Mitochondrial Optimization, Circadian Rhythm, Light & Melatonin with Ari Whitten

Mitochondrial Optimization, Circadian Rhythm, Light & Melatonin with Ari Whitten

Today's episode is sponsored by Paleovalley Bone Broth Protein. When it comes to gut health, bone broth is one of my go-to items in my diet. But, not all collagen is created equally. Many brands use poor-quality bones and heating methods that remove all of the potent benefits of collagen. That is why I choose to use Paleovalley Bone Broth Protein Powder. You can get all the gut-healing benefits, without the mess, from a company that uses only 100% grass-fed and finished cows and without processing with high heat or extracting with harmful chemicals. There are no fillers, flow agents, or added flavors. There is only ONE ingredient in this product and its bovine bone broth protein. That's it. And you can get 15% off today using the code "jockers" or by clicking here: Paleovalley.com/jockers

 

Today's episode is also sponsored by LMNT, my go-to electrolyte drink mix that I recommend to anyone who wants to stay hydrated.  Everyone needs electrolytes to function and when you sweat, adopt a low-carb diet, or practice intermittent fasting, your electrolyte needs increase. If electrolytes aren't replaced, it's common to experience headaches, muscle cramps, and fatigue. LMNT replaces these essential electrolytes with NO sugar, NO coloring, NO artificial ingredients, or any other junk. And it tastes absolutely delicious! I really love all of their flavors, but my favorite is raspberry. As a member of our community, you can claim a free LMNT Sample Pack - you only cover the cost of shipping.

If you find yourself easily worn out and tired, it's about time you start digging deep into the cause. There may be underlying factors that could be signs of more serious conditions you need to address. Dr. Jockers is joined by Ari Whitten in today's episode to talk about the controversial adrenal fatigue and to prove if it exists or not. He shares valuable information about the major function of the mitochondria in boosting and depleting your body's energy levels. He also talks about the practices, lifestyles, and habits that need to be in place to fix inflammations in the body, clean out the junk that is causing low energy, and promote rebuilding and regenerating.

 

"Your body is designed to specifically suppress energy levels in the context of those danger signals being present so that more of your overall body's resources can go to fending off the dangers."
