The Biofilm Breakthrough: Red Light, Methylene Blue & Chlorophyll for Mitochondrial Health What if the root cause of your fatigue, brain fog, and chronic inflammation isn’t aging β€” but a slimy, sticky biofilm choking your cells and starving your mitochondria? This episode breaks it all down: 🧬 What biofilm (aka plaque) really is πŸ’₯ How it suffocates your mitochondria and blocks healing 🌿 Why chlorophyll and methylene blue β€” when stacked with red/NIR light β€” can help dissolve it, liberate your cells, and reboot your health at the root level. For one of my clients, it was like flipping a cellular powerhouse β€” the moment their energy turned back on, brain fog lifted, and their lingering long-haul COVID symptoms finally began to resolve. πŸ‘‰ This episode focuses on one key area to bust biofilm, but for a fuller understanding of how to address the root drivers of imbalance and support healing at the cellular level, I teach a complete system called the Hamel Method.
