Episode Synopsis


SummaryIn this conversation, Dr. Leonard Neatu explores the fundamental role of redox biology in human physiology. He highlights the significance of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and redox sensors in cellular function, discussing the impact of superoxide anion on energy production and the role of water and melanin in redox processes. Dr. Neatu also examines the importance of complex IV in mitochondrial function, the potential risks of excessive antioxidants, and the influence of fluoride on redox balance. He presents strategies for restoring redox homeostasis, including lifestyle modifications and extracorporeal blood filtration.
