Thermogenesis Thermogenesis by Dr. Fred Spencer, DMD Thermogenesis really has to do with energy. The concept is pretty well accepted that energy is neither created nor destroyed.
Energy is transformed, converted, transported, and stored.
In the human body it is the same way. Our energy comes into our body as food that we eat. Everyone knows the measure of the energy is in calories. Calories are the energy stored in food. As we take it into the body, energy is either transformed or stored.
