✳︎Clarification from Dan on the point at 4:00

"So in short, muscles become acidic through prolonged exercise, bicarbonate is used to buffer that acidity and also acidity from the diet, so the more acidic your diet is the less bicarbonate is available for the muscles = fatigue faster. Lactate is not something that is removed but is an energy source for intense exercise made from stored energy in the form of pyruvate."
