In this episode we discuss:

Why the stress caused by calorie restriction, exercise, cold thermogenesis, fasting, ketogenic diets, Wim Hoff breathing, and supplements like resveratrol is not supportive of our health


Why autophagy, mitochondrial biogenesis, and uncoupling are not always beneficial


Whether being tolerant to stress is a sign of health


Why it’s virtually impossible to apply hormesis in a practical sense


The difference between reactive oxygen species production in a high energy state versus a low energy state

Timestamps:
3:27 – why reductions in adaptive responses in degenerative states and the benefits of “hormetic” interventions does not lend support to hormesis
13:49 – why improving tolerance to stress is not inherently beneficial and the cost of stress across generations
28:58 – how the fact that stress is cumulative throws a wrench in the idea of hormesis  
37:05 –the difference between producing ROS in a high energy state versus a low energy state
49:16 – the low energy, high ROS state is a feature of degenerative conditions
