Today, I'm blessed to have here with me, Dr. Amy Killen, Board
Certified in Emergency Medicine with 10+ years of direct patient
care she has been practicing Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine
for more than five years.
Dr. Killen is fellowship trained in Anti-Aging and Regenerative
Medicine through the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine and
has done extensive additional training in aesthetics, platelet rich
plasma and stem cells, hair restoration, bio-identical hormones,
nutrition, fitness and sexual health.
Dr. Killen is the Medical Director of BioRestoration Medical, a
busy clinic with a comprehensive, integrative approach to health
located in Draper, Utah. She also works at Docere Medical in Park
City, Utah with Dr. Harry Adelson, providing cutting edge
regenerative medical treatments for a host of different
conditions.
Dr. Killen has spoken internationally about PRP and stem cells,
as well as sexual longevity and skin health. She also teaches
physician training courses, outlining current best practices for
using regenerative medicine in aesthetics and sexual
optimization.
In this episode, Dr. Killen dives deep into her background and
explains what inspired her to start working in regenerative
medicine. Dr. Killen explains what exactly stem cells are – we all
have them, and they are responsible for the upkeep of our organs.
There are loads of things that we can do to activate our stem
cells, including exercise, eating nitrate-rich foods, and red light
therapy. Stay tuned as Dr. Killen gives anti-aging tips and
explains how to fix dark circles under your eyes.

[00:30] About Dr. Killen
- Killen worked in an emergency department for ten years total.
She suffered from both stress and sleeplessness. At the same time,
Dr. Killen was seeing patients with the same complaints. Amy
realized that she couldn’t help her patients until she helped
herself.
- Amy learned about regenerative medicine and decided to quit the
emergency department.
- In the ER, you deal with what you have right in front of
you.
- In regenerative medicine, you focus on five or ten years before
disease onset. It may take even a year before her treatment is
effective.
- Killen focuses on skin, hair, and sexual function.
[03:30] About Stem Cells
- Everybody already has stem cells! They are the master cells of
your body and are present in every tissue of your body.
- Stem cells are responsible for the upkeep of your organs. They
can send out signals to heal and regenerate.
- As we get older, our stem cells become less functional.
Sometimes, we can lose stem cells in parts of our bodies.
- We have the ability to activate the stem cells that we have
through exercising, fasting, and stem cell treatment.
- There are signs if you do not have enough stem cells in your
body: knee pain, your skin is losing texture, and other things that
we associate with aging.
[05:55] Using Fasting to Activate Stem
Cells
- You can activate stem cell production in your body by
fasting.
- Without food, your body will go through stress, and your cells
will start to repair.
- People use fasting to keep their stem cell stores high, so they
are more readily able to repair themselves when they need to.
- The body will clean or get rid of zombie cells. Then, it
produces a signal to create new stem cells.
- Stem cells can multiply and replicate themselves.
- If you can do multiple day fasts, that would be ideal. Time
restrictive feeding is better than doing nothing. Start slow, then
work yourself up to several days at a time.
[09:00] How to Trigger Cell Production
- Exercise will trigger cell production.
- Red light therapy or light therapy will increase stem cell
production.
- Stress-relieving things will also increase production like Tai
Chi.
- Killen wouldn’t be surprised if there were a correlation
between meditation and stem cell production.
- The procedures that Dr. Killen does are not system-wide. She
does not treat diseases; she only treats certain areas like joints.
If you can put stem cells into your joint, then it will repair that
one area. That’s the same with skin, hair, and sexual organs. She
takes stem cells from the patient and moves them to a different
part of the body.
- Your love handles have a good supply of stem cells. Plus, they
heal faster and have less pain for the patient.
[12:20] The Role of Insulin on Aging
- High insulin is associated with high cortisol levels.
- When you have high insulin, your blood sugar is also high. High
sugar levels will result in aging. Every part of your body is
sensitive to sugar. It will age you faster and cause more
inflammation.
- When the insulin is activated, all your fat-burning hormones
are scattered.
- It could be years before insulin issues are shown in blood
results.
- It’s essential to be proactive rather than reactive.
[14:40] Anti-Aging Tips
- Increase nitric oxide. It’s the primary way to get blood
delivered throughout your body. After age 40, we don’t make as much
nitric oxide. It affects sexual performance and gym performance.
Things you can do to increase nitric oxide:
- Exercise
- Eat nitrate-rich foods
- Don’t use an antiseptic mouthwash
- Avoid using acid-blocking medications
- Red light therapy
- Coconut oil is antibacterial. Dr. Killen says it’s not as
problematic as daily antiseptic mouthwash. You can make your own
mouthwash. Don’t use it every day. You need the bacteria in your
mouth.
- Use the sun wisely.
- Protect your face and hands.
- People who don’t get any sun exposure is a risk factor for
death and aging.
- Getting sun is really important; don’t get burned.
- Don’t eat sugar.
- Make sure you are pairing the sugar with fat and protein if you
do eat it.
- Your body thinks a big bowl of rice is sugar. If you are going
to eat rice, pair it with loads of fat and protein.
[22:15] Fixing Dark Circles Under Your Eyes
- Avoid allergens.
- PRP injections can also make a big difference. It will help
thicken the skin.
- Different kinds of lasers can be helpful around the eyes.
- It’s one of the more difficult things to treat.
[24:50] Sexual Health Therapies
- Killen does a P shot for men and an O shot for women. It will
help increase blood flow and repair nerves. Plus, it will increase
sensitivity and sensation.
[28:20] What is Perfect Health?
- You’re not thinking about pain or performing. It means you are
not worrying about if your body can do something. You should be
able to do what you want to do and be with who you want to be
with.
