There is a state where the body gets locked in sympathetic activation and mitochondrial dysfunction at the same time and no matter what supplements you take, no matter what protocols you run, nothing actually works. Dr. Scott Sherr calls it the sympathetic spiral of doom, and in this episode we break down exactly what it is, why so many people are stuck in it without knowing it, and the right sequence to actually get out.

Dr. Scott is a board certified internal medicine physician, certified in hyperbaric oxygen therapy and health optimization medicine, and the chief medical officer of One Base Health, the company behind the hyperbaric chamber you see in every episode. He advises me personally on my hyperbaric protocols, including the ovarian longevity protocol I have been running, and this conversation goes deep into the science behind why that protocol makes sense and what we are actually trying to achieve.
