Architect of Resilience Cell Med #11: The Dark Side of the Blue Pill: When Methylene Blue Misses the Mark
Chris Duffin sits down with Anthony Castore to dig into the buzz surrounding methylene blue—dubbed by some as a miracle for boosting mitochondrial efficiency and ATP production. But is it really the game-changer it's hyped up to be? Together, Chris and Anthony break down what methylene blue is, why people are jumping on the bandwagon, and crucially, why they aren't recommending it for everyday use.
From mitochondrial function and the importance of nitric oxide in everything from heart health to brain power (and yes, even erections), to alternative ways of optimizing your body's resilience, this episode is all about cutting through the hype and focusing on what really works for strength and long-term health. Tune in as they share practical insights, expert-backed alternatives, and a dose of real talk about supplements and strategies to help you maximize your longevity and vitality.
Optimize with Other Proven Methods: Strategies like red light therapy, NAD+ restoration, and compounds such as CoQ10 or GHK-Cu often deliver benefits without the side effects—helping you build resilience and physical health, safely.
