Summary
In this special "Asprey Archive" episode of The Human Upgrade, you’ll find out why you’re tired, how to fix it and ways to increase your energy. Fatigue is a hidden epidemic, with chronic fatigue syndrome being the most severe end, but most people (in the U.S.) are experiencing some level of being flat-out tired as hell.
Our guest is Ari Whitten, Ph.D. (Cand.), CES, PES, who came on the show in 2022. Ari argues that as a culture, we have normalized fatigue. In his book, “EAT FOR ENERGY: How to Beat Fatigue, Supercharge Your Mitochondria, and Unlock All-Day Energy,” he explains that 5.4 million adults in the U.S. have been diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome (the most severe case of fatigue). However, the true fatigue epidemic affects 50 to 100 times more people.
Ari outlines the major factors impacting mitochondrial health, including poor sleep, excess body fat, and an unhealthy gut, and offers solutions like nutritional strategies and key supplements to enhance energy. With over 25 years in natural health science and a personal history with chronic fatigue, Ari brings invaluable insights into combating fatigue through his Energy Blueprint programs and podcast, where he connects with experts on revitalizing human energy.

| 0:11.0 | You're listening to the human upgrade with Dave Asprey. Today we're going to talk about one of my favorite topics. |
| 0:20.0 | It's about energy because there is a hidden epidemic of fatigue, which is the word I actually don't like because I don't know fatigue is one of those like kind of wars like, I'm feeling fatigued. |
| 0:35.0 | But really, what we're talking about is you are straight up tired, you have nothing left in the tank, |
| 0:40.9 | and this is how I pretty much lived my life until I was 30 and I really figured out the biohacking things. |
| 0:46.0 | And chronic fatigue syndrome is where I was which is the worst end of that. |
| 0:52.7 | And studies are actually showing now |
| 0:54.7 | that most people in the US have some level of just |
| 0:57.0 | feeling tired as hell. |
| 0:59.4 | The way I like to describe it is, you're driving, |
| 1:02.1 | you have the accelerator all the way to the floor you can |
| 1:04.8 | push harder but it's not going to do anything and the car is going slower and slower |
| 1:08.4 | and there's just nothing you can do it's not willpower it It's something else. So you're going to learn something about what's causing dysfunction in your mitochondria and how you can repair these and you're going to learn about strategies that absolutely double your energy levels, things |
| 1:26.1 | that are mitochondrial based. |
| 1:27.6 | This is my favorite aspect of energy and something that changed my life when I learned about |
| 1:31.4 | mitochondria in 1997 and started working on my own. |
| 1:36.4 | And we're going to learn from Ari Witton, who's been studying and teaching Natural Health |
| 1:40.8 | Science for about 25 years, who also had chronic fatigue like I did and he spent |
| 1:47.2 | the last seven years working on human energy so we're going to go through what he's learned |
| 1:51.5 | about mitochondria we're going to compare it to what I know aboutria. We're going to have like a |
