Ep. 56: Carbon Dioxide As A Key To Raising Metabolism (Oxygenation, Swelling, and pH Balance Part 1)

In this episode we discuss: 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   Sign up for the Free Energy Balance Mini-Course here: https://jayfeldmanwellness.com/energy   Click here to check out the show notes: https://jayfeldmanwellness.com/ep-56-carbon-dioxide-as-a-key-to-raising-metabolism-oxygenation-swelling-and-ph-balance-part-1/   Timestamps: 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
