What is plasmapheresis and how does it work?
This is directly removing inflammatory biomarkers from your bloodstream and directly reducing inflammation. You can see it, you can measure it. And so from there, if we provide your organs, the milieu in which to thrive and you remove the inflammation, all your organs are going to get better, right? And so therefore you're going to avoid chronic disease and reverse chronic disease as well.
When I'm with my patients, I see how busy lives can make it difficult to prioritize our own wellness. Balancing work, family, and personal health can leave little time for appointments, and yet we all need ways to support our energy, muscle recovery, and overall well-being in sustainable, practical ways. That's why I'm impressed by BondCharge's Max Red Light Therapy device.
Red Light Therapy is a non-invasive approach that uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to penetrate deep into the skin. Just a few minutes a day with BondCharge's device can help boost energy, enhance skin health, and support faster recovery, perfect for those of us who need effective solutions at home.
With regular use, I've noticed less muscle tightness, better sleep, and more vibrant skin. This tool has become part of my routine, even during a quick meditation or while winding down in the evening, allowing me to wake up refreshed without middle-of-the-night wake-ups or afternoon dips.

But staying active as I age isn't just about willpower.
It's about giving my body what it needs at a cellular level. The new year isn't about a new you. It's about a renewed you. And that starts with taking care of your mitochondria, the powerhouses of your cells, which naturally slow down as we age. That's where MitoPure by Timeline Nutrition has been a game changer for me.
It contains urolithin A, which promotes cellular renewal and mitochondrial health, helping to address common signs of aging at the root. Backed by solid research, MitoPure helps boost muscle function, endurance, and recovery. I take it daily, and it's been a key part of staying active and feeling younger from the inside out.
No matter what your goals are for 2025, this supplement can help by supporting your health at the foundation. Timeline is offering 33% off your order of Mito Pure while supplies last.

Before we jump into today's episode, I'd like to note that while I wish I could help everyone by my personal practice, there's simply not enough time for me to do this at this scale. And that's why I've been busy building several passion projects to help you better understand, well, you.
