Methods using cannabinoids and/or molecular similars for modulating, waking-up and/or disabling cellular functions involved in causing disease are provided for reinvigorating metabolism, including human metabolism. As humans age stresses they encounter cause their cells to respond opportunistically to counter each stress. Each of these responses involves at least minor shifts or compromises in metabolism. As these metabolic compromises multiply, metabolism continues to deviate from its optimum. Several lipophilic compounds are active in membranes of cells, including the plasma membrane, nuclear membrane, endoplasmic reticulum membrane and mitochondrial membrane. These lipophilic compounds, act with cannabinoid receptors to affect virtually all cell functions. By choosing specific endocannabinoids and/or analogues and targeting them at opportunistically deteriorated portions of metabolism through one of several specific endocannabinoid receptor proteins in a stepwise manner metabolism can be reinvigorated towards its optimal status.
