Summary

Your mitochondria are known as the powerhouses of a cell for a reason. Their job is to power nearly every function and biochemical process that happens in your body. With a lot of tasks to perform, it’s important to keep your mitochondria healthy. Ari Whitten—author of Eat for Energy: How to Beat Fatigue, Supercharge Your Mitochondria, and Unlock All-Day Energy—provides nutrition and lifestyle strategies that can be a gamechanger for improving your mitochondrial function and enhancing your energy, focus, mood, and memory. Tune in to the podcast to hear our discussion.

0:58.2	Ari introduced a concept that is far different than most of what you'll hear, I believe,
1:02.9	anyway, in functional medicine chatter regarding mitochondria.
1:07.5	He discusses that mitochondrial dysfunction is often a reaction, a protective
1:14.9	reaction known as a cellular defense response. And he did an excellent job helping us to better
1:22.2	appreciate that we should be careful about trying to quantify mitochondrial dysfunction or get too swept up
1:29.8	in assessing and or supporting mitochondrial function because, again, a lot of this dysfunction,
1:38.7	the symptoms that we'll see mainly of fatigue are a byproduct of the fact that the body is shutting down energy production
1:46.6	as a protective response. And so we want to intervene upstream so as to allow the body
1:54.0	to shut off this defense response and therefore allow the mitochondria to produce the appropriate level of energy that it should,
2:04.5	or they should.
2:06.1	We also discuss some of the limitations with adrenal testing, and already made a fantastic point
2:14.7	that I was not aware of fully that many adrenal supports actually also
