Episode notes
I always like learning about topics that can directly or indirectly affect mitochondrial function. At the end of the day, those are other potential strategies for optimizing mitochondrial health and the root cause of health, wellness and longevity. Redox biology fits that to a tee, meaning if you can improve your internal redox signaling you will inherently improve your mitochondrial function. I like that!
We will gain a nice overview of exactly what redox is, why it matters and how it impacts all aspects of health. We will turn to Dr. Lee Ostler's book, Redox Matters, to learn the highlights of redox biology and signaling and why it is undoubtedly a foundational aspect of all health and wellness (which should be no surprise given its entanglement with mitochondrial function).
For the second part of the episode I will introduce BioLight's fourth version of BioBlue, which certainly lives up to its name: BioBlue Calm. BioBlue Calm is a blend of six herbs and minerals combined with pharmaceutical grade methylene blue (USP >99.5%) to help promote relaxation and a sense of calm. This recipe includes all of the same ingredients as our flagship BioBlue product minus nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN). We decided to remove NMN because while is not a stimulant, it can be stimulating to our physiology given its properties for improving mitochondrial function and energy production.
Between the removal of the NMN and the addition of:
Ashwagandha
Valerian
Passionflower
Kava
Magnesium glycinate
Magnesium L-threonate
...BioBlue Calm functions as a "weighted blanket" for your brain and your nervous system, providing a physiological tranquility in times of stress, anxiety and/or when falling asleep is difficult.
All of the above herbs and minerals contribute to reducing cortisol levels and improved GABA activity in the brain. This alone promotes a deep sense of calm.
