A hormone consultation serves as the cornerstone for understanding and addressing hormonal imbalances that can significantly impact overall health and quality of life. Hormones are powerful chemical messengers that influence nearly every function in the body, from energy levels and metabolism to mood and reproductive health. A consult allows for a deep dive into your symptoms, lifestyle, and medical history to develop a precise, personalized approach to restoring hormonal balance.

This Consult Includes:
1) An evidence-based hormone assessment to identify common hormone-related problems,
2) Ordering and reviewing labs*,
3) Hormone replacement therapy order* as needed.
*Cost of labs and meds not included. 

This consult is an excellent starting point to understanding and treating hormones. It is recommended to sign up for our Sage Balance all-in-one plan, or our Sage Monthly or Quarterly Balance & Thrive plans -- these can help take the extra work, time and energy out of ordering labs and meds, and help keep you on track with your health goals.

Methylene Blue is a synthetic compound first created in 1876. It belongs to a class of chemicals called phenothiazines and was originally developed as a textile dye. Soon after, it was discovered to have important medical uses, and by the early 20th century, it became one of the first drugs ever used to treat infections like malaria. Today, medically pure methylene blue (USP-grade) is recognized for several important actions:

• It acts as a redox agent, meaning it can donate and accept electrons inside the body, helping repair damaged mitochondria and enhance ATP (energy) production.
• It crosses the blood-brain barrier, making it particularly valuable for neurological health.
• It serves as a potent antioxidant, neutralizing reactive oxygen species (ROS) that contribute to aging, inflammation, and cellular damage.
• In high doses, it’s used in hospitals to treat methemoglobinemia, a condition where red blood cells can't carry oxygen properly.
• It also has antimicrobial properties (antibacterial, antiviral, and antifungal).

In functional and integrative medicine, methylene blue is used at low doses to optimize brain function, mitochondrial energy, reduce fatigue, fight chronic infections, and support recovery from environmental toxin exposures.

Methylene blue is a powerful mitochondrial booster, brain protector, and cellular antioxidant originally discovered as a dye but now recognized for major therapeutic benefits at controlled, medical-grade doses.

Methylene Blue (MB) is a synthetic compound originally developed as a dye and later approved for medical use as an antimicrobial and metabolic enhancer. In functional and integrative medicine, it is recognized for its ability to improve mitochondrial function, act as a potent antioxidant, enhance cognitive performance, and support cellular energy (ATP) production. It crosses the blood-brain barrier and is highly bioavailable, making it especially valuable for neurological and systemic therapeutic applications.

Who Might Benefit:Patients seeking to optimize cognitive, mitochondrial, and systemic function may benefit, particularly individuals experiencing:

• Cognitive decline (e.g., Alzheimer’s disease, mild cognitive impairment)
• Chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS/ME)
• Neurodegenerative disorders (e.g., Parkinson’s disease, ALS – experimental use)
• Post-concussion syndrome or traumatic brain injury (TBI)
• Depression (notably treatment-resistant depression)
• Mitochondrial dysfunction (age-related or genetic)
• Chronic infections (e.g., Lyme disease, mold illness, chronic viral syndromes)
• Interstitial cystitis (adjunctive bladder pain management)
• Post-sepsis recovery and cellular hypoxia
• Exposure to environmental toxins (carbon monoxide, cyanide – acute settings)

Standard Dosing Protocols:

• IV Therapy:
  • Frequency: Typically once weekly to once monthly depending on therapeutic goals and patient response.
• Oral Capsule Therapy:
  • It is critical that pharmaceutical-grade (USP) Methylene Blue be used orally to avoid contamination risks.

Important Considerations:

• Patients with G6PD deficiency should not use Methylene Blue due to the risk of hemolysis.
• May interact with serotonergic medications (risk of serotonin syndrome) — careful review of medications is essential.
