Dr. Jeff & Friends, Season 1, Episode 11: OXIDATIVE STRESS: THE MASTER CLASS WITH DR. DONDEE NETTLES - PART 2 | Mitochondria, Obesity, Cancer & What You Can Do?
MASTERCLASS: OXIDATIVE STRESS - PART 2 In Part 2 of our Oxidative Stress Masterclass, Dr. Donnie Nettles and I take the conversation deeper, looking at what oxidative stress can do at the cellular level and why it may play such an important role in our long-term health. We start with the mitochondria - the structures inside our cells responsible for producing much of the energy our bodies need. What happens when oxidative stress begins damaging mitochondrial function? ATP production can decline. Cellular energy can suffer. And mitochondrial dysfunction has been associated with fatigue, metabolic dysfunction, cardiovascular disease, aging, and many chronic diseases. From there, we explore the connection between oxidative stress, obesity, and our modern food supply including how what we eat can influence inflammation, metabolism, and cellular health. We also discuss a more serious consequence of oxidative damage: DNA damage and genetic mutations , and how accumulated cellular damage can contribute to the processes involved in cancer development. But we didn't want to end the Masterclass by simply talking about what's going wrong. We wanted to talk about what you can actually do about it. So Dr. Nettles and I finish the episode by each sharing 5 things you can start doing TODAY to help reduce oxidative stress and support better overall health. This isn't about chasing one supplement or one treatment. It's about understanding the biology -and then making choices that help your body work the way it was designed to work. ▶️ Watch Masterclass: Oxidative Stress - Part 2 and let us know in the comments which change you're going to start with.
