19 May 2021 Ep. 58: Altitude, Panic Attacks, Swelling, Heart Failure, and More (Oxygenation, Swelling, and pH Balance Part 3)
Listen to the podcast on Apple Podcasts | Google Podcasts | Stitcher| Spotify
In this episode we discuss:
3:40 – health conditions and situations where we see impaired oxygenation and swelling
8:54 – insulin resistance as a presentation of inhibited glucose oxidation, excess glycolysis, and lactate production, and why metformin makes this worse
21:16 – respiratory alkalosis in altitude sickness
36:28 – respiratory alkalosis in panic attacks/anxiety attacks and hyperventilation
41:09 – adaptation to altitude, the lactate paradox, and stormy weather
43:59 – the problem with 100% oxygen ventilation in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), including sepsis and respiratory illness like COVID-19, and the protective effects of CO2 in these situations
54:49 – how a lack of CO2 and excess lactate causes pulmonary edema, impaired ventilation, impaired heart contractility, reduced circulation, high blood pressure, mineral imbalances, and edema
