Spectacular time of year

The Energy Resistance Principle (ERP) is a quantitative framework that bridges physics and biology, revealing metabolism as the energetic circuitry through which electrons flow, from food to oxygen, to fuel our lives

The fallacies from animal studies applied to humans extend beyond addiction and mental health, likely to calorie restriction and metabolic health.

In attempting to control every variable, we can distort context and conclusions.

"The most precious gift we can offer others is our presence" ⎸ Thich Nhat Hanh

When we are present and listen, we open up energetically to be moved by another person. We offer them something to resonate with.

It is among the most precious gifts.

We are exited to welcome Nicco Reggente from the Institute for Advanced Consciousness Studies

The brain did not evolve to think, but to regulate our energetic state.

Several brain regions involved in cognition work together to monitor and coordinate psychological processes.

Beautiful paper on the neuroscience behind allostasis by Jordan Theriault.

Every day, without missing a beat, the sun rises and throws its energy at us

New book covering the many functions of mitochondria, by Daria Mochly-Rosen and Emanuel Rosen

The way we feel and the psychiatric symptoms some of us end up experiencing could emerge from the way energy flows, or fails to flow smoothly, in mitochondria.

Grateful for the many discussions on human energy expenditure with @hermanpontzer.bsky.social who brings so much to this field.

Wonderful meeting organized by @johnspeakman4.bsky.social on energy in Shenzhen—I learnt so much! Thank you.

Below John humoring the dancing robot 😅

Without resistance there can be no transformation of anything into anything else. Like a beaming photon in outer space.

But with too much resistance, energy cannot flow, damage accumulates, and we die. Like electrons trying to flow in a defective mitochondrion.

This morning I felt a little sadness when I remembered that many of the colleagues I wished to share something dear to my heart with, had departed from X.

@msahsorin.bsky.social and I would love to know what people think of the Energy Resistance Principle (ERP)
