IN THIS EPISODE: (05:13) Greg shares his healing journey using molecular hydrogen (14:10) How Japan has integrated hydrogen therapy into medical practice(18:55) Greg shares his father's story of recovery from arthritis(27:00) Greg talks about the continuing research of molecular hydrogen (34:57) How does hydrogen create these positive results in cellular health(42:52) Quality is keyKEY TAKEAWAYS: Greg shares his journey of overcoming severe health challenges by incorporating molecular hydrogen into his routine. He warns about misleading hydrogen products, particularly hydrogen tablets, which may contain harmful compounds and alter water's pH in undesirable ways.Despite promising results and increasing research, molecular hydrogen therapy remains relatively unknown in mainstream healthcare. Greg noted that Japan has integrated hydrogen therapy into medical practice, while in the U.S., financial interests and misinformation may be slowing its adoption. Hydrogen is significantly smaller than other antioxidants, allowing it to reach deep into the mitochondria and every part of the body where other antioxidants cannot. This makes it particularly effective in combating oxidative stress linked to inflammation and various diseases.QUOTES:(11:08) “It's important to use hydrogen properly because it needs to be safe, but you want it to be effective. So we want it to work.” Greg the Hydrogen Man(21:41) “We don't realize the value of our health until it's jeopardized. Right? And then we realize how little these other things matter.” Jenn Trepeck(36:27) “They put hydrogen there because they had already seen that it was having a positive effect on all these medical conditions.” Greg the Hydrogen Man(37:26) “Inflammation is essentially the source of all sickness, illness, disease. It is oxidative stress, like the rusting of our insides.” Jenn Trepeck(40:04) “Hydrogen is the most abundant element.” Jenn Trepeck(48:51) “When we can increase the nutrient density and the way nutrients reach the different body parts, there's so much possibility.” Jenn TrepeckRESOURCES:Become A Member of Salad with a Side of FriesJenn's Free Menu PlanA Salad With a Side of FriesA Salad With A Side Of Fries MerchA Salad With a Side of Fries InstagramBiostack Over BiohackBecome a Member to Receive 10% Discount off H2 TabsNutrition Nugget: AntioxidantsWhat's Your Biological AgeGUEST RESOURCES:Uprising144K Hydrogen Man - PodcastGreg Hman - InstagramHoly Hydrogen Machine - WebsiteMy Pure Water - Carbon Distiller - WebsiteGUEST BIOGRAPHY: Greg the Hydrogen Man is a molecular hydrogen therapy specialist, researcher, and host of the popular YouTube channel Uprising144K.

Three recent trials investigated the effectiveness of endovascular treatment (EVT) in ischemic stroke. The OPENS-2 trial (Lancet 2025) found that normobaric hyperoxia combined with EVT improved 90-day functional outcomes for large-vessel occlusion stroke without increasing adverse events. The DISTAL trial (NEJM 2025) reported no significant benefit of EVT over medical therapy for medium/distal vessel occlusions and noted a higher risk of hemorrhage. Similarly, the ESCAPE-MeVO trial (NEJM 2025) found no improvement with EVT in medium-vessel occlusion stroke, alongside increased mortality and intracranial hemorrhage. Collectively, these findings suggest that EVT's benefits depend on vessel size and may be enhanced with adjunctive treatments like hyperoxia in specific cases.
In this episode, Regan Archibald dives deep into the world of brain-boosting peptides, nootropics, and biohacking strategies for cognitive enhancement. He explores the importance of cycling nootropics like Cmax, Selank, and NAD+ to prevent diminishing returns and optimize brain function. Regan highlights the role of intranasal glutathione and NAD+ in reducing oxidative stress, improving neuroprotection, and enhancing mitochondrial function. He also introduces cutting-edge peptides like FGL, which show promise in neuroregeneration and cognitive repair. To provide measurable insights into brain health, he discusses the upcoming integration of NeuroCatch technology at East West, allowing for real-time tracking of cognitive improvements. Listeners are challenged to incorporate brain-healthy foods like eggs, blueberries, and dark chocolate while experimenting with nootropics to enhance focus, memory, and overall mental clarity.

Dr. Daniel Vitt, the CEO of Immunic Therapeutics, is taking a different approach to treating autoimmune diseases, focusing on neuroprotection, gut barrier restoration, and anti-inflammatory effects. These dual-mechanism small-molecule drugs are initially developed for multiple sclerosis and inflammatory bowel diseases. The lead candidate for MS aims to reduce relapses, slow disease progression, and help prevent reactivation of Epstein-Barr virus due to the antiviral properties of the oral drug. Daniel explains, "If you look back over the last 20 years, maybe even longer, you figure out that there have been limited improvements in treating big chronic indications like autoimmune diseases. Specifically, looking from the patient's point of view, there are a lot of things missing. So, there are a lot of indications that are untreatable or not sufficiently solving the medical need or a lack of convenience for use, for example. Another thing that is highly underestimated usually is the safety and tolerability of the drugs. And it's our mission to work on having better drugs with better safety and tolerability profiles to offer patients more convenient and easy-to-use therapies." "That is something currently not addressed by the drugs available for patients today. Therefore, our drug is making a difference because our mode of action is a dual mode of action. On the one hand, the molecule is a potent anti-inflammatory drug by inhibition of a protein called DHODH. Secondly, we also have our molecule, a very good activator of a protein called Nurr1. This is a neuroprotective factor and plays an important role in the different areas of the brain, directly in the neurons in the brain, but also in the environment of the brain. That is why we believe Nurr1 activation is a key step forward to treating patients and offering a better benefit for slowing down the disability." "This is because quality of life is one of the important parameters for judging whether a drug does its job or not. We need to address this more in our industry, and therefore, I agree that it's an important piece. And with gut wall repair, you're more on the side of ok, maybe we can fix the problem in general and the body returns to normal behavior. So, in a perfect world, in further clinical trials, we can see cases of patients who maybe flip back to healthy status or disease-free status or something like that, for example, in celiac disease or other GI indications." #ImmunicThera #MultipleSclerosis #MS #AutoimmuneDiseases #InflammatoryDiseases #EpsteinBarrVirus #UlcerativeColitis #IBD imux.com Download the transcript here

In today's episode, we will pick up where we left off last week during my "podcast" presentation of The Mitochondrial Triad lecture I gave last month in Rome. Undoubtedly, you are getting more nuggets of wisdom in this podcast version, as I am able to go down various rabbit holes and dig deeper into the details since there are no time constraints. For example, today's episode that is entirely on the topic of methylene blue is longer in duration than my entire presentation at the symposium in Rome. Last week, I covered the first two topics of my talk: mitochondria (i.e., why they are important for health and why mitochondrial dysfunction is the bane of wellness and healthspan) and red light therapy. This week, again, we will cover the topic of methylene blue (MB) in great depth; including the history of MB, the mechanisms of MB, the health benefits and correlative research on MB, and considerations surrounding MB for those deliberating the potential use of MB for their health and wellness goals.

Send me a text!Introduced by German chemist Heinrich Caro as a textile dye in the 19th century, methylene blue soon attracted the interests of notable scientists like Robert Koch and Paul Ehrlich. Recognizing its unique antimicrobial properties, they helped transition it from textile labs to medical clinics. By the early 20th century, methylene blue had gained recognition as an innovative malaria treatment, a role it continues to have today. Methylene blue may also offer a wide range of other significant health benefits, beyond fighting infections. By acting as an “electron donor”, methylene blue supercharges your mitochondria, or the powerhouses of your cells. Join me as I sit down with Dr. Scott Sherr, MD, and explore how this incredible compound is currently being used to treat chronic illness, boost cognitive functioning, improve energy, reduce inflammation, and even offer anti-aging benefits.Suggested Resources:Dr. Scott Sherr | InstagramTroscriptionsThe Potentials of Methylene Blue as an Anti-Aging DrugMethylene Blue–Mediated Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy Against InfectionFrom Mitochondrial Function to Neuroprotection-an Emerging Role for Methylene BlueThis episode is proudly sponsored by Qualia Life.
