Chronic Fatigue? Charge Your Secret Body “Battery”!

With winter right around the corner, there’s no better time to talk about a fascinating way to keep your body energized and resilient—by tapping into a hidden superpower within your own fascia!

Inside of our fascia, we have a specialized water called the extracellular matrix (ECM). See the little beads of water on the fascial fibers below? That's our extracellular fluid.

This water is “structured” (also called EZ water): a special type of water that forms in your cells that is not quite a liquid or solid–think a raw egg white or gel-type consistency. It naturally pushes out impurities and delivers power to your mitochondria (which provide energy, influence recovery, and fight stress). Unlike regular water, which has a neutral charge, our extracellular fluid has a negative charge, making it like a natural battery. The more electrons you add to this water, the more it fuels your energy, helping you feel vibrant, strong, and ready for whatever winter throws your way.

So, How Can We Supercharge This Water in Winter?

1. Soak Up the Power of Red Light (or Sunlight!) :

Red light therapy, or simply getting some direct natural sunlight whenever possible (no sunscreen), is one of the best ways to “charge up” this structured water in your fascia. When we expose our body to infrared light, the water inside our cells absorbs the energy–creating a more negative charge and storing extra energy. Essentially, red light powers your body up like a battery! Benefits include increased cellular energy, a noticeable reduction in inflammation, and faster recovery. Even just 15 minutes under red light can make a big difference in how energized you feel.

2. Grounding (Yes, Even Indoors!) :

In the summer, we’d walk barefoot on the beach or the grass, soaking up those healing, negative electrons from the earth. But in winter? You can still connect with that grounding energy by using a grounding mat indoors. It’s an easy way to absorb those free electrons, helping “charge” the structured water in your fascia and significantly reduce inflammation. It’s like plugging your body into the Earth’s energy source! My personal recommendation? The Ground Therapy Universal Mat.

What’s the Big Benefit?

When you boost the charge in your body’s structured water, you’re not just “hydrating”—you’re fueling yourself with deep, cellular-level energy. This keeps you moving, keeps inflammation low, and helps you feel lighter and more alive through the darker days.

Give your body the power it needs to thrive, no matter the season! 

• How is fascia connected to chronic fatigue and low energy?

  Fascia plays a key role in energy production because it contains the extracellular matrix, a structured, negatively charged form of water that supports cellular function. When fascia becomes dehydrated or restricted, this system becomes less efficient, which may contribute to feelings of fatigue, low resilience, and slower recovery.

• What is structured water (EZ water) and why does it matter for energy?

  Structured water, also known as EZ (exclusion zone) water, is a gel-like form of water found in the extracellular matrix of fascia. Unlike regular water, it holds a negative charge and helps deliver energy to the mitochondria. This makes it an important contributor to cellular energy, inflammation regulation, and overall vitality.

• Can fascia health affect mitochondrial function and recovery?

  Yes. The extracellular matrix within fascia plays a role in supporting mitochondrial activity by delivering energy and facilitating communication at the cellular level. When fascia is well-hydrated and responsive, mitochondria function more efficiently, which can improve recovery, stress resilience, and energy levels.

• How do red light therapy and sunlight support fascia and energy?

  Red and infrared light help “charge” structured water in fascia by increasing its negative charge. This added energy supports cellular function, reduces inflammation, and improves recovery. Even short, consistent exposure to sunlight or red light therapy can positively influence fascia health and overall energy.

• Does grounding really help reduce fatigue and inflammation?

  Grounding can help reduce fatigue and inflammation by supplying the body with free electrons from the Earth. These electrons support the negative charge of structured water in fascia, helping improve cellular efficiency and reduce inflammatory load. Grounding mats provide an accessible option during colder months.
