It's stuck — and there's a very specific reason why. 94% of U.S. adults have some degree of mitochondrial dysfunction. That means the majority of people walking around right now can't make energy efficiently — and they're using caffeine, stimulants, and willpower to paper over it. Dr. Scott Sherr has spent over a decade figuring out why, and more importantly, how to actually fix it. Board-certified in internal medicine and one of the leading voices in health optimization medicine, Dr. Sherr introduces one of the most important concepts Dr. G has heard in a long time: the sympathetic spiral of doom — the feedback loop between chronic stress and mitochondrial breakdown that keeps you wired, exhausted, and unable to heal no matter what you try. In this episode, you'll discover: • Why more caffeine, more supplements, and more biohacks are making the spiral worse — and what to do instead • The GABA system: why depression and anxiety may have nothing to do with serotonin, and everything to do with your brain's brakes failing • The leaky gut → leaky brain connection most doctors have never heard of • How methylene blue works at the mitochondrial level — and why dose and source matter more than you think • What it actually means to optimize your health back to the resilience of your 20s — at any age If you've seen 10 doctors, tried every supplement, and still feel like you can't recover — this episode is the missing piece.

We talk with Dr. Scott Sherr rto talk health optimization from the practical to the “hold up… what?” level.We get into light and red light therapy, mitochondria and metabolism, nitric oxide (and why mouthwash can wreck it), the “toxic bucket” concept for modern exposures, EMF/5G concerns and mitigation, and why environment matters more than most people think.Then we go deeper: psychedelics, default mode network, ketamine and integration, marijuana risks for younger users, and how perspective and nervous system regulation can change the game for recovery, sleep, and performance.Special perks for our listeners below!
In this episode, we're joined by Dr. Scott Sherr to break down how the nervous system actually drives performance, recovery, sleep, and long-term health.We dive into sympathetic vs parasympathetic balance, why being overly stimulated before training can limit gains, how to down-regulate between sets and after workouts, and why many people struggle with sleep even when they “do everything right.”We also cover cortisol rhythms, late-night training, GABA, melatonin misconceptions, recovery strategies, and why optimizing health isn't about one supplement—it's about the whole system working together.Special perks for our listeners below!
94% of U.S. adults are metabolically unhealthy. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Scott Sherr, internal medicine physician and hyperbaric oxygen therapy expert, to unpack how damaged mitochondria, toxins, mold, and chronic stress trap the body in a sympathetic “spiral of doom,” making true healing impossible. We explore why trying to calm the nervous system without cellular support can backfire, the overlooked role of GABA in mood and sleep, when hyperbaric oxygen actually helps, and practical strategies to finally shift out of survival mode, because taking care of yourself isn't selfish, it's the foundation of real health.
Oh hey y'all.I have wanted to have this conversation for a long time, and Dr. Scott Sherr absolutely delivered.We get into what mitochondria actually do, why almost all of us are dealing with some level of dysfunction, and how energy production sits at the center of mental clarity, recovery, stress resilience, and overall health.This is one of those episodes that completely shifts how you think about your body.We also talk about methylene blue, why the internet both loves and fears it, and how to think about nervous system training, oxygen therapy, and health optimization without getting overwhelmed.This one is science heavy but incredibly practical, and honestly, I did not want it to end.Highlights:(03:09) Why mitochondria might be the missing link in modern health(09:08) The real reasons energy production breaks down over time(16:18) What health optimization medicine actually means in practice(20:30) Methylene blue explained without the hype or fear(36:25) Hyperbaric oxygen therapy, when it helps and when it does not(42:05) Building health long term while still feeling better nowConnect with Dr Scott:https://www.linkedin.com/in/drsherr/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/troscriptions/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/onebasehealth/https://www.instagram.com/troscriptions/ https://www.instagram.com/drscottsherr/https://www.instagram.com/onebasehealth/ https://www.instagram.com/homehopeorg/Qualia Mind - click hereCoupon Code: SHOCKANDYALL (15% off any purchase)Visit Nicole's on demand fitness platform for live weekly classes and a recorded library of yoga, strength training, guided audio meditations and mobility (Kinstretch) classes, as well: https://www.sweatandstillness.comGrab Nicole's bestselling children's book and enter your email for A FREE GIFT: https://www.yolkedbook.comFind Nicole on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/nicolesciacca/Tik Tok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thenicolesciaccaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/nicolesciaccayoga/Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1X8PPWCQa2werd4unex1eAPractice yoga with Nicole in person in Santa Monica, CA at Aviator Nation Ride.

You need stress to adapt, grow and survive, but at a certain point it becomes highly toxic to your body, creating a phenomenon called a "cell danger resposne", which is a survival state where your cells stop prioritizing healing and shift into defense mode instead, because it thinks you're under threat. Even though this is designed to protect you, in today's modern world, it actually creates disease. TOPICS DISCUSSED: Why chronis stress is actually a cellular problem (not just psychological) Why trauma, toxins, infections and overtraining all land in the same biological pathway of "stress" Why even the most powerful supplements fail when your nervous system is stuck in "fight-or-flight" mode Why healing isn't about doing more, but simply teaching your body that it's safe again.

When fatigue lingers, it can be a sign that the body's ability to produce energy isn't functioning the way it should. Could that be what's happening in your case?. In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Scott Sherr to explain why energy dysfunction is so common in chronic illness, and how methylene blue is being used clinically to support mitochondrial function, oxidative stress balance, and detoxification.I also explain why this topic is especially relevant for people with thyroid and autoimmune conditions, based on what I see regularly in practice. We finish by discussing nervous system regulation, GABA support, and why calming the stress response is often necessary before energy can truly improve.If you've been feeling worn down despite “doing all the right things,” this episode will help you think differently about what your body may actually need.Episode Timeline: 00:02 – Episode Introduction01:43 – Dr. Scott's Background06:26 – When Hyperbaric Helps08:59 – Hyperbaric and Chronic Illness12:51 – What Is Methylene Blue13:10 – Why Methylene Blue Helps18:04 – Why Energy Breaks Down19:09 – Detox and Antioxidant Support23:09 – Antimicrobial Effects Explained26:59 – Acute vs Chronic Dosing29:20 – Methylene Blue for UTIs32:04 – Safety and Side Effects37:33 – Thyroid and Autoimmune Support38:55 – Energy Changes in Thyroid Patients41:54 – Who Should Not Use42:16 – Product Quality Differences51:55 – Understanding the GABA System52:41 – GABA, Anxiety, and Sleep59:49 – When GABA Support Helps1:03:06 – Final Thoughts and ResourcesAbout Dr. Scott Sherr: Is a Board-Certified Internal Medicine Physician certified to Practice Health Optimization Medicine (HOMe) and a Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) specialist.

In this second part of the conversation, Dr. Scott Sherr returns to unpack one of the most fascinating compounds in modern mitochondrial medicine — methylene blue. Once used as the first FDA-approved antimicrobial drug, methylene blue is now being rediscovered as a powerful mitochondrial optimizer that helps the body both produce and detoxify energy at the same time. Dr. Sherr breaks down how it enhances ATP production, improves focus, endurance, and recovery, and even helps with travel fatigue and brain fog. He explains how methylene blue works at the cellular level, why quality and dosing matter, and clears up common myths and controversies — including its relationship with nitric oxide, serotonin, and safety concerns. Whether you're an athlete, entrepreneur, or anyone seeking more consistent, sustainable energy, this episode will help you understand how to use methylene blue safely and effectively to support performance and longevity.

Ready to boost your energy and future-proof your health? In this episode, I'm joined by expert neuroscientist Dr. Siobhan Mitchell, who breaks down why your mitochondria—the tiny powerhouses inside your cells—are the secret to healthy aging. She explains how the perimenopause and menopause transition is not just hormonal, but a neuroendocrine shift that impacts your brain, mood, energy, AND vitality. And even if you're doing your best to bring on lifestyle recommendations for optimizing mitochondrial health, odds are you still need more support than just that in midlife. So, that's where the supplement MitoQ comes into play. As MitoQ's Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. Mitchell reveals how this advanced antioxidant works deep inside your cells to enhance mitochondrial function, boosting mental clarity and long-term longevity. Tune in and discover how to fuel your energy, elevate your mood, and embrace midlife feeling stronger than ever! Dr. Siobhan Mitchell Siobhan Mitchell is the chief scientific officer of MitoQ. She completed her PhD at SUNY Albany and a post-doctoral fellowship on brain aging at the University of Washington. Siobhan has held roles at the three largest food companies in the world (Unilever, Nestle, and Pepsico), leading trials worldwide, which researched the effects of nutrition on cognitive decline, mood, and performance. She was also senior director at Noom, where she directed a team investigating chronic disease management, weight loss, and mental health digital programs using cognitive behavior therapy methods. IN THIS EPISODE Why mitochondria are a key contributing factor to aging Preventing menopause symptoms in relation to brain changes Research on estrogen levels in menopause for longevity Lifestyle changes for enhanced cognitive functioning The impact stress has on your mitochondrial function How to notice if your mitochondria aren't working well How MitoQ supplementation boosts cell vitality and longevity Ways to measure your mitochondrial function QUOTES“You get these overactive mitochondria that are also producing energy and oxidative stress at much higher levels, and these oxidative stress mechanisms can also bring on faster aging through inflammation and things like that.” “[MitoQ] is basically helping protect your mitochondria from excessive oxidative stress. It gets into the mitochondria better than any other supplement on the market because it was especially engineered to have this tag that allows it to get into the mitochondria up to [about] 90%.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Order my new book: The Perimenopause Revolution https://drmariza.com/book Use code DRMARIZA and get 15% off your order of Silverbiotics https://silverbiotics.com/discount/drmariza Use code: ENERGIZED for 10% off your order of MitoQ HERE! http://mitoq.com MitoQ on Instagram Siobhan on X RELATED EPISODES #688: Unlock Cellular Energy and Longevity with Urolithin A + Mitochondrial Optimization with Jen Scheinman #653: Mitochondria, Menopause & Metabolism: The Cellular Secret to More Energy After 40 with Dr. Felice Gersh #663: From Wired and Tired to Calm and Energized: The GABA-Mitochondria Connection + How to Fix It at the Cellular Level with Dr. Scott Sherr #623: Red Light Therapy for Upgrading Your Mitochondria, Cellular Energy, Skin and Brain Health with Jonathan Otto #690: The Perimenopause Revolution: Why midlife isn't the end — it's the beginning of your most energized, powerful, and vibrant self

QUOTES “Other things we saw in that study were improvements in things like inflammatory markers, which we know chronic inflammation is a huge issue as we start to get older. We saw specifically C-reactive protein was lowered, and we saw other markers of muscle health that, while they didn't make statistical significance, they were trending that way.” “It stays very potent and very localized– a benefit to the skin. So you're having that same cellular turnover of the mitochondria, basically making the mitochondria in your skin act in a more youthful way.” “Even just after 2 weeks, we start to see improvements that are visibly noticeable. And then when we take that out to 8 weeks, it's statistically significant improvements in wrinkle reduction and in wrinkle depth. So, [it's] really powerful but gentle.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Get your free VIP ticket to the Perimenopause Solution event https://hayh.site/pr_bl_ap-snyder_a_snyder Order Mitopure (Urolithin A) at Timeline HERE with discount code ENERGIZED for 20% off your purchase! https://timeline.com/ENERGIZED Timeline on Instagram Jen Scheinman on Instagram RELATED EPISODES 663: From Wired and Tired to Calm and Energized: The GABA-Mitochondria Connection + How to Fix It at the Cellular Level with Dr. Scott Sherr #653: Mitochondria, Menopause & Metabolism: The Cellular Secret to More Energy After 40 with Dr. Felice Gersh #623: Red Light Therapy for Upgrading Your Mitochondria, Cellular Energy, Skin and Brain Health with Jonathan Otto 595: How to Master Your Metabolism and Reverse Cellular Aging in Midlife + My Best Tips to Thrive with Dr. Mariza

You know when you feel like you're constantly going through the motions between work, family, and endless responsibilities—but inside, everything feels flat? That's the reality of high-functioning depression. In this episode, I'm joined by the talented psychiatrist, author, and nationally recognized expert in women's mental health, Dr. Judith Joseph, to unpack what high-functioning depression really is. We dive into the secret signs of high-functioning depression, especially in midlife, and why it often goes unnoticed in women who seem to have it all together. Dr. Joseph shares powerful strategies and practical tools to help you move from surviving to truly thriving. We also discuss how to recognize when a loved one might be struggling behind the mask of success—and how to offer meaningful support. If you feel emotionally drained despite keeping it all together on the outside, this episode will give you the clarity you need for more happiness in your life.

IN THIS EPISODE Warning signs for high-functioning depression in midlife Understanding the science of happiness Most common symptoms of high-functioning depression Why many high-functioning people have trouble slowing down The difference between happiness and joy Strategies for navigating high-functioning depression How to support a loved one with high-functioning depression QUOTES “People who go through perimenopause and menopause often mask how they feel just to show up for the job and for others. So they often have this underlying high-functioning depression that is made worse [from] hormonal fluctuations.” “Gratitude practices are really helpful in staving off high-functioning depression or sustaining your joy. It's hard to be grateful when you don't know what brings you joy.” “Don't give up. You may feel hopeless, but know that there's always something you have not tried. There's always hope. That's why I like the idea of support groups, because many times you not only help others with your story, but you also learn from other people.” RESOURCES MENTIONED

In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Scott Sherr, a board-certified internal medicine doctor and expert in integrative and hyperbaric medicine. He's shining a light on a little-known brain chemical called GABA — often described as your brain's “off switch.”Dr. Sherr believes GABA deficiency is one of the most overlooked drivers of mental fatigue, stress, and sleep issues today. And more importantly, he shares powerful, practical ways to support GABA naturally — beyond just popping supplements. We're talking cutting-edge tools like medicinal mushrooms (a.k.a. fungiceuticals), targeted lifestyle shifts, and more.For full show notes and transcript: https://drgundry.com/dr-scott-sherrThank you to our sponsors!

Methylene Blue, GABA, and What Your Mitochondria Actually Need In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Scott Sherr to unpack two of the most talked about tools in metabolic and brain health: methylene blue and GABA. If you're dealing with supplement fatigue, burnout recovery, post-surgical healing, thyroid issues, or perimenopausal symptoms that no one seems to have answers for, this conversation is the reset you've been looking for. We start with methylene blue and why it's gaining attention, what it actually does at the cellular level, and how it supports energy, detox, and overall resilience. Dr. Sherr breaks down how to use it safely, what to look for in a quality product, and how to avoid common mistakes. Then we shift into nervous system support, specifically GABA, and how it influences anxiety, sleep, and focus. Dr. Sherr shares his approach to calming down the stress response and why supporting both energy and relaxation is essential for long-term health. We cover how these two tools can impact everything from mood and metabolism to brain clarity and hormone balance. If you've been trying to piece together a supplement plan that actually works for your body, and your life, this episode is designed to help you simplify and move forward with clarity.

Ever feel wired… yet exhausted? Or anxious… yet depleted? In this episode, I'm sitting down with Dr. Scott Sherr, a visionary physician and expert in cutting-edge mitochondrial and nervous system healing, and he unpacks why so many women in midlife feel overstimulated and underpowered at the same time. We dive into the role of GABA, the calming neurotransmitter your body craves, and why it's often depleted during midlife, contributing to the anxiety, insomnia, and mood dips that leave you feeling unlike yourself. Dr. Sherr also explains how mitochondrial dysfunction silently sabotages your energy, sleep, and even your joy—and what you can do to restore it naturally and effectively. This conversation is packed with practical, science-backed strategies to help you step out of the cycle of stress and burnout and into a state of calm, clear, vibrant energy.

IN THIS EPISODE The biggest factors that shift our metabolic energy What is GABA, and why does it help balance our nervous system? Natural ways to support the GABA system Supplementation to support the GABA system How to support healing and enhance mitochondrial function How methylene blue helps support mitochondrial function About Dr. Scott's nonprofit: Health Optimization Medicine (HOMe) QUOTES “A big thing I've seen recently is tons of anxiety, tons of insomnia, tons of depression related to this inability to calm down, to turn our brains off. And some of those hormones that are transitioning as you go through the perimenopausal state are a big part of this.” If we really want to focus on holistically improving your sleep, relationships, and energy, the primary focus needs to be downregulating your sympathetic nervous system and increasing your parasympathetic with the GABA enhancement aspect.” “That's a really cool way of holistically enhancing the GABA system without causing GABA depletion or GABA deficiency on its own.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Troscriptions: use code ENERGIZED for 10% off all things in the store!
