Welcome to Your Peak Energy
I’m Mary Jo Campbell, the heart behind Your Peak Energy, where every snack I make is a step towards optimal health. My journey in the kitchen began as the 5th of 10 children, helping mom bake and prepare meals. A college job as a cook in a European-inspired restaurant, coupled with training in a commercial bakery gave me additional skills for today’s business. I draw from these experiences to create high-energy foods that not only fuel the body but nourish the soul. Bored with the same old recipes? Then you’ll love what I cook up in the kitchen! The options are always changing. If you could benefit from more energy for your active lifestyle, that’s what I’m about – Your Peak Energy!
Baked Goods
At Your Peak Energy, I specialize in crafting gluten-free baked goods that are as delicious as they are nourishing. My products range from energy bars and vitamin-rich muffins to low-sugar breads and cookies — all designed to boost your stamina and health. The secret? Ingredients straight from our garden! Whether it’s organic apples or homegrown carrots & beets, my farm-to-table approach ensures you’re eating the freshest, most nutrient-dense foods. Perfect for athletes, health enthusiasts, or anyone in need of a tasty energy boost.
Biohacking
Biohacking is an emerging practice aimed at optimizing health by manipulating the body’s natural processes through scientific and nutritional interventions. It centers around the concept of Nutrigenomics, which studies the impact of nutrients and natural compounds on our genes. A significant focus for me is on increasing longevity and cognitive health. Dementia is rampant in my family history, so I pay close attention to issues like oxidative stress and mitochondrial decline. For instance, Protandim, a product trio from LifeVantage (a company I joined in 2014), uses Nrf2 and Nrf1 pathway activators to boost the body’s natural ability to combat aging at the cellular level.
Protandim Nrf2 has been found to reduce oxidative stress significantly and Protandim Nrf1 increases the production of mitochondria, enhancing the body’s own energy levels. Protandim NAD supports the removal of cellular waste (autophagy) by activating sirtuins. Sirtuins deliver whole-body benefits, such as support for joint health, a healthy vascular system, and more. Good stuff, right??? With all-natural, non-GMO ingredients, these activators (not supplements) offer a proactive approach to maintaining health and vitality, promoting the body’s ability to detoxify and rejuvenate itself effectively.
My Journey
If you’d like to learn more about how I got here, I invite you to follow my blog, where I share my battle with a rare cancer in 2006, a few adventures while scaling 14,000-foot peaks, gardening tips, and a rare opportunity to compete at the World level in obstacle racing! My stories are as diverse as they are inspiring. Often called the “energizer bunny,” I don’t just live life; I squeeze every ounce of vitality out of it, whether I’m whipping up my famous Basil Pesto, doing a 26 day detox, or sharing the gritty details of my treatments. This blog is a gathering place for those who love to garden, cook, and embrace the great outdoors. It’s also a haven for anyone navigating their own health challenges, in search of encouragement or a good laugh. Join me as I document the memorable, the chaotic, and everything in between.
