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
