Full Young Plasma Exchange (3-Day Protocol)

WhatRemove a total of 2 liters of the patient's own plasma over two days and replace with 3 liters of young donor plasma (18-25 male donors), beginning with IV fluid replacement on day 1.
WhenMulti-day: Day 1 remove 1L plasma, give IV Myers cocktail; Day 2 remove 1L more, infuse 2L young plasma; Day 3 infuse final 1L young plasma.
DoseTotal 3 liters young plasma infused, 2 liters old plasma removed.
For whomIndividuals seeking anti-aging, autoimmune patients who want antibody removal, and those wanting cognitive/physical rejuvenation. Available in Texas only.
WhyOld plasma contains senescence factors, inflammatory proteins, and antibodies; young plasma supplies growth factors, 1.84 billion exosomes per cc, and 'chronocines' that reset the aging clock systemically.
CaveatsContraindicated in clotting disorders or blood thinners due to removal of clotting factors. May cause transient histamine reaction. Requires donor-recipient blood type matching. Young plasma is only available in Texas under the Golden Gift Study.

Dr. Conwen explained that therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) has been used since the 1920s and FDA-approved since 1939, but typical TPE replaces with albumin, not young plasma. The young plasma approach is based on parabiosis research showing old mice given young blood become physically and cognitively younger. The 3-day protocol produces a gradual shift: first day dilutes old plasma with IV fluids to soften the impact, then young plasma is infused over two days to steeply shift the signaling environment. Patients report immediate energy and mental sharpness; a 70-year-old high-stress executive called to say his 'brain was on fire' and he'd been up since 5 a.m. with productivity. The clinic is part of the Golden Gift Study to measure epigenetic age changes pre and post procedure. Volume matters: the full protocol (2L out, 3L in) gives better results than a 'media change' of just 1L.

Mechanism

Plasma (52-55% of blood) is separated via centrifuge; old plasma is discarded. The young donor plasma contains over 10,000 proteins, 5,000+ peptides, high-concentration exosomes that transfer epigenetic instructions, and chronocines that signal the body to reverse aging processes. The removal of old plasma reduces inflammatory load and autoantibodies, while the infusion triggers systemic repair and stem cell activation.

Personal experience

Ben Greenfield experienced intense energy within hours, mild hives and itching that resolved, and mental clarity that kept him awake until 1 a.m. despite physical activity. Dr. Conwen shared the anecdote of the 70-year-old patient who felt an almost manic surge of cognition and energy.

the donated young plasma, it doesn't get old. It's the opposite. It's kind of influenced and it's called chronocines which is kind of like the messenger for time and it send the signal to the rest of the body to kind of like reset the aging clock.

Also said
“there's 1.84 billions of exoome. So these are the messenger tiny vesicle that really send messages and communicate to distant cells to with like the instruction what to do.”— Quantifies the massive exosome dose and explains the mechanism of action.
“the particular patient in his 70s... 'You just needs to know. I've been up since 5:00 in the morning. I've been through multiple business conversation and uh my brain is on fire.'”— Illustrates the immediate cognitive effect reported by a real patient.

P-Shot + Botox + Shockwave + Red Light for Penile Rejuvenation

WhatInject platelet-rich plasma (PRP) along the penile shaft, then inject 100 units of Botox into the erectile tissue, preceded by shockwave therapy and followed by red light wrap at home.
WhenSingle session; shockwave done immediately before injections. Red light therapy applied for 20 minutes before bed on subsequent nights.
DosePRP from patient's own blood; 100 units Botox; shockwave over treatment area; red light 20 min/night.
For whomMen with erectile dysfunction, Peyronie's disease, or those seeking enhanced erection quality and resting size.
WhyPRP regenerates tissue health, collagen, and microcirculation; Botox relaxes smooth muscle around blood vessels to increase blood inflow; shockwave primes repair cascade; red light enhances recovery.
CaveatsBotox is a paralytic but targets vascular smooth muscle, not the erection mechanism itself. Must screen for cardiovascular risk (ED as early sign). Not for those on blood thinners or with clotting issues. Numbing lotion is used for comfort.

Dr. Conwen notes this stack yields rapid results; Ben experienced a spontaneous erection hours later. He also uses shockwave and PRP to treat Peyronie's disease by breaking down scar tissue. Botox is often misunderstood as dangerous, but he argues it simply opens the vascular gate, and the increased resting girth is a welcome side effect. Red light therapy on the penis is used as a home maintenance tool. The entire protocol is performed under local numbing, described as 1-2 out of 10 discomfort.

Mechanism

Erection is driven by blood flow into erectile tissue. PRP delivers growth factors that encourage new blood vessel formation and collagen synthesis. Botox inhibits neurotransmitter release at the smooth muscle of vessel walls, causing vasodilation indirectly and allowing more blood to fill the corpora cavernosa. Shockwave applies acoustic energy to create microtrauma, triggering release of angiogenic growth factors. Red light photobiomodulation stimulates mitochondrial ATP production, aiding tissue repair.

Personal experience

Ben reported an out-of-context erection while dressing for pickleball and felt surprisingly ready within hours. Dr. Conwen previously gave himself the O-Shot to test similar procedures, showing consistent self-experimentation.

Botox works by relaxing the smooth muscle outside of all the blood vessel. So it just like open the gate for blood to flow in.

Also said
“another side benefit is that when not stimulated like at rest uh men also enjoy the size a little bit bigger.”— Highlights an additional cosmetic benefit of the Botox component.
“shockwave by itself is a lone standing therapy for many things... it's based on the energy from sound wave to create tiny injuries in the treatment area and then the body would recognize that and turn on the cascade of repair.”— Explains why shockwave is used as a primer in this protocol.

V-Cell Stem Cell Facial with Salmon Sperm DNA

WhatFacial rejuvenation including injections of young plasma, exosomes, laser-activated PRP, followed by micro-needling and topical application of purified salmon sperm DNA.
WhenSingle session, recommended every 3 months or at least once a year.
DoseOne treatment; salmon sperm DNA applied immediately after micro-needling.
For whomAnyone seeking skin rejuvenation, refined texture, and even tone.
WhyInjected biologics restore collagen, exosomes deliver regenerative messages, micro-needling creates absorption channels, and salmon sperm DNA boosts collagen and creates 'glass skin' texture.
CaveatsSustainability concerns about salmon population are unsubstantiated because male sperm is abundant. Not to be used on genitals.

Dr. Conwen explained that Korea is the centre of aesthetic innovation and this salmon sperm treatment is a highly sought-after procedure there. The clinic integrates it as the finishing layer after more intensive injectables. He personally tried it on his face to validate safety and efficacy. The treatment is separate from the P-Shot or genital applications. He views it as part of an annual maintenance strategy for skin.

Mechanism

Young plasma and exosomes provide growth factors and signaling molecules. PRP released from platelets activated by laser. Micro-needling punctures the stratum corneum to allow penetration of large molecules. Salmon sperm DNA, rich in nucleotides, may enhance dermal fibroblast activity and collagen gene expression, although exact mechanism wasn't detailed. The combination aims to mimic embryonic-level regeneration to achieve the ultra-smooth 'glass skin' look popular in Korean aesthetics.

Personal experience

Dr. Conwen: 'I tried that on my face first.' He also gave himself the O-Shot to test pain and procedure.

this is the region faceelift. We use young plasma dell stem cell exoome and the salmon to top it off.

Also said
“salmon sperm DNA purification... who would have thought of this like putting salmon Korean... the known glass skin procedure.”— Emphasizes the novelty and Korean origin of the treatment.

O-Shot (Orgasm Shot) for Female Sexual Function

WhatInject PRP or biologics into the G-spot area (internal) and into the clitoris to enhance tissue health, lubrication, sensation, and tightness.
WhenSingle session, numbed.
DosePRP injection around G-spot and clitoris.
For whomWomen with sexual dysfunction or wanting enhanced sexual sensation.
WhyRegenerates vaginal tissue, improves sexual function naturally.
CaveatsRequires internal injection; performed under local numbing. As with all PRP, effectiveness depends on growth factor concentration.

Dr. Conwen was trained under Dr. Charles Runels, inventor of the P-Shot and O-Shot. He describes the O-Shot as the functional equivalent of the P-Shot for women, targeting the G-spot and clitoris. There is also an aesthetic-only 'wings lift' for labia using a thin mixture of PRP and filler for instant natural lift. Dr. Conwen tested the O-Shot on himself with a mirror to understand the experience.

Mechanism

PRP contains platelets which degranulate to release growth factors (PDGF, TGF-β, VEGF) that stimulate angiogenesis, collagen production, and nerve regeneration in the treated areas, improving blood flow, lubrication, and sensitivity.

Personal experience

Dr. Conwen: 'I gave myself the O shot, too. So I like a mirror and gave myself the O shot.'

we inject for women either we collect PRP or other biologics and then we the area is numb... we're going to inject around the G-spot area and also right into the clitoris.

Also said
“the OOT is a functional procedure where you improve sexual function. The wings lift is just for aesthetic... instant result and it's natural.”— Clarifies the distinction between functional and aesthetic components of female genital rejuvenation.

Personalized Peptide Therapy (Neo7 Bioscience)

WhatProvide blood and urine samples to Neo7 Bioscience for machine-learning analysis, then obtain 120 vials of custom-designed peptides targeting individual aging pathways, injected twice weekly for 6-9 months.
WhenAfter analysis, ongoing treatment.
Dose120 vials, inject twice weekly, program lasts 6-9 months. Option to combine with IV, nasal, or subQ, and exosome delivery.
For whomIndividuals with specific aging-related concerns or diseases like ALS, wanting personalized anti-aging.
WhyAddresses each person's unique molecular aging profile rather than using off-the-shelf peptides, potentially offering more precise anti-aging intervention.
CaveatsRequires doctor oversight. Peptides are custom-made and not studied in large trials. Cost likely high. Must be stored in freezer.

Dr. Conwen cites the case of an ALS patient whose report lit up all neural-related pathways as abnormal, guiding the peptide design. He sees this as the next evolution beyond generic peptides like BPC-157, offering a truly tailored approach. The company uses a compounding pharmacy for production, and the doctor can layer in exosome delivery or other known peptides. He stresses that it's still early but extremely promising alongside plasma exchange.

Mechanism

The platform compares the patient's biomarker profile against a database of aging pathways (mitochondrial dysfunction, inflammation, DNA instability, etc.), identifies the most aberrant pathways, and designs amino acid sequences predicted to correct those pathways via agonism or antagonism of specific receptors or enzyme modulation. Augmented peptides like SS-31 can be added for mitochondrial support.

the machine will kind of point out all the faulty pathways and then have the ranking to design the peptides to actually counteract and fix those abnormalities.

Also said
“we have the option of using exoome for better delivery as well.”— Describes how delivery can be optimized beyond simple injection.

Young Plasma Exchange via actual young donor plasma (not just albumin) – legal only in Texas

Dr. Conwen performs a therapeutic plasma exchange where the removed old plasma is replaced with fresh frozen plasma from vetted college-age donors, not merely albumin or IV fluids. This goes beyond standard TPE and is only available in the state of Texas through the Golden Gift Study.

Why this matters: Most clinics offering ‘plasma exchange’ replace volume with albumin; Conwen claims true rejuvenation comes only when swapping in young plasma, which contains 1.84 billion exosomes per cc and ‘chronocines’ that reset the aging clock.

Background

Parabiosis experiments in the 1950s showed that aged mice sharing blood with young mice became physically and cognitively younger. Plasma transfusion has been FDA-approved since 1939, but using explicitly young screened donors for cosmetic aging reversal is a newer, tightly regulated frontier.

Dr. Conwen detailed that plasma constitutes 52-55% of whole blood and contains over 10,000 proteins, 5,000+ peptides (including LL-37 and growth factors), and massive amounts of exosomes. The clinic sources plasma from pre-qualified college students aged 18-25, tested for the same pathogens as standard blood transfusions. The full protocol removes 2 liters of the patient's old plasma over two days and replaces it with 3 liters of young donor plasma, inducing a systemic ‘reset’ that he and his patients describe as a surge of energy, mental clarity, and reduced inflammation. He argues that the young plasma's exosomes and chronocines influence the recipient's epigenetic expression, not just passive replacement, and that the effect is systemic – hair, skin, and cognition improve.

Personal experience

Ben Greenfield experienced a strong histamine reaction (hives, itching) that resolved by evening, then felt an enormous energy boost: he stayed up until 1 a.m. reading, needed an antihistamine to sleep, and reported feeling like going clubbing despite having already played 2 hours of pickleball.

the donated young plasma, it doesn't get old. It's the opposite. It's kind of influenced and it's called chronocines which is kind of like the messenger for time and it send the signal to the rest of the body to kind of like reset the aging clock.

Also said
“there's 1.84 billions of exoome. So these are the messenger tiny vesicle that really send messages and communicate to distant cells to with like the instruction what to do.”— Quantifies the key active component – exosomes – driving the regeneration signal.

Botox injected into penile erectile tissue to increase blood flow and size, not for paralysis

Dr. Conwen injects 100 units of Botox along the penile shaft into the erectile tissue to relax smooth muscle around blood vessels, thereby opening blood flow and increasing both erection quality and resting girth.

Why this matters: People typically associate Botox with paralysis; here it specifically targets vascular smooth muscle to enhance erection, contradicting both the fear of impotence and the myth that the penis lacks muscle.

Background

Botox has been used cosmetically for wrinkles, but its use in urology for ED is novel. Conwen combines it with the P-Shot (PRP) and shockwave to create a multi-modal regenerative stack.

Botox works by relaxing the smooth muscle that surrounds blood vessels in the penis, acting like opening a gate for blood inflow. This is distinct from direct vasodilators like Viagra or from the tissue-regrowing effect of PRP. The result is not only better erections but also an increase in resting flaccid size and girth because more blood remains in the tissue. Conwen pairs it with shockwave therapy (sound waves creating micro-injuries that trigger repair) and red light therapy as a post-treatment accelerator. He screened Ben for cardiovascular risk because ED can be an early sign of heart disease.

Personal experience

Ben reported a spontaneous erection while just getting dressed for pickleball within hours of the treatment, a response he found surprising and attributed to the combined protocol.

Botox works by relaxing the smooth muscle outside of all the blood vessel. So it just like open the gate for blood to flow in.

Also said
“another side benefit is that when not stimulated like at rest uh men also enjoy the size a little bit bigger.”— Highlights the unexpected cosmetic benefit of increased resting dimensions.
“we did the shock wave to kind of like prime the the tissue to regenerate.”— Shows the reasoning behind combining modalities.

Salmon sperm DNA purified and used in micro-needling facials for 'glass skin'

Dr. Conwen applies purified salmon sperm DNA onto the face after micro-needling to stimulate collagen production and create a refined, glowing complexion, a Korean aesthetic technique he tested on himself.

Why this matters: Using salmon sperm DNA as a topical regenerative agent is a novel concept in Western aesthetic medicine and represents the convergence of Korean skincare and biologics.

Background

Korean aesthetic culture is obsessed with poreless, flawless skin ('glass skin'), and salmon sperm DNA has become a trendy ingredient there for its collagen-boosting properties.

The treatment is part of the full 'region faceelift' where young plasma, exosomes, and laser-activated PRP are first injected, then micro-needling is performed to create tiny channels, and salmon sperm DNA is applied topically to absorb deeply. Conwen noted that males produce abundant sperm so sustainability isn't a concern. He recommends this once a year or every 3 months for maintenance. He distinguishes it from the P-Shot; salmon sperm is not used on genitals.

Personal experience

Dr. Conwen: 'I tried that on my face first.' He also gave himself the O-Shot to test it, demonstrating his practice of self-experimentation.

salmon sperm DNA purification... who would have thought of this like putting salmon Korean... the known glass skin procedure.

Also said
“you can do that every 3 months. Every month you if you want to. Most of my patient I recommend that once a year.”— Gives practical frequency and patient recommendation for the salmon sperm facial.

Personalized peptides designed by machine learning from Neo7 Bioscience replace off-the-shelf peptides

Neo7 Bioscience analyzes a patient's blood and urine with AI to design custom peptide sequences targeting specific faulty aging pathways, then a compounding pharmacy produces a 6-9 month supply of injectables.

Why this matters: Moves beyond popular named peptides like BPC-157 to fully individualized, machine-learning-derived amino acid chains that theoretically address each person's unique aging drivers.

Background

Current peptide therapies are usually generic, off-the-shelf sequences. Conwen's clinic is an early adopter of a platform that creates unique peptides per individual, which he says is the next level.

After testing, the platform highlights pathways related to the eight hallmarks of aging (mitochondria, inflammation, DNA stability, microbiome, etc.) and ranks the most problematic ones. For an ALS patient, all neural-related pathways lit up abnormal. The peptide mixture is then formulated, sent to the patient as 120 frozen vials, and injected twice weekly. Conwen can add exosome delivery or augment with known peptides like SS-31 or clot (cloth?) to stack effects.

the machine will kind of point out all the faulty pathways and then have the ranking to design the peptides to actually counteract and fix those abnormalities.

Also said
“we have the option of using exoome for better delivery as well.”— Shows the flexibility in administration to enhance the custom peptide uptake.

Neo7 Bioscience Personalized Peptide Program

Service

A company that uses AI to design custom peptides based on an individual's blood and urine analysis. Dr. Conwen offers it through his clinic.

The process involves sending samples to Neo7 Bioscience, which runs them through a machine-learning platform to identify faulty aging pathways. They then design and have a compounding pharmacy produce 120 vials of peptides unique to the patient. The therapy lasts 6-9 months with twice-weekly injections. Dr. Conwen has used it on an ALS patient with pathway-specific results.

vs alternatives

In contrast to generic peptide stacks like BPC-157 or TB-500, this is entirely individualized and based on computational biology, which Dr. Conwen views as a superior, precision approach.

Neo7 bioscience... collect your blood and urine and then that will get sent to the company to get analyzed using a machine learning platform.

Red Light Wrap for Penis

Tool

A red light therapy device wrapped around the penis for 20 minutes nightly to enhance recovery after P-Shot and Botox.

Dr. Conwen included this as an at-home adjunct to the in-clinic protocol. Red light photobiomodulation is thought to improve mitochondrial function and blood flow, aiding the regenerative process.

vs alternatives

No comparison provided.

Personal experience

Ben used it each night, putting it on before bed as part of the 20-minute routine.

I've been putting getting into bed 20 minutes early so I can wrap that thing around.

Shockwave Therapy Machine

Tool

Device that delivers acoustic waves to create micro-injuries for tissue repair, used on penis for ED and on joints (shoulder, knee).

Dr. Conwen uses shockwave as a primer before injections because the sound-wave-induced microtrauma triggers the body's repair cascade, making the tissue more receptive to PRP and other biologics. It is a standalone therapy for ED, studied for improving blood flow and breaking down plaque.

vs alternatives

No comparison provided.

Personal experience

Ben had shockwave on his knee and penis, describing it as comfortable with numbing.

shockwave by itself is a lone standing therapy for many things ED including ED and joint tendon ligament. Um the way it work is that it's based on the energy from sound wave to create tiny injuries in the treatment area and then the body would recognize that and turn on the cascade of repair.

Golden Gift Study (Young Plasma Exchange)

Service Sponsored · disclosed

A clinical study based in Texas tracking epigenetic and biomarker changes before and 6 months after youth plasma exchange.

DisclosureDr. Conwen is a co-investigator in the study.

Started in 2022, the study measures biological age via methylation clocks, inflammatory markers, organ-specific ages, brain function, balance, and physical performance. Participants can opt into the follow-up testing. This provides the only structured data on the longevity effects of young plasma exchange in humans. The study is cited as one reason for Texas's unique allowance of the procedure.

vs alternatives

Unlike anecdotal reports, the study aims to produce peer-reviewed data on plasma exchange for aging.
