Redox signalling, explained simply

Your body is having billions of conversations right now.

I'm Sepp. I'm 61, a lifelong waterman and builder, and for 12 years I've been fascinated by how our cells talk to each other.

This page shares what I've learned, in plain English. There's no pressure here. Read, explore the research, and if you'd like to talk, I'm happy to.

The basics

Every cell is listening, and every cell is talking

Think of your body as a huge orchestra. Trillions of cells need to play in time, and they do it by sending each other signals. Redox signalling is one of the ways they communicate. It's a normal part of biology, and scientists have studied it for decades.

The messengers

Your cells make small, reactive molecules as part of everyday life. Researchers now understand that some of them act as messengers, not just as by-products.

The balance

Healthy cells keep these signals in balance. Scientists call this redox balance, and it's an active field of research into how we age and adapt.

The whole picture

Sleep, movement, morning light, good food, stress and connection all shape the environment your cells live in. No single thing is the answer.

Knowing the science means very little if we don't live it.

Why this matters to me

Born in the mid-60s. Now thriving in my 60s.

I've spent most of my life building homes and timber structures with my hands, and most of my mornings in the ocean. At 61, I'm still building. These days it's strength, health, relationships and community.

My mornings start the same way: Kundalini yoga, the sunrise, then the gym or the pool. I see wellbeing as many pieces of one picture, and learning about how the body works at the cellular level is one piece I've found fascinating for over a decade.

It starts with salt water The redox supplement I take each day begins as salt and purified water, transformed through a patented process developed by ASEA. For a bloke who's always been drawn to the sea, I love that.

I've been with ASEA for 12 years, and every month I give to Advancing Life, its foundation supporting families and communities around the world.

The honest questions

What people usually ask me

Good questions deserve straight answers. If yours isn't here, ask me.

Isn't this just another antioxidant?

No. Antioxidants aim to neutralise reactive molecules. Redox signalling is about the balance and communication between them, which is a different idea. ASEA's own site explains how its products relate to this.

What is ASEA?

ASEA is a global company, based in Utah in the USA, that makes redox supplements and skincare. Its products are available in Australia and many other countries through independent brand partners like me.

For me, it's always been more than that. At an ASEA global event, these words went up on the big screen, and they say it better than I can:

This is not a company. This is a global tribe united in purpose, ethos, science and service.

That's what I've found over 12 years: people in many countries who care about doing life and business well, together.

Is it a medicine? Will it fix my health problem?

No. It's a supplement, not a medicine, and I'm not a doctor. If you have a health condition, please talk with your doctor or health professional. What I share here is my own experience and general education.

Do I have to buy anything?

Not at all. I'm happy to just have a conversation. If you'd like to try the products, you can explore and order directly on my ASEA page, in your own time.

Is there a business opportunity?

Yes, for those who want it. I've built an ASEA business over 12 years without ever pushing anyone, and I love mentoring people who want to make a difference. If that interests you, let's talk.

Where can I read the research for myself?

Redox signalling is one of the most studied areas of cell biology, with thousands of published papers. Two good places to start:

Redox Science shares plain-language summaries of redox research.
PubMed, the US National Library of Medicine's free database, lets you search the published studies yourself.

Most of this research looks at redox biology in general rather than at any one product. ASEA also works with scientific partners around the world, including researchers at the University of Southampton and the University of Bath in the UK, the University of California, Berkeley, the University of Valencia in Spain, the University of Chile, and here in Australia, Professor Gerald Münch at Western Sydney University.

If you'd like to know more about the research on ASEA's own products, ask me and I'll point you to the source.
