The discoveries of the Redoxome and of cell signaling molecules are among the most important for health in our lifetime. Operating at a deeper level than the DNA, the innate power of redox signaling is a commanding force-multiplier to protect and restore health and to slow the forces of aging. The essence of cell-protective mechanisms which detect and respond to stress are grounded in the inner workings of the Redoxome and upon redox-sensitive transcription factors.
Redox signaling molecules are native to the body and have a universal effect on all cells to manage the on/off regulatory circuits ("redox switches") that are responsive to changes in the cellular environment and enhance the stress response, creating cellular renewal and stress resilience. These functions include energy metabolism, redox signaling, hormesis, ketosis, metabolic flexibility, and the process of autophagy and DNA repair.
A vibrant Redoxome governs every healthy cellular function. Everything in the body conforms to the influence of redox reactions. These are the "rules of the cell", the blueprint for metabolic health and function. Health or disease is the result based on the cellular and mitochondrial lifestyle. This makes the "Redox Lifestyle" key to genuine health, antiaging, and to needing less medical intervention. This is the essence of how to “Awaken Your Inner Doctor.”
Learning Objectives:
Understand the basics of cell biology as related to oxidation and reduction, and the redox-sensitive transcription factors that regulate gene expression
Learn about the role of mitochondria in both energy production and the creation of reactive oxygen species, which are then utilized by the cell to manage its regulatory circuits
Learn about a variety of lifestyle-related behaviors and practices, as well as number of ancillary modalities which influence and upregulate cellular redox pathways that support health, healing, and antiaging mechanisms
