Longevity, Microplastics, and the Medicine That Might Change It All with Brad Younggren
What if one of the most powerful tools for slowing biological aging has been hiding in plain sight for decades?
This week on The Daily Apple, Dr. Brad Younggren joins us to unpack therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) and why it could be a game-changer for longevity. Dr. Younggren is an emergency medicine physician, U.S. Army combat veteran, and now CEO and co-founder of Circulate Health . Under his leadership, Circulate has completed more than a thousand treatments across 24 clinics and published data showing an average 2.6-year slowdown in biological aging.
“Therapeutic plasma exchange isn’t just for rare hospital cases anymore. We’re learning it can lower inflammation, clear out harmful proteins, and even reduce microplastics — all things tied to how fast we age.” — Dr. Brad Younggren
We talk about:
What TPE actually is (and how it differs from a blood donation).
Results from the Circulate Trial and why they matter.
How plasma exchange impacts inflammation, senescent cells, and lipids.
Early research on microplastics and cognitive decline.
Why partnerships with clinics may be the fastest path to making longevity care more accessible.
Dr. Younggren also shares his own journey from combat medicine to pioneering new frontiers in healthspan, and where he sees longevity breakthroughs heading in the next decade.
🎙️ Listen now to learn how medicine, technology, and patient care are converging to help us live healthier, longer lives.
Takeaways
Therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) uses established hospital technology in new ways to target aging and inflammation.
Clinical data from the Circulate Trial showed an average 2.6-year slowdown in biological aging after six treatments.
TPE may help reduce markers of inflammation, senescent cells, and even microplastics in the body.
Circulate Health partners with existing clinics instead of building its own, making the treatment more accessible.
Longevity medicine is moving fast — but staying grounded in rigorous science and real patient data is essential.
Exercise is not just about looking good. It is medicine.
Dr. Mary Pardee is back with us to talk about why movement is one of the most powerful and most overlooked prescriptions we have. We get into muscle as “money in the bank” for aging, how to think about strength training if you hate weights, and why consistency beats motivation every single time.
Speaking about resilience and muscle, Dr. Pardee put it this way: “Yeah, it’s like a retirement account, right? Where you have something to fall back on if times get tough.”
We also cover sarcopenia, brain health, mitochondria, and the kind of “dose” of exercise that really changes your future. This one is packed with practical stuff you can use today.
Exercise is one of the most underutilized prescriptions in healthcare.
Consistency matters more than motivation: treat workouts like brushing your teeth.
Muscle is “currency for aging” and protects against sarcopenia, osteoporosis, and poor outcomes later in life.
Exercise supports brain health by boosting BDNF and lowering dementia risk.
The right “dose” of strength and cardio is measurable and trackable, just like any other prescription.
Building muscle gives you resilience: “Yeah, it’s like a retirement account, right? Where you have something to fall back on if times get tough.” — Dr. Mary Pardee

In this episode of The Daily Apple, Kevin talks with Travis Bond, founder of Bio Insights, about the future of electronic medical records (EMRs) and why they’re not just for doctors. EMRs are becoming the backbone of how patients can actually see, understand, and act on their health information.
This isn’t a tech episode for physicians. It’s a conversation about how you can be more connected, informed, and in charge of your own health journey. From making sure your care team is on the same page, to finally having your results and history in one place, EMRs are making it possible to move from confusion to clarity.
In this episode:
Why electronic medical records matter for patients, not just providers
How EMRs make it easier to track your own progress over time
The difference between “data overload” and “actionable information”
How a more connected record leads to better conversations with your doctor
What the future looks like when patients actually own their health story
It’s not about replacing your doctor. It’s about having the tools to understand what’s happening — and make decisions with confidence.

Thrilled to sit down for a fascinating conversation with longevity expert & avid cyclist Dr. Benjamin Miller from Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation & the President of the American Aging Association. I’ve been looking forward to our conversation for a long time. He is truly an authority in this space, and I learned a lot during our discussion.
We get to dive deep into the latest research concerning cellular energetics (mitochondrial dysfunction), and lean muscle maintenance (proteostasis), how they relate to aging, the importance of ‘energy on demand’ and steps we can take to slow this progression of decline, having a more robust healthy life.
Dr. Miller brings a fresh perspective to the conversation, challenging us to shift our mindset from ‘purposeful exercise’ to simply, ‘physical activity’ - how that along has tremendous benefits. The idea of exercise can be a bit daunting to many. Instead, simply focusing on making that first step- because going from doing nothing to doing something reaps huge dividends.
How in the world do we explain this episode? Today we have a conversation with my friend Brian Piccolo, who sounds like Bruce Springsteen and has spent his life "living like a boss" (forgive the Dad joke, but it had to be done).
From high school wrestling beginner to college wrestling punch bag to finally All American overcomer and Olympic hopeful. And when that was done, on to Judo on a whim...and one questionable call away from the Olympics.
The best way to describe this conversation is just to drop in some of the juicy one liners that peppered this pod and kept us coming back for more...and more...and more. And now, in no particular order, some nuggets for you...
Judo, it’s like wrestling in pajamas.
You know, all the illegal stuff from wrestling? You can do it in judo!
Are you on the path? Look how far you’ve come.
When you get through this, you’ll be better on the other side.
And last, but not least...
Would the “you” of today SMASH the “you” of 6 months ago?
On today's episode I'm talking with Dr. Mary Pardee, a renowned expert in the field of gut health and optimization. She is based in Los Angeles, California, and has established herself as a leading voice in the understanding and treatment of gastrointestinal issues and their connection to overall health.
In this episode, we delve into 2 big issues- gut health and sleep optimization. We discuss her insights and approach to gut health, the gut microbiome, the gut-brain connection, along with her own personal journey with this issue. We then shift gears to speak about sleep optimization - which stems from her personal story of a concussion sustained during a boating accident, leading to sleep issues, and how that was eventually treated with cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBTI).
Emma and I had a quick "download style" discussion about the importance and benefits of Vitamin D. Below are a few of the points we hit on in our conversation.

Immune system regulation
Cell differentiation and growth
Muscle function and strength
Cardiovascular health
Blood pressure management
Neurologic health
Anti-inflammatory
Cytokine release
Vitamin D receptors are spread all throughout the body...
The more you learn, the more you realize how essential Vitamin D is.
Grief is something we all face, yet most of us aren’t prepared for it — and it’s costing us more than we realize.

Why “doing nothing” is the worst way to support a grieving friend
How Help Texts and Longevity Texts are changing the way we give and receive support
Today is all about a great conversation with our friend Seneca Dewbre, who owns @okiepuncture. Acupuncture is one of those "if you know, you know" topics within the medical community that's not often talked about, but often used. We asked some of the most common questions as well as branching into other areas we've discussed in previous episodes (ice baths and saunas) as well as how it fits into a lifestyle focused on wellness and longevity.
If you're interested in some more detailed information, you can read an author manuscript here that discusses some of the benefits of acupuncture.

What’s his favorite exercise?
Are there different exercises that women should prioritize??

This is our very first AMA (Ask Me Anything) so our producer Brian stepped in to ask Kevin some questions to get the ball rolling.
We want to field questions from our listeners and clients in the future and be able to respond directly to what you're wondering about and just want some straight answers and thoughts.

As always, the goal of everything we do is to figure out how to not only live longer, but to also live better.
This episode is focused on the correlation between mental health and habits and trauma and its affects on our longterm health....kind of a "hot take" we mentioned in the previous episode. While it's admittedly a really aggressive idea, it's one worth discussing and considering.
Listen in to Part 2 of my conversation with Dr. Kevin Hoffarth of Biofit Medicine, a long time friend and colleague. His book, "Functional Medicine - The New Standard" is available on Amazon and a great introduction to a lot of ideas Prime Health Associates is built on. You can also follow his Instagram here.
This episode's title, "The Book Of Disease in Reverse" refers to the attempt to get in front of health problems instead of just reacting to them after they're already negatively impacting our lives. It's about looking at our bodies and our health and making adjustments ahead of time to "head off" future issues, which leads to better outcomes and an improved lifespan.
