5 Amazing Health Benefits of MCT Oil
Alicia Soto

MCT oil, meaning medium chain triglycerides, is a supplement composed by taking the MCT fat from coconut oil and palm oil. These MCTs easily absorb, making them easy to digest and providing an immediate source of energy for the body. In addition to some of the MCT oil weight loss properties, check out some of its other benefits below and see for yourself what these MCTs can do:

Decreases Appetite/Reduces Body Fat

Although it is made from fat, MCT has been proven to do the exact opposite for your body. MCT releases hormones that promote feelings of fullness (satiation), which tends to decrease your appetite. So instead of dipping your hand in a bag of chips after lunch, your stomach will be satisfied for at least a couple more hours. According to a recent University of Virginia study, MTCs also help reduce body size, including hips, waist, and circumference.

Helps with Brain Health

When the fat you eat hits your liver, this is when your body creates ketones. The MCTs help with the production of ketones, which can promote brain health. This could impact anything from our memory and learning capacity to our mental illness. It has even been known for treating diseases such as Alzheimer’s. In the end, these ketones are good for not just for your brain, but contribute to your body health and diet.

Keeps you Feeling Energetic

Not only do MCTs give you brain energy, but as stated above, it can directly affect your body energy! A 2018 study showed that MCT had a positive effect on participants, by doubling their exercise endurance under high temperatures. So jump on that treadmill or run around the block because, with that immediate source of energy, the sky’s the limit!

Good for the Heart

Many studies have been done on how MCT lowers cholesterol, blood pressure and helps with a heart healthy diet. A 2018 study shows that MCT oil greatly reduced cholesterol and improved cardiovascular health in rats with type 2 diabetes. Rats, who knew?

Supports a Healthy Gut

Certain MCT oils contain caprylic acid (such as C8 MCTs) to support a healthy gut microbiome. The gut is like the queen of all body health. It can be instrumental in helping us digest our food, boost our immune system, improve our metabolism, and so much more!

Where can I get MCT oil?

Besides picking it up from your local grocery store, you can find MCT oil as an ingredient in the M*L*T formula.

This formula is the most comprehensive transformation solution, helping you achieve your effective body-shaping and health goals, and allowing you to feel physically amazing and empowered at the same time!

Unlock Lasting Energy This Summer (Without Stimulants or Sugar)
You’re doing all the “right” things—getting your sleep, eating well, maybe even skipping that second cup of coffee—but the fatigue still hits hard. So, what gives?

The answer often runs deeper than lifestyle. Your hormones may be the missing piece.

For years, chronic fatigue was dismissed as an inevitable part of aging or a consequence of modern life. But research tells a different story. As early as the 1990s, scientists found that maintaining healthy levels of 

human growth hormone (HGH) could improve energy, muscle tone, and overall vitality [1]. More recent studies confirm that personalized HGH replacement therapy improves sleep quality, energy levels, and overall well-being in adults with deficiencies [6].

And it’s not just HGH. Hormones like cortisol, estrogen, and testosterone help govern your metabolism, sleep, mood, and emotional resilience. When they’re off balance, fatigue becomes more than a nuisance—it becomes a daily struggle.

If you’re already checking all the boxes but still dragging through your day, you’re not imagining things. Often, cortisol—your body’s primary stress hormone—is the root cause. When cortisol stays elevated or falls out of sync with your natural rhythm, it can leave you feeling wired, foggy, or completely wiped out [2].

Even the seasons can affect your energy. Longer daylight hours and warmer temperatures can throw off your circadian rhythm, interfere with sleep, and increase dehydration—all of which drain your stamina [3].

When stress, hormone imbalance, and environmental changes converge, it’s no wonder your energy feels off. But here’s the good news: You can reset your rhythm by nourishing your body at the root level.

Fueling Energy from Within (Not Just from a Cup)

Forget the quick fixes. True, lasting energy begins at the cellular level—in the mitochondria, the energy engines of your body. These tiny powerhouses convert food into ATP (your body’s fuel), but they rely on the right nutrients and hormonal signals to function efficiently.

No amount of caffeine can replace what your cells are missing.

Natural strategies to boost energy at the root:

Get early sunlight Morning sun exposure helps reset your circadian rhythm, promoting alertness by day and deeper sleep at night.

Eat to balance hormones Whole foods, healthy fats, and protein-rich meals help stabilize blood sugar and minimize energy crashes caused by sugar spikes.

Support your stress response Chronic stress flattens your cortisol curve. Practices like breathwork, meditation, and nature exposure help restore healthy rhythm and vitality.

Hydrate more than you think Dehydration is one of the most overlooked causes of fatigue—especially in summer heat.

Move daily—even gently Physical activity boosts circulation, stimulates mitochondrial function, and supports mood. Even a brisk walk can help your body generate more sustainable energy.

These foundational habits are powerful—but sometimes, your body needs targeted support to get back into rhythm.

How Targeted Support Can Help

You’ve laid the foundation with lifestyle shifts. Now it’s time to go deeper—with support that nourishes both your hormones and cellular function. True energy begins within—and SomaDerm and MLT are designed to help you reclaim it.

The Cortisol-HGH Connection
Restorative sleep and balanced energy depend on hormonal harmony. One of the most influential hormones in this equation? Human Growth Hormone (HGH).

As we age, HGH levels naturally decline, disrupting sleep cycles, cellular repair, and hormonal balance—especially cortisol. A landmark study found that after age 50, deep sleep and nighttime growth hormone secretion decline sharply, while evening cortisol levels rise—disrupting circadian rhythm and contributing to fatigue, brain fog, and that familiar 2 p.m. crash [2].

Here’s the link: HGH plays a vital role in regulating cortisol rhythms, helping your body manage stress more efficiently and sustain energy throughout the day [4].

That’s where SomaDerm comes in. This homeopathic, transdermal gel is designed to gently support your body’s natural HGH production. The result? - More balanced cortisol - Deeper, more restorative sleep - Fewer afternoon crashes - Steadier, more sustainable energy
MLT: Mitochondrial Support for Real Stamina
While SomaDerm supports hormonal balance, MLT gets to work on a cellular level. Its blend of L-carnitine, MitoBurn®, and methylcobalamin (B12) helps your body convert fat into usable fuel, while enhancing endurance and post-exercise recovery. Plus, coconut water provides natural electrolytes to support hydration and performance—especially critical during the hot summer months [5].

Together, SomaDerm and MLT offer a holistic, research-backed strategy for real, lasting energy—without relying on stimulants or sugar.

Confidence Through Consistency

When your hormones are in sync and your energy is steady, everything changes.

You show up clearer, calmer, and more grounded. You’re no longer just getting through the day—you’re fully living it. Whether it’s work, family time, or simply showing up for yourself, you move with confidence and presence.

This summer, skip the second coffee. Instead, choose a reset that helps you feel your best—from the inside out.

You don’t need another caffeine boost. You need a reset.
