Speaker: Dr. Aaron Kaufman
Dr. Aaron Kaufman: Redox molecules. And it turns out that these redox molecules are foundational to life. So you don't hear this recording. You don't think of thought, you don't grow hair, you don't digest food, you don't take a breath, your heart doesn't beat, that's not signaled or turned on and turned off by these redox signaling molecules. And it's interesting that when we're little children, we have tons of these,
Dr. Aaron Kaufman: puberty, we make
Dr. Aaron Kaufman: less every year. So a real important thought aging is a deficiency of these redox signaling molecules. The ASEA Corporation in Pleasant Grove, Utah has figured out how to produce the same exact redox cell signaling molecules that you and I are producing right now in every cell in our body that allow us to live, to function.
Dr. Aaron Kaufman: So that now when we're sick or like me, aging or an athlete who needs, you know, extra boost or somebody who's sick or just didn't get enough sleep last night for the first time ever, we can now replenish those and the things we see are just remarkable. So, you know, to flush this out
Strictly speaking, oxidative stress is any sort of process that stresses our cells, things like lack of sleep, exposures to toxic chemicals, eating, you know, high sugar and starch foods. when we're not moving our body, getting enough exercise, emotional stress, physical stress can cause oxidative stress.
Now, realistically speaking, oxidative stress is life. That's part of life. When you go walk out the door or you clap your hands, you're damaging cells. Certainly, if you get heavy duty exercise, you're breaking down some cells is a natural process to regrow cells. So there's, you know, what we could call use stress the healthy stress and then extreme stresses like somebody who's in a, you know, toxic situation in their life and they're producing a lot of these negative damaging molecules. So there's a lot of things we can do these mechanisms within the cell, trigger balance. They trigger the oxidative molecules, trigger us to produce molecules to balance that out. And those are things like glutathione, our master on oxidants. And this is a natural balance within our cells. We can enhance that by getting enough sleep by fasting
for something like 16 - 18 hours a day. and exercise, heavy duty exercise particularly causes us to deplete our carbohydrates and go into fatty acid metabolism. And there's a lot of things we can do that enhance that, but a really great one for the first time ever, we can use these redox signaling molecules to create that balance within our cells and therefore to create health.
