Dr. Scott Sherr: How to Boost Energy, Cognitive Function, & Resilience
Dr. Scott Sherr, a leading expert in health optimization, believes that most people are operating with suboptimal brain function—and don’t even realize it. The culprit? Mitochondrial dysfunction, which can be caused by stress, poor sleep, and environmental toxins. In this episode, Dr. Sherr explains how methylene blue, a compound originally developed in the 19th century, is making a comeback as a powerful tool for boosting energy, cognitive function, and overall resilience.
Why Your Brain Needs More Energy
Mitochondria, the “powerhouses” of our cells, are responsible for producing the energy our bodies need to function. As Dr. Sherr points out, the brain is one of the most energy-intensive organs, using 20% of the body’s oxygen supply. When mitochondria aren’t functioning properly, symptoms like brain fog, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating start to appear. Methylene blue helps by improving mitochondrial efficiency, making it easier for your brain to generate energy.
The Surprising Benefits of Methylene Blue
Methylene blue does more than just support mitochondrial function. Dr. Sherr highlights its antimicrobial properties, explaining that it was once used as an anti-malarial drug and remains an effective treatment for certain bacterial and viral infections. It also acts as a neuroprotective agent, reducing oxidative stress and inflammation—two key factors in aging and neurodegenerative diseases.
How to Use Methylene Blue for Maximum Effect
Dr. Sherr recommends starting with a low dose and increasing gradually to find the right amount for your body. He advises taking methylene blue in the morning to enhance focus and energy levels while avoiding it too late in the day, as it can increase wakefulness. For those engaging in endurance activities, methylene blue can help sustain performance by acting like an oxygen booster at the cellular level.
Final Thoughts
Dr. Scott Sherr’s insights into methylene blue and mitochondrial health provide a compelling look at how simple interventions can have a major impact on brain function and energy levels. So whether you’re looking to prevent brain fog, improve endurance, or support long-term cognitive health, methylene blue might be one of the most underrated tools in health optimization.
