This conversation challenges conventional medicine and reframes what “standard of care” should look like for human health and longevity.Dr. Scott Sherr is an internal medicine physician specializing in Health Optimization Medicine (HOME) and hyperbaric oxygen therapy. He is a leader in mitochondrial health, redox biology, and cellular resilience, with a clinical focus on optimizing metabolism, sleep, and nervous system balance. Dr. Sherr is also a key educator on the clinical use of methylene blue and serves as a strong advocate for shifting medicine from disease treatment to proactive health optimization.Connect with Dr. Scott SherrWebsites: https://www.hyperbaricmedicalsolutions.com/integrative-hbot/scott-sherr,  https://troscriptions.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/drscottsherr/?hl=en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/integrativeHBOT/Connect with Dr. Ivan RusilkoInstagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/drivanrusilko/?hl=en⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/ivanrusilko/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠DISCLAIMER: The content herein is for educational and entertainment purposes only, containing opinions of the participants, and is not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.
