GARM Reveal Ch. 2- New Therapies
GARM Reveal Chapter 2: Exciting New Therapies at GARM
At the GARM Clinic, our mission is to remain at the forefront of safe, effective, and innovative therapies that support whole-body rejuvenation. In line with this commitment, we’re proud to introduce two major breakthroughs now available to patients:
- The Brain Clock Reset Protocol
- VEGF Plasmid Gene Therapy
Let’s explore the science behind these treatments and how they can support your longevity and performance goals.
1. The Brain RESET Protocol
The Brain Clock Reset Protocol is designed to help “reset” and rejuvenate neurological function by enhancing cellular communication and regeneration. Its core goals include:
- Improving sleep quality
- Enhancing cognition and memory
- Optimizing brain function
- Reducing anxiety and stress
- Decreasing toxin load in the brain
- Improving exercise recovery
How It Works
Using low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU), we gently target areas like the hypothalamus and hippocampus — critical centers for memory, hormone regulation, and circadian rhythm. This stimulation helps those areas absorb exosomes, which may reduce inflammation and encourage neural repair (Jordan et al., 2023).
Mood-Boosting Potential
LIFU may also offer benefits for mood disorders. A 2023 study published in the Journal of Psychiatric Research found that LIFU targeted to specific brain regions resulted in improved symptoms of anxiety and depression in a group of patients, without pharmaceuticals (Jordan et al., 2023). While further research is needed, these results are promising for patients seeking safe and natural interventions.
Addressing Cognitive Decline
Neurodegenerative diseases like Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and vascular dementia are growing concerns. One often overlooked culprit in brain inflammation and decline is Galectin-3 (Gal-3) — a sugar-binding protein that, when overexpressed with age, contributes to chronic inflammation and reduced brain function (Li et al., 2018).
Elevated Gal-3 levels have been linked to neuroinflammation in Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and other degenerative diseases. Inhibiting or neutralizing Gal-3 may help slow or reverse this damage, and several FDA-regulated clinical trials are underway exploring Gal-3 targeting compounds as a potential solution (Li et al., 2018).
2. VEGF Plasmid Gene Therapy
Another exciting innovation now available at GARM is VEGF plasmid gene therapy, a powerful intervention with benefits across aesthetics, performance, and vascular health.
What Is VEGF?
Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) is a naturally occurring signaling protein that promotes angiogenesis — the formation of new blood vessels. VEGF plays a vital role in restoring oxygen flow to tissues, supporting healing, growth, and rejuvenation (Cao, 2004).
VEGF for Hair Growth
VEGF promotes blood flow to hair follicles, fueling their growth and repair. Studies have shown that VEGF enhances keratinocyte proliferation — the cells that form the base of each hair strand — resulting in improved density and thickness (Yano et al., 2001). Targeted VEGF plasmid injections may offer a promising solution for patients experiencing hair loss or thinning.
VEGF for Muscle Recovery
In the realm of performance and recovery, VEGF’s ability to enhance blood flow is crucial. Increased angiogenesis in muscle tissue delivers more oxygen, glucose, and nutrients, supporting post-exercise repair and regeneration. This is particularly important for athletes and aging individuals looking to maintain muscle integrity and performance (Kang et al., 2022).
A Proven Vascular Application
In Russia, VEGF plasmid therapy has been used safely and effectively for over a decade in patients suffering from lower limb ischemia — a condition involving poor blood flow to the legs. This application has yielded improved circulation and reduced ischemic symptoms (Deev et al., 2015).
Looking Ahead
Whether your goals are rejuvenation, performance, or prevention, these innovative therapies represent GARM’s commitment to pushing medicine forward in a safe, science-backed, and highly personalized way.
