Hey folks, it's Ben Greenfield and in today's podcast episode I have a conversation with

my personal natural pathic physician Dr. Todd Schlapper about cell-to-cell communication.

Now we actually had a pretty long discussion about how cells communicate with one another,

but I thought that the conversation got really interesting and really practical for you.

At about the point where I began to ask Dr. Todd about how we could actually enhance

the cell-to-cell communication.

So I'm going to actually start the interview at that point.

Now if you want to geek out on how cells communicate and the process behind that, I've got a really

helpful video for you over on the show notes for this episode over at BenGreenfieldFitness.com.

The other thing that I have for you over there is an article, a guest article written

by, of course, Dr. Todd, that gives you more information on cell-to-cell communication

as well as show notes for everything that I go over with Dr. Todd in this episode.

So let's jump right in to how to enhance your cell's ability to communicate.

So what about things that actually support cellular signaling that can assist with everything

from redox potential to the ability of cells to communicate with one another?

I go back to basic biology and correlating that to the physiology of the body.

In order to make energy in the body, you understand perhaps to remember and hopefully those

in the audience can remember what's called the Krebs cycle, which is the ability of the

body.

The cycle of the body goes through to make energy known as ATP, the denocene triphosphate.

That process takes place in the mitochondria of a cell.

The cofactors that turn on that Krebs cycle are what I would consider critical to enhancing
