203: Neurosurgeon’s Opinions | Peptides, Minimally Invasive Surgery and Holistic Treatment with Dr. Amir Vokshoor

Hello friends! I have a brand new episode live and today I was joined by a surgeon who is AMAZING about brain health, spine health, and whole body healing. Dr. Amir Vokshoor is a board-certified MD and Chief of Surgery at Providence Saint John’s Health Center in Santa Monica, and specializes in minimally invasive spine surgery with a truly integrative, whole-body approach to brain and spine health. If you’ve dealt with back pain, are thinking about living longer, or just want to keep everything moving as you age, I think you’ll love this one.
Here’s what we’re talking about:
- Why is the tag line of Dr. Vokshoor says “there is no life without the health of the brain” — and what that means for your everyday life
- The three main areas of spinal mobility he recommends everyone work on (cervical, thoracic, lumbar – and hips and ankles!)
- Her simple daily movement routine for spine health takes just a few minutes and requires no equipment
- What minimally invasive spine surgery looks like
- How AI is changing his behavior right now – including actually enabling him touching his patients and during the visit
- The promise and reliable estimation of peptides
- Why chronic pain turns into brain disease – and what it means for treatment
Many more!!

If any of my health professional friends are looking for another way to help their clients, I highly recommend IHP. You can also use this knowledge to heal yourself and then go on to heal others, which I think is a good job. You can absolutely join if you are not currently working in the health or fitness industry; most IHPs do not start this way. They are friends who love to learn more about health and wellness, and want to share this knowledge with those they love. You can do this as you like, or start a new career entirely.
