Understanding Energy and Fatigue in the Body
18:09 - 26:47 (08:38)
The podcast delves into how the body makes and handles energy and fatigue, discussing fuel sources including glycogen and body fat, along with how protein functions as a fuel source.
Clips
The body is expected to perform a variety of tasks that require varied physical responses such as endurance, strength or small efforts.

The body has different fuel sources including glycogen, body fat and protein.
22:24 - 24:54 (02:29)
Summary
The body has different fuel sources including glycogen, body fat and protein. The body will signal to use body fat as a fuel source when other sources are depleted or when it's the optimal source. Fat loss occurs as adipocytes begin to release fat for fuel.

Oxygen and carbon dioxide play a crucial role in our breathing and metabolism, as the neural trigger for breathing is when carbon dioxide reaches a certain threshold level.
24:54 - 26:47 (01:53)
Summary
Oxygen and carbon dioxide play a crucial role in our breathing and metabolism, as the neural trigger for breathing is when carbon dioxide reaches a certain threshold level. Energy production and fatigue management are primarily concerned with breaking carbon bonds and using the resulting energy to create ATP molecules.
