Today, I am blessed to have here with me Dr. John Lieurance. John Lieurance, ND, DC, RMA, BS, DABCN (Board Eligible), is a chiropractic neurologist and naturopath with 25 years of experience in private practice. He is a valuable member of the team at Advanced Rejuvenation, a multidisciplinary clinic specializing in alternative and regenerative medicine, naturopathic medicine, chiropractic functional neurology, Functional Cranial Release (FCR), LumoMed, Lyme disease, mold illness, and various other neurological conditions. Notably, Dr. Lieurance extends his expertise internationally, passionately sharing his knowledge and teaching fellow doctors. In this episode, we explore the metabolic sensitivity of the brain and the vital role of maintaining mitochondrial health, particularly in the inner ear. Dr. Lieurance sheds light on how issues like tinnitus, hearing loss, and hyperacusis are linked to poor mitochondrial function, exacerbated by factors such as jab injuries, vaping effects, and infections like COVID. The conversation then shifts to the battle between the external and internal environments, emphasizing the challenge of managing the body's toxic burden. Dr. Lieurance introduces essential oils as a valuable tool for caring for the body's doorways, particularly the mouth and nasal passages. Tune in as we explore the intricacies of the locus coeruleus, the command center for norepinephrine, and its role in stress modulation.  Dr John Lieurance’s LIVE event in Sarasota, Florida: https://www.drjohnlieurance.com/elements-of-vitality Use the coupon code: azadi for 5% off Join Ben Azadi's 90 day heavy metal detox program (15 spots available): https://ketokamp.clickfunnels.com/order-page-a  / / E P I S O D E   S P ON S O R S  Wild Pastures: $20 OFF per Box for Life + Free Shipping for Life + $15 OFF your 1st Box! https://wildpastures.com/promos/save-20-for-life-lf?oid=6&affid=132&source_id=podcast&sub1=ad BonCharge: Blue light Blocking Glasses, Red Light Therapy, Sauna Blankets & More.

[06:50] Doorways and Cranial Release for Holistic Health -       The concept of taking care of doorways is derived from Hindu philosophy, specifically the representation of the God Ganesh, the remover of obstacles. In this context, doorways symbolize obstacles that hinder the expression of vitality and health. Dr. Lieurance draws parallels between this Hindu idea and the practice of cranial release, using balloons to open nasal passages as a means of removing obstacles to better health. -       Dr. Lieurance emphasizes the inherent ability of the body to be self-healing and self-regulating. The vital force within the body, responsible for health, can be disrupted, leading to diseases. -       Dr. Lieurance introduces the concept of cranial release, particularly endo-nasal cranial release using balloons. -       Cranial release is explained as a way to address issues such as chronic nasal congestion, sleep apnea, snoring, TMJ, headaches, and other head-related problems. [12:00] Insights on the Metabolic Sensitivity of the Brain and Inner Ear -       Dr. Lieurance emphasizes the brain as the most metabolically sensitive organ, requiring constant energy. The depletion of this energy source affects sensitive tissues, leading to dysfunction. -       He connects poor mitochondrial function, particularly in the inner ear, to common issues like tinnitus, hearing loss, and hyperacusis. -       These problems, exacerbated by factors such as jab injuries, vaping effects, and infections like COVID, highlight the importance of maintaining mitochondrial health for overall well-being. -       The inner ear is described as the "canary in the coal mine," serving as an early indicator of issues associated with poor mitochondrial function. Dr. Lieurance draws attention to the organ's constant need for energy, even during sleep, and its vulnerability to environmental factors. [18:00] Battling Toxic Burden, Inflammation, and the Vital Role of Essential Oils in Doorway Care -       Dr. Lieurance introduces the concept of a constant battle between the external and internal environments, highlighting the challenge of managing the body's toxic burden. -       This battle leads to inflammation, a key factor in health shifts. -       The emphasis is on strategies to take care of the body's doorways, particularly the mouth and nasal passages. -       Essential oils are presented as a valuable tool for caring for doorways. -       Dr. Lieurance explains the role of biofilm, a sticky gelatinous material that microbes use to shield themselves from the immune system. Without proper care of the doorways, biofilm in the nasal passages can accumulate particles from the air, potentially leading to bloodstream entry. [21:10] Locus Coeruleus, Alzheimer's, and the Intricate Balance of Norepinephrine Modulation -       Dr. Lieurance explains that the locus coeruleus is the command central for norepinephrine, the stress hormone. The activation of this area in the brain is responsible for the transition from sleepiness to alertness and focus in the morning. -       While essential for productivity, some individuals struggle to regulate the firing frequency of the locus coeruleus, leading to prolonged stress responses. -       The accumulation of beta-amyloid plaques associated with Alzheimer's disease is found in the locus coeruleus even before the first stage of Alzheimer's. -       Dr. Lieurance suggests a connection between endotoxins and the development of these plaques in the locus coeruleus. The progression of the plaques then extends to the hypothalamus and the broader brain, impacting functions related to mood, dopamine, movement, and memory. [33:20] The Complex Landscape of Nitric Oxide Forms, Supplements, and the Fine Line Between Health Benefits and Risks -       Dr. Lieurance explains that there are three forms of nitric oxide—endothelial, neuronal, and inducible. -       Inducible nitric oxide is often elevated in response to stress and infections. While supplements are commonly used to increase nitric oxide, it's important to be aware that these supplements typically target the inducible form. -       Elevation of nitric oxide can lead to vasodilation, which can have clinical benefits such as enhanced athletic performance, improved sexual function, and lower blood pressure. -       However, chronic elevation, particularly inducible nitric oxide, is associated with chronic infections and may be linked to conditions like depression. [36:40] The Clinical and Personal Applications of Methylene Blue -       Dr. Lieurance has been actively using methylene blue clinically and personally. He notes its efficacy in treating chronic infections and highlights its remarkable impact on individuals with COVID, leading to dramatic changes within a day. -       Methylene blue, known for absorbing red light and reflecting blue, has an affinity for mitochondria. Originally a dye for clothing, it was later found beneficial for staining tissues and microbes. -       Dr. Lieurance underscores the dye's ability to highlight differences in tissues based on their mitochondrial content and its historical role in studying microbes for drug development, particularly in malaria research. -       Methylene blue's affinity for mitochondria makes it an exciting component in photobiomodulation.
