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.
