00:00 - Intro music

03:56 - Skip intro music

04:19 - The flow of electrons, organization, proteins, electron acceptors and donors, Jeremy England, Vladimir Vernadsky, Otto Warburg, Albert Szent-Györgyi, William F. Koch, CO2

16:42 - Energy, the assumption of randomness, and order

19:05 - Albert-Szent Györgyi, the living state, proliferation, and differentiation

21:16 - Landmarks in cellular metabolism: fatty acids vs. carbohydrate

24:55 - "Glucose oxidation produces around 25% more NADH and half as much FADH2 as fat oxidation. Together, this leads to a ratio of FADH2 to NADH that is around 2.5 times lower than that of fat oxidation." Carbs vs. Fats: Which is the Better Fuel? by Jay Feldman Wellness

26:44 - Complex I, superoxide radical, and nitric oxide

28:24 - Methylene blue, functional antioxidant, and oxidizing agent

31:38 - Ringer's lactate solution, the recent deification of lactic acid

32:25 - Clarification on the optimal reduction/oxidation balance

34:03 - What is the consequence of turning off pyruvate dehydrogenase?

36:35 - Is it good that fatty acids skip glycolysis?

37:27 - Lipolysis, beta-oxidation, and estrogen

38:13 - The role of progesterone in regulating the redox balance

45:22 - Is progesterone a quinone (electron withdrawing agent)?

46:23 - What are the arguments for favoring NADH over NAD+?

47:31 - PUFAs are essential for destructive lipid peroxidation

49:15 - Glycerol from free fatty acids help form methylglyoxal that increases the formation of advanced glycation end-products, which is usually blamed on sugar

53:50 - Is pregnenolone "safer" than cholesterol?

57:00 - Progesterone vs. pregnenolone for stress, progesterone opposing many different layers of stress (e.g., adrenals, pituitary, hypothalamus, etc.)  

59:57 - Staying in the oxidized state is an "uphill battle"

01:01:43 - Glucose, fructose, trehalose, and the generation of lactic acid, the protective effects of fructose, fructose as an antidote to ethanol
