From Critical Care To Root-Cause Medicine
- Dr. Khanh Nguyen shifted from symptom care to root-cause medicine after personal illness and burnout in critical care.
- She uses functional, regenerative, and cellular medicine to restore homeostasis and cellular adaptability.
Build The Foundation First
- Prioritize lifestyle as the foundation: sleep, nutrition, exercise, stress management, and connection.
- Layer advanced therapies only after optimizing those basics for better and longer-lasting results.

- Plasma carries hormones, proteins, and exosomes that change with age and disease, so removing 'old' plasma reduces toxic load.
