A problem with that, you likely know it if you have brain fog, if you have infertility, if you have cardiac or detoxification issues, if you have muscle, if you have exercise-induced fatigue, these are mitochondrial issues.

And so you can use something like methylene blue, which happens, you're going to get inside the system very quickly, and you can start seeing benefit very, very fast, energy better, inflammation better, brain fog better, exercise-induced fatigue better, while you're doing the other work of optimizing your

behavior, lifestyle, diet, along with doing the testing and seeing where you can work in the system itself to kind of target and to support the mitochondrial energy production system, detoxification system, et cetera.

Yeah. So there's a couple of different tests. The one that I typically use is the organic acid testing, which is urine-based. There are a couple tests out there that purportedly can give you a sense of mitochondrial health. But those tests are pretty new. I don't, you know, Dr. Youth and I have actually had discussions about this.

Dr. Elizabeth Youth, we don't believe some of the other testing out there. It may be kind of like the Oura Ring where you can watch things over time and see things change. But even that, I'm not even sure about. I mean, we just don't know yet. There's something called the mito swab, for example, that may be good, but I just don't have enough personal knowledge experience with it.

And I know Dr. Yurta was feeling the same way when I asked her about this not too long ago. So there really are, there's a couple other ways to do mitochondrial testing, but they're pretty invasive. You can get like a punch biopsy. You can get like a biopsy of muscle and look at mitochondrial function.

There's also this really cool machine out of Belgium that does mitochondrial testing, but it's very, very expensive. Actually, a really cool side note there is that the guy that invented it, the demonstration that he makes is he has it hooked up to him in an area of his skin, and then he rubs cyanide cream, just like very 1% cyanide. And what you can see happen is that

And what you can see happen is that

the electron transport chain, the mitochondria goes down to zero because cyanide is a mitochondrial poison. And so actually the antidote for cyanide poisoning is actually methylene blue because it can rescue the mitochondria and prevent you from dying from cyanide. So if you're going anywhere that you might get cyanide poison, you should always have methylene blue with you. And that's for sure.

But I hope nobody listening has that particular adventure ahead of them. But In essence, they were able to prove that you're actually looking at mitochondrial ATP production and the utilization of oxygen by showing that you can use cyanide on the skin and see how their oxygen, their energy capacity, their energy production capacity goes to zero. Pretty cool, actually.

But I would try that at home, ladies and gentlemen.
