mitochondria are essential for:

  • Sustained physical and mental energy

  • Hormonal signaling and cellular repair

  • Brain function and neuroprotection

  • Cardiometabolic efficiency

  • Inflammation control and immune regulation

  • Recovery from illness, injury, or overtraining

  • Slowing age-related functional decline

When mitochondrial output decreases — due to aging, toxins, nutrient depletion, or stress — the entire system suffers.

Signs of Mitochondrial Dysfunction

You may benefit from mitochondrial support if you experience:

  • Chronic fatigue or energy crashes

  • Poor exercise tolerance or slow recovery

  • Muscle weakness or aches

  • Brain fog or slow cognition

  • Depression, apathy, or low motivation

  • Susceptibility to viral illness or long recovery

  • Temperature sensitivity or cold intolerance

  • Slowed metabolism or weight gain with aging

  • Chronic inflammation or “aging faster than expected”

Our Functional Medicine Approach to Mitochondrial Optimization

At Apex Health & Wellness, we target the underlying contributors to mitochondrial decline using a systems-based approach.

Your protocol may include:

  • Lab testing for nutrient status, oxidative stress, hormones, and metabolic efficiency

  • IV nutrient therapy to bypass absorption issues and rapidly replenish mitochondrial cofactors, such as:

    • NAD+

    • Alpha-lipoic acid (ALA)

    • B vitamins, magnesium, carnitine, CoQ10

  • Peptide therapies (if appropriate) that promote mitochondrial biogenesis and energy signaling, including:

    • MOTS-c

    • 5-Amino-1MQ

    • SS-31 (elamipretide) – a mitochondria-targeted antioxidant peptide that helps stabilize energy production in stressed or aging cells

    • BPC-157 (indirect mitochondrial support)

  • Oral supplementation targeting mitochondrial health, such as:

    • CoQ10 or ubiquinol

    • Acetyl-L-carnitine

    • PQQ, resveratrol, magnesium, and D-ribose

  • Lifestyle optimization for mitochondrial resilience, including:

    • Fasting protocols or caloric cycling

    • Cold exposure and heat therapy

    • Circadian rhythm entrainment

    • Exercise timing and intensity tailored to energy status

    • Blood sugar and inflammation control

Rather than treat symptoms of fatigue or aging in isolation, we work to restore the cellular engines driving your vitality.

  • Individuals pursuing performance longevity and healthspan optimization

  • Adults feeling older than they are — cognitively or physically

  • Patients recovering from chronic fatigue, long COVID, or toxin exposure

  • Athletes experiencing overtraining or performance plateau

  • Executives and high performers with burnout or mental fatigue

  • Individuals experiencing early markers of age-related decline

Who We Work With

Your Path to Cellular Optimization: A Simple 3-Step Process

Step 1: Consultation
We begin with a 60-minute visit to explore your goals, symptoms, and mitochondrial risk factors.

Step 2: Mitochondrial-Focused Lab Testing
Where clinically indicated, we assess nutrient depletion, inflammation, oxidative stress, and mitochondrial performance markers.

Step 3: Cellular Optimization Plan
We design a personalized strategy using IV therapy, peptides, targeted nutrients, and lifestyle upgrades to restore your cellular potential.
