In this episode we talk to Alex Kirchin who eloquently discusses the concept of Hormesis.
Alex is a Nutritionist who is also a product formulator for the supplement company NORDIQ Nutrition. He has a particular expertise in phytochemistry and the concept of Hormesis. As a consequence of this expertise he has produced supplement formulations which stimulate a hormetic response.
In simple terms, Hormesis is the concept of how low level stressors whether from exercise, stressful situations and foods etc, challenge your body to defend itself against the stressor.
By doing this it creates a beneficial effect on the body, making you healthier over time.
