Episode Highlights With Katie Why the traditional biochemical model of the body is incomplete...and why the body is electric first The shocking amount of energy your body generates each day (about your own body weight in ATP!) Why 90–95% of chronic diseases have mitochondrial dysfunction at the root How your mitochondria act not just as powerhouses but as quantum batteries, antennas, and information hubs The surprising sources of electrons that create cellular voltage...including sunlight, melanin, movement, structured water, and the earth itself How infrared light charges your “quantum battery,” while artificial blue light breaks it down Why hydration with minerals is essential for building cellular charge (and why plain water can ake things worse) The nutrients mitochondria require to function: phospholipids, healthy fats, CoQ10, copper, B-vitamins, carnitine, creatine, and more What redox really means and why redox balance must come before detox How a collapse in redox leads to the Cell Danger Response, chronic symptoms, and stalled healing The many ways modern life drains voltage: lack of sunlight, EMFs, stress, toxins, blue light, poor sleep, dehydration, and circadian…
