In this Wellness Illuminated episode of LightBody Radio, Dr. Lara May dives into one of the most talked-about compounds in functional medicine and longevity spaces right now: Methylene Blue.

If you’ve been hearing about methylene blue everywhere—from social media to wellness podcasts—you’re not imagining it. But what is it really? And more importantly… is it safe, effective, or just another trend?

In this episode, Dr. Lara breaks down how methylene blue works inside the body, why it’s being revisited in both integrative and conventional medicine, and how it may support mitochondrial function, nervous system regulation, mental clarity, and cellular resilience.

This conversation is designed to help you move beyond hype and into discernment—so you can understand the science, the potential benefits, and the important safety considerations surrounding methylene blue.
