from The Human Upgrade: Biohacking for Longevity & Performance

Most people try to fix brain fog and focus issues with caffeine or nootropics, but those approaches only mask the problem.This video explains that brain fog begins when the brain’s energy system—its mitochondria—starts to fail, long before any obvious signs of aging appear.Modern stress, poor sleep, artificial light, toxins, and blood sugar swings quietly drain this energy and reduce the brain’s ability to repair itself.It then explains how methylene blue, a well-studied compound with a long medical history, works inside brain cells to improve energy production, protect neurons, and support lasting clarity when used correctly and safely.Thank you to our sponsors! ECHO Water | Go to http://echowater.com/dave and use code DAVE10 for 10% off your ECHO Flask.Generation Lab | Go to http://generationlab.com/, use code Dave20 for $20 off, and see what your body’s really doing behind the surface.Resources:   • Get My 2026 Biohacking Trends Report: https://daveasprey.com/2026-biohacking-trends-report/ • Dave Asprey's Latest News | Go to https://daveasprey.com/ to join Inside Track today.  • Danger Coffee: https://dangercoffee.com/discount/dave15   • My Daily Supplements: SuppGrade Labs (15% Off)   • Favorite Blue Light Blocking Glasses: TrueDark (15% Off)   • Dave Asprey’s BEYOND Conference: https://beyondconference.com   • Dave Asprey’s New Book – Heavily Meditated: https://daveasprey.com/heavily-meditated  • Join My Substack (Live Access To Podcast Recordings): https://substack.daveasprey.com/ • Upgrade Labs: https://upgradelabs.com  See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
