In this special "Asprey Archive" episode of The Human Upgrade, you’ll find out why you’re tired, how to fix it and ways to increase your energy. Fatigue is a hidden epidemic, with chronic fatigue syndrome being the most severe end, but most people (in the U.S.) are experiencing some level of being flat-out tired as hell.Our guest is Ari Whitten, Ph.D. (Cand.), CES, PES, who came on the show in 2022. Ari argues that as a culture, we have normalized fatigue. In his book, “EAT FOR ENERGY: How to Beat Fatigue, Supercharge Your Mitochondria, and Unlock All-Day Energy,” he 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.Ari outlines the major factors impacting mitochondrial health, including poor sleep, excess body fat, and an unhealthy gut, and offers solutions like nutritional strategies and key supplements to enhance energy. With over 25 years in natural health science and a personal history with chronic fatigue, Ari brings invaluable insights into combating fatigue through his Energy Blueprint programs and podcast, where he connects with experts on revitalizing human energy.Sponsors:Pendulum | Get 20% off membership at https://pendulumlife.com with code Asprey20 ARMRA | Go to https://www.TryARMRA.com and use code Dave for 15% off Resources:Ari's book: FOR ENERGY: How to Beat Fatigue, Supercharge Your Mitochondria, and Unlock All-Day EnergyDave Asprey’s Book ‘Smarter Not Harder’ is out now: https://daveasprey.com/books Follow Dave on Instagram: @Dave.Asprey Follow The Human Upgrade: @TheHumanUpgradePodcast Want to join The Human Upgrade Podcast Live?

In this special Asprey Archive episode you’ll learn that while yes, testosterone fuels energy and performance, it’s not the be-all and end-all solution for men’s health woes. A systems biology approach considers many other aspects and provides a broader perspective about what’s going on with you.This conversation features board-certified urologist Tracy Gapin, M.D. He joined us in 2022 for this episode to discuss new ways for men to improve their health and performance. He uses epigenetic coaching, hormones, peptide therapy, biometric monitoring, and unique nutrition and lifestyle interventions.In his book, “Male 2.0™: Cracking the Code to Limitless Health and Vitality,” he says medical school, residency training and even a two-decade career in urology and surgery specialties didn’t teach him how to get to root causes of men’s issues and solve them. He had a health crash of his own at 42. Since neither he nor his doctor had good answers, he went on a quest of discovery and change. He founded the Gapin Institute for High Performance Medicine and created the proprietary N1 Performance Health Program to go beyond conventional options.This conversation goes even further into what creates epigenetic signals that affect the function and expression of your genes. You’ll learn, too, that your mindset, stress and environment—and how you do or don’t control those things—have everything to do with your energy and focus. If you’re aiming for higher performance, Dr. Tracy suggests a trifecta that makes sleep a priority, builds resilience to stress, and creates consistent behaviors with intention.Sponsors:EnVy | Go to https://www.envypillow.com/ and use code DAVE10 at checkout for an exclusive discount.Resources:Dave Asprey’s Book ‘Smarter Not Harder’ is out now: https://daveasprey.com/books Website: Gapin Institute for High Performance MedicineInstagram: @DrTracyGapinInstagram: @Dave.AspreyYouTube: @DaveAspreyBPRSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
