Bitesize Biohack: Longevity, Detoxification & Cellular Energy with Dr Christopher Shade

Angela is joined by Dr Christopher Shade to talk about the importance of phosphatidylcholine in the body and how it plays a crucial role in cell membranes and organelles. They also delve into the significance of maintaining healthy membranes for optimal biochemical power and the consequences of damaged membranes. The conversation then shifts to the topic of toxicity, specifically mercury, and the process of detoxification. KEY TAKEAWAYS Phosphatidylcholine is an important component of cell membranes and membranous organelles, and its deficiency can lead to cell disruption and dysfunction. Membranes play a crucial role in driving biochemical power in the body by separating opposites and maintaining polarity. Mercury toxicity can be a concern, especially from consuming larger fish like tuna and swordfish. Choosing smaller fish with lower mercury levels is recommended. Mercury detox involves using glutathione and glutathione S-transferase to release mercury from proteins in cells, pushing it out of the cell with the help of ATP and magnesium, and eliminating it through bile flow and stool. BEST MOMENTS "Membrane drives all biochemical power in the body by separating opposites." - Interviewee "You can eat those as your sole protein source three times a day and never become toxic." - Interviewee "The way you do mercury detox, and this is really a model for how you do all detox." - Interviewee "We should live really strongly past our 80s. We should pretty easily get up to around 100."
