Produced by Health Optimization Medicine & Practice (HOMeHOPe) and Smarter Not Harder, Inc., the makers of Troscriptions, this podcast bridges rigorous science with real-world clinical application. Each episode features in-depth conversations with leading researchers, clinicians, and original thinkers, including Karl Friston, Donald Hoffman, Anna Lembke, Adam Robinson, and Dominic D'Agostino. Together, they explore how small, precise interventions can create meaningful and lasting impact. Hosted by: + Dr. Ted Achacoso, founding pioneer of HOMeHOPe and Smarter Not Harder, Inc. + Dr. Scott Sherr, COO of HOMeHOPe and Smarter Not Harder, Inc. + Boomer Anderson, CEO of HOMeHOPe and Smarter Not Harder, Inc. + Jodi Duval, principal naturopath, formulator at Revital Health in Perth, Australia, and CEO of HOMeHOPe Australia New episodes every Wednesday.

Moving past the mainstream marketing of plasmapheresis as a longevity cure-all, the team breaks down why mechanical filtering is only a surface-level fix for microplastic toxicity. From the autonomic anxiety caused by biological lockdown to the clinical application of precision metabolomics, this roundtable shifts the conversation from invasive procedures to measurable, cellular safety signals. Join us as we delve into: The Protein Corona: How circulating microplastics masquerade as pathogens, triggering localized purinergic signaling and the release of extracellular ATP. The Cell Danger Response (CDR1): Why the body halts oxidative phosphorylation and locks down the cell membrane when invaded, and why blood washing can't touch toxins stuck inside tissue matrices. The Problem with Plasmapheresis: The clinical realities and physiological costs of invasive vascular filtering, including the removal of essential immunoglobulins and clotting factors. The True Detox Protocol: Utilizing organic carbon binders (humic and fulvic acids), phase two liver conjugation (glucuronidation/sulfation), and barrier integrity support to properly excrete microplastics. Pulsed Antioxidant Support: When and why to use targeted NAD, alpha-lipoic acid, NAC, and ubiquinol to transition cells out of a defensive lockdown. This episode is for you if: You are considering expensive therapies like plasmapheresis to clear environmental toxins. You want to learn how to test your cellular metabolomics for organic acids and brain inflammation. You want to understand how yo…","meta_description":"In this episode of the Health Optimization Medicine Podcast, our faculty, Dr. Scott Sherr, Dr. Ted Achacoso, Boomer Anderson, Dr. Allen Bookatz, and Jodi…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":1286,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/health-optimization-medicine-podcast-5954129/episodes/cellular-safety-and-the-dangers-of-mechanical-blood-microplastic-detox-home-podcast-017/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/health-optimization-medicine-podcast-5954129/cellular-safety-and-the-dangers-of-mechanical-blood-microplastic-detox-home-podcast-017.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
