Hypertrophy Execution Mastery: The most comprehensive MI40 muscle-building program EVER!

Show Notes/Description:

What if the most powerful performance compound on the planet isn’t a peptide, hormone, or exotic supplement, but a 150-year-old medicine that’s been hiding in plain sight? In this solo episode, Ben Pakulski dives deep into methylene blue: what it does at the cellular level, why it matters specifically to men over 40, and what the science actually says. From a landmark University of Texas brain scan study showing a 7% memory boost to Ben’s own 30-day personal trial, this episode is equal parts science class and honest self-experiment. If you’re battling brain fog, afternoon energy crashes, or declining mitochondrial function, this one is essential listening. Don’t miss it.

Points To Watch Out For:

  • The 150 year old compound the WHO endorses
  • How methylene blue acts as a mitochondrial electron shuttle
  • Research proved a 7% memory boost during test taking
  • Ben’s protocol to cut his caffeine
  • Methylene Blue benefits and dosing for men over 40.
