How does energy keep us alive? Our bodies are resistive energetic circuits where electrons flow from food→oxygen in our mitochondria. It's only through energy resistance (éR) - like electrical resistance - that transformation of energy into life is possible. The Energy
ERP Assumption 1 The key idea is that if energy resistance (éR) is too low, transformation can't happen properly. But if éR is too high, then biological components get damaged, age faster, and become dysfunctional. Life operates in a goldilocks zone of éR.
ERP Assumption 2 Raw energy gets patterned across the body, materializing into molecules, organs, sensations, and complex states by going through éR. It is dynamic changes in éR that patterns energy, giving rise to the rhythms we observe in the heart, brain, mind, etc.
ERP Assumption 3 The final assumption is that the body constantly adapts by tweaking éR. The ERP proposes that we and all living creatures evolved not only to optimize energy flow, but energy resistance. Changes in gene expression, mitochondria, vascularization, brain, and
The ERP grounds an energetic perspective of life into physical principles. More ideas and implications for human health to discuss, here and on Substack, in the coming weeks. @msahsorin and I will be holding an X space for those interested in discussing the ERP.
Thank you @drmarkhyman for discussing the ERP together last week
@MitoPsychoBio Thanks for ensuring it is not behind a paywall I will aim to read it later, but why the acute accent on the letter e.
@johnhemming4mp Yes, important. All papers available on our website. https://www.picardlab.org/all-...
@MitoPsychoBio That's a fascinating, highly technical premise; (ERP) offers a compelling, physics-based metaphor for life, suggesting that metabolic resistance is not a fault, but the essential, finely-tuned mechanism that converts chemical energy into the very processes of health, cognition..
@drquinteromd_ Right on
@MitoPsychoBio Well-written article – congratulations! 🥰 I particularly like figure 5, which helps me understand many aspects of the topic (finally) more clearly. Thanks for all your work!
@DianaStuderus Thank you, Diana
@MitoPsychoBio It is the LIGHT and or the Aether that gives life to all !!!
@MitoPsychoBio Intriguing analogy, Martin! Energy resistance plays a crucial role in biological energy conversion. I'm curious, how do you think this perspective could shift our understanding of energy-related illnesses, such as those involving mitochondrial dysfunction? For anyone diving
@MitoPsychoBio C+H+O > Energy + CO2
@MitoPsychoBio Perhaps you meant to say "random molecular kinetic energy" instead of "Brownian motion"? The latter is more limited to colloidal particles.
@MitoPsychoBio @grok spiega semplice erp in implicazioni descritte in post
@MitoPsychoBio This is a strong and effective analogy for teaching or conceptualizing cellular respiration, particularly its energetic and kinetic aspects. It provides a valuable mental model for understanding how energy from food is harnessed and the factors that can influence its efficiency.
@MitoPsychoBio Could vibrational coherence underlie this energy resistance? “The Oxygen Octave” (Zenodo) found a recurrent b/a ≈ 0.05 linking oxygen-based molecules, metals & planets—maybe the structure behind eR? https://zenodo.org/records/172...
@MitoPsychoBio Interesting paper.
@MitoPsychoBio thank you @threadreaderapp unroll please
@MitoPsychoBio Buen resumen de ejercicios aeróbicos y de resistencia
@MitoPsychoBio Scientifc poetry.
@MitoPsychoBio Although difficult to read for the layman, this is an extraordinary paper that helps to explain so much regarding metabolic health. Every fitness expert and health consultant should read the paper and learn to explain it in layman terms to their clients so they understand why
