When I was studying chemistry and biochem all those years ago I used to sit and read the same paragraph over and over again hoping that at some point some chemical process would make sense. I could never just accept an equation outright - I had to really understand it. Unfortunately I am still the same way so instead of just accepting the processes of glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation I find myself looking on wikipedia and studying that Krebs chart - the one that haunted me so many years ago. There's no reason for me to torture myself but I just want to understand all of this - not for a test but for myself. It didn't seem to matter so much in college as it was just something I had to know to take a test so I could take another test and another test then perhaps go to medical school. Now I want to understand it for myself and my future clients. Why, I'm not entirely sure. But for some reason, at this point in my life I am actually interested in comprehending energy production at a cellular level. Go figure.
Wish me luck!
Be well.
Be well.
