Blocking Cortisol Extends Lifespan by Improving Mitochondrial Function

Analysis by Dr. Joseph Mercola

Story at-a-glance

  • Research shows blocking cortisol with mifepristone extended fruit fly lifespan by over 100%, performing better than rapamycin by improving mitochondrial function through enhanced mitophagy processes

How does methylene blue enhance mitochondrial function?

  • By providing additional electrons for the electron transport chain

    Methylene blue integrates into the electron transport chain, cycling between oxidized and reduced forms to enhance mitochondrial efficiency and resolve metabolic issues. Learn more.

  • By permanently donating electrons without cycling
  • By blocking oxidative stress entirely
  • By replacing coenzymes like NADH and FADH
