Ep. 57: Glycolysis, Lactate, and pH balance (Oxygenation, Swelling, and pH Balance Part 2)

In this episode we discuss: Why lactate is not a harmless byproduct of glycolysis How lactate drives swelling and prevents proper mineral balance, oxygenation, and pH balance Misconceptions around pH balance and the idea that alkalinity is healthy Why we want our cells to be acidic rather than alkaline What we can do to maintain proper pH balance throughout our bodies   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-57-glycolysis-lactate-and-ph-balance-oxygenation-swelling-and-ph-balance-part-2/   Timestamps: 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/lactic acid production 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
