Dr. Scott Sherr: Methylene Blue, GABA, and the Hidden Link Between Mitochondria and Stress
The Energy Blueprint Podcast
Your mitochondria and responses to stress are more connected than you think. In this episode, Dr. Scott Sherr is back to tell us about why 94% of US adults have mitochondrial dysfunction and how chronic stress and inflammation deplete GABA, your brain's primary calming neurotransmitter. We also discuss why methylene blue has exploded from an obscure mitochondrial enhancer to a controversial biohacking trend, how GABA deficiency masquerades as anxiety and depression, and why healing requires shifting from sympathetic dominance to parasympathetic activation. Dr. Sherr shares his 20 years...

Heart rate variability, polyvagal theory, the flaw in trying to HACK the body, and more with Dr. Mel Hopper Koppelman
The Energy Blueprint Podcast
In this episode, I’m excited to welcome Dr. Mel Hopper Koppelman back for the third time! Today, we continue our conversation on the overlooked importance of brain development but go on to explore heart rate variability (and how it can easily be misinterpreted), Polyvagal Theory, and her fascinating, physics-based thoughts on how our heart rate variability connects us to the universe! In this podcast, Dr. Mel and I discuss: An easy way to visualize brain development: the brainstem is the root that grows up into the trunk of our brain and branches off into the right and left...

A Detailed Practical Guide to Dosing Red and Near-Infrared Light Therapy with Dr. Mark Cronshaw
The Energy Blueprint Podcast
I’m back again for my fourth conversation with Dr. Mark Cronshaw, an expert in the world of photobiomodulation (PBM), aka red light therapy. You know that when I have multiple conversations with a guest, I highly value their knowledge and want to go deeper with what they have to share. If you want to get VERY technical and go deep with the topic of PBM, this episode is for you, and I recommend you listen to the prior 3 episodes we’ve recorded together. In this conversation, Dr. Cronshaw presents what he calls his "philosophy of care" for using photobiomodulation to enhance healing,...

Beyond Red Light: Dr. Cronshaw's Revolutionary Approach to PBM Therapy
The Energy Blueprint Podcast
In this episode, I’m back for a third installment of my conversation with Dr. Mark Cronshaw, one of the world’s foremost photobiomodulation (PBM) experts...what most people commonly refer to as red light therapy. He’s particularly one of the top experts when it comes to dosimetry (the details of how to properly “dose” light therapy). Have you invested in red light therapy but feel confused by contradicting information? You're certainly not alone. In this conversation, Dr. Cronshaw challenges conventional wisdom about photobiomodulation with some insights that surprised even me!...
info_outlineIn this episode, I’m speaking with Tom Kerber, a fascinating entrepreneur with a great deal of knowledge and experience (particularly on the engineering side) in the field of photobiomodulation, (aka modifying biology with light).
Approximately 20 years ago, a series of professional and personal events led Tom to shift his career from electronic development to LED device development (like the small blue light device your dentist uses to cure fillings…yes, Tom invented that!).
In part 1 of this two-part series, Tom and I discuss some of the most pressing questions about red and near-infrared light therapy with a focus on how different devices penetrate the body and affect deeper tissues, along with light therapy applications and case studies.
Tom has been developing tools and equipment to do a lot of sophisticated experimentation on penetration depth of red and near-infrared light (which is a much-needed contribution to the field), so I invited him onto the show to discuss his work, which evolved into a 2-part conversation.
