MIND BODY PLANTS - An evidence-based guide to optimal health

In Episode 16 I go (very) deep into the science of energy metabolism. What role does our food have in energy production? What is energy? How do we get energy? I explore how our body generates energy, the function of the cardiorespiratory and circulatory systems, haemoglobin, heme-iron vs non-heme iron and what that means for our blood. I discuss energy metabolism, the role of caffeine and creatine supplementation in exercise performance, glycolysis, glycogenolysis, gluconeogenesis, the difference between saturated and unsaturated fat and what that means for energy metabolism. I put a lot of time and energy into making this one so I certainly hope you get a lot from this. Please enjoy. If you are wanting a script of this episode, I can now send out scripts on request.
