Jayton Miller:
Welcome back to Thermo Diet Podcast. I'm your host, Jayton Miller. And today I have on the podcast, Mr. Jay Feldman. I'm super excited for this episode. Some of the things that we talk about are the misconceptions and some of the misunderstandings around adaptation and hormesis, why our adaptation to something doesn't necessarily make it beneficial, adapting to something for survival versus thriving. Why adaptations to stress are harmful and aren't responsible for some of the benefits from things like exercise. We talk a little bit about the epigenetic factors. We talk a little bit about being a fat burner versus using the oxidative and glucose metabolism. So this is a very dense episode filled with information.

After finding a lot of things that didn't work and ended up making me feel a lot worse, through that exploration and trying to figure out what was wrong, I ended up coming across what a lot of people call the bioenergetic view of health, and changed everything for me.

Jay Feldman:
And now I watch how much it changes the lives of other people, and I think it's a much better approach, of course, as we'll talk about today.

Jayton Miller:
Definitely. So for those who might not know the general perspective of the bioenergetic view, do you mind given your quick definition of that?

Jay Feldman:
Yeah. It's basically the view that our health is dependent on energy. Basically, the energy is the center of our health. And when I say energy, I'm not talking about some spiritual energy or anything like that, but rather energy on a physiological level, the actual energy t
