Ben Greenfield explains mitochondrial testing from MI Screen that measures efficiency and free radical leakage. Biohackers can damage mitochondria through too much hormetic stress like light and electricity. One person shares that some asthma sufferers use an unnamed method instead of albuterol because it lowers heart rate while boosting oxygen without the jitters.
I'm not joking. I interviewed the folks from MI Screen who are doing new blood based tests on mitochondrial efficiency, mitochondrial health and free radical leakage. And they actually are finding in a lot of the biohackers that they test that they're actually kind of creating excess ROS and reducing mitochondrial efficiency through typically excessive hormetic stressors, whether that be light, electricity, oxygen, et cetera. So there's a lot of diminishing returns for sure.
Yeah, 100%. So that all that stuff, I mean, when you trigger a hormetic stressor, your body responds typically in a good way. There are people who have asthma that and again, I will say no claims, and it's anecdotal, but there have been people that have asthma that are using this in lieu of albuterol because it decreases, you know, your heart rate while increasing your oxygenation, in lieu of making you jittery and increasing your heart rate and increasing your oxygenation.
