Why increasing carbon dioxide production is key if we want to increase our metabolism
Whether burning carbohydrates is the best way to raise carbon dioxide
How carbon dioxide interacts with our cellular protein structure to create structured water
Carbon dioxide’s role in circulation and preventing high blood pressure
How carbon dioxide reduces swelling and water retention

2:46 – an introduction to the relevance of carbon dioxide (CO2)

6:35 – the role of carbon dioxide in respiration (The Bohr and Haldane Effects)

13:45 –carbon dioxide as a driver of our metabolism and the importance of carbohydrate oxidation for CO2 production

27:10 – carbon dioxide as the primary vasodilator

32:50 – carbon dioxide as an antioxidant that protects against reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen species

38:22 – carbon dioxide in the context of hormesis and its anti-hormetic effects

41:29 – the value of the context provided by the bioenergetic view

47:40 – carbon dioxide’s role in the structuring of the cell and creating structured water, as well as reducing swelling and water retention
