The Power of Methylene Blue and Full-Body Red Light Therapy

By Reine DuBois, Integrative Naturopath & Clinical Director of The Health Lodge

At The Byron Bathhouse, we combine full-body red light therapy panels with clinically guided methylene blue (MB) therapy to enhance brain function, boost energy, and promote longevity. These therapies, when used together, create a powerful synergy that supports mitochondrial health, cognitive clarity, and cellular regeneration—making them a go-to biohacking tool for high performers, wellness seekers, and those looking to prevent neurodegeneration.

How Methylene Blue Supercharges Your Mitochondria

Low-dose methylene blue (MB) acts as an electron cycler, optimizing mitochondrial respiration and ATP production (Zhang et al., 2006). Research-backed benefits include:

  • Enhanced Brain Function & Mental Clarity – Supports oxygen utilization and cognitive sharpness (Rojas et al., 2012).
  • Increased Cellular Energy (ATP) – Fuels brain and muscle performance.
  • Neuroprotection & Anti-Aging – Helps prevent cognitive decline and protects neurons from oxidative stress (Wong-Riley et al., 2005).

Methylene blue requires precise dosing. As an integrative naturopath, I work with clients to determine the safest and most effective protocol. Book a consultation to ensure you’re using MB correctly.

Full-Body Red Light Therapy at The Byron Bathhouse

Our whole-body red light panels at The Byron Bathhouse use near-infrared wavelengths (620–1150 nm) to penetrate deep into tissues, stimulating mitochondria and cellular healing. Benefits include:

  • Boosted ATP Production – Increases energy, recovery, and resilience (Rojas & Gonzalez-Lima, 2011).
  • Brain Detoxification & Repair – Reduces inflammation and oxidative stress.
  • Optimized Circulation & Oxygen Uptake – Enhances cerebral blood flow and skin health.
