Now in paperback, a deep dive into the underlying cellular cause of chronic fatigue, burnout, and brain fog, with a framework for restoring cognitive function, alertness, and an abundance of energy.

Chronic fatigue, burnout, brain fog—no matter what we call it, our constant feeling of being drained affects all that we hold dear. But the real cause of our fatigue doesn't lie in our preconceived notions of caffeine intake or adrenal fatigue. Instead, the core underlying cause lies in our cells, specifically in the cellular energy generators called our mitochondria.

Ari Whitten, M.S., functional health practitioner and founder of The Energy Blueprint, takes a deep dive into our cellular energy centers and the holistic workings of our body systems and provides the clear nutritional methodologies and specific foods, supplements, and compounds you can use to:

  • Reclaim your youthful energy levels
  • Get better sleep
  • Improve your resilience to stress
  • Reverse insulin resistance and stabilize your blood sugar levels
  • Lose excess weight
  • Improve your mood and brain performance

Get your body out of defense mode and into a state of optimal performance.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to implement changes to get more energy
Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2022
Verified Purchase
For all of us who suffer from fatigue, Ari Whitten and Alex Leaf have written a book with a wealth of interesting information, both about the possible causes of our suffering and advice on how to remedy the situation. By adding (or changing) a few things to your meals, your energy will gradually improve, they claim. And the items you must add are not some exotic or hard-to-find stuff, but groceries you probably already have in your pantry.
To make the transition easier for you – and your body – to adapt to the new regimen, there are action lists at the end of the chapters to help you implement the changes step-by-step.
The chapters that I found most relevant to me are chapter 4 about rebuilding gut health and chapter 5 about balancing blood sugar. So far, I have only changed my breakfast habits, but I have already found that I am less tired after trying it for a few weeks.

5.0 out of 5 stars Gets right to the point.
Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2022
Verified Purchase
So many other books on energy optimization waste the readers time with endless useless information about the credentials of the author or some other nonsense and it becomes another task just to get to the meat of the book. Not this one. Right from page one there are real options to take to get your sleep and energy back on track with gradual self regulated steps. Real information and the science to back it up right there for you to follow one step at a time.

I’ve followed Ari’s course on the Energy Blueprint over the last year and had phenomenal results. But this book adds more tools to my toolbox and does so in a clear, straightforward way. But be clear when you read it it’s not a magic wand. YOU have to take responsibility for taking the steps yourself. There are no shortcuts here, but if you are willing to make small incremental steps to sleeping better and having real sustainable energy this is the book for you.

Thank you Ari.

5.0 out of 5 stars Incredibly Evidenced Based!! Over 1000 studies in footnotes
Reviewed in the United States on May 14, 2022
Verified Purchase
As a nurse practitioner with a special interest in nutrition, I was skeptical about the research behind this book. I was very glad to discover multiple large scale studies behind the main points in this book. Fabulous distillation of complex studies into application for the every day person.

I think this book helps cut through the overwhelming tsunami of conflicting media over dietary strategies to drill down for essentials - ways to build into your life what you need to have energy, fuel your body appropriately, lose excess body fat and strengthen mental health.

It is worth the money. I am glad I bought it, have bookmarked it and am ordering supplements that were recommended after reading the studies in the footnotes. Its the only non-textbook I have ever gotten where the footnotes/ citations section almost equaled the amount of text.

Dr. Lori Rose, the founder of the Holistic Wellness Program at Hill College, first introduced me to Ari Whitten's podcasts in 2018. I have been following him ever since! I am a 10-year lung cancer survivor and have implemented his recommendations for improving my mitochondria. After 5 years of chemo, my mitochondria were shot! I have lost the brain fog, continue to improve my physical stamina, and continue to live with cancer in remission. His research on the effects of cellular stress and lack of sleep has made the most significant impact on my life and that of my clients. As a certified health coach, I especially like the Action List at the end of each chapter!

There is a lot of information in this book. I listened all the way through and read the PDF. However, I don't feel this diet is for me. I went through a program to help me shed weight and increase my energy. This book doesn't follow what I learned and works for me. Eating more protein for me wouldn't be good. There were other parts where my intuition was active which for me tells me to look deeper.
