Methylene Blue: Mitochondria, Performance and More
|
In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Scott Sherr to take a deep dive into methylene blue, mitochondrial function, and where the truth lies between online hype and fear. We talk through how methylene blue acts as a redox cycler in the mitochondria, how dosing differs for mitochondrial support versus antimicrobial use, and why high doses or poorly labeled liquid droppers can cause problems. Dr. Sherr also shares how he’s used methylene blue with athletes for recovery and endurance, including its timing, half-life, and the practical ranges he most often sees. We cover how mitochondrial health connects to energy, mood, focus, stress physiology, and recovery, plus resources from Transcriptions and the Health Optimization Medicine and Practice (HOMe/HOPe) framework. 🎧 Listen/Watch here: The Truth About Methylene Blue << iTunes Episode Chapters:

In this episode of the Flex Diet Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Masha Makeeva a physician specializing in integrative and regenerative medicine, to get a clear, practical breakdown of hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). We talk about why HBOT’s biggest benefit may be reducing inflammation, who it can help most, and how to think about protocols — pressure, oxygen concentration, session length, frequency, and total number of sessions —so you’re not comparing totally different approaches. We also...
Wind screaming off the Gulf, sending my kite overhead to fly 18+ feet in the air for over 100 feet and salt in every crevice of my existence. Yep, I am back in my happy place of S Padre TX. In between sessions on the water, my buddy and fellow kiteboarding kook Mike Lakawa and I got into a discussion that I hear very often. Mid-exhaustion, sun-wrecked, probably slightly dehydrated despite the irony of being surrounded by water, we landed on the same problem I keep seeing in coaches and...
