He is also a Physician at Advanced Rejuvenation, a clinic leading in alternative, regenerative medicine & treatment for chronic diseases. Dr John suffers from EBV and Mold illness; thus, it became his motivation to explore ways to improve health at the deepest cellular level. His journey led him to find Melatonin as the primary antioxidant that supports all physiological systems. Dr John is also the author of Melatonin Miracle Molecule, and It's All In Your Head: Endo Nasal Cranial Therapy. In this episode, Dr John will dive deep into what mitochondria are and why you should avoid inflammation. He will discuss melatonin's importance and critical role in protecting mitochondria. He will also talk about what Locus Coeruleus is. Furthermore, Dr John shares his daily morning routines to have a great start for the day.

[1:33] The Cell Danger Response – Why The Mitochondria Get BROKEN - If we look at how we make energy, we're moving electrons, which we call the electron transport chain. This is the job of the mitochondria. - In the process, there could be efficient and non-efficient. As we get older, it becomes a less efficient system. - Several factors will influence the fluidity of making energy. - There's a threshold of inflammation that completely shuts down the mitochondria when it is exposed to a toxic environment. - The acid in the body creates resistance, and resistance in the body creates acid. This also translates into inflammation and stress, negatively impacting energy production. - We need to start looking at things increasing the inflammation in our body and start to lower those. [11:00] Are You Stressed? Take Melatonin and Protect Your Mitochondria - Melatonin is the antioxidant that sits and prevents this Cell Danger Response to the shutdown of the mitochondria. - You can take melatonin at night, and it's great for sleep. - When faced with overwhelming stress, they must do more than just one thing. They can't expect just to do the ketogenic diet, and everything turns around. - There are only two antioxidants that can enter the mitochondrial membrane: melatonin and glutathione. - There shouldn't be any fear regarding melatonin because there's no negative feedback loop. You don't shut down your own production; it has no toxicity. [22:12] Learn About The Locus Coeruleus aka The Blue Spot in Your Brain - The blue spot, known as the locus coeruleus, is in the brain's center. - A healthy individual must be able to transfer short-term memory to long-term memory to have healthy mental, emotional, spiritual, and overall well-being. - You want your stress level to be low during sleeping. - When our stress hormones rise, our short-term memory becomes trapped in a vicious loop. - Drug companies are interested in finding something that can impact locus coeruleus. - The ability to consolidate our memories revolves around REM sleep and having low-stress hormones leading up to sleep. - Avoiding alcohol, eating late at night, light pollution, EMF exposure, and turning wifi router off will be helpful to have good REM sleep. [30:56] The Amazing Benefits of Cold Therapy, & Why You Can Do Too Much of it - If you are having difficulty tolerating the cold water, keep your hand out of the water. - Most people can tolerate the suggested three minutes. It can be quite uncomfortable for some people than others. There will not likely be any damage or danger to your cells or tissues. - In the biohacking world, cold therapy is great for having an adaptive response that the body becomes stronger and more resilient in case we have that stressor comes in the future. - If you do cold exposure and you've wiped out the rest of your day, it's a sign you did too much, so you want to find that sweet spot where you feel better and your body's adapting because we know stress is only bad when you don't adapt to it. [34:09] Dr John’s Epic Bio-Hacking Morning Routine - When connected to Mother Earth, we suck ions into our body for mitochondria, energy production, and overall health and balance. - In the morning, Dr John does sungazing to activate his circadian rhythm. - Breathwork and some exercises are beautiful ways to start a day. - Dr John also takes supplements in the morning. - How you start that morning determines how you will function for the rest of the day.
