People sometimes ask me: why did you become an OB-GYN? The short answer is countertransference (or empathizing too much with the patient). When a provider starts to empathize with patients, it can be good. But when so much of pediatrics is vaccinating the unconsented, and regular medicine is managing chronic illness or acute emergencies, OB-GYN provides the perfect balance of long-term relationships and, almost always, happy interactions.

From 1993 to 2010, I practiced OB-GYN and witnessed a couple of interesting transformations. There was a brief challenge to hormone replacement therapy for all, and there was the invention of egg freezing (unfertilized embryos).

Ostensibly, this gave women with other priorities the ability to cheat the biological clock that many women don’t know or don’t want to believe exists.

The Reality Most Women Don’t Understand

Most patients don’t truly understand their menstrual cycle, menopause, or why conception becomes difficult after 43—despite being able to menstruate until 50.

Assisted reproduction typically involves pituitary hormone self-injection to produce multiple follicles, followed by transvaginal egg extraction. It’s expensive, physically taxing, and carries risks like ovarian hyperstimulation.

A Better Path Forward

In this week’s Recharge Biomedical Podcast, we speak with multi-hyphenate actor, dancer, producer, and writer Izabella Miko. Since I met her a year and a half ago, I can say the 11 exosome treatments she received appear to have restored her ovarian function, remodeled her vascular system, and put her into a physical, mental, and spiritual peak state despite her advancing age.

I was speaking with a friend last night and told him: if you had $72,000 and twelve months, I genuinely believe monthly exosome treatments are effective for anti-aging. I also have a gentleman at 78 who received 16 treatments. His entire vasculature, hair pigmentation, erectile function—not to mention aches and pains—have all resolved.

The Math on Rejuvenation

While most people like me any my mom treat problems reactively (whack-a-mole style when something hurts), these two monthly-treatment patients suggest a proactive approach rejuvenates at least 8 years of aging.

Based on their outcomes, I’d estimate they’ve achieved genuine biological rejuvenation—not just symptom management.
