What if a therapy first used in medicine in the 1950s could offer new insights into biological aging? 👀

In Episode 22, Dr. Felice and Dr. Brett Haake explore therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE), also known as plasmapheresis, and the research bringing it into the longevity conversation. They break down how the procedure works, how it differs from dialysis, and what researchers have discovered about its potential role in immune system regulation and biological age.

From the Conboy lab research at UC Berkeley to the 2022 human study that helped advance this field, the science behind TPE is opening up fascinating questions about the future of longevity medicine.

At Ikaria Concierge & Functional Medicine, we believe understanding the research is an important part of exploring what’s next in personalized healthcare. 🎧

Could therapeutic plasma exchange play a role in the future of preventive medicine? 🧬

Therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) is being studied for its potential to influence immune function and support a deeper understanding of disease prevention and healthy aging. While research is still evolving, this therapy is opening up important conversations about the future of longevity medicine and proactive healthcare.

Your chronological age tells you how many years you’ve lived, but what does your biological age say about your body? 🧬

In this clip, Dr. Felice and Dr. Brett Haake break down the concept of the biological clock and how researchers define biological aging. It’s an important distinction in the growing field of longevity medicine, where scientists are exploring what biological age can tell us about health and aging.

We’re so grateful for opportunities to connect with our community and have meaningful conversations about women’s health! 💗

Our Nurse Practitioner, Rachel Polich, had the privilege of speaking at The Pink Edit at Calvetti & Co., where a wonderful group of women gathered for an important conversation about breast health.

As a nurse practitioner, one of Rachel’s greatest passions is helping women feel informed, empowered, and confident in advocating for their own health.

Breast cancer awareness is incredibly important, but the conversation shouldn't stop at awareness. Understanding individual risk factors, asking questions, making informed screening decisions, and having healthcare providers who truly know you are all important parts of taking charge of your health.

Rachel closed her talk with a meaningful reminder that the pink ribbon represents so much more than awareness. It represents the women behind the diagnoses, their stories, their courage, their resilience, and the reminder that no woman should ever be defined by a diagnosis.

The pink ribbon reminds us to care. Knowledge helps us take action.

Because every woman deserves more than a pink ribbon. She deserves to be seen, heard, informed, and supported. 💗

A heartfelt thank you to Calvetti & Co. for creating such a beautiful space for women to come together, learn, and support one another!!

What if metabolic health is one of the most important pieces of the longevity puzzle? 🧬

Our metabolism does more than regulate weight. It plays a role in how our cells function, how our bodies produce energy, and how we age over time. Understanding the connection between metabolic health and chronic disease can change the way we think about long-term wellness.

In Episode 16, we explore the idea that many diseases share underlying metabolic factors and why a proactive, personalized approach to health matters.

Could the body’s ability to use ketones for energy offer new insights into cancer metabolism? 🧬

Ketosis changes how the body fuels itself, shifting toward fat as an energy source and increasing ketone production. Researchers are exploring how these metabolic changes may interact with cancer cells, opening important conversations about metabolism, nutrition, and personalized approaches to health.

In this clip, we discuss the connection between ketosis and cancer metabolism, and why understanding the body’s energy pathways matters. While research is ongoing, ketosis is not a proven treatment or cure for cancer.

Have you ever wondered why skin tags seem to appear out of nowhere? 👀

Skin tags are common and usually harmless, but research has found an association between skin tags and insulin resistance, a condition that affects how the body responds to insulin. They can be one piece of a bigger conversation about metabolic health and the signals our bodies may be giving us.

In this clip, we discuss the link between skin tags and insulin resistance, highlighting why looking beyond the surface can be an important part of a personalized, functional medicine approach to wellness.

“What do you think about peptides?”

It’s one of the questions we hear most in our practice. And it deserves a thoughtful, research-based answer. 🔬

That’s why we’re partnering with Lo Med for The Peptide Talk, an open Q&A hosted at Vero Strength.

Join us for an honest conversation about what peptides are, what the current research suggests, and how we think about them as part of a proactive approach to health and longevity.

Bring your questions. We hope to answer them!

It begins decades before you notice the symptoms 🧠

Alzheimer’s disease is a biological process that can develop 10 to 20 years in advance. The good news? That long runway gives us a critical window of opportunity to take control of our brain health and actively reduce our risk long before cognitive decline sets in.

We sat down with veteran neurologist Dr. Jim Schaefer to break down the most impactful, science-backed lifestyle strategies for long-term cognitive protection:

1️⃣ Target Insulin Resistance: Neuron glucose dysregulation is heavily linked to cognitive decline. Keeping your metabolic markers in check is critical for brain health.

2️⃣ Prioritize Daily Movement: Regular exercise supports neuroplasticity, blood flow, and metabolic function—making it non-negotiable for brain longevity.

3️⃣ Control Your Blood Pressure: Vascular health directly dictates brain health. Managing blood pressure significantly lowers your risk of vascular damage.

4️⃣ Optimize Diet & Nutrition: Eating clean, nutrient-dense foods fuels cellular repair and protects your neuronal pathways.

5️⃣ Evaluate Hormone Levels Early: For women going through perimenopause or menopause, replacing declining estrogen (with bioidentical hormones) can help protect memory and vascular integrity.

6️⃣ Start Proactive Risk Screening: Don't wait for memory lapses. Assessing your lipids, metabolic profile, and genetic markers (like APOE status) in your 30s or 40s sets the foundation for lifelong protection.

7️⃣ Cut Out Toxic Stressors: Smoking and excess alcohol accelerate cellular inflammation and increase neurodegenerative risk.

At Ikaria, we are passionate about shifting the conversation from reactive care to proactive prevention. Understanding what is happening inside your body early on is at the absolute heart of functional medicine and cognitive wellness. 💙

Could GLP-1 medications play a role in protecting brain health?

As research continues to uncover the connection between metabolic dysfunction, insulin resistance, and Alzheimer’s disease, medications like GLP-1s are becoming part of a much bigger conversation.

But medication is only one piece of the picture. In this clip, Dr. Brett discusses the importance of maintaining muscle, supporting bone health, and building the metabolic habits that help protect long-term health, rather than relying on medication alone.

At Ikaria, we look at metabolic health as part of the bigger picture of longevity, including the factors that may influence cognitive health years before symptoms appear.
