You can get Q10 from eating organ meat, so if your a big liver eater or maybe heart eater than it could increase your q10 levels??

I have high levels and did not supplement at the time. The NutrEval Support Guide says the only non-supplemental reason is hypothyroidism. I would add "that they know of," of course, as my own case shows. My thyroid levels are in the lower portion of laboratory range, but they are in range.
I believe it is the body's response to oxidative stress. CoQ10 is the only liposoluable antioxidant we synthesize. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3257126/
Makes sense to me, if you have high oxidative stress due to whatever (including NO/ONOO we both probably share), the body will produce high levels of defenses. There are many sources of oxidative stress.

I don’t eat organ meat. I’m going to say it’s been shut out of the cells and is circulating in blood. Now how to get it IN cells? 🤔

I'm at a loss, although you can get certain nutrients tested inside the cell like Q10 but I don't think the test is cheap though.
Purely of the top of my head, I'd look at other ATP/mito cofactors like methyl B vitamins, Creatine, l carnitine, ribose etc. Next I'd try low dose Q10 multiple times a day eg 50mg say 6 times a day with a fishoil oil tab to help absorption. Fish oil can also help the cell membranes allow nutrients cross them into the cell. Maybe start taking desiccated liver tablets with Q10 to make sure they have the cofactors needed by Q10. But that's Purely off the top of my head though.
Good luck👍
