THE SCIENCE
Mitochondria, credibility, and the high-dose research conversation — in one place.
EXPERT VOICES
Before the archive — hear from clinicians advancing supraphysiological melatonin research in public.
Leading advocate
Renowned naturopathic physician and chiropractic neurologist. Founder of MitoZen — one of the most visible clinical voices for high-dose melatonin, mitochondrial medicine, and drug-free alternatives to conventional care.
Dr. Lieurance holds ND and DC credentials (naturopathic physician and chiropractic neurologist, not an MD); his high-dose protocols reflect his own clinical experience and advocacy, not FDA-reviewed or universally accepted medical consensus.
“One of my colleagues who I greatly admire is Dr. Russell Reiter… He’s probably the world’s expert on melatonin.”
“I don’t think that there’s one better anti-aging, life-enhancing substance or biohacking thing that you could do than supplementing with melatonin. Sleep is just a little piece of melatonin. Melatonin is made by every cell in your body. Every mitochondrion makes it to quench oxidation. It’s our primary antioxidant system. It even works in the gut. Melatonin is secreted by the lining of your intestines. And it stimulates microbiome swarming. And so your whole microbiome thrives on melatonin.”
“They recommend for people admitted to the ICU, literally 200 milligrams, twice a day… you can take massive doses.”
