This is one of the BEST interviews we've ever done on supplements and cutting-edge supplement technology... We had Dr. Scott Sherr on the podcast — a board-certified internal medicine physician who practices health optimization medicine and hyperbaric oxygen therapy. This guy KNOWS his stuff and we break down some of the most powerful compounds you can get your hands on to improve cognitive function, athletic performance, and longevity.

Here's the reality... 94% of US adults are metabolically UNHEALTHY. That means your mitochondria — the powerhouses of your cells — are struggling to produce the energy you need. Dr. Sherr explains exactly why this happens, how it connects to everything from anxiety and depression to fat loss struggles, and what you can actually DO about it. We dive DEEP into methylene blue — the first drug ever registered with the FDA back in 1897 — and why it's become one of the most powerful tools for supporting mitochondrial function and energy production.

But it doesn't stop there... We cover the GABAergic system and why most people are walking around GABA deficient (hello anxiety, insomnia, and mood issues), the synergy between methylene blue and red light therapy, how to use these compounds for travel, and a complete sleep optimization stack that could finally get you those 90+ Oura Ring scores. If you're tired of being tired, stressed about being stressed, or just want to understand how to actually support your body at a cellular level — this episode is a MUST listen.
