Managing blood glucose has received alot of attention, investment, and news coverage for a long time. And not without controversey from Ray Peat, and his beliefs, to the Keto and Plant Based diet alternatives. Here we look at key genes that regulate glucose uptake - for both those that struggle with high blood glucose, but also for athletes that use glucose for energy production in the Krebs (Citric Acid) Cycle. Further we link in PPAR-Gamma that exerts strong influence across this and many more functions (mitochondrial biogenesis, mast cell activation, oxidative stress, eye health, metabolic processes, etc).

Many use epsom salt baths to ‘relax and recharge’, or simply help our mind become less stressed. What is going, why is this happening ? We will explore the NAD+/NADPH pathway, magnesium, the QPRT gene, quinolinic acid, and one of many reasons why oxidative stress matters (alot).
