Uncover Your Eyes with Dr. Meenal Episode #94: Are Aging, Pain, and Inflammation Inevitable? Biologics, PRP & the Future of Healing with Dr. Chris Renna
Are aging, chronic pain, and inflammation truly inevitable or have we been approaching them the wrong way?
What if the future of medicine isn’t about stronger medications, repeated steroid injections, or masking symptoms, but about removing inflammation, restoring biological signaling, and helping the body relearn how to heal?
In this powerful episode of the Uncover Your Eyes podcast, Dr. Meenal Agarwal sits down with Dr. Chris Renna, founder of LifeSpan Medicine, and one of the world’s leading voices in longevity and regenerative medicine.
Over the last decade, elite athletes from Kobe Bryant and Tiger Woods to professional soccer and NFL players have quietly sought out treatments most people have never heard of, including Regenokine, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and advanced biologic therapies. Many traveled overseas after being told their pain, inflammation, or decline was simply “part of aging.”
In this conversation, we ask a different question: What if it doesn’t have to be?
This episode blends healthcare education, physical health, mental health, self-advocacy, and wellness, offering a deeper understanding of the biology driving pain, inflammation, and aging, and why listening to symptoms matters.
Whether you’re a healthcare provider, wellness or nutrition professional, patient, parent, or someone curious about the future of medicine, this episode will help you see your health and your body more clearly.
Here’s a small sample of what you will hear in this episode:
- The real pros and cons of steroids in pain management and why they may impair long-term healing
- How biologic therapies like PRP and Regenokine actually work inside the body
- Why inflammation is often a signal problem, not just a wear-and-tear issue
- Powerful patient recovery stories that challenge conventional timelines of aging
- Why elite athletes seek regenerative approaches long before the general public
- How AI and precision medicine may transform the future of pain and longevity care
