What if there were tools that could improve your energy, mood, and sleep—without the crash, the pills, or the guesswork?

In this episode, Dr. Anthony Balduzzi sits down with Dr. Scott Sherr, a board-certified internal medicine doctor and COO of Troscriptions—a cutting-edge supplement company delivering science-backed compounds like methylene blue and kava in a unique and highly effective form: the buccal troche. Together, they explore the foundational science of health optimization medicine (HOMe), a powerful framework that shifts the focus from treating disease to optimizing core biological systems like mitochondrial function, the nervous system, and the gut.

Dr. Scott breaks down how methylene blue can help restore energy at the cellular level by bypassing mitochondrial blockages—a game-changer for those struggling with fatigue, brain fog, or post-illness recovery. You’ll also learn why supporting GABA (your brain’s calming neurotransmitter) is critical in a world addicted to stimulation, and how his True Calm troche helps rebalance the nervous system without sedatives or side effects.

Whether you're bio-curious or already deep into the world of cold plunges and creatine, this episode will expand your understanding of how to use targeted tools with purpose—all while rooting your health journey in a truly foundational, sustainable way. Plus, Dr. Scott shares real-world tips for busy parents, traveling professionals, and anyone trying to feel just a little bit better every day.

Key Takeaways:

• Health Optimization Medicine focuses on health, not just disease treatment
• Mitochondrial dysfunction affects over 90% of people and underlies many chronic issues
• Methylene Blue improves energy output and reduces oxidative stress in mitochondria
• Low-dose Methylene Blue (16mg) is ideal for daily mitochondrial support
• High-dose Methylene Blue (50mg+) can act as a powerful antiviral and antibacterial
• The buccal troche delivery system improves absorption and allows dose control
• GABA is the body’s main calming neurotransmitter, often depleted by stress
• True Calm troche supports GABA naturally without dependency or sedation
• Many anxiety meds deplete GABA and lead to long-term imbalances
• Tools like cold plunges or saunas work better when foundational health is optimized
• Methylene Blue can improve jet lag, altitude sickness, and work endurance
• Biohacking must be built on foundational health systems like metabolism and gut
• “Dynamic balance” (not perfection) is the real goal of long-term wellness
• High-quality sourcing and third/fourth-party testing are critical for methylene blue safety
• Troscriptions offers targeted support, but the goal is to eventually need less
