The Energy Resistance Principle (ERP) is probably the most important paper and theory we've published.
https://t.co/gjVRvA5q9K

The ERP bridges physics and biology, providing a first-principles understanding of the central force behind health and disease dynamics.

Delightful to write this with lovely biophysicist @msahsorin. We are grateful for the dozens of colleagues, friends, and lab members who have contributed to sharpening the ideas, concepts, and definitions in the ERP.

The ERP is a quantitative framework that can be used to understand some profound things that we know matter for our health:
☯︎ Why is exercise good for us?
☯︎ How does ketosis work as a treatment for mental illness?
☯︎ Why do we age well or not so well?
☯︎ Where does fatigue and the need to sleep come from?
☯︎ Why is the brain warmer than other tissues?
☯︎ How can we measure energy resistance (éR)?

ERP's key idea is that we live in a narrow zone of energy resistance (éR). For energy to transform into metabolites, cells, organs, and thoughts, it needs to run through éR. Too little resistance, you would burst into flames. Too much resistance, your energy cannot flow easily, you feel tired, become inflamed, age faster, and get sick more easily. When éR is too high, we die.

A new era of science is upon us. We have new theories, and are developing new tools and technologies to monitor energetic states, not just their molecular and physical expressions.

This opens new avenues to develop the first field of science devoted to understanding health, and what sustains it: the healing process. It's time for Healing Science.

We'd love to hear your thoughts, ideas, and questions. Please join us for a X space discussion on Oct 21. Details to follow.

New research from Dr Craig Thompson reveals that mitochondria do more than generate energy - they form specialized subpopulations under stress.

Will this discovery could reshape our understanding of metabolism and disease treatment?

Outmoded, time-based measures of learning have to go. The time to reimagine how we measure students’ learning and the skills we require for a college degree is now. This is spot on. ⬇️🔥🔥

Mitochondria transferring between cells and organs? Take a look, and please download the article and send a survey response back about better defining the subfield of mitochondrial transfer. https://t.co/KiMsXrsNdb

Mitochondria are not happy in space, which poses real questions for prolonged missions. Congrats to the Space Omics and MedicalAtlas team Chris Mason and @AfshinBeheshti

One of the craziest things I learned last week at #AAI2024 was that we have more free-floating extracellular mitochondria in our blood than white blood cells. This was not in any textbook that I ever read!

@MitoPsychoBio Martin, Thanks for post. https://t.co/G2JYoyRRFN got off to a good start the the UCLA Mitochondria Symposium. Our intent is to be the global information source for mitochondria news, resources and collaboration. Appreciate your support and that of the Baszucki Group.
