The Accrescent: Bioenergetic Healing

Leigh Ann welcomes Dr. Scott Sherr back to The Accrescent for a deeper conversation on methylene blue and its role in mitochondrial function, cellular energy, detoxification, chronic illness, and cancer support. Dr. Sherr explains the history of methylene blue and how its ability to support electron flow within the mitochondria can create an energetic “floor” for people whose cells are struggling to produce enough energy. Leigh Ann and Dr. Sherr explore why this matters in complex chronic illness, where mold, Lyme, inflammation, medications, chronic stress, and other factors may all contribute to mitochondrial dysfunction. They also discuss methylene blue’s dose-dependent antimicrobial properties and why supporting mitochondrial capacity first may help chronically ill patients better tolerate more intensive detox or antimicrobial protocols later. The conversation takes a nuanced look at methylene blue in cancer care, including why timing may matter around oxidative therapies like chemotherapy and radiation and how it may be used differently during treatment versus recovery. Dr. Sherr also breaks down the different Troscriptions methylene blue products, how he approaches dosing and titration, and why he often combines mitochondrial support with nervous system regulation.

Leigh Ann welcomes Brad Pitzele, founder of One Thousand Roads, for a conversation on exercise with oxygen therapy, or EWOT, and the role oxygen plays in cellular energy, inflammation, detoxification, and recovery. Brad shares his own history with psoriasis, autoimmune arthritis, melanoma, Lyme disease, Bartonella, debilitating pain, and years of treatments that failed to meaningfully improve his health before oxygen therapy became an important part of his recovery. He explains how EWOT combines cardiovascular movement with high-concentration oxygen to increase circulation and oxygen delivery, particularly into tissues that may have compromised microcirculation. Leigh Ann and Brad also compare EWOT with hyperbaric oxygen therapy and oxygen nanobaths, exploring the practical and physiological differences between these approaches. They discuss how oxygen availability affects mitochondrial energy production, inflammation, detoxification, sleep, exercise capacity, and the body’s ability to repair itself, along with why chronically ill patients may need to ease into the therapy slowly. Brad also explains the potential synergy between EWOT and red light therapy, using oxygen first to increase supply and red and near-infrared light afterward to stimulate mitochondrial oxygen utilization.

Leigh Ann welcomes Dr. Lori Bouchard back to The Accrescent Podcast to explore a part of the cancer journey that often gets overlooked - what happens after treatment ends and the scans finally look clear. Dr. Bouchard explains why people can be in remission or have no evidence of disease and still struggle with exhaustion, brain fog, neuropathy, depression, anxiety, hormone disruption, immune weakness, digestive issues, and a general feeling that their body has not recovered. Together, they unpack some of the downstream effects of chemotherapy, radiation, surgery, contrast imaging, chronic inflammation, nutrient depletion, gut disruption, heavy metals, and immune suppression. They also discuss why dormant infections, mold, hormonal imbalances, and metabolic dysfunction may become more apparent after the body has been through intense treatment. Dr. Bouchard shares how individualized testing and data can help guide post-cancer support, rather than relying on standard blood work or a one-size-fits-all recovery plan. This conversation offers a hopeful perspective for anyone who has made it through cancer treatment but is still asking, “Why don’t I feel better yet?” Product Discount Codes + Links FREE Anxiety First Aid Kit Living Libations: Website (Link gives you 10% off) Broc Shot: Website (Link gives 20% off) Episode Links Book: Live Longer & Stronger w/Breast Cancer Book: Cancer Doesn't Own You Dr. Bouchard’s FREE Cancer Screening Guide Guest Info Dr. Bouchard - Website Dr. Bouchard - Instagram Related Episodes Podcast Ep. 235: Dr. Neil Nathan - Three Reasons Why Patients Aren’t Healing from Complex Chronic Illness Ep. 228: Dr. Lori Bouchard - The Missing Pieces in Cancer Care, Metabolism, Trauma, and Whole-Person Healing Ep. 176: Leigh Ann Lindsey - How I Work with Cancer Patients to Address Emotional Root Causes to Disease Work w/Leigh Ann Learn: What is EVOX Therapy?

Leigh Ann welcomes licensed clinical social worker Lisa Arrigo for a conversation on complex trauma, addiction, generational patterns, nervous system survival, and the parts of us that form in response to pain. Lisa shares how her own complicated upbringing, cocaine addiction, recovery, and long healing journey led her into psychology, social work, trauma-informed treatment, and a desire to help people understand the neurobiology beneath their patterns. Leigh Ann and Lisa explore how trauma can begin before conscious memory, including in utero experiences, birth trauma, attachment wounds, generational inheritance, and the early danger signals that shape the nervous system. They discuss complex trauma, addiction, dissociation, parts work, internal protector strategies, and why behaviors that look self-sabotaging are often survival adaptations trying to protect us. Lisa also shares honestly about what helped and what did not in her own recovery, including traditional talk therapy, 12-step recovery, psychoanalysis, EMDR training, somatic work, IFS, and trauma-informed therapy.

In this episode, Leigh Ann welcomes Dr. Michael Bagnell for a conversation on functional neurology, brain injury rehabilitation, migraines, dizziness, neuroinflammation, and what conventional neurology may overlook. Dr. Bagnell shares how his background in chiropractic, physical medicine, applied kinesiology, and brain injury rehabilitation shaped his brain-based approach to healthcare. He explains why symptoms like migraines, chronic headaches, dizziness, light sensitivity, brain fog, anxiety, depression, and cognitive changes often require a deeper look at brain function rather than only imaging, medication, or broad diagnoses. Leigh Ann and Dr. Bagnell discuss how tools like eye-tracking goggles, vestibular testing, QEEG brain mapping, autonomic testing, and multi-axis rotational chair assessments can reveal functional patterns that standard exams may miss. They also explore how concussions, emotional trauma, mold, Lyme, mast cell activation, chronic inflammation, sleep issues, and stress can layer over time and affect the brain’s resilience. This episode reframes brain healing as an active rehabilitation process, where supporting the metabolic environment matters, but targeted neurological stimulation may be needed to help injured or underperforming pathways come back online.
