Scott shares how he moved from conventional trauma medicine to a “health first” model that blends acute-care skills with preventative, performance-focused care, and explains why Health Optimization Medicine (HOME) focuses on mitochondria and cellular machinery instead of band‑aid prescriptions.They dig into why so many people in their 30s–50s wake up exhausted, inflamed, and 30–40 pounds overweight, and how mitochondrial dysfunction shows up as brain fog, mood issues, poor recovery, exercise intolerance, and cardiovascular problems—especially in pilots, shift workers, and high performers. The conversation covers basics like sleep, nutrition, movement, and stress, plus advanced tools Scott uses with athletes and operators, including hyperbaric oxygen therapy and targeted lab testing.Methylene Blue, Troscriptions, and “Just Blue”A big chunk of the episode centers on methylene blue—what it is, why it’s been used for over a century, and how, at the right dose and quality, it can support mitochondrial function, focus, and resilience. Dr. Scott explains how his company Troscriptions creates precision‑dosed troches (lozenges) for brain performance and nervous system support, and why “Just Blue” is one of his go‑to tools for clients who need more mental clarity and stress resilience.Try Just Blue here (affiliate link) and use code Blaise at checkout for a discount:https://troscriptions.com/products/justblue?_pos=2&_sid=d94da5070&_ss=rMore from Troscriptions and Dr. Scott:YouTube – Troscriptions: https://www.youtube.com/@troscriptionsYouTube – Dr. Scott Sherr: https://www.youtube.com/@drscottsherrListen to more episodes:https://bluechipathleticclub.com/podcastPartners & Resources1st Phorm supplements:https://1stphorm.com/66bf90e5bed64Sweet Profections protein cookies (code BLUECHIP10):https://sweetprofections.com/?ref=mhcptczoBuilt Different Mastermind (code BLAISE25):https://www.builtdifferentcommunity.com/feedLogTen Pro / PilotBase pilot logbook (free 3 months):https://logten.com/partner/logten-for-bluechip/DISCLAIMER: Dr. Scott is a licensed physician, but this episode is for educational purposes only.
