14 May 2021 Ep. 57: Glycolysis, Lactate, and pH balance (Oxygenation, Swelling, and pH Balance Part 2)
Listen to the podcast on Apple Podcasts | Google Podcasts | Stitcher| Spotify
In this episode we discuss:
3:13 – contrasting complete glucose oxidation with anaerobic and aerobic glycolysis
17:28 - the harmful and degenerative effects of inefficient glucose metabolism and excess lactate production
25:19 – the effect of lactate and inefficient metabolism on swelling, mineral balance, oxygenation, and pH balance
35:35 – whether there’s validity to the acid alkaline ash diet
48:16 – the impact of mitochondrial respiration on pH balance
51:13 – physiological control of pH balance

Posted at 14:38h, 18 MayThis podcast was pretty technical for me but I’m looking forward to part 3! I have polycythemia (high red blood cells, hemoglobin, hematocrit) and doc thinks sleep apnea is causing it. Had cpap for 1-1/2 yrs and numbers still the same. I’d love to know your take on this and what would help. Thanks!

Sleep apnea could be involved, or any other situation causing hypoxia. In part 4 we’ll discuss things that can help increase CO2 and decrease excess glycolysis/lactate, so those suggestions would be the first place I’d start. I’d look into Buteyko breathing if you haven’t already (this is a good website: https://normalbreathing.com/) and work on sorting out what could be going on metabolically that could be inhibiting efficient glucose oxidation (endotoxin, nutrient deficiencies, PUFA, excess stress, etc.).
