Young Plasma, Peptides & Regeneration: My 3-Day Health Reset

I told a few people I was going to do this. They're like, why are you putting a paralytic agent into your penis? So how does this work?

Right, so we inject Botox right into like as if we do the P shot. So we inject along the shaft into the erectile tissue of the penis. And the P shot is using prp. That's the original platelet rich plasma. Platelet rich plasma, the the natural growth factor from your own body. And that will send signal to make the tissue healthier, more collagen, more microcirculation and erection is.

Based pretty much the amount of blood flow into the erectile tissue.

Okay.

Now Botox works by relaxing the smooth muscle outside of all the blood vessels. So it just like open the gate to flow in so that just allow more blood flow into the shaft of the pupils. And therefore another side benefit is that when not stimulated like at rest.

Men also enjoy the size a little bit.

So increase size and girth even if you don't have an erection.

Right.

You guys I'm here with.

Your name is like the one I probably am the most prone to butcher of all names that I've tried for like the past decade on my podcast, Con Wen.

You got it.

Con Wen.

Perfect.

I'm very phonetic, so your name looks way different than it sounds. Con Wen. I'm just gonna call you Con for the podcast.

Please do.

Okay, so first of all, if you're watching right now, all the shownotes are gonna be@bengreenfieldlife.com regen r e g E N It has been a crazy last few days and I want to hear about your story about how you got into this. But before that, tell me like a brief overview of everything that we've done. It's Friday today. I walked in on Wednesday. And you have basically packed a lot into these three days.

Right? So we've been preparing for this and this is like a typical package that we offer for our clients and a lot of them are from out of town. So day one, what we did was we removed the first liter of your old plasma of my plasma. Of your plasma. And that is you are young and healthy, but still there's still a lot of senescent byproducts, inflammatory products. So we remove one liter and we replace with just a liter of IV vitamin just for the whole body.

Oh, it's like a Myers cocktail kind of thing. So I was mildly functional on Wednesday.

Right. And then follow by the full region face treatment.

Using young plasma. And also we added exosome PRP activated with laser and it's called the V cell stem cell therapy. And then to top off, we did the microneedling using salmon sperm DNA.

Salmon sperm on my face. We will get into this. I have questions about putting salmon sperm on your face, but we'll come back to that. And then, and then, and then you did the thing that I'm sure my wife will be very happy about, but that's also a little bit awkward for some people to talk about. But then we moved to my penis.

Right? So we moved to the penis. And the same thing. We use the same cocktail of potent regenerative products. Young plasma, exosomes, B cell stem cells.

Needles, injections.

Yes, you guys, it's a thing. And it's not as bad as it sounds, but there are needles involved.

Fully numb. Right. So it's not painless, but it's probably one to two.

Max. So we make sure that people are very comfortable.

And on top of that, we added 100 units Botox.

Botox, yeah.

And it's called a Botox, which we'll.

Also talk about because again, my wife was like, why are you gonna get a paralytic toxic injected into your dick? So we did that. And then, and then came the super interesting part with young plasma, which I'm still. If you're watching the video, I'm on my last bag and the bag literally says on the outside of it, I can read this to you. 18 to 25 year old male donor plasma going into my body right now.

So that's part of day two and today. So day number two was to remove the second liter from you for your own plasma. And then we put in two liters of this young plasma yesterday.

What else did we do?

Young frozen plasma. And then we did Shockwave, which was.

Like a treatment on my joints. Yep, we did that. And you, how do you feel?

I feel like I've done a lot of stuff, obviously, but I feel really good. I want to explore in a little more detail what these protocols are, because this is like the future of regenerative medicine. I mean, your place is called awesome Regenerative therapy because it's what you do. But before that, you are obviously not from here.

Right.

And people have mentioned me a couple times. You have a very interesting story of how you got into all this. So tell me about that.

So just real brief. I'm originally from Vietnam. My dad was a physician.

Beautiful place, by the way. I was telling you. I did triathlon there. The food was amazing. The culture of the people Yeah, I.

Want to go back.

So I always wanted to become a physician, and I ended up having to escape as a boat person with my older sister. So we were 14 and 15 at the time, and it's kind of ignorant and desperate because it was very risky and unsafe, but I jumped on the boat out of faith. It's a little raft that only fit 20 people. It's supposed to be a big ship, and it turned out not to be. Most people turn around, and the last minute when the anchor was pulled, I just jump over. I'm like, I really want to be a doctor, and I want to come to America to follow my dream. So I just jump over my sister follow, and we just floating in the ocean for seven days. Midnight, no food, no water.

Anytime there's a little wave, you hear people praying. But we made it to America. We made it to Malaysia.

Okay. I was gonna say America on a tiny boat like that would be quite adventurous.

And the ocean was like a swimming pool. Otherwise, we would not survive. By the time we hit the. From the river to the ocean, the only container of water just knocked over. So no food, no water. We ended up using my raincoat as a sail, and then we kind of licked just one lemon that my grandma gave me. So we all share. We lick on that one lemon, and we just. The condensation from the raincoat. That's how we survived.

How long were you on that boat?

Between seven days. Wow.

About 20 people.

Yeah. 20 people.

Oh, my goodness. Was the boat, like, you had your raincoat as a sail, but was there a motor or anything? You're just floating wherever the water's going to take you, plus your raincoat.

Right.

Wow.

Yeah.

Any navigator? Any person who.

So there was a person who was. I think he was in the military, so he did know a little bit about navigation.

Yeah.

But nothing. I think we Just the wind.

Yeah.

And just by chance, just luck, faith.

And you get to Malaysia.

We got to Malaysia, and I. I'm a very good swimmer, so I was the first one spotted land, and I'm like, okay, there's no wind. We just, like, hanging around. I got impatient. So, okay, I'm gonna jump in. I'm gonna swim in.

And you have to already be a little tired from your water and no food.

So people held me back, and then by the time the Red Cross boat came out, dragged us in, and the minute I landed on the shore, we all collapsed. Like, we have to hold on to our pants because there's no food.

Yeah.

The interesting thing.

Hold onto your Pants to keep them up because you lost so much weight.

Right, right. And I remember we just drifting off, dreaming about water. The no food is no issues, but the water. So then we got to the Philippines.

So that's for the refugee camp. I stayed there for six months learning English, learning, you know, the way of life in America. And then I got to California because my dad served the US army as a physician, so.

I got to come to the US So how old were.

You by the time you.

By the time I got here, I was 15. So I started as a sophomore in high school. Wow. Yeah.

Oh my goodness. Okay, so you get here, you're 15, you start as a sophomore in high school, and then you somehow get into medical school.

So I, I study, I work really hard. I even listen to heavy metal music at night so that I can really understand the language. And I joined the swim team.

You learn English through heavy metal music at night?

Yeah, because I feel if you can.

That sounds so great for sleep.

If you understand heavy metal music, then.

Then you can understand anything. If you can understand men screaming at the top of their lungs with very loud high pitched guitars in the backgr. Okay, I see the logic.

That was very tough.

So I got through high school, got a scholarship to usc, and then ultimately went to medical school. And so dreams do come true.

And.

Since then, I felt like my whole life there's a purpose and there's like a second chance. So every day I'm just grateful and really make the best out of it. And I feel lucky that I just know.

That'S my mission in life. Health, health care, taking care of people.

Where did regenerative therapy come into the scene?

Yeah. So I was a critical care hospitalist doctor for many years. And the last five years I was doing night shift at a hot hospital. So I pretty much in charge of the hospital. And of course things happen at night is in Texas.

Okay.

And from many nights of not sleeping, I got burned out, got diagnosed with grave disease. And then the last.

Is that like a disaster?

It's a autoimmune condition where my body attacked my own thyroid gland.

And.

And then one early morning, driving home from my shift, I kind of fell asleep. And then luckily you were not driving a Tesla. I was driving my Tesla.

Oh, really?

Yeah.

Quite kick in.

Yeah.

The way I was supposed to.

It didn't have that early Tesla. Right.

Okay.

And so that was the wake up call. So I'm like, okay, I need to really take a break, take care of my health and learning about thyroid disease. Autoimmune disease. I went to see endocrine endocrinologist specialist and didn't really get to.

The right answer, the right treatment. And so I started to get into looking around, researching to how to really help myself. So that's how it started. And then I just never stopped. I kind of started to retrain and get more training in the dark side and started.

Did you call it the dark side?

Yeah, because I used to believe my dad was trained as a physician in the French system. So in Vietnam.

All the western medicine, that's, that's the way to go, right?

Traditional allopathic medicine.

So that was my mentality. And so I used to just, you know, just roll my eyes when people say holistic or. Yeah, anything like that.

Holistic, alternative.

Woo, woo, woo.

And yet now the regenerative medicine that you practice might still fit into that category, but this is like the Hot Topic, you know, all the Brian Johnsons and the Dave Asprey's and even.

A lot of big Silicon Valley tech entrepreneurs and billionaires, they're getting into this stuff. So all of a sudden you find yourself at a pretty important nexus, right?

And it's just by chance. And again.

Everything I do is still based on the science behind it. But either you wait long enough.

For certain therapy to be the gold standard to be approved, or you just base, you just look at the research, at the mechanism behind it. And also the test that I use for myself is that if it makes sense, if it's safe enough for me and my family, then it's good enough.

Putting Botox into people's dicks, right? Yeah, exactly. Which we'll get to the way. But I think some of the things that you previewed as we were opening up the podcast are very interesting. I would say probably like, and I don't know if you agree with me, the biggest thing we've done since I've been here has been this plasma exchange. And this is something that many people might kind of sort of be familiar with if they saw back to a guy like Brian Johnson, his documentary Don't Die. The idea that he was using, I think his son's young, healthy donor plasma. This is not from my son, by the way. I didn't talk him into it, didn't run it by him, actually didn't think of that. But this whole idea of fresh, young, frozen plasma, Right. I believe, if I recall, the original research was triggered by rejuvenation of a young mouse when they received the plasma from an old mouse, and vice versa, by the way, the Young mouse became older when it got the plasma of the old mouse. So tell me about this plasma exchange.

Yeah, so I mean we've been fascinated with how to stay young and live forever since the beginning of time. And there's always been a fascination with blood. We just kind of knew that there's something magical about our blood. And then it turned out to be through that breakthrough study, I think in the 50s.

The Parabiosis Study, where they suture the collection of the model study.

With the two mice connected together.

And it's proven the old mouse, when getting the transfusion from the young blood from the young mouse, become.

Physically younger and also.

Improve cognition, able to run around the maze, even cold get.

Yeah, I believe decreased inflammatory markers. I don't know if they tested telomeres, but a general youthfulness effect of the young plasma.

That's correct. And we believe that it's from this perfect complex mixture of all the components of plasma.

There's like over 10,000 of different proteins, the fibrinogen, different fraction of albumin, immunoglobulin, and then there's 5,000 plus of different kind of peptides. As you know a lot about peptides, including the LL37 and the growth differentiating factor, all the growth factors. There's. This is fascinating. Per cc of young plasma that you're getting, there's 1.84 billions of exosomes. So these are. Oh wow. Yes. These are like the messenger tiny vesicle that really send messages and communicate to distance self with like the instruction of what to do a lot of people. Fascinating.

I think think plasma, young plasma exchange is the same as something like blood exchange. But plasma is not the same as blood.

Right, Right. So in whole blood there's a mixture of things. Platelet hemoglobin, white cell count. So when we separate, like the machine that we put you through it will separate out the plasma and then return your blood back to you.

Yeah. So the machine I was connected to, the people will see in the video.

Right.

That will go along with this podcast Again, you go to BenGreenfieldLife.com to see some other videos and photos. But that was pulling blood out of my body via a needle in my arm. And that blood was then somehow having the plasma removed from it and then going back into me.

Right.

Okay.

So it's like a few cycles. I think we have like about four or five cycles. Each cycle it will take your blood through the machine and the centrifuge, separate out the plasma and that pour into the collection bowl. And then your blood get returned back to you.

And with the plasma, my old plasma, before I talk about the new plasma that goes into me, do you do anything with that old plasma? Is there any use for it?

Trash can.

Trash can. So that's just like the old stuff.

We're getting rid of that, right?

Yeah.

Right. And.

So it just known that with age related.

Just, just the aging process and then environmental toxicity medication, the whole mixture, you're healthy. But still, you know, that's still kind of like the.

Right. Maybe an 83 year old would want my 43 year old plasma.

Right, Right.

But then I'm assuming, and I'm sure a billion people are wondering this, like with this plasma I'm getting put into my body. You don't just take plasma willy nilly off the street from some random donor and put it into somebody's body. Where does this come from?

Right. So.

This particular. So in general blasmatri infusion has been around for a long time, actually since the 20s, like after World War I.

That far.

Yeah. They used to treat soldier with shock like in the battlefield.

Okay.

And so they like, oh, there's like, there's something very important and that really help with the body healing process. And in the 40, I think 1939 is when the FDA approved using plasma transfusion for various condition.

Autoimmune condition, bleeding disorder, people in shock. So like in my field, critical care, we use that. People with autoimmune disease, we remove that because there's other antibodies in that. So it's been around for a long time. So the safety of plasma transfusion is well established.

If I had autoimmune disease and I had a bunch of antibodies that were attacked in my own tissue, like you had Graves, for example. If you were to do plasma exchange and remove those, do you just not have autoimmune disease anymore or is this something that you have to kind of keep doing on a regular basis if you were doing it for something like that?

So I think that's one of the way to like going after the root cause. So if you have autoimmune disease, you have these antibodies, for some reason they over, they lose control and they attack your own bodies. It kind of makes sense to remove that. But then a lot of time we use a combination of modalities, so that's to remove. And sometime we put in a young plasma with the right message exosomes stem cell.

And does somebody just like not have autoimmune issues anymore after that?

You know, I. So sometime you do that and then with autoimmune condition, it's something that is not completely understood, but it's something that under stress, your body can kind of flare up again. So that's why sometimes people as needed, they have another round of removal.

Well, I think you were telling me off air earlier that you had like some billionaire or something who just felt incredible afterwards and they wanted to do it again. So people will actually do something like a therapeutic plasma exchange more than once in their lifetime. Theoretically.

Right. And you can do it every six months, every year. And the volume is also something that is flexible. Sometimes people do like a maniac change, meaning remove one liter and then put in one liter. What you had was the full protocol.

What's the full protocol?

Right. So you had two liters removed. So from cold blood, to answer your question from earlier.

About 50 to 55% of whole blood is plasma.

Okay.

So you have about five liters and then we remove two. So quite a bit. And then we replace with three liters of young plasma.

Yeah. Okay. So back to the young plasma. Can I close this, by the way?

Now it's perfect.

Back to the young plasma. Where does it come from? How do you know? It's like.

So in general.

The young plasma is collected and is mixed blood type sex. So that's in the hospital.

For this. We've gone like even more careful. So these are pre qualified college students age 18 to 25 and they have to be pre qualified. And once the plasma is collected, that will get.

Put aside for culture and make sure everything is clear before that get approved to be used by providers like us.

So pre qualified, they're testing for like viruses, pathogens, bacteria. I'm assuming they'll get like Lyme mold.

Things like that also. Right. So they the typical full panel for like if you would get blood transfusion.

Same type of criteria that you would follow before this is going to go back into somebody else's body. These kids get paid, like, is it something that they get compensated?

I think they get like a gift certificate.

Okay.

Yeah.

All right.

Yeah.

You know, you hear sometimes about how some people will get like heart transplant and take on the characteristics of the person whose organ they received. Like in the back of my mind, I wonder, Gosh, like I've gotten 10 liters of some 18 to 25 year old, possibly multiple 18 to 25 year old young men's plasma in me. Am I gonna just suddenly like have a craving for Doritos or like a certain song all of a sudden that I never liked before?

So I, you know, the typical thing that I've heard, the feedback from patients I've worked on is as you experience.

Even that night, just a surge of energy and a sense of wellness and then the mental clarity, that's like the, the most profounding things.

I left your office last night. Mild histaminergic reaction, which you said was normal. So a little bit of rash, a little bit of hives, a little bit of itching, that went away by five. I played two hours of pickleball, came back to my hotel room, had dinner and was like up till about midnight reading before I was finally okay, I need to get to sleep. So I literally took an anti histamine to go to sleep. So I was functional today, but energy levels just off the charts. And that was after two liters of young plasma and another liter went in today. So I might just have to go, I don't know, just dance the night away or something. But huge amount of energy. But then beyond just energy, you mentioned lower inflammation, removal of antibodies, antibodies, exosomes. So you're probably seeing more stems, so more of your own stem cell signaling.

Right. And the interesting part is that.

Based on research, when you get the infusion of young blasphemer into your body.

The donated young plasma, it doesn't get old. It's the opposite. It's kind of influenced and it influenced that. It's called chronokines, which is kind of like the messenger for time. And it sends a signal to the rest of the body to kind of like reset the aging clock and it's effect kind of systemic.

Do people notice the difference? I mean, I know we'll get to the facial and stuff that you do, but do people notice like hair, skin, nails, anything like that? Just from the plasma, not the other stuff?

Yeah. So from as I shared with you earlier, that particular patient in his 70s, high stress, very successful, high stress and not taking care of his health. And he's walking in, kind of like older than his age, slumped over and just tired. And after the procedure that weekend, I got a phone call. And as I share with you, he's like, you just need to know, I've been up since five in the morning. I've been through multiple business conversations and my brain is on fire.

You felt like I felt last night. Yeah. So when it comes to the things that this pulls out of your body, is there any effect on like cholesterol or lipids or anything like that or other parameters people might be concerned about? Like if somebody, people go in and do like Ozone treatments for their blood, for mold or Lyme or mycotoxins. Is there anything this is pulling out beyond just like the rejuvenation of the young plasma? Anything? The old plasma that gets removed.

Yeah. So, you know, so what's in plasma in general? There's salt, there's mineral, there's lipid protein, hormones, exosomes. So you do get that. And one of the concern that we have to be careful is the clotting factor, which is part of the protein. And so that's why like people with clotting disorder or if you're on blood thinner, then we have to be careful.

Because you're removing clotting factors unless you would risk excess bleeding potentially.

Right, right.

Okay, Right.

And.

So when you remove plasma, you have the option of replacing that with IV fluid. We can do that with albumin, which have more oncotic pressure, so it just holds space better. And then your body will reproduce more. It's fascinating. So just by removing plasma alone definitely has it's kind of diluting effect and it's helpful.

So you could theoretically remove plasma and then just like get an IV and then you eventually rebuild your own plasma. Or you could remove plasma and, and do a full young donor exchange.

Right. Which will take the benefit to the next level. So now you have the influence all the signaling from the complicated mixture of the plasma from young donors. And it's shown that as we age, your plasma composition kind of changes as well. Just like as we age our hormones last.

All the age related process.

Yeah.

And so that's when we replace with young plasma, you benefit tremendously from that youth cocktail. And it's kind of like a complex perfect combination of all the signaling agent exosome from young blood wedged influence the epigenetic expression of the recipient genes. Yeah, so that's really, really cool.

Yeah, that's super interesting. I know you did like a true age genetic analysis.

Right. So yeah, thank you for reminding me. Yes. So right now this is part of the golden gift study. So there's like anecdotal report when people get young plasma, they feel more energy, faster repair, recovery, but there's never been a study. So the golden gift study started in 2022 and I'm part of the co investigator. And now we look at before the test, we check for and you did have that a full panel of blood work including inflammatory markers. And then we did the biological age to check for the methylation age and also like all the age for the separate organs. And then we did a whole bunch of other tests to check for the brain, for the balance physical.

Performance, and for the six months post procedure, we have the option if people participate in the study, which is optional, that we.

Repeat and we'll follow up after the young plasma exchange to see how that affected epigenetics, longevity markers, blood markers, et cetera. So you're actually getting hard data. It's called the golden gift study.

Golden Gift study.

Plasma is golden.

Yep. Now I know this and it's only in Texas and it started in 2022.

Okay, got it. Two things I have besides this, not talked about before on the podcast. Salmon sperm and Botox. You know, I think a lot of people are already aware of the idea of microneedling and facials, you know, getting exosomes or platelet rich plasma in your face. And when you told me about the salmon sperm, this was a totally new thing for me. I thought you were joking, but it sounds like you weren't actually joking.

Right. And you actually agree and we apply that on your skin.

Tell me about this. Like, where are you getting salmon sperm?

Yeah, so this is like from aquarium.

Porn action going on in the back room in the office somewhere over there or what? Tell me the story.

It's actually the salmon sperm DNA purification. And.

Who would have thought of this? Like putting salmon. Okay.

Yes.

I guess there's a lot of aesthetic techniques in Korean.

That's kind of like the capital of aesthetic. People really care about skin and how you look and. Yes. So it's, it's. And that is the known glass skin.

Okay.

Procedure where I don't know if you like, you go to Korea, everyone's walk around with just perfect skin and.

Because they're all using skin sperm.

No, because they really, they really all about nice skin. So they have like the latest trick and technology and, and therapies. But salmon sperm is, you know, one of the latest.

Okay.

And of course I tried that on my face first and I was just.

Guinea pig that on yourself first.

Right. And by the way, I gave myself the O shot to check it out too. So I a mirror and gave myself the O shot.

Yeah. Is the O shot like Botox in the clitoris instead of the penis?

So the O shot is like the P shot.

Okay, so let's come back to Botox here in a little bit. I want to finish this salmon sperm plant.

Right.

So so they somehow isolate the DNA from the sperm of the salmon and.

Then it, it has like the ability to again regenerate more collagen and you.

Just apply that topically after you do.

Like a little bit of the microneedling.

Microneedling?

Create tiny channels and then we just let it absorb.

What do people notice?

Glass skin. So your skin is just glowy and refined. Like the little lines and wrinkles, the age spot and such.

How often do people do this?

So you can do that every three months, every month if you want to. Most of my patients, I recommend.

That once a year.

You should just hit your hair, your skin and your period.

This isn't gonna make a dent in like the world's population of salmon, is there? Like, do I have to trade off longevity and beauty for not getting a filet of ora king salmon anymore at a restaurant? Or is it sustainable?

Yeah.

I have to look more into that.

Yeah. Well, I don't know. Well, obviously, you know, males have a pretty infinite amount of sperm based DNA. Females have a limited amount of eggs, so I doubt that we would run out of male salmon sperm. But I don't know. This is interesting. You put it on my penis too.

No, no, no.

Okay.

No, we didn't.

All right, so you don't use it there. You do for the skin, but you do Botox. And again, like I mentioned earlier, like I told a few people I was going to do this, they're like, why are you putting a paralytic agent into your penis? So how does this work?

Right, so we inject Botox right into like as if we do the P shot.

For Botox.

Some people might not know what you mean when you say P shot.

Yeah, so P shot stands for the priapus shot. Okay. And it's the sex of. It's a God of sex.

And so it's same as priapasm, the very uncomfortable five to eight hour erection that sends some people to the hospital that. Priapasm. Priapus.

Right, right, right. And so we inject along the shaft into the erectile tissue of the penis. And the P shot is using prp, that's the original platelet rich plasma. Platelet rich plasma, the natural growth factor from your own body. And that will send signal to make the tissue healthier, more collagen, more microcirculation and erection is.

Based pretty much the amount of blood flow into the erectile tissue.

Okay.

Now Botox works by relaxing the smooth muscle outside of all the blood vessel. So it just like open the gate for blood to flow in.

So it's not directly vasodilatory. Like something like, you know, the shockwave therapy that people do with that wand, which you also did, by the way. Thanks. To the numbing lotion that I got, which made it a lot more comfortable. And it's not something like Viagra, which would also cause vasodilation. And it's not even something like prp, which would help to grow new blood vessels. This is literally almost think of it like a bicep that's contracting and thus restricting blood flow with too long of a contraction or something like that. So it's relaxing to allow for better vasculature.

It does relax the smooth muscle, so it's kind of open the blood vessel, actually.

But if it relaxes it, you'd think that you wouldn't be able to get an erection.

It's blood flow.

Okay.

So that just allow more blood flow into the shaft of the pupils. And therefore, another side benefit is that when not stimulated, like at rest, men also enjoy the size a little bit bigger.

So increase size and girth even if you don't have an erection.

Right. It just from more relaxed and more blood flow.

Now, you've been saying muscle. I guess many of us are taught in biology that the penis is a gland, not a muscle. So how does that work?

The smooth muscle outside the blood vessel in the penis.

Okay, all right, got it. So we have muscles. Even though the penis is a gland, There are muscles in the penis, and that's what the most.

And it's, like, tiny. It's like a rich.

Network of microcirculation.

Okay. So obviously, if you had erectile dysfunction or what's the disease?

Peyronie's pey.

What is that again?

So pey is scarring.

Okay.

And it's actually most commonly is due to trauma related to sex.

Okay.

But any kind of trauma, and they cause scarring. And then the shaft curve and that, A, it can be very painful, but, B, that would make penetration ineffective.

Yeah. Okay.

And that can be debilitating. And we use the P shot to address that along with ed.

Okay.

With additional treatment around the scar tissue.

Yeah, yeah. But then the Botox with the prp, plus the shockwave treatment, that all kicks in pretty fast. I mean, I was telling you, and, you know, obviously you guys hear this stuff all the time, so I'm not embarrassed talking about this stuff in your clinic that I was literally like, I was getting dressed for pickleball last night, and I just got a random erection just getting ready for pickleball, which I wasn't that excited about. I mean, I'm excited to play pickleball, but not that excited to play pickleball, so. Yeah. Kicks in super fast.

Right, right. And it's just like Botox. Right. And the important things to realize is that ed, even mild, is an early signs of maybe cardiovascular complications. So I always screen for that. You know, we can treat locally, but. Okay, what's your lipid profile look like? High blood pressure and a risk factor. And then that's an opportunity to do screening for stroke, heart attack. Because it's kind of like the same process.

Yeah.

So ED is kind of like angina for the heart or TIA or mini stroke.

Right, right, right. We've mentioned it a few times. At least. I have the shockwave thing, even though I've done a podcast on that before. Quick reminder for people who may not have heard that. What?

Yeah. So I love to combine different modalities. So shockwave by itself is a long standing therapy for many things. Ed, including ED and joint, tendon, ligament. The way it works is that it's based on the energy from sound wave. So to create tiny injuries in the treatment area and then the body would recognize that as an injury, like, oh, there's a cut or there's an injury. Let's turn on the cascade of repair and regenerate and let's go to work. And so I combine as you experience before joint injection and before ED treatment, before the T shot, I do the shock wave to kind of like prime the tissue to regenerate. I love stacking just a store years.

Ago on gainswave therapy. Both my wife and I have done it a few times since the shockwave therapy. And back to my wife, the same idea of botox, prp. And the P shot applies to what.

You call the O shot or the orgasm shot.

That's what the O stands for. Orgasm.

The orgasm shot. And same principle, same idea. And we inject for women, either we collect plat or other biologics and then we. The area is numb, obviously. And then we're going to inject around the G spot area and also right into the clitoris.

Okay.

And that will create a healthier tissue, more lubricated and improve in sensation and tightness.

When you say around the G spot area, are you going externally or are you going internally?

Internally.

Okay.

Yeah.

And interesting.

Yeah.

And do you do like lips or anything like that with the O shot?

Yes. So it's called the wings lift.

Okay.

So that's where I. So the O shot is a functional procedure where you improve sexual function. The wings lift is just for aesthetic, but I love it because it's instant result and it's natural.

And is the wings lift using botox.

Or we use, I use a mixture of PRP and.

Filler. Okay, sometimes, sometimes. But it is a very thin mixture of that. And then we inject on the. On the lips.

Right, right. So it's like a facelift for the.

Vagina and it's instant and it's create that youthful volume and it actually make the tissue healthier.

It's very natural, very quick. And you see the result.

Yeah. Where do you learn about this stuff? Do you guys have like special secret Batman cave conferences that regenerative medicine docs go to to hear what's coming down the pipeline? Because some of this stuff, I'm kind of connected to the industry, but a lot of this is new to me.

So Dr. Charles Runnels is the inventor of the P shot and then old shot, the vampire face, the wings with the bracelet. So I got trained under him, I got certified. And it's actually a very active group that we just keep up with all the latest research and communication. For example, I had a very severe case of Peyronie's from a young patient and I added different peptides and great results. So we share that with the community.

So Charles Runoff is his name.

Does he have like a blog or a website or podcast, stuff like that?

Yes, he's very well known.

What about some of these conferences like American Academy of anti Aging Medicine. A 4M RadFest is the one I hear about. Do you go to these places?

I do. I presented at Radfast and I do participate in a 4M. Actually I got certified for my anti aging there at a 4N and I also am very active with the SSRP which is the organization for peptide therapy.

Now you have some kind of a weird peptide thing you were telling me about that's different than what I've heard of before. Neo.

Right. So that is. So the peptides that we all know is kind of like off the shelf.

And they are very effective. They're very effective, very safe.

But if you get them from the.

Right source, it's very important. Very important. And then knowing the sequence and when to use what is crucial. But then the next level is the, the personalized tailored peptide. And this is from Neo7 Bioscience.

For this I actually collect your blood and urine and then that will get sent to the company to get analyzed using a machine learning platform. It's fascinating because they really.

Have like an extensive analysis of your blood sample and urine sample.

And then the machine will.

Kind of point out all the faulty pathways and then have the ranking to design the Peptides to actually counteract and fix those abnormalities.

Give me an example.

For example.

There'S like eight hormones of aging that they are targeting, the mitochondria, health microbiome, the DNA stability and so forth. And then everyone is different. For example, my patient with als, the report, it just all lit up. All the pathway, that neural related pathway is all abnormal and you know, like just normal aging that you're going to see like telomere attrition or inflammation or DNA instability. So just depending on the severity, they will create the peptide just for that individual. So NF1 and it's a program that they would once, once they have the design, they will send that off to a compound pharmacy to create the peptides. And that would last about six to nine months.

So these would not be peptides that are named, that you can read about. They're synthesizing their own short chains of amino acids to go to the areas that blood and your intestine have identified, need them. And then I'm assuming somebody needs to go through a doctor to do something like this. And what's it called again? Neo.

Neo7 Bioscience.

Neo7 Bioscience. Okay. And you just come in, you do the test and then these providers injectable peptides that you get.

Yeah. So you're gonna get 120 vials and then you're gonna keep them in the freezer.

Yeah.

And. And then typically it's gonna be twice a week injection. And then in between, just depending on the individual, we also add IV or nasal net or subcube.

And we have the option of using Exosome for better delivery as well. So we have different options. And then on top of that, we sometimes use the augmented peptide, like the peptide that you know, but they augment it to help out with its stacking.

Yeah.

So a lot of time we use SS31, Clotho.

Those are the common things. And then we use.

Sometimes ribbon lysine. Just depend on what we want to address.

Yeah, yeah. So is there anything based on how much you're getting around and seeing the whole field of regenerative therapy coming down the pipeline that you've got your eye on, that you might add to the clinic or that you're excited about or that you think shows a lot of future promise?

So.

I'm always on the lookout for the latest.

With enough understanding and science based. And right now, honestly, the Neo7 Bioscience and Young plasma therapy, it's kind of like. Yeah, as far as now, that's kind of like the cutting Edge gene therapy.

Hopefully it just. We're on the verge of.

I've done gene. I did follow statin gene therapy and had incredible results for muscle gain. Yeah, it's not legal in the US yet, but the idea of being able to turn on or turn off certain genetic pathways, you know, in this case, follow statin for muscle gain. Clotho for cognition. I think they're working on one for luteinizing hormone for natural testosterone enhancement. That's a cool field. I plan on at some point doing a dedicated podcast just devoted to gene therapy. I did it with Dr. Adil Khan down in Cabo. But yeah, still kind of few and far between. Hard to come by here.

And I'm hopeful that we just paving wave and then.

Waiting for that hockey stick effect. And with like quantum physics and machine learning, things just gonna happen fast. So I keep on telling people, my sons included, just.

Stay safe. Just hang around.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. Hang around long enough, you might be that person. List of 150. Is it easier from a legislation standpoint in Texas to practice just like this? It seems like there's a lot of clinics like this in Texas, so for.

Young plasma is only in Texas as of now.

Okay.

And I'm part of the. The Golden Gift study. I'm a co investigator.

Oh, so you can only do young plasma in Texas, like in the U.S. right. I didn't know that.

Right.

Because there are places I know of, like in California, for example, that advertise that they do tpe.

Right. So TPE in general is removing plasma. And then when you exchange, you exchange, you replace with albumin. Typically, TPE means that you're replacing with.

Albumin, not with full young donor plasma, which you could only do in the state of Texas as of now. Interesting. Okay.

So hopefully it'll be.

I think a lot of people. I'm glad we cleared that up. A lot of people think this is the same as therapeutic plasma exchange.

It's kind of under the same umbrella, but it's more specific to what you exchange with. So young plasma exchange is removing old plasma and replace it with. Change it with yellow plasma.

I'm assuming it would be prudent. We haven't talked about this, so I might as well ask you while we're recording that, after I've done a protocol like this, like, for example, I've been careful not to drink alcohol the past few days to get good sleep, take care of my body, you know, going outside and grounding and earthing and doing all the healthy things. I'm assuming kind of like a stem cell treatment. The more I can do to be really healthy after this, including maybe even avoiding alcohol, things like that. That would be avoiding alcohol.

As far as medication, you can go back.

Yeah.

But even just if you want the benefit to sustain longer and to make the best out of it. Again, it's like the whole, whole person approach. You know, eat healthy. It's boring, but important.

Control your manuscript.

Go to bed is a decent time. Which I have to do now because you gave me a red light therapy thing that I have to wear around my penis. So I've been putting. Getting into bed 20 minutes early so I can wrap that thing around. And yeah, that's a first for me doing red light.

So that's a pretty good stack, right? Yeah. The shockwave, the injection, the botox, the red light.

We did a lot. Yeah. I feel incredible.

Yeah. Yeah.

Despite being up to like 1am last night, bouncing off the walls, I feel incredible.

Yeah.

So the name of your clinic is Austin regenerative Therapy.

You got it.

I'll link to all that. If. If you're watching or listening to this, go to BenGreenfieldLife.com regen I assume if people wanted to try something like this, they can just call and you screen them. And I know you had like found my blood type and there's some other things that you need to do leading up so you get the right type of. Type of plasma. BenGreenfieldLife.com regen though and then people can call you and schedule if they want to do something like this themselves.

Yes.

Okay.

Yeah.

All right. Well, I tried it. So far it feels pretty good. And yes, the botox did not paralyze me, so I'm happy about that. I'll fly home tomorrow to see my wife. Hopefully she's happy too. Ka, thank you so much.

Yeah, thank you so much. I'm excited. I love what I do and it's great to have a chance to share.

Yeah. Yeah. Well, I think a lot of people.

I can't wait to hear.

Gonna be interested in doing this, so. Yeah. So check her out, folks. BenGreenfieldLife.com regen I'm at Austin Regenerative Therapy. Thanks for watching.

Okay, Ben Greenfield is here. So this is day one of the three day session of yung last night change. So we're gonna remove 1 liter of plasma and just replace with a liter of I.V. fluid.

Oh, I thought you were going to replace it with like a liter of like liquid hot magma or something cool like that. So it could be an avenger if you have that.

I want some wolverine claws while we're doing this too, actually.

Always ready for the needle, bro.

He's looking right at it. And you didn't feel much, right?

No.

Yep.

Okie dokie.

So now the machine started and you can see this is gonna take his blood through the machine and it's gonna separate out the plasma. And then it's gonna be collected in this bottle right here. And we're gonna show it to you, Bench. And then we put in the second IV line with some IV fluid.

Your plasma is looking good.

I gotta call my wife to show her what this plasma looks like. Let's see. Let's see if she shares. We can show her.

Pick up the phone.

Busy taking care of the goats.

They're so fun.

Yeah, they're pretty cute.

We had to take them into the sauna right after this because they were super cold. So they hung out in the sauna for a few hours.

Yeah, I think I mentioned on my intake form, but even though my body's pretty good, the only two orthopedic issues I have, I have. I'm sure they're related to each other. I have some left toe pain and some left knee pain.

Okay, so we'll do that. Today we're doing the face and the penis.

Okay.

Tomorrow we're going to do the jaw injection.

Okay. After the infusion, do the face and penis first. Those besides the brain are the two most important parts of my body. So. Yeah. Great.

So this is the region facelift. We use young plasma.

The south stem cell exosome, and the salmon swarm to top it off.

Yeah, this isn't the type of thing that us men up in Idaho are known for doing.

Were you gonna say the trend?

I guess so. Like, we almost try to make ourselves uglier. Really?

No.

Going to look hard to kill, but I'm doing this.

You doing okay?

All right. I'm fine.

No worse than like a baby bumblebee sting. Barely feel it.

That's the goal.

Hitting your hairline even though you have a forehead of hair.

Almost done.

So this gonna feel like a massage. The microneedling.

Get it?

Oh, my God.

That was easy.

All right, time for day two. Day two at Austin Regenerative medicine. Yesterday I got my face injected, my penis injected. And today, back to longevity young plasma infusion. And we'll see what other tricks they have up their sleeve and what they have in store.

Yo, yo, what's up?

Okay, so today's day number two.

Yesterday we did the first liter of removal of Your old plasma, it didn't look bad actually.

Good.

But you did feel good afterwards and was able to play pickleball.

Got a couple hours of pickleball in. Yeah.

And we also did the whole high end face treatment. Yeah. And then you, you did some red light treatment on the penis.

Yep. Did the red light on the penis last night and felt didn't hurt or anything.

Yeah. So today we're gonna remove the second.

Literally. Okay.

So after we remove the second liter today, we're gonna put in two liters.

Oh, good. So I don't leave today.

Exactly.

Exactly.

So you get a vital surge.

Cool. And then there's like another. Is there another liter? Goes in tomorrow?

Tomorrow.

Oh, wow.

So that's the full.

Amazing.

That's. I'm giving you like the full protocol. Yeah. And it seems like the, the more volume people get, the better benefits with it.

Okay.

Yeah.

Cool. Totally not opposed to hitting a little shock wave on this guy if we want to.

Yeah, yeah.

Sweet.

Yep. So that's the plan.

Okay, so we almost done with day two. We're down to the last.

Last two of ten bags of plasma.

Ten.

Yeah.

And then tomorrow we gotta do another liters. Yep.

Feel good. Yeah.

And then we hit the shoulder a little bit.

Yep. Little shockwave on the shoulder.

One more to go. The last. The third liter. And then we're gonna do the. The joint injection.

Amazing.

With young plasma.

Hi.

So last day, day three. So did you play pickleball yesterday?

Yeah, I actually had like too much energy. I was up till like almost 1am and just like bouncing off the walls.

Yeah.

Like in a good way. Just like too much energy. Yeah. And yeah, I left Sharon for like two hours to pickleball. I was. It was weird. I was like itching. Like my body was just getting used to everything. So until like maybe five when I think you're like three, I was like itching and I had some hives. And those went away. Yeah, by the time I was like playing last night, those went away. And then I left pickleball and I was just like, dude, like. I mean, you do like clubbing or something. I can dance and not too much.

People like stay up to order.

I instead just went home and. Or took back to my hotel and I, I read a whole bunch and got some work done. Eventually I fell asleep.

That's awesome.

Yeah.

And the skin. Awesome.

Shoulders a little bit. Yeah. You fixed it yesterday. And then I just passed it up in a good way.

But the infusion definitely would help. Yeah.

Cool. Got it. Like that shock wave works fine.

Yeah. Yeah.

Cool.

Awesome. So let's. Let's go in here.

Sam.

Yo, yo. Yeah, it was good. Y' all knows her stuff. Yeah. Between that and all the other stuff, I'm feeling like a new man.

Thank you so much.

Cool. Thank you. Thanks for having me. This is an incredible place and incredible experience. So thanks.

So see you next time. See you soon.

You will.
