Mindsip insights from this episode:
Recognize pain as a signal of voltage drop in tissues
A pain signal starts when there is a pathological drop in a tissue's cellular voltage, which is then detected by sensory nerves and interpreted as pain by the brain.
Understand how structured water charges cells
A cell's negative charge comes from structured water, a gel-like fourth phase of water, which is created when water interacts with unfolded proteins inside the cell.
Reevaluate ATP's role beyond energy to protein unfolding
Contrary to popular belief, ATP's primary role is not as an energy currency but to unfold proteins, creating the surface area for water to become structured.
Manage worry to prevent chronic pain development
How much you worry about an injury while it's healing can rewire your brain to create a chronic pain sensation even after the physical damage is gone.
Utilize far-infrared light to structure water for detoxification and pain relief
The far-infrared wavelength of light is the most effective at creating structured water, which is the key mechanism behind the benefits of saunas for detoxification and pain relief.
Generate electricity in body through fascia movement
Stretching or compressing hydrated collagen fascia creates a charge separation known as the piezoelectric effect, generating electricity that is conducted throughout the body.
Rethink cell models to reflect natural living states
The common textbook image of a cell is likely an artifact, as the process of preparing cells for study fundamentally changes them from their natural, living state.
Harness melanin to convert light into energy
Melanin absorbs various forms of energy, including light, and uses it to split water molecules, releasing four electrons in the process.
Harness DHA to convert sunlight into electrical energy
The omega-3 fatty acid DHA in your skin has a cloud of electrons that, when hit by sunlight, creates a streaming electrical current in the body.
Charge your blood by grounding with the earth's electrons
Grounding allows the body to absorb electrons from the earth, which has been experimentally shown to increase the negative charge (zeta potential) of red blood cells.
