Today, I’m fortunate to have Dr. John Lieurance, a great friend of the show, joining us again; he’s been a frequent guest, sharing his expertise over the years. John Lieurance, ND, DC, RMA, BS, DABCN (Board Eligible), is a chiropractic neurologist and naturopath who has been in private practice for 25 years. He works at Advanced Rejuvenation, a multidisciplinary clinic focused on alternative and regenerative medicine, naturopathic medicine, chiropractic functional neurology, Functional Cranial Release (FCR), Lumomed, Lyme disease, mold illness, and various other neurological conditions. He also travels internationally, teaching other doctors.

In this episode, Dr. Lieurance emphasizes the benefits of melatonin, particularly its influential role in stress resilience and anti-aging. Beyond its well-known effects on sleep, melatonin is produced in every body cell, acting as a protective mechanism against oxidative stress. As we age, melatonin levels drastically decline, which impairs our ability to repair at a cellular level. Dr. Lieurance highlights that supplementing with melatonin can extend our capacity to handle stress, promote deep relaxation, and support healthy aging.

Also, we explore the fascinating properties of methylene blue, a vivid blue salt with a unique affinity for the mitochondria. This compound enhances the body's ability to absorb and utilize red and near-infrared light, which is crucial for cellular energy production. Methylene blue supports the mitochondria, improving their function by approximately 30% and acting as a neuroprotective agent. Dr. Lieurance emphasizes how the body can harness energy from photons, not just food, by absorbing light into the mitochondria.

Tune in until the end of this show with Dr. Lieurance as he dives into how supporting your circadian rhythm, especially through sun exposure, can profoundly impact melatonin production. He shares insights on the power of sungazing, nitric oxide's critical role, and even melatonin's surprising benefits in detoxifying the brain. Plus, Dr. Lieurance speaks about his journey in developing advanced cranial treatments and stem cell therapies that span decades, incorporating innovative techniques from around the world, including regenerative medicine with adipose-derived stem cells that offer groundbreaking potential for conditions like tinnitus, hearing loss, and orthopedic injuries.
