Ari Whitten | The Magic of Melatonin For Mitochondria Health, Overcoming Chronic Fatigue For Good & More! KKP: 641

Today, I am blessed to have here with me the Founder of The Energy Blueprint, Ari Whitten. He is an energy and fatigue specialist who focuses on taking an evidence-based approach to energy enhancement, a nutrition, exercise, and natural health expert, and a #1 best-selling author. He has been studying nutrition and holistic health for over two decades. He has a Bachelor of Science from San Diego State University in Kinesiology (specializing in fitness, nutrition, and health). He also has a background in exercise physiology and fitness and holds two advanced certifications from the National Academy of Sports Medicine as a Corrective Exercise Specialist and Performance Enhancement Specialist. In addition, he recently completed the three years of coursework for his Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology, an education which rounds out all aspects – nutrition, fitness, and psychology – of his approach to optimal health. Ari is a tireless researcher who has obsessively devoted the last 20 years of his life to the pursuit of being on the cutting edge of the science of health and energy enhancement. For the last six years, he’s been working with many of the top scientists and physicians on the planet to develop the most comprehensive program in the world on the science of overcoming fatigue and increasing energy — The Energy Blueprint. In this episode, Ari first speaks about his Epstein Barr Virus diagnosis and how that took him down a rabbit hole of energy optimization. One way to improve chronic fatigue is by growing more mitochondria; Ari explains how this is possible. Then, Ari dives into melatonin and tips for fixing a circadian rhythm disruption. Tune in as we chat about the importance of hormetic stressors, Eat For Energy, and Ari’s products from The Energy Blueprint.

[00:45] Ari Speaks About Epstein Barr Virus and His Obsession With Energy Optimization Ari has been studying health science his whole life. Unfortunately, Ari got very sick with Epstein Barr Virus and mononucleosis in his mid-twenties. He lost about thirty-five pounds in the span of a month; he couldn’t eat because the back of his throat was so swollen. Ari was left with chronic fatigue; it shifted his entire life. So, Ari started to focus on the world of energy optimization; he became obsessed with energy science. Conventional medical doctors had no information to offer Ari. After doing research, Ari found that science actually does not support the idea that adrenal fatigue is a significant cause of chronic fatigue. Well, Ari realized that no one truly understands what is causing fatigue. [08:45] The Key To Overcoming Fatigue Is Growing More Mitochondria Finding ways to grow more mitochondria and strengthen your mitochondria is a massive key to the puzzle of overcoming fatigue. The mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell. We are taught to think of mitochondria as these mindless energy generators. Something you may not know is the mitochondria have a dual role beyond energy production, which is just as important as their role in energy production. The mitochondria also help with energy regulation. Your energy levels are a function of the degree to which your mitochondria decide if you’re safe or if you’re under attack. [17:50] Hormetic Stressors Will Make Your Mitochondria Bigger and Stronger Hormetic stress is how a transient metabolic stressor works to stimulate beneficial adaptations that ultimately increase resilience and resistance in the face of a broad range of other stressors. Basically, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. By exposing yourself to moderate stressors within your body's capacity, you make your body more robust and more resistant. Hormetic stressors are vital for challenging our mitochondria and stimulating them in a way that makes them bigger and stronger. [27:30] Is Your Body Under Attack? Your Brain Will Create Sickness Behavior When cells are under attack, they shift all their resources to defense mode. Cells will go into defense mode to protect themselves. They also go into defense mode as an evolutionary adaptive mechanism to help the body’s energy and resources be redirected towards defending against the threat. When we have lots of immune activation and elevated levels of inflammatory cytokines, the brain responds by also creating sickness behavior, which includes fatigue. When your brain creates sickness behavior, it protects you from over-expending energy and depleting resources. [42:40] The Importance of Melatonin: What You Need To Know You get 50 to 70 percent suppression of melatonin secretion by the brain in the evenings due to simply being in a typical home under standard indoor home lighting. Melatonin is a vital hormone for protecting your mitochondria and protecting your brain’s neurons. If you're chronically suppressing melatonin at the cellular level, you will have chronic melatonin deficiency. Sadly, melatonin doesn’t get the respect that it deserves. [1:05:15] Ari Is Hypersensitive To Melatonin Supplements - Are You? Ari is hypersensitive to melatonin if he takes it in supplement form. After polling his audience, about 25% of people are sensitive to melatonin. People who take melatonin for a significant time will sleep poorly after coming off of it. It will take people a few days for sleep to normalize without taking melatonin. AND MUCH MORE!
