In this episode we discuss:
3:22 – the difference between producing ROS in a high energy state compared to a low energy state
9:38 – how ATP protects against oxidative stress
21:55 – how CO2 protects against oxidative stress
26:31 – how tighter mitochondrial coupling is better for inducing uncoupling
27:48 – the broader context of why we want to adapt to a high-energy, low-stress state
33:28 – how exercise can be beneficial despite the stress it causes, rather than because of it
47:06 – how low-carb/ketogenic diets can be beneficial despite the stress they cause, rather than because of it
57:40 – what to expect when moving away from a hormetic approach
1:02:16 – how the fact that we can’t avoid stress fits into the bioenergetic, anti-hormetic view
1:03:39 – what anti-hormesis looks like in a practical sense
