Are Your Feeling Like Garbage?

Wired Wellness Weekly 

At Wired BioHealth™, we’re rooted in science and data—but we make it understandable and actionable, no lab coat required. This week, we’re focusing on autophagy, your body’s natural “cleanup crew,” and why supporting it can improve both physical and mental wellness.

What is Autophagy?

Autophagy literally means “self-eating.” It’s your body’s way of clearing out damaged cells, proteins, and cellular debris—recycling them into energy and building blocks for healthy new cells. Think of it as your body’s built-in housekeeping system, keeping your cells efficient, clean, and resilient.

Why Autophagy Matters for Physical and Mental Health

Autophagy supports:

• Energy and recovery: Keep your body feeling vibrant and resilient

• Immune function: Regulate inflammation and stay healthy

• Mental clarity and mood: Support brain health and emotional balance

When autophagy is less efficient, your body may struggle to clear toxins and recover fully, which can affect energy, mood, and even behavior.

Genetics and Autophagy Efficiency

Not everyone’s autophagy works the same way. While the process is essential for cellular cleanup and repair, some people have genetic variants that can make autophagy naturally slower, less efficient, or more easily disrupted by stress, diet, or environmental factors. This means that a “one-size-fits-all” approach may not deliver the same benefits for everyone.

For example, strategies like intermittent fasting—commonly promoted for boosting autophagy—can be highly effective for some individuals but too stressful or insufficient for others. Your ideal fasting window, the timing of your meals, and even how often you should fast can vary widely based on your genetics, biomarker patterns, metabolic flexibility, and lifestyle. In some cases, additional biochemical or nutrient support may be needed to help the body activate and sustain the autophagy pathways properly.

Personalizing these strategies ensures that you’re not just following trends, but working with your biology to optimize cellular repair, energy production, and long-term health. If you understand how your body is wired, you can make smarter, more targeted choices that actually move the needle.

Personalized Support Beyond Fasting

Once we identify your genetic variants, we can create personalized biochemical pathway support plans to help you:

• Optimize autophagy naturally

• Enhance energy, focus, and emotional balance

• Support recovery from cellular stress

Autophagy Is Just Part of the Story

Autophagy is one piece of your wellness puzzle. We also test for genes responsible for other critical biological processes, including:

• Inflammation regulation

• Mitochondrial function and energy production

• Detoxification pathways

• Methylation and epigenetic control

• Vitamin D transportation

• …and more

By looking at these processes together, we get a full picture of your biology and can design truly personalized wellness strategies that support your body, mind, and behavior.

Your personalized health plan is waiting—let’s build it together.
