Episode notes
Son's Diabetes Sparked A Health Awakening
- Thomas Seager's son diagnosed with type 1 diabetes prompted him to question mainstream nutrition and learn gluconeogenesis.
- That experience shifted his career toward metabolic health and practical self-education.
Mitochondria Drive Testosterone Production
- Mitochondrial health is central to sex-hormone production because pregnenolone is made inside mitochondria.
- If mitochondria are dysfunctional, the body prioritizes survival over steroid synthesis, lowering testosterone.
Four Modern Paths To Mitochondrial Injury
- Four main paths injure mitochondria: excess seed oils, poor light hygiene, environmental toxins, and excess carbohydrates.
- These combined modern exposures accelerate metabolic aging and lower sex hormones in young people.
