Timestamps:

3:27 – why reductions in adaptive responses in degenerative states and the benefits of “hormetic” interventions does not lend support to hormesis

13:49 – why improving tolerance to stress is not inherently beneficial and the cost of stress across generations

28:58 – how the fact that stress is cumulative throws a wrench in the idea of hormesis  

37:05 –the difference between producing ROS in a high energy state versus a low energy state

49:16 – the low energy, high ROS state is a feature of degenerative conditions
