Our signature V-shot is available in Los Cabos.
We inject the vagus nerve to help reprogram the nervous system. This patient had relief from panic attacks for 2 years.

The vagus nerve plays a major role in how your body handles stress. Targeting it is one way we support nervous system regulation.

Our Los Cabos trip with Dr Gustavo Luken is next week, October 14th to 17th. Spots are very limited.

Today, regenerative medicine works from the outside in. We introduce stem cells and exosomes to the body, and they can trigger a reprogramming effect.
The next chapter works from the inside out. Imagine resetting your cells directly with small molecules or gene therapies, switching specific genes on or off so they act like younger cells. That's epigenetic reprogramming.
The money is already moving. Eight or nine companies are racing to make it real, backed by names like Sam Altman, Jeff Bezos, and Coinbase founder Brian Armstrong.
It's not here yet. But I believe it's coming within the next 10 to 15 years, and I'm watching this space closely.

I'm in Dubai with my friend Dr. Kyle Daigle, who has opened a clinic focused on some of the most difficult-to-treat neurological conditions.
Over the last 15 years, his team has tested patients from about 73 countries. One thing keeps showing up: inflammation in the sinuses and abnormal bacteria in the nose. His work suggests this may be influencing the brain and could be linked to conditions like seizures, Parkinson's, autism, and MS.
They've also been using green light, a form of photobiomodulation, to help calm the nervous system.
Dr. Daigle and I have been talking about what's next, and I'm excited to share that green light is coming soon.
Stay tuned.

Functional genomics shows which genes your cells are switching on, while proteomics measures the proteins those genes actually produce, the molecules that do the work in your body. Together they show both the instructions being sent and whether they're being carried out, giving a far more complete picture of your biology than either can alone.

We are proud to be the first clinic to combine both of these to bring personalized regenerative medicine care.

Our team in Dubai found a 2mm tear in my elbow, the kind of small tear that can actually get missed even on MRI.
So I had peptides and PRP injected directly into the area under ultrasound guidance, and I'm already planning to be back training hard later this week.
This is exactly why I'm such a believer in precision diagnostics. A tear this small can easily go undetected and lead to ongoing pain with no clear answer. Targeted imaging plus targeted treatment makes all the difference.

Mitochondrial dysfunction. Mitochondria are the batteries inside your cells, and over time they wear out. But it's not just wear and tear, they also produce free radicals that damage cell membranes and DNA (both nuclear and mitochondrial). When DNA gets damaged, it's like the instructions inside your cells become blurry. The "workers" reading those instructions start making mistakes. This is called epigenetic drift, and it's one of the biggest areas of research we focus on in regenerative medicine, specifically epigenetic reprogramming: how do we make a cell remember its original job? This connects to the information theory of aging, a concept David Sinclair pioneered, which proposes that cells essentially lose their identity over time.
Altered intercellular communication. As cells age, they stop communicating with each other properly, which compounds the damage over time.
Chronic inflammation (SASP). Senescence-associated secretory phenotype is the technical term, but simply put: your body accumulates "zombie cells" it can't clear out, and these cells release inflammatory signals that create a feedback loop of chronic inflammation.
Immunosenescence. Your immune system wears out too, and that's another major driver of chronic inflammation as you age.
Understanding these root mechanisms is the foundation of aging well, not just living longer, but living with real vigor and vitality.

I lost a significant amount of hair over the last two years due to stress. If you saw the before photos I posted, the center of my scalp was almost completely bare. And there was no easy fix, I'd already had a hair transplant for the front of my hairline, which meant there were no donor areas left to pull from for the middle.
So I had to approach this the same way I approach any chronic condition: look at the mechanisms and pathways driving it.
Here's what's worked for me:
Microneedling with high-quality exosomes/secretome, which targets multiple pathways at once. Frequency matters here. Monthly sessions for 6 to 9 months is often what's actually needed.
Stem cells, used occasionally, to help reawaken dormant hair follicles.
The right topical products. I use a customized extract from Hair Lincoln, and I really like Born Naturals' shampoo and conditioner.
Topical minoxidil, which I've stayed consistent with.
Dutasteride, a DHT inhibitor, to prevent further hair loss from happening again.
Hair loss isn't one-size-fits-all, and neither is the solution. This combination is what's worked for my biology, but the approach has to be individualized.

Jennifer Goodwin has lived with chronic pain for decades. Old injuries and a lifetime of athletics meant her body needed more than a quick fix. It needed a plan.

After Dr. Khan and the Eterna team treated her shoulder, hamstring, SI joint and foot, Jennifer is back to what she loves most: mountaineering. This year she summited some of the hardest routes of her life, including the Dent du Géant in Chamonix, without pain.

"I was told I needed a shoulder replacement. To me, stem cells really work."

The treatment is only half of it. The other half is structured aftercare. Athletes are notoriously bad at resting, and Jennifer credits her recovery team, including Dr. Sunny, with keeping her on track and giving her body the time it needed to heal.

Her story is a reminder that regenerative medicine isn't a single procedure. Preparing the body for the stem cells and the appropriate follow up after the procedure can be just as important.

Spots for our October 14th–17th Los Cabos trip with Dr. Luken are filling up. Comment "book now" before they're gone.

Most people have heard of peptides by now, but here's what they actually are: a peptide is essentially a baby protein, a chain of amino acids that sends your body a very specific signal to do a specific task.
Insulin? That's a peptide. In fact, it was one of the first peptides ever made, and its job is to signal your body to lower blood sugar. I never really thought about it that way until recently, insulin is basically the OG peptide.
That's also why GLP-1s like Ozempic, Mounjaro, and the newly approved Retatrutide have become so popular. They send a signal to decrease appetite. But newer-generation peptides like Retatrutide go further, they also help improve insulin sensitivity, meaning your body may process sugar more efficiently.
That's a real benefit beyond appetite suppression alone, and it's honestly why I'm a much bigger fan of Reta than I am of Ozempic. I've seen a lot of patients deal with side effects and issues on Ozempic that I just haven't seen with newer options.
Peptides aren't new. They're just getting smarter.

Struggling with anxiety? You're not alone, and a prescription isn't your only option.
More and more young patients come to us with anxiety and are told medication is the only path. But there are effective alternatives. Psychotherapy is one. Nutrition is another.
A large review of thousands of articles found a clear association between what you eat and how anxious you feel:
Higher anxiety was associated with processed foods and refined carbohydrates.
Lower anxiety was associated with omega-3s, micronutrient-rich foods, unprocessed foods, and anti-inflammatory foods.
So what can you do with this? Start with an anti-inflammatory diet fitted to your body. It's not one-size-fits-all, and Dr. Khan made a YouTube video on how to figure out what works for you.
The research also linked micronutrient supplementation to lower anxiety, so a strong, high-quality multivitamin may help cover your bases.
Nutrition is one piece of the puzzle. If anxiety is affecting your daily life, talk to your healthcare provider about the approach that's right for you.
