203: A Neurosurgeon’s Insight | Discussing peptides, minimally invasive surgery, and holistic treatments with Dr. Amir Vokshoor
Hi friends! I have a brand new live broadcast and today I’m joined by a neurosurgeon who has some amazing insights into brain health, spine health, and whole body treatments. Dr. Amir Vokshoor, board-certified MD and chief of surgery at Providence St. John’s Health Center in Santa Monica, specializes in minimally invasive spine surgery, taking a truly comprehensive, whole-body approach to brain and spine health. If you’ve ever dealt with back pain, are thinking about longevity, or just want to keep things running smoothly as you age, I think you’ll love this.
This is what we chatted about:
- Why Dr. Vauxhall’s slogan is “No health without brain health” – and what this actually means for your daily life
- He recommends that everyone exercise the three key areas of spinal flexibility (cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine—plus hips and ankles!)
- His simple daily exercises for spinal health take just minutes and require no equipment
- What minimally invasive spine surgery actually looks like
- How artificial intelligence is now changing his practice — including letting him actually touch Visit his patient again during the visit
- The promise of peptides and the limitations of honesty
- Why chronic pain is a brain disease—and what it means for treatment
There’s more!
