"I truly believe that the concept of Mitochondrial c
Therapy will have significant impact on . As I mentioned in
my book, cancer is not likely to occur in people with y
mitochondria. Dr. Mercola has expanded this concept to a broad
range of chronic diseases that involve mitochondrial dysfunction.
He provides a clear rationale as well as guidelines for
implementation of MMT. This book should be read by anyone
interested in maintaining their without toxic
ceuticals."

and professor of biology at Boston College
"Dr. Mercola’s for Fuel eloquently presents the leading edge
of science, exploring how best to power your body. This is a
life-changing text that not only provides a deep dive into why
choosing as our primary fuel source powerfully correlates
with and disease resistance, but also delivers in terms of
how the reader can easily bring about this fundamentally
important change. , on a global scale, has suffered

"In for Fuel, Dr. Mercola beautifully lays out the
history—and the myths—behind the high-carbohydrate, low- diet
that has been at the root of so much illness and death in the
last half-century. Dr. Mercola is one of the few who have
properly understood and embraced my long-standing belief that
one’s and lifespan is mostly determined by the proportion
of versus sugar one burns over a lifetime. He also
understands that excess protein creates another whole set of
-eroding issues. Anyone who values their should read
this book."
— Ron Rosedale, M.D.
"The world of tion is more confusing than ever. But one
thing has become increasingly evident over the past decade:
teaching our bodies to use instead of glucose as the main
fuel source has immense potential to support patients suffering
from some of the most devastating chronic diseases. Dr. Mercola’s
for Fuel will be an invaluable resource for me in two ways:
personally, because I’m a cancer patient myself striving to
create an environment that will keep my disease at bay, but also
professionally as a tional therapist. for Fuel will help
me inform, educate, and guide my clients."
— Patricia Daly, dipNT, mNTOI, mBANT

instructions that will empower you to take control of your

doctors."
— Zach Bush, M.D., endocrinologist
" for Fuel is a powerful manifesto reexamining the -phobic
paradigm that has long dominated the thinking about and
tion. This is an extremely valuable guidebook for those
seeking to understand and implement transformational dietary
changes to boost their c and cellular function. By
shifting away from the idea of glucose as the optimal source of
energy, Dr. Mercola shows how we can harness the benefits of
and ketones for clean-burning fuel in the quest for optimal

"In 2017, we have many chronic illness epidemics in the USA. At
the center of most of those epidemics is the toxic,
ent-depleted, dysfunctional human cell. And research is now
showing us that the most important organelle in that cell
contributing to most of these diseases is the mitochondria. In
his book for Fuel, Joe Mercola has given us a practical
blueprint for how to revive our mitochondria using diet as a
powerful foundation, with a few other added simple tools, such as
intermittent fasting, exercise, light therapy, and some
supplemental ents. Dr. Mercola tested the Mitochondrial
c Therapy recommendations he makes in this book on
himself, with many months of trials and errors and continuous
glucose monitoring. He also amassed impressive scientific
research from the literature to prove what he recommends on these
pages. I highly endorse for Fuel as the most practical
do-it-yourself guide available today for people to take back
control of their and resolve chronic illnesses."

board, Academy of Comprehensive Integrative Medicine

further, revealing that using as your main fuel source can
heal your body at a mitochondrial level, restoring energy and
well-being and even helping fight cancer and other diseases.
Impeccably researched and passionately argued, for Fuel
dispels dangerous myths about ‘ful’ diets, reveals truths
the food industry won’t tell you about the food you eat, and
starts you on a path to radically transforming your ."

"I had been playing around with low-carb and keto cooking on and
off for a year but not making much progress toward my weight-loss
goals. After reading for Fuel I understand that I was limited
by a kindergarten-level understanding of the ketogenic diet
compared to what I needed to know and do in order to be
successful. My her’s recent death due to Alzheimer’s has
motivated me to be deadly serious about doing whatever I can to
avoid this and other chronic diseases. I’ve read hundreds of
tion books over my lifetime but this one is my favorite and
the one I know will make the biggest impact on your if you
have the commitment to follow it to the letter. Once again, an
outstanding contribution from Dr. Mercola!"
