About this listen

 Ezra Volt reveals the human body as a sophisticated energy transformation system, where millions of microscopic exchanges happen every second. He explores how digestion converts food into ATP, the molecular currency that powers every cell, and explains why different foods burn at different rates. Muscles become energy spenders, metabolism becomes an economic strategy, and fatigue transforms from failure into information about energy debt. Comparing the body to a compact city-sized electrical infrastructure, Ezra shows how you're continuously balancing energy supply and demand while running on just one hundred watts of power—the equivalent of a light bulb. This is the hidden genius of biological engineering.
