Democratizing Wellness with Dr. Rich Joseph

This week, we chat with Dr. Rich Joseph, the Chief Medical
Officer at Restore Hyper Wellness, founder of vim Medicine, and
co-founder of Vital CxNs. David made ample use of the Restore
facilities during his recovery from knee surgery, and we like how
their business helps to make treatments like hyperbaric oxygen
therapy, red light therapy, IV drips, and others accessible to
the public. During our conversation, Rich shares his view on the
literature supporting up-and-coming therapy treatments, the
importance of challenging oneself at any age, biomarkers, and his
nonprofit work with underserved populations in Boston.

“My whole background is walking this fine line between
the traditional medical system and the wellness industry. I was a
personal trainer for a long time and that was my first foray into
health and wellness before becoming a doctor. Now I help bridge
the gap between these two sides. I think we have to be humble,
the more I learn, the less I know about this stuff. Human health
and our biology is very complicated, and yet there’s
unfortunately still this imperative to like, make claims and to
be bold in order to get people's attention.”





“This stuff is nuanced and we hope that people who really take
their health seriously also have the responsibility of helping to
advance the data and dig into the science.”





“How do you push the body into stress right in a way that's
adaptive for the body? And that's what cold therapy does, it's
what heat therapy does. This is sort of “perturbing” our
homeostasis so that the body becomes more adaptive over time, and
is able to better regulate itself.”





“Entropy is working on us all the time and so you have to push
back against that and that's uncomfortable. That means welcoming
and inviting discomfort into your life and to your day and that,
to your point, is sort of against everything that we're sold
right now and what we're taught to believe is
best.”
