My inspiring and intriguing guest on today's show – the great Dr. John Lieurance of Mitozen – is someone I consider to be the “Dr. Strange” of the medical and biohacking world.

Dr. Lieurance first joined me for the quite popular podcast episode The Crazy Future Of Medical Biohacking: Skull Resets, Suppositories, Nasal Sprays, Nebulizers, Sound Therapy & More…and later for The Shocking Truth About High-Dose Melatonin, Does Melatonin Supplementation Shut Down Your Own Production, How To Use Melatonin To Enhance Fasting & Much More.”

A naturopath and chiropractic neurologist at Advanced Rejuvenation, the founder of Out of Box Doc, author of Melatonin: Miracle Molecule, and crazy mad scientist formulator behind MitoZen, John is my friend and trusted medical adviser.

Dr. Lieurance and I recently announced the official launch of a brand new event that I'll be speaking at entitled Elements of Vitality, in Sarasota, Florida, taking place on Friday, December 2nd. The event is based on the premise of turning to the elements of air, light, water, and earth to overhaul and optimize full body, mind, and spirit health, including harnessing the magnetic healing frequencies of earth, benefiting from the power of photonic light and the sun, properly using potent oxygen therapies and ozone, how to create deeper hydration with water, and much more.

During our discussion, you'll discover:

-How to take Methylene Blue…06:01

  • Francisco Gonzalez Lima cited 5 cases that had thymectomy receiving IV Methylene Blue in very high doses

  • Mayo Clinic retracted that warning: only when you have this surgery should you be careful
  • Canada has also removed this warning, but the FDA has not

-Remarkable benefits of MitoSkin…21:07

  • Melatonin-based skin cream MitoSkin (use code BEN to save 5%)
  • Dr. Lieurance beta tested the cream for a year before release and had incredible results
  • In general, dosing with melatonin during the day does not make you tired because it's the light that your eye gets that prevents the pineal melatonin from activating in the brain
  • Melatonin is the ultimate stress-resilient molecule and the most powerful antioxidant
  • There is a whole chapter in the melatonin book on skincare
  • Ben says it smells amazing!

-How autonomic balancing increases HRV and simulates sleep…35:59

  • Using breathwork and mechanoreceptor activation through certain vibration patterns
  • Guided meditation with the device that creates mechanical stimuli
  • It's like exercising the autonomics; parasympathetic (melatonin) and sympathetic (cortisol)
  • There is this duality, and HRV is based on how balanced the systems are
  • Zen Nasal Spray (use code BEN to save 5%)
  • IRE’ Eye Activation Formula eyedrops (use code BEN to save 5%)

    Aloha Ben & Team

    Pls hold an Elements of Vitality retreat on the Big Isle.
    Best place in the world to experience all 4 elements.
    Fire at Kilauea; air on Mauna Kea; the ocean, the jungle.
    Kalanimua would be a good start.
    Stayed there twice. Have no affiliation.
    Know you’ve spent plenty time in Kona, how about the Puna side ?
    Come visit again, and we’ll show you around, go on the boat I drive, SUP, etc.
    Also sent this request to Dr. Lieurance.
    Thx
