Release Date: March 5, 2025
Host: Sean Kelly
Introduction
In the 1219th episode of Digital Social Hour, host Sean Kelly delves into the intriguing world of biohacking with Tracy Andresen and Haley Elder from Rise Rejuvenation Center. The conversation explores cutting-edge treatments, ethical considerations in the med spa industry, and the societal pressures influencing beauty standards, particularly in Utah. This episode provides a comprehensive overview of innovative biohacking treatments aimed at enhancing both physical health and sexual function.
Stem Cells and Regulatory Landscape
Sean Kelly opens the discussion by highlighting the growing interest in stem cell therapies.
Tracy Andresen emphasizes the uniqueness of Rise Rejuvenation Center's approach to stem cells:
“Stem cells is major. I think the biggest thing about stem cells that has been big for us is that a lot of people still think that the only place to get stem cells is out of the US but we offer them and love them, and it's like futuristic medicine. It's fantastic.” (01:35)
The conversation reveals that Utah has specific regulations allowing the use of placental stem cells without FDA approval, positioning the state as a hub for advanced regenerative therapies. This regulatory environment enables Rise Rejuvenation Center to offer high-quality, affordable stem cell treatments sourced from healthy, young mothers undergoing planned C-sections.
“We have access to it in the United States. The pricing is so much better, the efficacy and the stem cells that we get. Are incredible quality. So it's just nice to have that.” (02:56)
Beauty Standards and Societal Pressures in Utah
A significant portion of the episode addresses the intense beauty standards prevalent in Utah. Haley Elder and Tracy Andresen discuss how societal expectations drive women to seek various cosmetic procedures to achieve an idealized appearance.
“Incredibly high. They're incredibly high. It's difficult to hit. Yeah. Yeah.” (03:41)
The hosts explain that the cultural environment in Utah fosters a "keeping up with the Joneses" mentality, pushing individuals to maintain not just physical beauty but also success in other life aspects, such as career and family.
“As great as it is to have so many beautiful people, it's also super toxic, you know, because people have this bar that feels unreachable, and everyone's faking it, really.” (04:38)
To counteract these pressures, Rise Rejuvenation Center aims to provide a space where clients can focus on personal wellness and empowerment rather than conforming to societal standards.
Revolutionary Treatments: O Shots and P Shots
The episode delves into specialized treatments designed to enhance sexual function, namely O Shots for women and P Shots for men.
O Shots involve injecting platelet-rich fibrin derived from the patient's own blood into erogenous zones to improve sensation, blood flow, and libido.
“We're able to get better sensation, better blood flow, better libido needle. So we have women that come in to restore sexual function. It's incredible. Very popular procedure. Very, very safe.” (09:16)
P Shots serve a similar purpose for men, aiming to increase sensitivity, girth, length, and sexual performance.
“Everyone wants a super dick. What can I say? It's true.” (10:23)
The hosts highlight the confidentiality and efficacy of these treatments, noting strong client satisfaction and repeat business.
“We've had yet to have a man that doesn't like, return for a treatment. It's just good.” (10:56)
Ethical Considerations in Med Spa Practices
A recurring theme in the discussion is the ethical responsibility of med spa providers. Tracy Andresen emphasizes the importance of honesty and patient well-being over profit.
“I'd rather make no money and feel like sleep at night and feel good about what I'm doing and not misleading people.” (08:42)
The duo critiques practices that overfill clients with procedures, leading to unnatural and unsatisfactory results. They advocate for a "less is more" philosophy, prioritizing natural enhancements over extreme alterations.
“Like we always say, it is good to look. I would rather look old than odd. Good to look normal.” (07:07)
Innovative Procedures and Future Developments
The conversation also touches on emerging treatments such as P Long, a procedure combining PRF injections with a traction system and penis pump, aiming to increase penile length and girth. However, Tracy and Haley express reservations about the practicality and invasiveness of the traction component.
“The traction is sounding barbaric.” (12:15)
They suggest focusing on performance-based improvements rather than solely on physical enhancements.
“If we're going that hard, we're feeling that desperate for length, maybe we ought to focus on being more performance based.” (13:55)
Media Influence and Public Perception
Sean Kelly and the guests discuss the impact of media appearances, such as their feature on "Secret Lives of Mormon Wives." While the show brought both positive attention and controversy—particularly around the use of laughing gas—the hosts remain committed to their ethical standards and community-focused approach.
“But you can't win them all, but that's definitely caused some controversy. We did some dissolving on one of the girls that has been interesting to see.” (15:19)
Discussion on Prominent Biohackers
The episode concludes with a debate about influential figures in the biohacking community, specifically Brian Johnson and Ben Greenfield. Tracy praises Johnson's dedication to research and education but remains skeptical about the commercialization and accessibility of his methods.
“His information and research is valuable, but probably not to the extent that we think it is.” (23:27)
Haley echoes this sentiment, emphasizing the importance of foundational health practices like diet and exercise over complex biohacking techniques.
“First, if you have a history of heart disease or you have pre diabetes or something, get that in line, get your diet and exercise in line, and then you can start doing things like exosomes and peptides and all these other helpful tools.” (24:58)
Conclusion and Promotions
In the final segment, Tracy and Haley provide information on how listeners can engage with Rise Rejuvenation Center. They offer a discount for podcast listeners and promote their website and social media channels.
