Homeostasis - The Thermostat Inside You

from Homeostasis · host Inception Point AI

Host Julia Cartwright explores the body's thermostat—homeostasis and temperature regulation—revealing how the hypothalamus orchestrates vasoconstriction, shivering, sweating, and other mechanisms to maintain 98.6°F despite extreme environments. Learn why you shiver, how fever weaponizes heat against infection, and the elegant negative feedback loops keeping you alive every second. Loved this episode?
