Description
In this episode we discuss:
Why stress is not your friend
The effects of cortisol on your mitochondria
Hans Selye’s general adaptation syndrome
How cortisol causes mitochondrial dysfunction, heart disease, insulin resistance, autoimmunity, allergies & hypersensitivity, mineral imbalances, and cancer metabolism
Why acute stress does not lead to improved health via hormesis

0:00 – an introduction to the paper: mitochondria as key components of the stress response
1:03 – Hans Selye’s general adaptation syndrome and the process of stress in relation to energy balance
20:30 – the 3 main effects of the stress hormones in the acute stress response and the cost to this response
28:48 – long-term glucocorticoid exposure causes insulin resistance and the protective effects of high blood sugar in certain contexts
31:04 – how long-term stress causes degeneration
31:55 – functions of the mitochondria
35:54 – mitochondria upregulate energy production in response to stress
38:06 – the short-term vs. long-term effects of the glucocorticoids (cortisol)
41:03 – how stress causes hormetic adaptations and how the hormetic pathways cause degeneration over time
47:30 – how mitochondria respond to excess stress and how this relates to fat gain
56:04 – how chronic stress and exposure to cortisol causes impaired energy production, degeneration, immunosuppression & autoimmunity, mineral imbalance, swelling, allergies & hypersensitivity, and cancer metabolism

Ep. 11: Weight Loss Part 2: The True Cause of Weight Gain: In this episode we discuss: Why we don’t want to cut carbs, fat, or calories to lose weight Why fat gain and low energy go hand-in-hand Why “hyperpalatability” is not the cause of overeating (and what is) Our personal experiences with “eating less... by The Energy Balance Podcast
