Balance is freeing. Two things can be true at once. You can be metabolically fit and muscular and exercise have lower cardiac disease risk and you can also follow Apo B and lower it under 65 to reduce cardiac risk. One does not cancel the other and if we are truly practicing anti aging medicine we cannot ignore the fact that apo B is causative of MI and CVA regardless of your CRP, homocysteine, blood pressure, insulin sensitivity or physique. Ignoring apo B is foolish at this point in the cumulative data.
BPC-157 while not robustly studied has proven in my clinical practice time and time again to heal injuries beyond explanation.

This rule has been in place since 2021 but was not enforced during Biden era. Starting TODAY — hospitals hiding prices from patients will face federal enforcement. $2 million dollar per year fines (should be higher imo).
I’d like to see more specialists post their prices online like the Oklahoma Surgery Center does.
I’ll demand this from local specialists and imaging centers. They still hide prices as was the old way.
Americans deserve to know what healthcare actually costs before they get the bill. Patients at Iron DPC have access to the compound pharmacy price lists and lab prices found in the links in my newsletters. All patients have to do is read and they will know.
This is what MAHA looks like in action. Patient power over hospital secrecy.
At Iron DPC we’ve always listed membership prices on the website. Just honest, affordable care the way it should be.
If more practices followed this model, we wouldn’t need federal crackdowns. Real change starts with providers who put patients first.
What wildly different prices have you been quoted for the same procedure? Drop it in the comments.

Let’s demand better. Share this if you support real healthcare transparency!

Would you pay $2/week to improve quality of life post menopause? Increase energy, libido, vitality, hair and nail strength, skin turgor? Would you spend $2/week to eliminate hot flashes, to improve bone density and reduce the risk of fractures with age? What about improving collagen synthesis and arterial pliability and improving perfusing to the brain thus improving cognition?
Let’s to break down the cost of estradiol injections to help address any worries about the price. Here’s how it works out:
The vial contains 20 mg of estradiol per mL, and the full vial is 5 mL.
That means one vial has a total of 100 mg of estradiol.
If a vial costs $90.
Cost per mg = $90 ÷ 100 mg = $0.90 per mg
If you’re injecting about 2 mg per week, so:
Weekly cost = 2 mg × $0.90 = $1.80 per week
That’s only about $1.80 per injection — much lower than most people expect!
One full vial should last you roughly 50 weeks (almost a full year), depending on exact dosing and minimal waste.
This assumes you’re able to use the vial fully before it expires and that there’s very little medication left in the syringe after each injection. In real life the cost is still right around $1.80–$2.00 per week.
Some patients like a little higher dose perhaps 2mg every 4-5 days or 4mg/wk. That’d still less than a coffee at Starbucks.
