Ever Wondered How to Combat Chronic Fatigue?
In the latest episode of Dr. Jocker’s Functional Nutrition Podcast, we bring you a deep dive into the world of mitochondrial health with Ari Witten, founder of the Energy Blueprint. If you’ve been struggling with low energy levels or chronic fatigue, this episode is a must-listen.
Mitochondria: The Powerhouses of Your Cells
Ari Witten explains how mitochondria, the tiny power plants in our cells, play a crucial role in energy production. He discusses how modern lifestyles, with their lack of stressors and poor habits, can lead to mitochondrial dysfunction. This dysfunction is a key contributor to chronic fatigue and poor brain health.
The Benefits of Ancestral Stressors
Learn how incorporating ancestral stressors like vigorous exercise, temperature variations, and intermittent fasting can transform your energy levels. Ari emphasizes the importance of these practices in enhancing mitochondrial performance and overall well-being.
Plant Compounds: Nature’s Secret Boosters
Ari also sheds light on the role of plant compounds, or phytochemicals, as beneficial stressors that improve our internal antioxidant systems. Discover how a diet rich in diverse plant-based foods can support your mitochondrial health and sustain energy and vitality.
