Summary

IN THIS “BEST OF” EPISODE OF THE HUMAN UPGRADE™…

… Ari Whitten, Ph.D. (Cand.), CES, PES, explains how to double your energy through improved resilience, cell defense, nutrition and supplementation.  

In his newest book, “EAT FOR ENERGY: How to Beat Fatigue, Supercharge Your Mitochondria, and Unlock All-Day Energy,” Ari 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 with many experiencing some level of being flat-out tired as hell.

This conversation gets right into the role of mitochondria in human energy. The cause of fatigue is mitochondrial dysfunction, Ari says. The biggest factors that affect your mitochondria include:

  • Circadian rhythm dysregulation and poor sleep 
  • Carrying too much body fat and too little muscle mass 
  • Poor gut and microbiome health 
  • Blood sugar dysregulation 
  • Nutritional toxicities and deficiencies 
  • Neurotransmitter and hormone imbalances

 

Ari recommends science-backed ways that you can get your mitochondria moving, dial in your nutrition and upgrade your brain, gut and hormones.
