The Methylene Blue Episode | Solo Biohacking Masterclass  : 1366

The Methylene Blue Episode | Solo Biohacking Masterclass : 1366

Methylene blue is one of the most misunderstood compounds in biohacking, yet it can upgrade your energy, mood, memory, and cellular resilience when you use it the right way. We are back again with another solo masterclass, and this one breaks down how to use methylene blue as a precision tool for brain optimization, longevity, and human performance while avoiding the dosing mistakes that create jitteriness, sleep disruption, or dangerous interactions.

Host Dave Asprey guides you through more than a century of research on methylene blue. He has been hacking this compound since the early 2000s and brings deep insight into mitochondria, neuroplasticity, metabolism, supplements, fasting, red light, ketosis, nootropics, and functional medicine. You will learn how methylene blue works inside the cell, how it improves electron transport, and why it appears in neurology, psychiatry, and anti aging research at the same time. This episode shows you how to test your own dose, how to stack it with light and ketosis for maximum effect, and how to avoid serotonin syndrome or sleep disruption.


Methylene blue also touches nearly every major system that biohackers care about, which is why this solo masterclass shows you how it interacts with mitochondria, neuroplasticity, metabolism, sleep optimization, and long term anti aging pathways. You will hear how it influences redox balance, ATP production, brain optimization, and stress resilience, and how it behaves when combined with ketosis, fasting, creatine, NAD boosters, red light therapy, or other nootropics. Host Dave Asprey explains why methylene blue pairs well with certain supplements but clashes with psychedelics or SSRI medications, how it fits into functional medicine protocols for mitochondrial repair, and how to use data and wearable tracking to dial in your response. This episode gives you a complete framework to evaluate whether methylene blue belongs in your personal longevity strategy and how to use it with precision instead of guesswork.


You’ll Learn:

• Why methylene blue acts like mitochondrial jumper cables and when it improves energy and mood

• The exact signs that your dose is too strong, too weak, or in the Goldilocks zone

• How methylene blue interacts with neuroplasticity, memory circuits, and cognitive resilience

• Why psychedelics, SSRIs, and MAO inhibitors can create dangerous serotonin interactions

• How to pair methylene blue with red light therapy, ketosis, creatine, fasting, or NAD boosters

• The link between mitochondrial health, fertility, libido, and long term anti aging strategies

• How to track sleep optimization, HRV, and performance signals to dial in your personal protocol

• The difference between aquarium grade dye and pharmaceutical grade formulations

• Why genetic testing for G6PD deficiency is essential before higher dose experimentation

#50 New Bulletproof iPhone App, Food Sensitivities & HRV with Ronda Collier from SweetWater Health

#50 New Bulletproof iPhone App, Food Sensitivities & HRV with Ronda Collier from SweetWater Health

The 50th episode of Bulletproof Executive Radio introduces you to a brand new free iPhone app called Bulletproof(R) Food Sense and to the scientist who made it all happen.  Today’s interview is with long time biohacker and founder of Sweetwater Health™, Ronda Collier. Ronda is putting her more than 25 years of experience in high tech to work at SweetWater Health™, where they are looking at the signal coming from the human heart, and instead of seeing beats per minute or simple heart rate variability, seeing a huge pool of big data just waiting to be analyzed using Ronda’s crazy advanced math skills. There is a lot more information in your heartbeat than you’d think – stress levels are just the beginning. By applying mobile health monitoring and stress management with medical research techniques, SweetWater Health is creating some very advanced, very easy to use biohacking technologies. My experience as a bio hacker who used to weigh 300 pounds and really struggled with food cravings, is that every single person has a set of things in their environment or their food that makes them weak. SweetWater Health and Bulletproof Executive just partnered to create the free Bulletproof(R) Food Sense iPhone app to help you find your personal kryptonite by using the phone’s onboard sensors to detect your hidden food sensitivities.   You can also get an amazingly full-featured version of the app that works with a chest strap to measure and track your heart rate variability all day long and use complex algorithms to quantify your food, stress, and overall health. Click here to download your free Bulletproof Food Sense app from the Apple iTunes store.

Bonus: Client Review with Jonathan Kos

Bonus: Client Review with Jonathan Kos

Jonathan Kos is an IT professional and a recent follower of the Bulletproof Diet.  He is a 44 year old IT professional . At 6' 3" and a former college athlete that played football, competitive ice hockey up until the age of 25 he was an extremely fit 220 lbs and my coaches wanted me up to 275 or so to play the defensive line so I was eating literally non stop to put weight on. After college he dropped down to around 200 lbs and eventually settled at for me was a healthy 235.  As he got older and more settled in his job, his weight climbed and he couldn’t keep his weight in check with exercise alone and he started to have to diet he was up to 300 lbs and was exercising more that ever but the weight didn’t come off. After he met his wife, exercise was out the window, a carb heavy diet was in, and his weight ballooned up to 365lbs. He was about to give up until he heard Tait Fletcher on Joe Rogan's podcast mentioning Bulletproof ® Coffee and he gave it a shot. He lost 45lbs in 45 days, and is here to share his experience with you.  See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
