Avoid cracked Teflon pans to prevent microplastic exposure
A single crack on a Teflon pan can release around 9,100 microplastic particles, with a damaged coating releasing up to 2.3 million.
Utilize Botox to enhance male organ health and blood flow
Injecting Botox into male sexual organs can relax smooth muscle tissue and improve blood flow, a procedure offered at some regenerative clinics.
Utilize salmon sperm DNA and growth factors for innovative facial treatment
A novel facial treatment involves microneedling followed by applying DNA and growth factors derived from salmon sperm to the skin.
Infuse young plasma to boost energy and reduce sleep needs
Infusing plasma from young, healthy donors (18-25 years old) can dramatically increase energy levels and reduce the need for sleep.
Utilize drinkable ketones to enhance red blood cell production
Drinkable ketones like Ketone IQ can act as a natural EPO boost by activating HIF1-alpha pathways, which stimulates your body's own production of red blood cells for better oxygen delivery.
