2837: The Methylene Blue Masterclass: Cutting-Edge Mitochondrial Support with Dr. Scott Sherr

Dr. Scott Sherr, MD
Show Notes

Dr. Scott Sherr, a board-certified physician practicing health optimization medicine, breaks down why 94% of US adults are metabolically unhealthy and how mitochondrial dysfunction underlies fatigue, anxiety, and disease. He presents methylene blue—the first FDA-registered drug—as a tool for improving mitochondrial energy production, discusses GABA deficiency and the 'sympathetic spiral of doom' that keeps people locked in overdrive, and shares combination strategies using red light therapy and specific compounds for sleep, travel, and performance.

Highlights

•
94% of US adults are metabolically unhealthy00:16:34
94% of US adults are metabolically unhealthy, meaning their mitochondria—the powerhouses of their cells—are struggling to produce the energy needed for optimal function.
