Send us a textWhat if your body's natural healing abilities could repair injuries without surgery? That's the question Dr. Fawad Mian found himself asking after conventional treatments failed his own injuries.When Dr. Mian injured his shoulder, doctors immediately suggested surgery, telling him "hopefully we can get a surgery out of you." For his plantar fasciitis, steroid injections provided temporary relief but actually worsened his condition. These experiences led him to discover regenerative medicine techniques that harness the body's inherent healing capacities—treatments that ultimately repaired his own injuries and changed the trajectory of his medical practice.In our wide-ranging conversation, Dr. Mian reveals surprisingly simple strategies to protect your memory and cognitive function as you age. Sleep quality emerges as a critical factor—with the fascinating observation that during extended blackouts after Superstorm Sandy, chronic insomnia patients were suddenly falling asleep naturally by 8pm once electronic devices were unavailable. Dr. Mian recommends eliminating screens at least one hour (ideally two) before bedtime to reset your natural sleep rhythms.We explore how exercise directly benefits brain health by increasing blood flow and enhancing gray matter volume. Rather than extreme workouts, consistency proves most important—with Dr. Mian suggesting 4-5 weekly sessions combining strength training and cardio for optimal results. For those struggling to incorporate movement, even simple solutions like an inexpensive walking treadmill placed in front of your television can accumulate beneficial activity.Dr. Mian explains regenerative treatments like platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, which concentrates healing factors from your own blood and delivers them precisely where needed. Unlike treatments from umbilical cord or other external sources (which Dr. Mian cautions against), these autologous approaches harness your body's natural repair mechanisms without introducing foreign materials.Beyond physical health, we discuss Dr. Mian's approach to maintaining positive mental health through gratitude practices and visualization techniques. His perspectives on spirituality, relationships, and community service reveal a holistic approach to wellbeing that complements his regenerative medicine philosophy.Ready to explore alternatives to surgery and discover how your body might heal itself?

Join us for an enlightening discussion with Dr. Fawad Mian, a New Jersey-based neurologist and expert in regenerative medicine, as he shares his fascinating journey from being a patient to becoming a leading voice in his field. Dr. Mian recounts his initial fascination with neurology, driven by the challenge of helping stroke patients and others with debilitating conditions. He opens up about his personal experiences with injuries, such as a painful shoulder and foot issues, which led him to seek alternative treatments beyond traditional pain management. Through his own quest for healing, he discovered prolotherapy, an innovative regenerative treatment that allowed him to overcome his injuries and regain an active lifestyle. Dr. Mian's story highlights the transformative potential of regenerative medicine for chronic pain and injuries. Listen in as we explore practical strategies for overcoming pain naturally and making healthier lifestyle choices. We'll share insights on starting with small, manageable changes in diet and exercise, and examine real-life cases where unconventional methods, like ultrasound for nerve issues and PRP therapy for shoulder injuries, have brought about remarkable improvements. Our conversation also touches on the importance of exploring alternative treatments for long-term health benefits, and I discuss my self-help book, written during the pandemic, offering readers tools to enhance their health through alternative healing methods, dietary changes, mindfulness, and meditation.

The healing power of light exists beyond what we can see with our eyes. Our cells communicate constantly with photons, those tiny molecules of light that surround us daily. But what if we could harness this communication system to trigger healing throughout the body?Meet Victoria Ahrensdorf, a 70-year-old practitioner of the Feldenkrais Method who looks decades younger and credits much of her vitality to an innovative technology. These quarter-sized wearable patches use your body's own heat to generate specific light frequencies that communicate directly with your cells, activating powerful healing responses without drugs or invasive procedures.Victoria's journey with this technology began during a desperate moment. After eight weeks of debilitating COVID illness that left her bedridden and wondering if she might be dying, she tried her first patch. Within hours, her energy returned dramatically. Within days, she was able to drive sixteen hours to see her dying mother – something previously unimaginable in her weakened state.The science behind these patches is fascinating. Developed initially for Navy SEALs seeking enhanced stamina during long missions, the technology works by elevating GHK copper peptides in the bloodstream. These peptides not only increase collagen production throughout the body but also activate our own stem cells – without injections or extractions. According to Victoria, this approach is six times more effective than PRP or stem cell injections.Users report remarkable improvements across a spectrum of conditions: vision problems (including retinal issues deemed irreversible by conventional medicine), bone density, chronic pain, and even structural issues like scoliosis and kyphosis. The patches seem particularly effective for addressing the low energy states underlying many chronic conditions, including autism spectrum disorders and teenage stress.What makes this approach so revolutionary is its simplicity. The patches require no charging, no special equipment, and can be used by anyone regardless of age, size, or species. They're typically worn for 12 hours daily, placed on acupuncture points for maximum effect. This "set it and forget it" approach provides continuous benefit throughout the day, unlike treatments requiring dedicated time and equipment.Ready to experience how light technology might transform your health? Victoria welcomes conversations about how these patches might support your specific health needs and can guide you in selecting the right approach for your situation.

Welcome back to the Superhumanize Podcast. Today, we step into the radiant realm of healing, where ancient light meets modern science. My guest is Forrest Smith, a visionary at the intersection of wellness innovation and technology.As the founder of Kineon Labs and a former extreme athlete, Forrest brings decades of insight, both as a high-performing human and as a pioneering entrepreneur. His journey spans continents, from the rugby fields of South China to the tech corridors of North America. Along the way, he has built and sold multiple companies, delved deep into Chinese medicine and philosophy, and emerged with a powerful mission: to make cutting-edge red light therapy accessible, effective, and rooted in science.In this conversation, we explore what makes red light such potent allies for recovery, inflammation, performance, and even emotional well-being. We discuss photobiomodulation, how light interacts with our tissues at the molecular level, and why precise dosing truly matters. We also touch on the exciting future of light therapy for brain health, mood support, and energy optimization.Whether you are curious about pain management without pharmaceuticals, or interested in how light can nourish and heal the body, this episode will light the path.Episode highlights:02:00 – Forrest's journey from China-based tech entrepreneur and extreme athlete to mission-driven wellness innovator.04:00 – The founding vision of Kineon Labs: making high-quality red light and laser therapy devices accessible for home use.05:00 – Explanation of red light therapy and photobiomodulation—how light interacts with the body at a molecular level.07:00 – Why precise dosing matters: understanding the biphasic dose curve and photon absorption.09:00 – The role of nitric oxide and hemoglobin in increasing oxygen delivery and blood flow through light exposure.10:30 – How light affects mitochondrial function, oxidative stress, and inflammation on a cellular level.13:00 – Use of red light therapy in stroke recovery: extending the life of cells deprived of oxygen.14:00 – Designing devices backwards from desired biological outcomes instead of product features.17:00 – Why lasers outperform LEDs for dosing depth and precision.19:30 – Real-world outcomes from Kineon's Move+ device: high performance athletes, military, and aging populations.21:00 – Sustainable pain relief and mobility improvements for osteoarthritis and chronic injuries.24:00 – Long-term cardiovascular effects of untreated joint injuries—and how light therapy reverses them.27:00 – The power of stacking light therapy with stem cells, PRP, and shockwave treatments.31:00 – Protocols for joint pain and recovery: knees, backs, and sprains.39:00 – Forrest's favorite protocol: “Proximal Priority Therapy” for systemic inflammation and mood enhancement.41:00 – Transcranial light therapy and its promise for brain health, neurotransmitter balance, and immune resilience.44:00 – Future innovations: EEG and vagus nerve stimulation to support PTSD and autonomic regulation.50:00 – What's next: real-time brain energy mapping with single photon avalanche diodes.51:00 – Where to find Kineon products and community resources.Resources mentioned:Kineon Labs website – https://kineon.ioMove+ wearable...

Send us a textDr. Bobby unpacks the surge of health hype—from red light therapy to NAD⁺ boosters—and empowers listeners to stay curious yet skeptical using science-backed tools and critical thinking.Are claims like “boost your mitochondria” or “natural detox” real breakthroughs—or today's version of snake oil? Dr. Bobby explores why health hype is everywhere, why we're vulnerable to it, and how to sift compelling theories from proven treatments. He outlines examples of widely accepted beliefs that ultimately didn't hold up to rigorous scrutiny. Inserting stents to open clogged arteries seemed sensible, but studies like the COURAGE and ORBITA trials found no added benefit over medical management (NEJM). Dr. Bobby then turns to newer fads. Claims around NAD⁺ boosters (like NMN or NR), red light therapy, PRP for knee pain, and hydrogen water often rely on plausible-sounding mechanisms or mouse studies—but currently lack human RCTs to back them up. While these ideas may sound promising, human trials are either missing or preliminary.Why does this hype persist? Financial incentives are everywhere: the U.S. spends over $5 trillion annually on health, and the supplement market alone is worth $150 billion. Influencers, professionals, and even well-meaning providers may promote approaches they financially benefit from. As patients, we're often eager for solutions to symptoms like fatigue or anxiety—especially when conventional medicine doesn't have a satisfying answer. This opens the door for pseudoscience, placebo effects, and the viral spread of misinformation.To navigate this environment, Dr. Bobby outlines seven action steps. First, demand human evidence: ask if a treatment has been tested in RCTs, replicated, and proven in diverse populations. He recommends Examine.com for non-biased supplement research and revisiting his episode on evaluating health headlines (#22). Second, follow the money—financial conflicts should raise your skepticism. Third, be alert to hypey language like “miracle cure” or “doctor secrets”—phrases designed to manipulate, not inform. Fourth, understand the placebo effect, especially with vague symptoms. Fifth, ask  questions: “Compared to what?” “In whom?” “For how long?” “With what risks?” These shift the focus from excitement to real evaluation. Sixth, adopt what Dr. Bobby calls the mindset of a curious skeptic—open to ideas, but insistent on evidence. Finally, he urges listeners to consult evidence-literate doctors who will explore with you, both mainstream and emerging treatments with a critical eye—see episode #20 for more on choosing the right provider.Takeaways: Ask, “Has this been tested in people?” before jumping on a health trend. Beware buzzwords and financial conflicts—science, not sales, should guide your decisions. Embrace curiosity, but anchor it in real-world evidence to truly live long and well.

What do you do when your joints hurt? Do you think this is only temporary because I did too much of something? What can you do when joints hurt, or at least ache? Are you thinking or told about knee replacement? If this is you, this is your episode!   My Guest:  Dr. Joshua Schacter, DO, FAAOS, America's Holistic Orthopedic Surgeon, is redefining joint care with a commitment to providing actual solutions for his patients. Spending a decade as the Chief of Orthopedic Surgery and Director of the Advanced Orthopedic Center of Excellence, he saw the need for non-invasive, innovative solutions that address the root causes of pain and dysfunction rather than masking symptoms. When his wife was diagnosed with the “breast cancer gene”, the Schacter's became obsessed with wellness, health and how to accomplish true healing. Dr. Schacter dreamed of a more effective and patient-centered approach, the Pinnacle Method.   Questions We Answer in This Episode: [00:05:25] How did your personal experience cause you to shift your focus from traditional orthopedic care to a more holistic and integrative approach?  [00:21:18] What is orthobiologics?  [00:20:20] How does The Pinnacle Method address not just the symptoms but the root causes of joint pain? How does the Pinnacle Method help patients achieve long-term wellness? [00:21:30] How do the treatments you offer support the natural healing process? [00:37:00] Can you define PRP? The efficacy and timeline, cost and success rate?  [00:37:35] What do you find to be true today on surgery and non-surgical treatments? What evidence or success stories would you share to illustrate the effectiveness of the Pinnacle Method? [00:39:30] Your approach is optimizing overall health and longevity. How do you incorporate wellness and prevention into your care for patients?   Know What You Can Do When Joints Hurt   What is orthobiologics? Use of the body's own healing capacity. Includes PRP (platelet-rich plasma), stem cells from fat or bone marrow, cord blood.   What is PRP? Platelet-rich plasma: Draw blood → concentrate platelets → inject into affected joint Cost: $2,000–$6,000 per dose   What is The Pinnacle Method? Combines PRP, functional medicine, and BHRT Addresses the whole patient, not just symptoms   Key Takeaways Orthobiologics like PRP and stem cells are effective alternatives to surgery, especially when used early. Steroid injections can accelerate joint degeneration and should be used cautiously. The Pinnacle Method is a patient-centered approach combining regenerative orthopedics, functional medicine, and hormone therapy. Menopause-related hormonal changes significantly affect joint health, making hormone balance crucial.
