Why you ask? Hang on and I will answer that, but first, here is what is actually happening inside your muscles that you just trained if you...

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.
