High Performance Health Bitesize Biohack: Longevity, Detoxification & Cellular Energy with Dr Christopher Shade
Angela is joined by Dr Christopher Shade to talk about the importance of phosphatidylcholine in the body and how it plays a crucial role in cell membranes and organelles. They also delve into the significance of maintaining healthy membranes for optimal biochemical power and the consequences of damaged membranes. The conversation then shifts to the topic of toxicity, specifically mercury, and the process of detoxification.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Phosphatidylcholine is an important component of cell membranes and membranous organelles, and its deficiency can lead to cell disruption and dysfunction.
- Membranes play a crucial role in driving biochemical power in the body by separating opposites and maintaining polarity.
- Mercury toxicity can be a concern, especially from consuming larger fish like tuna and swordfish. Choosing smaller fish with lower mercury levels is recommended.
- Mercury detox involves using glutathione and glutathione S-transferase to release mercury from proteins in cells, pushing it out of the cell with the help of ATP and magnesium, and eliminating it through bile flow and stool.
