Manage episode 294511059 series 2904105
#005 – Qi and modern science are surely contradictory, right? Qi can’t be found by modern physiologists after all. Following the clues in the ancient texts of traditional Chinese medicine, the mysterious qi molecule has finally been discovered! It’s called… adenosine triphosphate. You might be wondering what plain old ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the molecular currency of energy in the body, has to do in a story about a magical power called Qi. In this episode, Barnaby Kent guides you down the rabbit hole on a dense journey of discovery into the many different types of qi in the human body and how the modern, rational, English-speaking mind can relate to them as straightforward physiological processes.
