Melatonin: The Dose Doctors Get Wrong

Most people take 1–3 mg for sleep. The research on melatonin as the master brain detoxifier tells a very different story.

Melatonin isn't a sleep supplement. It's the most powerful antioxidant your brain makes — and the way conventional medicine doses it is upside down. Here's what the research actually shows, and how we use it inside Foundation and Concierge protocols.

What you'll learn

  • Why the 1–10 mg sleep dose is pharmacologically wrong (and what 0.3 mg actually does)
  • The high-dose (60–180 mg) protocol used in mold, Lyme, traumatic brain injury, and oncology research
  • How melatonin clears amyloid, glymphatic 'brain sewage', and inflammatory mitochondrial waste while you sleep
  • Why cortisol — not melatonin — is the real reason you can't fall asleep at 11pm and wake up at 3am
  • The cortisol-melatonin seesaw and how to test it (DUTCH cortisol curve, not a single blood draw)
  • Who should NOT take high-dose melatonin (autoimmune flares, certain hormone-sensitive cancers, pregnancy)
  • How we sequence melatonin inside a Foundation 90-day plan — and why it's almost never first
