Episode 52: Grounding Mitochondrial Metaphors in Clinical Science: A Critique of Mitochondrial Life-Capacity

A critique of Mitochondrial Life-Capacity focused on grounding its metaphors in clinical science. This episode asks how the paper can operationalize wu-wei physiology and salutogenic affordances, integrate long-COVID and ME/CFS models such as microclots and viral persistence, and turn its clinical cycle into a practical patient case study.

Episode 51: Why Your Cells Trigger Rolling Blackouts: A Debate on Mitochondrial Life-Capacity

A debate on why your cells trigger rolling blackouts. This episode explores fatigue as an intelligent mitochondrial warning signal, the difference between energy deficit and energy gap, tired-but-wired physiology, hidden healing labor, restorative margins, and whether locked biological loops require yielding, intervention, or both.

Episode 50: Your Mitochondria are Reading Your Life: Mitochondrial Life-Capacity and Human Flourishing

A deep dive into mitochondrial life-capacity and the biological intelligence of fatigue. This episode explores how mitochondria read stress, safety, illness, environment, and restorative margins — reframing exhaustion not as laziness, but as a protective signal from the body’s energy-transforming systems.
