Episode 007 – Redox: The Hidden Switch That Tells Your Cells What to Do Next

You’ve been told to focus on energy—but no one taught you how to manage it.

In this episode of The Metabolic Compass™ Podcast, we uncover one of the most overlooked forces in health and aging: redox balance—the internal coordination system that determines whether energy heals you… or hurts you.

Because energy production isn’t the end of the story. It’s just the beginning.

You’ll learn:

What redox balance really means (and why it matters more than your macros)

• How reactive oxygen species (ROS) create energy sparks—and what happens when they go uncontained
• Why symptoms like brain fog, fatigue, food reactivity, and emotional volatility often trace back to redox imbalance
• How redox drift contributes to mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammation, and accelerated aging
• What actually works to restore balance (hint: it’s not megadoses of antioxidants)
• How your gut, liver, mitochondria, and brain form a redox relay—and what happens when that communication breaks down

If you’re tired of “doing everything right” and still feeling inflamed, drained, or off—you need this episode. Because redox isn’t just a concept. It’s your biological buffer. And when it’s gone, everything else gets harder.
