Ari Whitten explains how mitochondria, body composition, and insulin resistance shape energy, aging, and type 2 diabetes reversal.

Ari Whitten, founder of The Energy Blueprint, breaks down how mitochondrial health, body composition, and insulin resistance intersect to fuel or drain our energy. He explains why excess fat and low muscle mass create insulin resistance, how mitochondria shrink without challenge, and why lifestyle—not pharmaceuticals—holds the key to reversing type 2 diabetes. His evolutionary lens offers a roadmap to reclaim energy and longevity.
