As you may imagine, the origin story of Oat Haus begins well before she started the company in that garage. Many years prior to that, Ali was facing nutritional "information overload" that placed internal pressure on her to eat perfectly all the time, which caused food to become very rigid & stressful. Ultimately, she developed an eating disorder that spanned over 10 years.

Can methylene blue reduce mortality in those critically ill?
How safe and effect is C60 according to a recent toxicity report?
In today's solosode, we're diving back into the research! And it ended up being a sheer coincidence that we're covering each topic of The Mitochondrial Triad. The first article looks at how beneficial photobiomodulation can be for reducing stress when you target both the brain and the gut to enhance mental health via the gut-brain axis. The second article is an abstract of a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials that demonstrates the efficacy and safety of methylene blue for critically ill individuals and perioperative patients. The last study comes from our friends at SES Research where they are studying the toxicity of carbon 60 to verify its safety and efficacy. With C60 being such a new supplement for human consumption, SES Research is going through the necessary and proper steps to demonstrate the safety of this novel and seemingly beneficial molecule. Hopefully, studies like this will help C60 become more widely adopted so that more people can benefit from it.

Don and I crossed paths due to our mutual interest in the blockchain/crypto/web3 spaces. He is personally the CEO of an up-and-coming blockchain company that emphasizes tokenization; a job, as you can imagine, that requires non-stop focus, creativity, high energy, problem solving, etc. and, of course, a lot of time spent in front of a computer screen.
After we went our separate ways in December, Don eventually reached out to me about what he should do to improve his overall energy and focus. Naturally, I highly recommended full-body red light therapy and methylene blue as the two most low hanging fruit. Over the course of the subsequent months, Don went on to trial various red light therapy devices and all of the BioBlue and BioC60 supplements.
His case is very unique in that there were durations of time between his implementation of each modality; thus, he got to experience how only red light therapy impacted his health and energy; then he got to see how BioBlue further augmented his health and wellness; subsequently, he got to witness how his body and brain responded differently with BioBlue Leuco and so on. This candid conversation is a fantastic encapsulation of how any one of the pillars of The Mitochondrial Triad can transform your health, wellness and outlook on life.

The first article looks at red light therapy's impact on mitochondrial dynamics. Some of this may be review, but it's all part of putting the pieces of the puzzle together in this RLT-mitochondria waltz. I continue to be awestruck at the vast potential and efficacious results that can be accomplished with red and near-infrared light.
The second article reviews the impact of methylene blue on COVID-19. Lo and behold, MB is a very powerful anti-viral so we know what the punchline is going to be with SARS-CoV-2. But the review still reveals the many potential mechanisms of action of how MB works to fight off COVID-19 and also provides many clinical studies that had profound results with MB (by itself or when combined with other molecules). Personally, MB is the first line of defense whenever I feel the slightest twinge of my body coming down with a sickness; MB works to completely disallow the sickness from ever manifesting or it helps drastically shorten the course of the virus.

Biohacking Sleep, Travel, Stress & Healthspan w/ Kris Gethin
Thursday Jun 13, 2024
Thursday Jun 13, 2024
Add the following ingredients: bodybuilder turned transformation expert turned biohacker turned healthspan and longevity expert... when you properly mix those constituents together, you get an amazing and insightful conversation with today's guest, Kris Gethin. And Kris can back up what he preaches with a biological age of 26 when he is currently knocking on the door of 50!
Kris Gethin is the world's most recognized transformation expert. With over 150 MILLION users of his transformation programs, nobody can dispute Kris' unrivaled authority of helping people transform their body no matter their circumstances. He has been voted the world's No. 1 Transformation Expert, TWICE! Kris has also recently co-founded and launched his own supplement brand, Unmatched, which, admittedly, are the cleanest and most innovative workout supplements I have ever seen.
In today's conversation, Kris and I cover endless subjects from his top transformation tips to the importance of hydration and being present to Kris's experience with red light therapy and methylene blue to why he co-founded a new supplement company that just launched (Unmatched) to his biohacking traveling tips and much more.
Like most people at the top of their industry (and in Kris's case, the top of multiple industries), schedules are undoubtedly hectic and time is invaluable. But ever since I met Kris and have been communicating with him over the months, he has been nothing short of gracious and generous with his time. You can tell from his voice that he comes from a place of altruism and authenticity and, last but not least, he is a wealth of knowledge in countless health and wellness topics.
I hope you enjoy the conversation today with Kris. Please share this episode with family, friends and colleagues if you find the content especially interesting and/or impactful.

The more I learn about frequency and energy medicine, the greater the appreciation and wonderment I have for its expansive potential for health and wellness. There may be no one more entrenched in learning, treating and spearheading energy medicine than today's guest, Geoffrey Montague-Smith.
Geoffrey is an expert in sound therapy and is responsible for developing Holosonic Sound Therapy method to its current level. He works with an understanding of how frequencies can impact the body, mind and soul. He has developed his method of Interdimensional Medicine over many years.
In today's conversation, Geoffrey enlightens the listeners on a myriad of energetic and frequency topics ranging from Holosonic Sound Therapy that includes his nuanced way of harnessing tuning forks for assessment and treatment, Electro-acupuncture for assessing and treating blockages, Interdimensional Medicine that treats both the physical body and the "light" body, understanding the impact of "generational taint" and how that can affect one's mental and physical health and so much more. Not only is Geoffrey a brilliant mind and practitioner, but he is an absolute dynamo teacher and impeccable at articulating his knowledge.
Geoffrey founded the Atman Clinic in 1995 as a centre of excellence for Holistic Osteopathic Medicine. Geoffrey’s unique holistic approach to his patients’ health means that although he is operating in an evidence based profession, he realizes the importance of a good connection to the more subtle levels of being. As a result of this philosophy his treatment often combines advanced osteopathic techniques with bio-resonance, vibrational medicine and spiritual psychotherapeutics for the treatment of a wide variety of conditions often succeeding where allopathic medicine may have failed.
I hope you enjoy the conversation today with Geoffrey. Please share this episode with family, friends and colleagues if you find the content especially interesting and/or impactful.

Redox Biology & Introducing BioBlue Calm
Thursday May 30, 2024
Thursday May 30, 2024
We will gain a nice overview of exactly what redox is, why it matters and how it impacts all aspects of health. We will turn to Dr. Lee Ostler's book, Redox Matters, to learn the highlights of redox biology and signaling and why it is undoubtedly a foundational aspect of all health and wellness (which should be no surprise given its entanglement with mitochondrial function).
For the second part of the episode I will introduce BioLight's fourth version of BioBlue, which certainly lives up to its name: BioBlue Calm. BioBlue Calm is a blend of six herbs and minerals combined with pharmaceutical grade methylene blue (USP >99.5%) to help promote relaxation and a sense of calm. This recipe includes all of the same ingredients as our flagship BioBlue product minus nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN). We decided to remove NMN because while is not a stimulant, it can be stimulating to our physiology given its properties for improving mitochondrial function and energy production.

- Mitophagy's impact on aging (the mitochondria's process of selective degradation of mitochondria by autophagy). If you can't get rid of the garbage mitochondria, that's a rotten deal for your health.
- Methylene blue's role in combatting oral biofilm (a sticky film that coats teeth and contains bacteria). Our blue friend may actually be playing a beneficial role by temporarily staining your teeth blue. Who wouldn't trade tooth decay, receding gums and bad breath for that?
- Preconditioning your muscles for improved muscular strength, endurance and recovery. In reality, how beneficial is this strategy for the active population?
- Transcranial photobiomodulation for children with autism spectrum disorder. Is this an efficacious treatment for children to mitigate symptoms of ASD?
