Hi lovelies,
This episode, Kirsten and I discuss Methylene Blue. Whether you’re on the perimenopause train or just looking to up your wellness, this 100-year-old drug is worth a look. It’s a go-to in my routine (and Kirsten’s smoothies) lately, so we get into why.
Enjoy!

Methylene Blue 101
03:43 — We’re talking about methylene blue today! It’s not just a random supplement—this is life-changing stuff. We break down what it is, its history (spoiler: it was originally a textile dye!), and why it's getting so much attention in the wellness world.
The Side Effects Are Wild... But Worth It
04:55 — Yes, methylene blue turns your pee and mouth blue (sometimes even green!). But that’s just the beginning. We get into its powerful benefits for cognitive function, energy, and why it cleared up perimenopause brain fog almost instantly.
Wait, It’s Good for Fertility?!
05:21 — One study says methylene blue dramatically increases fertility—not that we’re looking for that right now! But it does highlight how deeply this compound supports cellular health, especially in the reproductive system. This isn’t just about energy—methylene blue is being studied for Alzheimer’s, dementia, Parkinson’s, and even fall prevention in older adults. It enhances spatial awareness, memory, and brain function.
Mitochondria = The Secret to Anti-Aging
07:20 — Methylene blue supercharges mitochondria, which means better energy, anti-aging, and cellular repair. ATP is the “gasoline” of the body, and methylene blue helps fuel it.
The Best Methylene Blue to Buy
11:35 — Not all methylene blue is created equal. Pharmaceutical-grade only! We love Earth Harmony’s tincture and talk about trochies, lozenges, and bars.
Smurf Vibes
11:59 — It’s a little bitter but manageable. Some people put it directly on their tongue, but we prefer it mixed in water or a smoothie to avoid the full blue mouth effect.
The Ultimate Biohacking Combo
16:09 — THIS is the game-changer. Methylene blue + red light therapy = maximized ATP production, anti-aging, and cellular repair. If you’re serious about longevity, this is the hack.
Is Big Pharma Trying to Hide It?
21:37 — Methylene blue is already FDA-approved but can’t be monopolized, which is why most people don’t know about it. Meanwhile, pharmaceutical companies are trying to patent new neuroprotective drugs that include it.

I, Jenny, takes methylene blue 3x/week
Don’t take if you are taking a SSR-I or two weeks before MDMA OR Ayahuasca. But also, none of this is medical advice.
