Summary

You’ve probably heard the buzz around the mythical and sketchy-sounding synthetic compound known as methylene blue.

How is it that methylene blue went from a 19th-century textile dye to a futuristic, cutting-edge mitochondrial-enhancing compound that turns your tongue blue?

After surviving freak bouts of carbon monoxide poisoning, black mold exposure and chronic lyme disease, methylene blue earned its spot in my bag of tricks many moons ago. Should it be in yours?

With mitochondrial dysfunction affecting a whopping 94% of adults in the U.S., I’d say it’s worth a look.

We’re here with one of the foremost experts and thought leaders integrating intriguing compounds like methylene blue into their practice, Dr. Scott Sherr.

While methylene blue is a remarkable tool for healing and performance optimization of the brain and body, it’s not right for everyone. Since methylene blue can interact with certain medications and supplements and we’re still learning about its effects on the microbiome, it’s essential to exercise caution and be intentional about sourcing, dosage, and frequency of use.

Dr. Scott is here to separate the truth from the hype.

In this episode, you’re about to discover:

How to improve metabolic and mitochondrial function with low-dose methylene blue
How combining hyperbaric oxygen therapy and high altitude training with methylene blue further enhance performance
How to dose methylene blue strategically
And much more…
