When your cells are “running on fumes,” you don’t need another pep talk. You need a reset.
The Mitochondrial Reboot Protocol is a physician-guided metabolic restoration program designed to improve how your body creates energy (ATP) and uses fuel at the cellular level. Your mitochondria are the engines inside your cells, turning food into usable energy. When they slow down, everything downstream gets noisy: nerves, brain, hormones, circulation, recovery, and resilience.
What are mitochondria and why do they matter?
Mitochondria are often called the “powerhouses” of the cell because they convert nutrients into ATP, the energy currency that powers repair, function, and performance.
When mitochondrial function declines, your body may struggle to:
- make enough energy
- manage oxidative stress
- repair tissue effectively
- maintain stable nerve and brain signaling
The James Clinic take: chronic symptoms are often a metabolic signaling problem
Peripheral neuropathy is a perfect example. It’s often labeled “nerve damage,” but a growing body of mechanistic evidence supports a broader view: neuropathy can reflect metabolic failure, impaired insulin signaling, mitochondrial dysfunction, and disrupted cellular energy utilization, not just irreversible nerve cell death.
Neurons are energy-hungry. They rely on continuous ATP to maintain conduction and repair. When mitochondrial ATP production drops, regeneration and signaling suffer.
What is the Mitochondrial Reboot Protocol?
Our protocol is built around a structured micro-dose infusion approach designed to support:
- intracellular glucose utilization
- mitochondrial energy production
- microcirculatory support
- physiologic metabolic signaling restoration
This isn’t about “forcing” numbers. It’s about helping your body re-engage the signals that drive normal metabolism.
Why micro-bursts matter
In published research, normal pancreatic insulin secretion occurs in bursts every 4–6 minutes, creating a rhythmic metabolic signal that supports healthy fuel processing.
The MDI model describes this as restoring the body’s metabolic “language” by recreating physiologic signaling patterns.
Who is this for?
This protocol may be a fit for people whose symptoms are driven by systemic energy and signaling dysfunction rather than isolated structural injury, including:
- prediabetes, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome
- peripheral neuropathy (including diabetic or chemotherapy-associated)
- fatigue and low recovery capacity
- vascular and microcirculatory issues
- cognitive decline patterns where metabolic resilience is part of the picture
Important: Eligibility is determined by your clinician based on your history, labs, and current therapies.
What results are possible?
In outcomes described within the MDI materials and analyses referenced in the white paper:
- ~94% of neuropathy patients showed measurable improvement or symptom reversal in an MDI-based program
- Objective neurological measures showed an average 65% improvement in nerve conduction velocity
- A subset achieved complete return to normal neurological function within three months (reported in the same referenced outcomes)
How we present this at James Clinic: we don’t promise cures. We track function, symptoms, and objective markers over time, and we adjust intelligently based on your response.
Why we also care about protein and structural repair
Recovery isn’t just “less inflammation.” Nerves and muscles need rebuilding materials. The white paper highlights that amino acids support myelin repair, neurotransmitter synthesis, and muscle-nerve reconnection, and that improved metabolic signaling may improve utilization of nutrition and infused amino acids.
Translation: we don’t run this as a stand-alone “IV and goodbye.” We run it as a repair program.
What the process looks like
1) Intake + candidacy review
We review your history, goals, current meds/supplements, and relevant labs.
2) Protocol design
Your clinician determines the appropriate plan and monitoring strategy.
3) Guided sessions + tracking
We monitor symptom trends (energy, neuropathy symptoms, cognition, recovery), and adjust as needed.
4) Maintenance (if needed)
Some patients transition to a less frequent maintenance rhythm depending on goals and response.

Safety and clinical framing
MDI materials describe long-term use and emphasize safety reporting history; however, your care at James Clinic is always individualized, clinically supervised, and based on your full risk profile and comorbidities.
Our stance: this is a metabolic restoration strategy, not a cure, and outcomes vary.
FAQ
No. Metabolic signaling dysfunction can show up long before diabetes, and neuropathy and energy failure patterns can exist even when glucose looks “fine.”
Some people report early shifts during initial sessions; others improve gradually over weeks.
We coordinate with your current care plan and tailor timing and monitoring. We recommend a full mitochondrial support program between treatments for optimal outcomes.
No. We practice medicine, not magic. We do, however, track outcomes tightly and adjust intelligently.
