During cold thermogenesis mitochondria are moving electrons from carbon & hydrogen to oxygen to release heat. But are they grounded? Without an electrical connection to the Earth, your body will build up static charge that disrupts the mitochondrial membrane potential. Cold plunging in a plastic tub leaves you disconnected...

Biophotons are the sunshine your mitochondria make inside your body. You already know that during cold thermogenesis mitochondria in brown fat cells produce far infrared (FIR) light called heat. Well, they also produce other wavelengths -- including ultraviolet (UV). It's the UV light of cold thermogenesis that boosted the blood serum levels of Vitamin D in a cohort of Polish women with multiple sclerosis undergoing a whole-body cryotherapy regimen under the supervision of researchers at the University of Krakow. Your body is such a beautiful, complex system. It knows how to make its own sunshine during the winter, when it's dark and cold outside... as long as you're willing to give it the cold it needs to do it.

All sex hormone synthesis originates in the inner mitochondrial membrane, where an enzyme called P450scc cleaves a hydrocarbon chain from cholesterol to form pregnenolone. That means same cholesterol your physician (erroneously) says will kill you is what your body uses to make testosterone. Moreover, P450scc absorbs light. Why would an enzyme that acts inside the mitochondria respond to a blue wavelength of light that can never reach that far inside the body? Because the blue light that energizes P450scc is coming from inside the body. It is produced by the mitochondria itself. The implications of this understanding are massive. To maintain high sex hormone levels as you age, you must have high levels of LDL cholesterol and healthy, active mitochondria. Cold plunge therapy not only stimulates mitobiogenesis for production of new mitochondria, but also creates light -- e.g., inside brown adipose tissue (BAT) -- that energize the enzymes responsible for steroidogenesis. You might have heard online that there is no way to stop the inevitable decline of total testosterone as you age. I'm telling you that's bullshit.

"There is a trickle of excitement from the Jets fan base and I am so f*cking sick of people who try to pour cold water on that the second it happens. If you're not a Jets fan and you are bothered that some Jets fans are excited they scored a TD with their starters on the opening drive of their second preseason game -- and you need to pour cold water on that with this fanbase that has stuck through this without the playoffs for almost two full decades -- what is wrong with you?!"

Your worst thoughts are not your enemies. They are just bad chemistry. And chemistry can be changed. Your body and nervous system can be brought into a balance from which you can tap into endless inspiration. You can set yourself up to get rid of those negative thoughts and replace them with moments of inspiration. How? By utilizing nature to change your body’s chemistry. Dip your hands in icy water. Take a cold shower. Stand barefoot in the winter air for a few minutes. The cold strips away distractions and quiets the mental noise. This is not comfortable nor easy. But in that sharp experience, something shifts. The daily routine and worries seem less relevant. The cold forces your presence to this intense moment. Clarity. Fresh and undeniable. The cold doesn't judge you. It doesn't care about your status, your achievements, your failures. You show up as you are to meet it. Nothing else matters in that moment. And in that meeting, your neurology changes. The cold is really it. Together with the breathing. I will guide you. -Wim

This is something not a lot of folks know. Static from running wool batting can build up to dangerously high levels. Instead of spraying an anti-static agent (chemical) on the wool which is done commonly in the wool industry, we have an anti-static bar that creates an ionized field of positive and negative ions, which in effect neutralize the static charge when the wool passes over it. It is also grounded 8 feet deep in the earth.

Elon Musk: Here's why I'm in favor of the AfD. “The reason that I am in favor of AfD is that there are some fundamental things that must happen, without which I'm concerned that Germany will fail. There have to be sensible controls on immigration. If there are criminals in Germany who are committing crimes and hurting people in Germany, they must be deported. And that's not happening. Then there must also be freedom of speech, such that the people know what the truth is. Otherwise, they cannot make an informed decision. If you do not have freedom of speech, you cannot be a democracy because the public cannot make an informed decision about their vote. In Germany right now, there are draconian rules against freedom of expression where even insulting a politician can get you prison time, which is insane. So, I like the fact that the AfD is in favor of freedom of speech, in favor of sensible immigration policies and deportation of criminals, and I like the generally libertarian policies of the AfD.” WELT Economic Summit, January 28, 2025

How purpose and fulfillment physically change your brain's mitochondria: "People who felt more purpose in life and who felt more connected to others, it seemed like that was sufficient to increase the energy transformation capacity of the mitochondria in their brain." "If you tweak the mitochondria in a rat brain, you can change the behavior of that animal from more submissive to more dominant or from more dominant to more submissive." "Chronically stressful things actually damage the mitochondria in the brain, there are fewer mitochondria and they don't transform energy as well." "The human experience is the most direct way in which you can know whether the content of your life matches your energy and matches what matters for you." "Energy flow is the lynch pin between matter, the stuff of biology, and experiences." Martin Picard on Andrew D. Huberman, Ph.D.

Magnesium is the likely mechanism by which mitochondria make UV light inside the body that synthesizes Vitamin D. When an excited electron in the 3s3p¹P₁ shell relaxes back into 3s²¹S₀ it releases a photon of light at nearly 280nm. That's the same wavelength that corresponds to a absorption peak in 7DHC (provitamin D) and converts it to a new molecule called previtamin D. This interaction explains how 10 sessions of whole-body cyrotherapy could boost the blood-serum levels on Vitamin D in 15 Polish women with multiple sclerosis. The cold induces thermogenesis, which is the production of light inside the body. Some of that light is in the UVB range -- at 280nm in particular, which converts 7DHC to previtamin D. The 7DHC is present in the brown fat cells making the UV light because it is an intermediary step in cholesterol synthesis, which brown fat do. By this mechanism, cold thermogenesis makes UV light inside the body for producing Vitamin D in the winter, when UV light from the sun is absent from higher latitudes.

Well-being is about energetics. You can look fine on the outside & still feel terrible. Medicine studies anatomy. But almost no one studies the system that powers it: mitochondria & bioenergetics. A cadaver can have perfect anatomy — yet it’s dead. Why? Because it lacks energy. Doug Wallace: “The important question is whether your mitochondria are functional or not. You have 10¹⁷ mitochondria, each with ~0.5 volts of membrane potential. The amount of energy in your body right now is the equivalent, as Nick Lane says, of a lightning bolt. The difference between being alive and dead is when that membrane potential collapses. We need to understand that as a central concept of what it is to be healthy and have health and well-being.”

Science Corner: David Friedberg Explains Recent Mitotherapy Breakthroughs ⚡️ On E224, david friedberg broke down what mitotherapy is and how recent discoveries could unleash this treatment for many diseases: "So mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell." "Every cell in our body gets its energy, which is what it uses to function, from the mitochondria." "And so there's been a lot of research into the relationship between mitochondria and aging, and that dysfunctional mitochondria may actually be a key driver for many diseases." "Including many cancers, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, ALS, features of autism, muscle tissues being weak, etc." " So, as the cells get older and the mitochondria stop working, we make new mitochondria." "But over time, the DNA degrades and the mitochondria become less effective and there are fewer functional mitochondria per cell." Friedberg highlighted three recent papers: 1) "The power and potential of mitochondria transfer" (nature) -- "these folks identified and demonstrated that mitochondria can actually transfer from one cell to another" -- " So, if you've got a cell that's got damaged, or dysfunctional mitochondria, they've identified three mechanisms by which mitochondria can move into a cell that needs more mitochondria that are working and are more functional." -- "And as a result, it can rejuvenate or provide energy to a dysfunctional cell, which might improve dysfunctional tissue or improve disease." 2) "A human brain map of mitochondrial respiratory capacity and diversity" (nature) -- " this was the first mapping of the mitochondria in the human brain" -- " what it showed was that different parts of the brain, different cells, had different amounts of mitochondria and different mitochondrial function." -- "(This) starts to highlight how that difference in energy production in different cells in different parts of the brain may actually cause some of the things like memory loss or speech impairment," -- "the mitochondrial dysfunction in the brain might actually be the key driver of that aging symptomology." 3) "Organelle-tuning condition robustly fabricates energetic mitochondria for cartilage regeneration" (nature | Bone Research) -- " (the researchers) figured out a way to treat stem cells so that (they) would start to make an excess amount of mitochondria than they normally would make" -- " So they created highly energetic mitochondria and they made a lot of them." -- " the idea that we can put mitochondria into our body or into tissue in our body to heal it or repair it has been something that folks have been trying to do research around for a long time" -- " but the limiting factor is access to enough mitochondria" -- " so this mechanism that they developed opens up the door to this whole new therapeutic modality, a new type of therapy called mitotherapy" Conclusion: " ... based on the series of papers that we're seeing coming out recently, I believe (this) could end up becoming a really incredible new therapy that may ultimately lead to the treatment for many diseases that we're dealing with right now."

Honestly, at some point, we are going to be forced to make a very harsh and tough choice as people of African descent that will determine the future of our race. Because these evil, racist non-black people are not giving us much of a choice to begin with. They don't want us to "go back to Africa"...they want us GONE FROM THE EARTH. And unfortunately, even if you want to believe, not all non-black people are racist (which is true); that doesn't change the reality that some are, and that "some" number in the millions that want to kill us, so we must take that threat seriously.

From Tehran: We were told that the weather in Lebanon is far worse than here, and many of our brothers and sisters among the Lebanese Shia are now in tents, enduring winter and cold. One reason for our presence here, dear people of Lebanon and the resistance, is to show that we are with you and will not abandon you. This footage is being recorded to send to our people there, to show that the Iranian people are here in winter and tell you that we stand by your side.

Start your day with a cold shower, even during winter. ❄️ I know it’s going to be cold in the morning and that those first few seconds in the cold water are going to be unpleasant because my ego tells me so. But my inner voice tells me to bloody get into that cold water because it is calling me to embrace every bit of my being. The control you will gain won’t be limited to your body’s response to the cold. It can be applied to stress in any form, be it heat, emotion, work, frustration with the traffic, relationships, whatever. Because the cold is merciless but righteous, we can learn from it.

Might be an escalation in the earth but there is an acceleration happening for the people of God in this hour who have been faithful to You, Lord. We praise You that there is an acceleration happening for their call and acceleration happening for their position and acceleration happening for the territory Father God that You have called them into. That in incredible ways that resources will come on to them to be stewarded in order to open up and unlock the territories that Your people have to take in this time in order to stop the stampede of the enemy that he is attempting to do in this hour. He is attempting a running of the bulls in the earth and Father we praise You that You are raising a standard right now. That You are utilizing Your people to raise a standard. Father God we praise You that in the lives of Your people incredible wonders, incredible miracles, Father God are going to happen in the lives of Your people in this hour. Though the earth escalates Father God, Your people are under Your wings. They are under Your jurisdiction. Under Your wings, we will take refuge, Father God, in the name of Jesus Christ. Though the earth shakes, though the world shakes, though the earth groans and cries out, Your people sing Your praises in an hour of escalation because they are in an hour of acceleration. The people that have been found faithful, that have stayed the course, that have pushed through, we praise You Father God that in this hour You are granting unto them a great increase for what You are giving Your people. Great increase Father God in wisdom, in resources, in opportunities, in favor, Father God we thank You that doors of favor are unlocking for your people in this hour. That people are going to walk right into buying businesses. Your people are going to walk in this hour into purchasing businesses, Father God they didn't even know was being prepared for them in order to steward it for the things of Your kingdom, for heaven's economy, for what You want to accomplish within the earth Father God. You are releasing greater vision and a greater desire, Father God, for the deeper things that You have and the greater territories You want to give unto Your people if they will only not become complacent and press in this hour. #propheticword #God #faith #prayer #JesusChrist #Holyspirit

Dr. Alexis Cowan on Deuterium: How One Simple Water Hack Could Reverse Mitochondrial Damage, Cancer, and Chronic Disease Sweat is deuterium enriched, so it helps your body to deplete deuterium. So, just briefly, deuterium is a heavy form of hydrogen. The amount of deuterium in your drinking water varies depending on what latitude you live at. High latitudes, lower deuterium. Equatorial latitudes, higher deuterium. Deuterium is enriched in plant foods, roots and fruits, starches, and is depleted in animal foods. At more northern latitudes, we’re really only meant to receive deuterium during the part of the year where we can grow and eat plants. Of course, now in the modern environment, we have access to any food at any time of year, and so a lot of people, especially if you’re eating processed foods, are eating deuterium bombs, and then they’re never sweating, they’re never getting out into sunlight to help them remove that deuterium, and deuterium clogs and gums up mitochondria. So, if deuterium levels get too high in the tissue, that creates mitochondrial dysfunction, which then begets more deuterium overload and more inflammation and more disease. So on the converse to that, deuterium depletion is being used in the treatment of cancer and diabetes right now, but there’s a large scope for other diseases as well, to actually reverse some of the root causes of the disease at the mitochondrial level. And so that’s why if people have heard of deuterium-depleted water, it’s something that is leveraged within these clinical trials, for example, to help ameliorate these two disease types. And for people who are interested in that, I’ll just make one brief note that the concentration of deuterium in the water is important. So you don’t want to just drink straight deuterium-depleted water because the deuterium in the bloodstream actually plays an important role. The blood is the most enriched source of deuterium in the body. The tissues have the least. So wherever there’s mitochondria, the deuterium goes away from that ideally. And so it’s concentrated in the blood where red blood cells have no mitochondria, so they don’t have to deal with this issue. But what you’re doing is you’re pulling water out of the blood volume, and because that’s deuterium-rich water, what you’re effectively doing is removing the deuterium-enriched water from the body, and then what you have to do in order to establish equilibrium is to pull deuterium out of the tissues to reestablish the right concentration of deuterium in the blood. So in effect, you’re depleting deuterium from your tissues when you sweat. And similarly with the drinking water, the drinking water is directly in homeostasis with your blood volume, and so if you’re drinking deuterium-depleted water, and the ideal range is between 105 and 120 parts per million, that’s going to very slightly reduce the blood deuterium levels, which then results in the deuterium being pulled out of the tissue to restore the roughly 150 parts per million concentration in the bloodstream. So those are a couple different ways. Obviously, when you’re sweating, you’re releasing deuterium. There’s also some evidence that when you’re getting exposed to full-spectrum sunlight, it also helps to remove deuterium from the water in the body, as well. And so there’s just a couple things. There also makes sense too because when you’re in an environment, like let’s say it’s summertime and there’s more plant foods available, there’s more deuterium in those foods. You’re eating that, but the body has the ability to handle that deuterium load better because the sunlight quality is better. Versus in the wintertime when there’s no plant foods available and you’re meant to be eating animal fats and proteins, which are low deuterium foods, that helps your mitochondria work better in the absence of full spectrum, like UV light and more intense, longer days...

So on the converse to that, deuterium depletion is being used in the treatment of cancer and diabetes right now, but there’s a large scope for other diseases as well, to actually reverse some of the root causes of the disease at the mitochondrial level. And so that’s why if people have heard of deuterium-depleted water, it’s something that is leveraged within these clinical trials, for example, to help ameliorate these two disease types. And for people who are interested in that, I’ll just make one brief note that the concentration of deuterium in the water is important. So you don’t want to just drink straight deuterium-depleted water because the deuterium in the bloodstream actually plays an important role. The blood is the most enriched source of deuterium in the body. The tissues have the least. So wherever there’s mitochondria, the deuterium goes away from that ideally. And so it’s concentrated in the blood where red blood cells have no mitochondria, so they don’t have to deal with this issue. But what you’re doing is you’re pulling water out of the blood volume, and because that’s deuterium-rich water, what you’re effectively doing is removing the deuterium-enriched water from the body, and then what you have to do in order to establish equilibrium is to pull deuterium out of the tissues to reestablish the right concentration of deuterium in the blood. So in effect, you’re depleting deuterium from your tissues when you sweat. And similarly with the drinking water, the drinking water is directly in homeostasis with your blood volume, and so if you’re drinking deuterium-depleted water, and the ideal range is between 105 and 120 parts per million, that’s going to very slightly reduce the blood deuterium levels, which then results in the deuterium being pulled out of the tissue to restore the roughly 150 parts per million concentration in the bloodstream. So those are a couple different ways. Obviously, when you’re sweating, you’re releasing deuterium. There’s also some evidence that when you’re getting exposed to full-spectrum sunlight, it also helps to remove deuterium from the water in the body, as well. And so there’s just a couple things. There also makes sense too because when you’re in an environment, like let’s say it’s summertime and there’s more plant foods available, there’s more deuterium in those foods. You’re eating that, but the body has the ability to handle that deuterium load better because the sunlight quality is better. Versus in the wintertime when there’s no plant foods available and you’re meant to be eating animal fats and proteins, which are low deuterium foods, that helps your mitochondria work better in the absence of full spectrum, like UV light and more intense, longer days...

People living in high-rise buildings have a 40% higher risk of stroke than people living in single-story homes. This finding comes from a 2009 study by Wolinsky & colleagues — 5,511 Medicare beneficiaries, 12 years of follow-up. Nobody talks about this. Dr. Gaétan Chevalier — engineering physicist, Director of the Earthing Institute, visiting scholar at UC San Diego School of Medicine — has a hypothesis for why. When you're not grounded, you continuously lose electrons to the atmosphere. The atmosphere is positively charged. Humid air conducts electrons away from your body constantly. But living in a high-rise building compounds this further. The electrical gradient on the ungrounded person increases as they move to higher floors of a building. A person who stands on the surface of the earth while wearing insulated shoes will have an electrical gradient in their body with the top of their head some 200 V positive with respect to the ground. Every additional floor adds 10–15 volts of electrical gradient between your head and your feet. It matters because it puts your ungrounded body at a higher positive electrical potential relative to the Earth. Stroke may be one consequence. Osteoporosis may be another. The body compensates by redirecting electrons from bones to keep vital organs functioning. Chevalier: "You're building inside your body what they call smoldering inflammation. It's like low-level inflammation. It's like oxidative stress building up in your body. Something's going to give up." The body is intelligent. It knows it's missing electrons. So it preserves internal organs first — by stealing electrons from bones. The result: calcium resorption accelerates. Bones are sacrificed. This is Chevalier's proposed mechanism — not the conclusion of the stroke study. But independent research supports the bone loss piece. Dr. Paweł Sokal's double-blind controlled study — 84 healthy adults sleeping in a high-rise building. One group grounded overnight via a conductive copper plate connected to the earth. One group not grounded. One night of grounding: Renal excretion of calcium dropped from ~2.14 to 1.12 mmol/8h. Renal excretion of phosphorus dropped from ~16.85 to 10.70 mmol/8h. Serum ionized calcium, total calcium, alkaline phosphatase — all reduced significantly. The authors' conclusion: grounding during sleep influences calcium-phosphate homeostasis — opposing what happens during spaceflight bone loss. One night. Grounded. Bones retained more minerals. Chevalier's summary: "If you want not to have osteoporosis, just be grounded. The body will have enough electrons. We're avoiding so many problems by being grounded." If you live in a high-rise: ground yourself daily. Barefoot outside. Even 20-30 minutes. The earth isn't far. You just have to get back to it.
