PRP Facials, Stem Cells & Anti-Aging Secrets: A Naturopathic Doctor Explains Everything

What if you could reverse aging, heal injuries, and restore your skin — using your own blood? In this episode of the Beauty Lab Podcast, hosts Monina and Velia sit down with Dr. Josh Donaldson, naturopathic physician and founder of Longevity Medical Institute (Los Gatos & Santa Cruz, CA), for one of the most eye-opening conversations we've ever had. Dr. Josh walks us through the science and real-world results behind PRP therapy (platelet rich plasma), the famous "vampire facial," stem cell therapy, ozone therapy, red light therapy, and more — including how these treatments are being used for everything from joint pain to anti-aging to brain regeneration. If you've been curious about what actually goes into a PRP facial, how stem cells are changing medicine, or what naturopathic medicine even is. WHAT'S COVERED: • How Dr. Josh went from architecture school to 19 years in naturopathic medicine • What ozone therapy is and why it's like "legal blood doping" for athletes • PRP (platelet rich plasma) — what it is, how it's made, and what it treats • The vampire facial explained — microneedling, injections, and what to expect • PRP for hair restoration — what it does and how often you need it • Stem cell therapy — allogeneic vs. autologous, and the incredible results Dr. Josh has seen • Exosomes — the nanoparticles crossing the blood-brain barrier for neurological repair • Red light therapy + GLP-1 peptides for weight loss and fat mobilization • NAD, glutathione, methylene blue, and other mitochondrial boosters ALL THE LINKS: https://veliabeautyco.com/blogs/news/... 🎧 Listen to the Beauty Lab Podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts & more. 💋 Visit Velia Beauty Co at veliabeautyco.com | Use code THEBEAUTYLABPODCAST for 20% off. #prpfacial #VampireFacial #StemCellTherapy #NaturopathicMedicine #OzoneTherapy #AntiAging #RedLightTherapy #BeautyLabPodcast #LongevityMedicine #BiohackingBeauty ***Welcome to The Beauty Lab Podcast, your ultimate guide to demystifying beauty myths, exploring trends, and making informed decisions about your beauty routine.
