Episode Details

It seems that methylene blue (MB) has continued to capture the attention on those looking to optimize mitochondrial health — and for good reason. After all, it may be one of the easiest and fastest way to improve mitochondrial function. But remember that third pillar of The Mitochondrial Triad? Yeah, that C60 thing... Perhaps it hasn't gotten as much love on this podcast and/or may be even lesser known than MB. But trust me when I say that C60 is second place to no one when it comes to optimizing cellular energy and mitochondrial function, which, ultimately leads to efficient energy and biological water production.

In today's episode, I want to take a deeper dive into C60 and discuss the science of how it can contribute to mitigating diseases while also markedly boosting healthspan and longevity. For that, we'll be reviewing some of Chris Campbell's book, C60 Science: The God Molecule Hypothesis. Quite the book title, right? But the theory posited by Chris it quite intriguing. Needless to say, after this discussion you will see why C60 earned its spot in The Mitochondrial Triad and should be highly considered for anyone that has a mitochondrion in their body.

For the red light therapy side of things, I review an ahead of print photobiomodulation research article (it doesn't get officially published until June!) that looks at treating the gut and brain ​to help reduce chronic stress. The study produced positive results, including: "combined non-invasive photobiomodulation partially restores some gut microbiota dysbiosis induced by chronic stress." Combine this with the vagus nerve treatment via RLT that we learned last week from Abe and we have another triad — this one being a triad of RLT locations to help reduce stress. Non-invasive and non-pharmacological. What's not to like!​
