A lot of them contain harsh chemicals like dyes, preservatives, and even UV brighteners. Those brighteners don't actually clean anything, they just coat fabric so your eyes think things look whiter or brighter. That's more chemicals I don't want on my family sheets or skin. And if you've got sensitive skin or allergies around the house, this can be a big problem. That's what got my attention about Earth Breeze. It looks like a dryer sheet, but it's actually laundry detergent. You toss one in the washer and that's it. No pouring, no mess, and no heavy plastic jug. Their packaging is lightweight cardboard, which helps reduce plastic waste. And if you choose the fragrance free option, it's gentle, hypoallergenic, non irritating and non sensitizing. I really like how simple it is and how fresh and clean everything comes out without those unnecessary chemicals.

Hey, it's JJ Virgin. And welcome to the JJ Virgin lifestyle show where I give you the latest cutting edge intel to help you look, feel, and think better.

Now, today's show is all about turning back the clock.

Turning way back the clock. Yes. I have on a guest today, and she makes the bold claim that she can help you look and feel not five, not 10, but 20 years younger. And I've known her now, gosh, we actually just, you know, Both turned. Turned 50 kind of at the same time and got the same cars and kind of bonded over all that stuff. So I've known her for a couple years now and watched her just take on this therapy and blow it up and get the most amazing results. She has people coming from all over the world now to her her Santa Fe center, and we actually got the chance to go out there and hang out for the day. I did a Facebook live from her center. I'm talking about Dr. Robin Benson. And she is an author, a speaker, and a regenerative medicine expert. And she is known by many as the health detective with life changing solutions. And what's been super exciting is she's been an acupuncturist for years, which just kind of worked perfectly into what she's doing now with her amplified regenerative therapies.

I'm not going to tell you about.

Them and let her tell you about them, but the results she's getting are crazy. And you're going to learn how you can use these in your life. Whether you want to look younger, feel younger, or get out of pain, she's got the answer for you. So again, Today's guest is Dr. Robin Benson.

All right, let's do it. Dr. Robin Benson, welcome to the show. I'm so glad you're here with me today.

Thank you, jj.

All right, we are going to get people super excited with what you have to share, which is how to look and feel not 5, not 10, but 20 years younger. Are you kidding me? Okay, so how did you find this magic elixir? What the heck? Happened here?

Well, you know, I've been in practice for 25 years, which is hard to believe, but what I see on my tables every single day, that people are just wired and tired. They are literally exhausted. And so I have developed this whole line of work that I've called amplified regenerative therapies. People want to live amplified, and they're not feeling that way, and they want to.

Well, what does it mean to live amplified?

What do you mean?

That's a great question. So to live amplified really means to. How to have, like, more energy, how to magnify the goodness of life, how to actually wake up in the morning feeling good rather than exhausted like so many people do. It means to restore and to revive health in your body, to have a sharp mind, even to wake up, wake up ready to take on your day and be excited about your life and your dreams.

Excellent. Sign me up for that. All right, so walk us through, because, again, it is a bold claim, missy, to say 20 years younger. I mean, that's. You know, you often hear five or 10 years younger, but 20 is a pretty bold claim. And especially to have, you know, to look and feel younger, to. To be able to think younger, all of that. So what are amplified regenerative therapies? What are you doing?

The number one regenerative therapy that I want to speak about today and share with everyone listening is called platelet rich plasma. And I use this to help people in terms of their uplifting health in their face and beauty in their face, actually turning the clock back. It's amazing what can happen with PRP in your face. And then I also do a.

Okay, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. What is prp? Because you know what PRP is, but what is it?

PRP stands for platelet rich plasma. And what we do is we actually take your blood and we spin that blood in a centrifuge, and we get your platelets from your own blood. This is what's so cool about it, jj, is people really want natural healing, that they're. You know, there's. This is a world in which there's so many pharmaceutical drugs and there's all kinds of surgeries that are unnecessary when it comes to looking younger. So in this case, we take your blood, we get your platelets, and then we actually inject those platelets back into your body, and it's amazing what can happen. We inject it into your face.

Yeah, so you mentioned face. So I've actually had this done. And is this. Maybe I haven't. Is this what the And I remember Kim Kardashian was like all over the place talking about vampire phase, vampire physics. So that is what this is, right?

Exactly.

Yeah, it's amazing. So the name was a little daunting.

But I don't like him either.

But it got people's attention. So tell people what that really is. Like when you're going to have this done to your face. What, like what kind of, you know, do you just do it once? Do you do it multiple times? What kind of results are you seeing with people?

It actually helps to diminish all kinds of wrinkles around your eyes and it around the mouth, that's a big area. It actually helps me with volume depleted areas. It helps to fill those in. It makes the skin much smoother. I mean, people love that. They can see that they look 10 years younger. Like, a woman came in yesterday, she had this procedure done two months ago and she's thrilled and she's like, I want it again. I want a second one. Because I can't believe the results everyone tells me.

How quickly does someone see results?

You know, it's within. Actually, you leave my office looking better. That's how quick it is. They call it vampire facelift because we're actually using a part of your blood that we put on your. That's actually put on your face. Not only do we inject it, but we do a skin pen procedure that creates all these little holes in your body and in your face and it helps to absorb it. And then right away those growth factors are going to work. And it's the best way to describe this jj, is like when you skinned your knee as a little girl, right? You get that little yellow stuff, right? That gunky stuff and that healing matrix. That's what's happening inside your face. It helps to rejuvenate healthy tissue and it also creates new blood flow to your face and even new blood vessels grow underneath your skin.

So you see some results right away. But it sounds like you would continue to see results happening over a certain period of time.

Is that true?

Yeah. Most people don't have to repeat one of these facelifts for at least three months. So over that period of time, these growth factors are doing their job and just restoring that youthful glow that people really want to see. And it's so nice that. Will you completely get rid of wrinkles? In some cases, yes. But for most people especially depends on the age. I mean, I have 30 year old women doing this and I have 70 and 80 year old women doing it. So it just Depends on the stage of your face when you first come in. And then also it has to do with your self care lifestyle. That's a big thing I talk about with each and every patient that comes in to really amplify again, to use that word, to get the best out of getting this vampire facelift. It has a lot to do with your self care and how your hydrating yourself, how you're fortifying your body with the healthiest possible foods each day.

So it's all, I love that you have this integrated approach and that you're saying, you know, because it's always been one of my pet peeves. It's like you can't go do something great topically for your skin. And this is of course more than topical because it's getting in there and really working underneath. But you can't just do that and then go eat a bunch of sugar and damaged fats and think everything's going to be cool.

Right?

Exactly.

Yes. All right, now, besides the beauty applications of this, what else is it good for?

It's excellent for sexual regeneration and rejuvenation. So I do what is called the O shot and also the P shot. So for women who have any type of incontinence, that have pelvic pain, that have, you know, they don't feel sexually aroused for any, which reason this particular injection is incredible. I mean, it's one time usually can reverse completely reverse incontinence. I have 30 year old women and I have 50 year old women with this issue. But pelvic pain is also, with sex is also a big issue and like 30% of women have some type of issues with that. And the O shot, again with this prp, it's the same thing that I'm doing on your face. I'm using that exact formula. I'm injecting that into two areas. And for a lot of women, just the thought of it, oh my gosh, you know, having injection intravaginally around the clitoral area sounds like there's me.

Does not sound nice.

Oh my God.

But you know what, jj? It is less painful than going to the dentist. And I can honestly say I've never had one woman say out of a, you know, 10, being like really painful, it has not been more than four. And usually it's just a little bit of a prick, it might be a little bit of pressure and that is it. Because what's so neat about the women's anatomy is that clitoral area, you know, goes five inches back into the body. And it just absorbs it so it doesn't bulge out. I mean, it just.

Yeah, that would be bad, a bulging bulgy.

But it just absorbs it. It takes that goodness of your own platelet rich plasma, your own blood into your system and it creates again new blood vessels. It restores the health of a 25 year old. That's really what happens with just one of these injections and the intravaginal one. I don't even need to use, you know, a speculum to do this. It just, All I do is just put a couple of CCs in that area and it just restores the plumpness, it restores vitality, the pinkness. You know, I have women with what is known as lichen sclerosis, which is an autoimmune issue in that area. And I also have women that have erosion of the clitoral area, you know, from horseback riding or just, you know, wear and tear of life. And it's really cool to see because a couple of those women, you know, maybe six months later, a year later, have come back and they're like, I, I cannot believe what's happened. I actually have sensation in my clitora area. I have not had that for the last 10 years of my life. And women with lichen sclerosis, it erodes the healthy tissue and the labial area. And it's amazing because the pain and the itching goes away. So I'm thrilled, jj, because I've been working with women with pelvic issues for many, many years. And I finally have something again that's natural, that helps to regenerate healthy tissue and restore that great sensation.

You mentioned pain. And gosh, there's been so much out there about pain, about all these opiate. Opiate addictions. I mean, so ways that we can treat pain naturally are so big. So besides pain, pelvic pain, what else can you use this for?

Well, a lot of women, about 20% of all women, do not have vaginal orgasms. And so this really helps to restore that pleasure center in the body. Again, if you're regenerating tissue back to a 25 year old, you can just imagine maybe how you once felt. And as women age, very often that area degrades, it breaks down.

What about like knees and hips? Because I would imagine that's, you know, more, more besides the pain area there. I mean, I would think, you know, knees, hips, what, what other things can.

We use this for?

Okay, I probably my. I do a lot of PRP for, for knees, backs, hips, herniated, Discs and it's now people will come in herniated discs.

Wow.

Fantastic. JJ for herniated discs. So again, I'm using the same. I get about 6, 60ccs of your blood, we spin it, we get that platelet rich plasma, we get about 10ccs of the goodness of life and then we inject that into specific areas. So for a herniated disc, let's say it's C6 and C7 in your cervical spine. I inject that into that area and it again helps to restore healthy ligaments, it helps to get that disc back in place, it helps to get the body back to its normal state in that area. So it's really awesome. I just did a knee last week. A 35 year old rugby player hurt it badly like two weeks ago. It's a re injured his knee and he's like, I don't want anything else, Robin. I don't want to have surgery. That's what they're telling me. I want to get prp. I've heard such good things about it. I know they're using it in racehorses and Olympic athletes. That's me. I want to be an Olympic athlete. Even at 35, it's always possible. And so I did the PRP and five days later, he not only did he practice, but he had one of his best matches ever. He was really thrilled.

And for most people, one treatment, multiple treatments, what does it take?

Well, when it comes to the, you know, the face, maybe once or twice a year, the O shot, some women only need it once. When it comes to a joint, sometimes it's one time, sometimes I need to do four or five. But I love to use one of my other amplified regenerative therapies called Prolozone. So the use of ozone in medicine is incredible. Anything from infection, but also for joints. So I tend to stack my treatments and that, that's the amplification that people are looking for and getting people back into the hobbies that they'd like to do. So many people like to be able to exercise every day, not be limited. And so for many of my older clients, they just want to be able to walk. So that's what's so great about this regenerative medicine. I mean, it gets people back doing what they love to do well, and.

You'Re perfect, you're like the perfect person for this. Having been an acupuncturist for years, it's like you just are set up to really be a perfect person to bring this out to the world. And Be a pioneer in it. So I just love what you're doing and I love how you've combined it with nutrition so that you really can dial in and amplify the results even more. So that is just fantastic.

Dig it.

I have one more question about these things. Just what are typical, typical costs for doing something like this? Like in the different areas, what would someone expect to pay and how easy it is? Is it? I know that you have people flying in from all over the world because, you know, and again, if I was going to do this, I would definitely be doing this with you. In fact, you know, I know I was just there. I'm going to do it, I promise. But you know, you do all of my, like, you know, whenever I see you, you always give me different kinds of shots and IVs and you're just the master. And I know again, a lot of people are flying in to see you and I would assume that there's not probably a lot of people doing this and especially doing this in the way that you're doing this at this point. So like, what if someone wants to do this? What, what are typical expenses and how easy is to find someone doing this? And again, I know, hey, my big advice is go to Santa Fe. Robin lives in Santa Fe. It's awesome.

It's really cool. Jj, is that when you did your the Facebook live when you were here? A woman from Chicago saw that she visiting a friend and she came two weeks ago to get a vampire facelift and she was just so thrilled. She loves your work. She's been following you for years and she's like, that led her to come to see me. So thank you very much. Pretty much with platelet rich plasma anywhere from 900 to about 1500. So when I do a breast lift, it can get up to 1800 because I'm using a lot more blood and I'm using more kits to actually do this procedure. And so it depends. But you really, I just want to say that right out, you want to make sure that your doctor is using an FDA approved centrifuge, the best one out there. I just upgraded to the one that has been studied again and again and everything has shown that you get the greatest yield in terms of platelets. So that's really important. And you want someone who's really experienced with needles and really knows their craft. A medical doctor doesn't necessarily have the experience like the guy I was trained with in platelet rich plasma. He doesn't do this on a right. I mean he is doing PRP, but this is not what he's been doing for 15 years. So definitely do your homework. Make sure that somebody's been doing this for a long time, and maybe even call and look at their testimonials. Make sure that they're not spinning it themselves, but they're using a centrifuge. That's really, really important.

I would never know that. So thank you for that. Okay, I'm gonna throw a curveball at you.

Oh, I want one. Okay.

I can't really throw a curve ball at you, but I' the one thing that you do every day, Robin, that makes the biggest difference in your life.

Great question. You know what I call it? The start. S T A R T. How I start my day is everything. It shapes my day. So when I wake up in the morning, I literally spend five minutes just grounding, just connecting to my soul self, connecting to my purpose. And 25 years later, that's what gets me up every day. It's just taking that five minutes in the morning. It just. It just. Again, that word grounding is so huge because sometimes we just get up and we're worried about our day and we're stressed, you know, just getting out of bed. So for me, just focusing on my why, focusing on hydration, focusing on exercise, and all the things that I do, I walk my talk. So 25 years later, this amplified way of living, I'm living that. And so I exemplify that for my clients, and they want more of what I've got. And believe me, I never stopped stop learning. So start your day. Just really think about how you start your day and do it in a very conscious way so you get the results that you want. By the time you go to bed, you're like, yes, I had a 10 day. A 10 day is a good day. That's the best kind of day.

I.

You know, I fully agree. When I don't start the day with my mindfulness, it's like the whole day goes sideways. It's just like, oh, my gosh.

So it is such a huge, huge.

One to start out that way. Now, I know that you have an awesome freemium, and everyone can get this by going to jjvirgin.comart for amplified regenerative therapies. And you have a super cool ebook. Tell us about it.

All right.

It's always awesome when I have you on. Thank you so much for joining me, Robin.

Thank you, jj.

Now, after the break, I'm going to be answering listeners questions. So stay with me.

If you're over 35 or under stress, you might not be digesting protein well and you may decide to take an enzyme product. But if you think all enzyme products are basically the same, here's the most. Digestive enzymes help your body digest everything better. Sounds great. Except for one thing. When you speed up carbohydrate digestion, you're actually raising your blood sugar, which is not good. JJ has included a special ingredient in her digestive enzymes that slows and even blocks some carbohydrate digestion while supporting protein digestion. Visit jjvirgin.comproducts and give JJ's digestive enzymes a try today.

Welcome back.

This is the time where I answer listeners question and just a heads up.

I grab these questions off of Facebook. Now I look both on my wall posts by others and then also as I'm doing Facebook lives, we get a lot of fun questions and comments. If you have not jumped onto my Facebook live, you can do that by going over to Facebook and going to JJ Virgin official where you see the little blue check mark?

That's me.

And just jump on there and join up and then follow me and then you'll know when I'm doing my cool stuff. So recently I got asked by Leah in Seattle. She goes, okay, JJ, I know you're over 50, so what are your top three things that keep you looking younger? And I have been, you know, obviously something magical happens at the age of 35. Everything starts to go the other way. You're like, what happened here? I'll never forget I was doing a downward dog yoga pose at the gym in these little bike shorts. And I'm looking and I'm going, whose legs are those? Because those could not be mine. Like what's going on with that skin tone there? And so that, that was the day I was like, ah, I got to start paying attention, more attention to this. And so the things that I've really noticed have made a massive difference and that I recommend the most. And you heard me kind of mention one of them on the show because I hear people so often and I'm obsessed with skin care. So don't think I'm not obsessed with skincare. I've been like working on a couple products from, for our own line here for a year now. But it's never made any sense to me to do all this topical stuff if you're eating a bunch of sugar. Because the most aging thing you can do in your diet is to eat high sugar impact. So the first thing I tell you to do is eat low sugar impact. Because when you're eating sugar, especially fructose, it does something called glycation, which is where it binds to proteins, doesn't need enzymes and it creates basically it makes you age faster. Like it's the crust on bread is what glycation is. So you do not want that happening in your body, nor do you want a bunch of oxidative stress. And that happens from doing all that endurance exercise. So the other thing that you want to watch out for is creating stressful situations like endurance exercise or things that create a lot of stress because stress shortens your telomeres. And that is another way that we age. So it's another sign of aging. So instead of doing things that are stressful, and a lot of that is just the way you interpret things, I talk about that a lot in my book the Miracle. How to be able to handle bigger things in your life without blowing up from the stress. But one of the things that can help you there is burst training, high intensity interval training, which actually helps you raise growth hormone and helps your body handle stress better. So that's another key one. And then finally, oh, my favorite supplement of all vitamin S sleep. Because sleep is where we recover, we repair, we raise our growth hormone. It is the number one anti aging tactic, sleeping. So sleeping eight to nine hours of quality sleep a night. That means deep sleep, falling asleep, staying asleep, falling asleep within 30 minutes of your head hitting the pillow, sleeping well throughout the night, waking up feeling rested without an alarm clock. And if you are just falling over.

Laughing right now.

We need to focus on this, we need to talk. So again, those would be my, my top three. And they make a massive difference here. And it's just causing those are those little hinges that swing the big doors. All right, now another thing that can help with aging is gratitude. And this is the gratitude portion of the show where I highlight my favorite review of the week. Now I'll tell you, we read these reviews over on itunes. My whole team does. They mean so much to us. So big shout out in advance to everyone who's leaving reviews. We so, so, so appreciate it. And this one is from Jason D. 1979 and he says, I was introduced to JJ Virgin on Dr. Mark Hyman's Fat Summit. Everything I've seen, read and heard by her about her is 100% empowering and helpful. Thank you so much. And thank you so much again. We love these reviews. They mean so much to us and they also help others kind of make the decision as to whether this is a place to spend their time. And I do strive to make sure that every single one of these podcasts brings you value that will open you up to new possibilities, but also give you action steps that you can immediately put to use in your own life. Because information without any action behind it is nice, but it's not going to do anything. And we're all about moving the needle here, right? So I want to give you information that you can put into immediate use. I hope you found something useful today that you can put into practice right away.

And again, I look forward to seeing.

You on the next podcast. All right, bye.
