About this episode
What if a 150-year-old compound could still outperform modern solutions?
I’m so excited to dive into the world of mitochondrial health today with Dr. Scott Sherr, a physician who specializes in health optimization and chronic illness protocols. We’re exploring the fascinating history and science of methylene blue, a powerful tool that can help you reclaim your energy and support your body’s natural detoxification processes. You'll learn why this "old-school" dye is hitting the zeitgeist and how to use it safely to age powerfully.
What you’ll learn:
(00:00:11) What methylene blue is and how it was originally developed as a textile dye.
(00:00:54) How methylene blue became one of the first synthetic antimicrobial drugs in history.
(00:01:35) Why the “natural vs synthetic” debate can be misleading for your health decisions.
(00:03:24) How methylene blue supports mitochondrial function and energy production.
(00:03:59) Why you feel fatigued on airplanes and how oxygen levels impact your body.
(00:04:54) Who may benefit from daily methylene blue use and who may not need it.
(00:06:01) How to dose methylene blue properly for energy, stress, and performance.
(00:09:04) Why supplement quality and testing are critical for safety and effectiveness.
