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

1. Therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) uses established hospital technology in new ways to target aging and inflammation.
2. Clinical data from the Circulate Trial showed an average 2.6-year slowdown in biological aging after six treatments.
3. TPE may help reduce markers of inflammation, senescent cells, and even microplastics in the body.
4. Circulate Health partners with existing clinics instead of building its own, making the treatment more accessible.
5. 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.

🎙️ Full episode out now on The Daily Apple.

Key Takeaways

1. Exercise is one of the most underutilized prescriptions in healthcare.
2. Consistency matters more than motivation: treat workouts like brushing your teeth.
3. Muscle is “currency for aging” and protects against sarcopenia, osteoporosis, and poor outcomes later in life.
4. Exercise supports brain health by boosting BDNF and lowering dementia risk.
5. The right “dose” of strength and cardio is measurable and trackable, just like any other prescription.
6. 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

From NHL enforcer to mental health advocate: Daniel Carcillo’s story is as raw as it is redemptive. After a career defined by fights, concussions, and two Stanley Cups, Daniel found himself battling depression, dementia-like symptoms, and suicidal thoughts. His turning point came through an unexpected path: psychedelics.

“This medicine didn’t just ease my symptoms. It gave me back my brain, my purpose, and my relationships.”

In this conversation, Daniel shares how psilocybin and intentional healing practices helped him regain his health, rebuild his relationships, and create Experience Onward, a groundbreaking program offering safe, regulated access to psychedelic therapy. He opens up about the hard truths of hockey culture, the cost of repeated brain trauma, and the hope that comes from rewiring both the brain and the spirit.

Follow Daniel’s work on Instagram @DanielCarcillo13 and learn more at ExperienceOnward.com

Episode Takeaways

• What it meant to be an NHL “enforcer” — and the personal cost Daniel paid with over 1,200 penalty minutes and multiple concussions.
• The hidden toll of repeated brain trauma and why so many concussions go undiagnosed.
• Daniel’s turning point: losing a close friend, becoming a father, and facing his own brain health crisis.
• Why Daniel says one psilocybin experience gave him more healing in four hours than years of therapy and costly treatments combined.
• The science behind psychedelics: neuroplasticity, trauma processing, and why FDA trials are taking it seriously.
• Why safe, regulated access matters — and how Experience Onward is pioneering a new model of care.
• Daniel’s personal mission: helping others move beyond survival into true healing.

We all know movement is good for us. But can the right kind of exercise actually slow the aging process itself?

In this episode, Dr. Kevin White talks with Benjamin Miller, Ph.D., professor of aging research at OMRF and past president of the American Aging Association, about what really happens to our muscles and mitochondria as we age, and how his new NIH-funded clinical trial is working to answer one of the most important questions in longevity science: why do some people respond to exercise better than others?

"Every drug we study is just trying to be as good as exercise — and exercise still wins."

Dr. Miller explains the biology of aging in plain language, from protein damage to energy production, and shares why exercise still outperforms any “miracle drug” on the market. He also unpacks the design of his new trial, where people 60 and older will receive supervised training, advanced health testing, and wearables to measure everything from VO₂ max to sleep — all with the goal of predicting who benefits most from which type of exercise.

In this episode:

• Why exercise is still the closest thing we have to a longevity drug
• How mitochondria and protein health drive resilience as we age
• What VO₂ max actually measures — and why it predicts lifespan
• The role of genetics vs. lifestyle in how our bodies respond to training
• How to get involved in Dr. Miller’s NIH-backed exercise study at OMRF

This conversation is a reminder that slowing aging isn’t about hacks or shortcuts — it’s about moving, staying engaged, and using science to make every decade stronger than the last.

Most of us go to the doctor, get labs drawn, maybe even have a scan — and then never see the full picture of our own health. That’s changing.

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.

Emma shares her personal story, the inspiration behind Help Texts, and the surprising link between grief, brain plasticity, and long-term health.

They also break the news on Longevity Texts — a new service delivering expert-led, science-backed longevity tips straight to your phone. Whether you’re navigating loss yourself, supporting someone who is, or looking to build resilience for the years ahead, this episode offers practical, compassionate wisdom you can act on today.

In this episode:

• How grief impacts both healthspan and lifespan
• Why we often avoid talking about loss — and why that’s harmful
• The four tasks of healthy mourning (and how to apply them)
• The surprising ways our brains rewire during grief
• 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

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...
