In this video, Dave Morrow breaks down the real reason veterans are so exhausted: your mitochondria — the powerhouses that turn food into energy — aren't firing at full capacity. And three hidden culprits from service keep them running in the background, draining you every single day.
THE DEADLY THREE
🔬 Toxic exposure — burn pits and heavy metals that disrupt your cells
🧠 Mild traumatic brain injury — chronic stress that never shuts off
🦠 Parasites — far more common in deployed vets than most realize
Most doctors treat the symptoms (pills for depression, sleep, blood pressure) without ever finding the root cause. If you don't test, you're just guessing.
USE THIS SCRIPT WITH YOUR DOCTOR:
"I have [symptoms]. I had [exposure]. I'd like a [specific test name]."
You're not broken. You're under-recovered — and you can fix it.
