Does Adrenal Fatigue Really Exist? with Dr. Anna Cabeca and Ari Whitten

<p>Red light therapy is the energy hack we need to support our mitochondria and re-energize our bodies. Ari Whitten goes into the science of the Energy Blueprint system and breaks down the myths around adrenal fatigue. Learn how we can repair our cells, increase our energy, and reduce inflammation with light therapy and by working with our body’s natural hormonal and circadian rhythms.</p> <ul> <li>[0:50] Ari Whitten has done his PhD work on energy, is the host of the Energy Blueprint Podcast, and the author of the Energy Blueprint System. He’s on the cutting edge of science when it comes to energy.</li> <li>[2:40] Health science has been Ari’s passion since the age of 12 when he was into fitness and exercise, but he differed from traditional bodybuilders in their pursuit of muscle mass at any cost.</li> <li>[6:15] Ari was always fit and healthy until his early 20’s when he was diagnosed with Epstein-Barr Virus and was floored for over a year with chronic fatigue. That experience became the seed of his fascination with the body’s energy systems, how they work, and how to optimize them.</li> <li>[8:50] He got so deep into natural and alternative medicine in his effort to treat his adrenal fatigue, that he became very frustrated with traditional medicine’s treatment of the condition. He started his research into the condition and found that there were almost no studies on adrenal fatigue in existence.</li> <li>[10:20] Chronic fatigue syndrome is the wastebasket diagnosis of the conventional medical world. The condition of adrenal fatigue is relatively unknown and unexplored and a catchall term for when the root issue is unknown.</li> <li>[11:25] Ari spent a year researching the topic and found a number of adjacent conditions. He was hoping to find a connection between cortisol and fatigue, but the evidence was pointing in the opposite direction. This put Ari on a quest to understand what is really going on within the energy systems of the body and the proper way to optimize them.</li> <li>[13:55] It turns out that
