• Why the stress caused by calorie restriction, exercise, cold thermogenesis, fasting, ketogenic diets, Wim Hoff breathing, and supplements like resveratrol is not supportive of our health

• Why autophagy, mitochondrial biogenesis, and uncoupling are not always beneficial

• Whether being tolerant to stress is a sign of health

• Why it’s virtually impossible to apply hormesis in a practical sense

• The difference between reactive oxygen species production in a high energy state versus a low energy state

Timestamps:

3:27 – why reductions in adaptive responses in degenerative states and the benefits of “hormetic” interventions does not lend support to hormesis

13:49 – why improving tolerance to stress is not inherently beneficial and the cost of stress across generations

28:58 – how the fact that stress is cumulative throws a wrench in the idea of hormesis  

37:05 –the difference between producing ROS in a high energy state versus a low energy state

49:16 – the low energy, high ROS state is a feature of degenerative conditions
