This article dives into the fight against aging, exploring both established practices and cutting-edge technologies.
Solid Strategies:
- Lifestyle is key: Exercise, healthy eating, social connections, and staying smoke-free are proven ways to live longer and healthier.
- Dietary tweaks: Studies suggest calorie restriction, intermittent fasting, and NAD+ supplementation might have promise.
- Wellness Treatments: Cold Plunge, Infrared Sauna, and alternating the two with what’s called Contrast Therapy, leverages the body’s production of cold shock and heat shock proteins. These proteins have a cascade of positive effects on one’s health, performance and recovery.
The Cutting-Edge Zone:
- Pharmaceuticals showing promise: Metformin, Rapamycin, and GLP-1 peptides are being used for their anti-aging effects, but their benefits and risks are debated. It’s important to work closely with a medical provider to assure safety and efficacy. Berberine is a suggested potential alternative that has anti-inflammatory properties, and can help kick-start your weightloss journey.
- New frontiers: Techniques like clearing senescent cells, boosting stem cells, and epigenetic reprogramming have shown promise in our patients as well.
The Future of Aging:
Regenerative Medicine treatments and tactics are key when considering longevity bio-hacks, and taking your health and performance to the next level. Some of the regenerative treatments we’ve seen great results with our patients include:
EBO2 (Extracorporeal Blood Filtration, Oxygenation, Ozonation and Photomodulation):
- Using one of two IV lines, blood is removed from the patient’s body.
- The blood goes through multiple steps of filtration and then undergoes ozonation, oxygenation, and photomodulation (with Red Light and UV light).
- The blood is immediately returned to the patient’s body using the second IV line.
- When the blood is returned, it will have a noticeably different color – a very bright red, whereas previously it was dark red with visible particles in it before being “cleaned.”
- This entire process lasts between 45 and 90 minutes.
VSELs (Very Small Embryonic-Like Stem Cells):
- A sample of blood is collected.
- VSELs are separated from other cells using state-of-the-art cellular processing technology.
- Once isolated, the VSELs are exposed to very cold temperatures simulating hypothermia, which is known to activate VSELs.
- Finally, we combine the VSELs with powerful growth factors harvested from your own blood sample.
- The active VSELs are now returned to your body via IV.
- Once in your blood-stream, the VSELs will go to work immediately, seeking out areas of inflammation and injury.
- Patients report seeing and feeling the positive effects of their treatment anywhere from 2 days to 6 months post treatment.
