Methylene blue has been going viral recently and not always for the right reasons.... or so their claimers make it seem. The most recent example of this is Dr. Paul Saladino's video he posted on social media he states that methylene blue actually "decreases ATP production" amongst other rationales for why people should not be consuming this mitochondrial-boosting agent. In the beginning of todays episode, I thoroughly and clearly state my thoughts on Dr. Saladino's hot take.The second topic entails a prelude about deuterium: what it is, how it impacts our mitochondrial function and some strategies to help mitigate its negative effects. We first discuss deuterium, because the research article we cover today is about taurine and its implications for helping the body produce deuterium-depleted water and/or helping the body decrease its deuterium content altogether. This not only has implications for overall health, but countless diseases and cancers as well.
If you found the information in today's episode particularly interesting and/or compelling, please share it with a family member, friend, colleague and/or anyone that you think could benefit and be illuminated by this knowledge. Sharing is caring :)
