Your health and energy levels are at stake in any relationship, and you need to learn how to mitigate the effects of toxic ones on your personal life.
In this podcast, I speak with Dr. Christiane Northrup, a board-certified OB/GYN physician and leading authority in the field of women's health and wellness. She is also a New York Times best-selling author and has written the book Dodging Energy Vampires. Listen in to get expert advice on how to avoid negativity, toxicity, and narcissism from others.
For this episode, Dr. Northrup shares her intimate knowledge on how you can identify and dodge the energy vampires in your personal life and eliminate the stress they cause you. You will be amazed at the potential impact the simple tools she recommends may have on your energy levels.

| 0:00.0 | Hey there, this is Ari. Welcome back to the Energy Blueprint Podcast. Before we get into today's show, |
| 0:05.1 | I have an incredibly important announcement. This is something that I really haven't been more |
| 0:10.0 | excited to announce than all the way back in 2014 when I first started the Energy Blueprint. |
| 0:15.6 | After well over a year of development and testing, we are finally ready to officially launch our breakthrough |
| 0:23.7 | mitochondrial supplement to the world. This is a genuine game changer in the area of human |
| 0:29.5 | energy enhancement. And it's called Energenesis. This is actually the first no stimulant, no caffeine, |
| 0:36.2 | and no sugar energy formula that actually builds up |
| 0:40.4 | your own body's capacity to produce energy. Instead of working like caffeine and stimulants by giving |
| 0:46.4 | you a temporary boost of energy for a few hours, but ultimately making your energy levels |
| 0:50.9 | worse over time, energenesis actually builds up your own body's ability, |
| 0:56.0 | your cellular capacity to produce energy. Energenesis is for people looking for real answers |
| 1:02.1 | who want to address root causes, who want to build real energy. So hopefully you've been following |
| 1:07.8 | my work for a while now. And if so, you know that the real root of |
| 1:11.1 | most energy issues almost always comes back to the mitochondria. That's why mitochondria is such a central |
| 1:17.0 | fixture of so, so many of the podcasts that I've done on this show and so much of my own work as well |
| 1:24.3 | as far as the videos and the articles that I've put out into the world. Now, there's two really important layers to this story. I'm really simplifying a vast amount |
| 1:32.2 | of science here into something that's a fairly simple model, but trying to be succinct. The two |
| 1:37.1 | important layers of this, for most people, from the age of 20 to 40, their mitochondrial capacity, |
| 1:43.6 | the ability of their cells to produce energy, |
| 1:45.6 | decreases by about half. And then from 40 to 70, it decreases by another half. So, in other |
| 1:51.8 | words, from the ages of 20 to 70, the research shows that most people lose about 75% of their |
| 1:59.1 | mitochondrial capacity. So just that in and of itself is a massive problem. But there's |
