#471: From Waste Gas to Wellness: The Vital Benefits of Carbon Dioxide With Steven Scott

Today, I’m joined by Steve Scott, an entrepreneur, researcher, and author of The Carbonated Body, who is on a mission to change the way we think about carbon dioxide—and trust me, it’s not just a waste gas. In this episode, Steve makes a compelling case for why CO2 is vital for better energy, resilient mitochondria, and improved recovery, and explains how we’ve misunderstood its role in human health for far too long.
