Ep. 57: Glycolysis, Lactate, and pH balance (Oxygenation, Swelling, and pH Balance Part 2)

The Energy Balance Podcast

In this episode we discuss:

• Why lactate is not a harmless byproduct of glycolysis

• How lactate drives swelling and prevents proper mineral balance, oxygenation, and pH balance

• Misconceptions around pH balance and the idea that alkalinity is healthy

• Why we want our cells to be acidic rather than alkaline

• What we can do to maintain proper pH balance throughout our bodies
