Healing from the Inside Out: Advanced Regenerative Therapies That Restore Your Cellular Health

By Cristyn Watkins, MD

At aNu Aesthetics and Optimal Wellness our mission is to help patients heal deeply — not just by managing symptoms, but by restoring the body’s natural capacity for repair, balance, and vitality. Through advanced regenerative and functional medicine, we target the root causes of illness and dysfunction at the cellular level, where true healing begins.

Three of the most powerful and transformative therapies we use in our clinic are:

  • Supportive Oligonucleotide Therapy (SOT)

  • Mesenchymal Stem Cell (and Exosome) Optimization Therapy

  • Ozone Hemotherapy (Ozone Hemo IV)

Each of these treatments works in a unique way to help the body detoxify, repair, and regenerate — and when used together, they can create profound shifts in energy, resilience, and overall health.

Supportive Oligonucleotide Therapy (SOT)

A precision molecular approach to chronic infections and immune health

Supportive Oligonucleotide Therapy, or SOT, is an innovative therapy that uses custom-designed genetic sequences to target and silence harmful pathogens such as viruses, bacteria, and cancer cells.

Through advanced laboratory testing, we identify the precise genetic code of the target organism — whether it’s Lyme disease, Epstein-Barr virus, or another chronic infection. Then, a synthetic oligonucleotide (a short strand of DNA or RNA) is created specifically for that target. Once infused intravenously, it binds to messenger RNA (mRNA) and blocks replication, rendering the pathogen inactive.

How It Helps

By preventing the pathogen from reproducing, SOT gives your immune system the opportunity to clear infections more effectively. Over time, this can lead to a reduction in inflammation, decreased symptom flares, improved mental clarity, and greater overall vitality.

Benefits

  • Precisely targets infections at the genetic level

  • Supports immune regulation and balance

  • Reduces chronic inflammation

  • May improve energy, sleep, and cognitive function

  • Personalized to your unique lab results and condition

What to Expect

SOT is administered via IV infusion in a comfortable clinical setting. Some patients may experience temporary detox or flu-like symptoms as their body clears debris from targeted pathogens. Within weeks, many begin to feel more stable, energetic, and mentally clear.

At our practice, we’ve seen this therapy bring profound results for patients with long-standing infections or autoimmune-like symptoms that were previously resistant to treatment.

Stem Cell Optimization Therapy (SOT)

Reactivating your body’s natural repair and regeneration systems

Your body is equipped with a powerful self-healing network — stem cells that repair and regenerate tissue. Over time, due to aging, inflammation, toxins, or chronic illness, these cells can become less responsive.

Stem Cell Optimization Therapy focuses on awakening and enhancing your body’s own regenerative potential without external cell injections. Through the use of peptides, growth factors, mitochondrial support nutrients, and targeted IV infusions, we stimulate stem cells to repair, rejuvenate, and restore optimal cellular communication.

How It Works

This therapy works by:

  • Improving mitochondrial energy production

  • Enhancing cell signaling and tissue repair

  • Reducing systemic inflammation

  • Strengthening overall metabolic and immune function

The result? Better recovery, improved skin and joint health, more consistent energy, and an overall feeling of youthfulness and vitality.

Benefits

  • Stimulates your body’s innate repair mechanisms

  • Enhances healing after injury or illness

  • Supports longevity and anti-aging pathways

  • Reduces inflammation and oxidative stress

  • Complements peptide and ozone therapies

Patient Experience

Most patients notice gradual improvements over several weeks. Energy levels increase, recovery times shorten, and mobility improves. This therapy can be combined with Ozone Hemo IV for an even greater regenerative boost.

Ozone Hemotherapy (Ozone Hemo IV)

Oxygenation, detoxification, and immune balance from the inside out

Ozone Hemotherapy, also known as Ozone Hemo IV or Major Autohemotherapy (MAH), is a powerful and natural therapy that enhances oxygen utilization and detoxification. During this process, a small amount of your blood is drawn, gently infused with medical-grade ozone, and then returned to your bloodstream.

The result is oxygen-rich blood that improves cellular energy, immune modulation, and detoxification. Ozone increases mitochondrial function — the “powerhouse” of the cell — helping you feel more energized and focused while reducing oxidative stress and inflammation.

Benefits

  • Increases oxygen delivery to tissues

  • Boosts mitochondrial energy production

  • Enhances immune system balance

  • Reduces inflammation and supports detox pathways

  • Promotes faster recovery and mental clarity

The Experience

Each Ozone Hemo IV session typically lasts 30–60 minutes and is performed in-office. Patients often report feeling refreshed, focused, and revitalized afterward. This therapy is gentle, effective, and pairs beautifully with SOT or stem cell optimization as part of a comprehensive regenerative program.

The Synergy of Regeneration

While each of these treatments can be used independently, the real magic happens when they’re combined in a strategic, personalized protocol.

  • SOT removes infectious and genetic stressors that disrupt cellular communication.

  • Stem Cell Optimization Therapy reignites natural repair mechanisms and regeneration.

  • Ozone Hemo IV oxygenates, detoxifies, and energizes every cell in the body.

Together, these therapies support your body in moving from chronic dysfunction to deep, lasting wellness.

A Personalized Path to Healing

Every patient’s journey is unique. At Cristyn Watkins, MD, we take time to understand your full story — your symptoms, history, lab data, and lifestyle — to create a treatment plan that supports your biology and your goals.

Our approach combines science, precision, and compassion. Whether you’re managing chronic fatigue, autoimmune challenges, inflammation, or simply seeking longevity and vitality, these therapies can help you restore balance and feel your best again.

Healing isn’t about suppressing symptoms — it’s about rebuilding health from the inside out.

⚖️ Integrative Support Across All Therapies

A personalized approach might look like this:

  • Morning: Mitochondrial activators (NAD⁺, CoQ10, PQQ, B-complex)

  • Midday: Detox support (binders, glutathione, hydration)

  • Evening: Anti-inflammatory & adaptogens (curcumin, resveratrol, ashwagandha)

Paired with these for OPTIMAL longevity and vitality!

  • IV nutrient therapy when tolerated

  • Peptides for cellular signaling

  • Personalized nutrition and hormone balancing

Is One of These Therapies Right for You?

If you’re struggling with chronic illness, lingering infections, or low energy — or if you want to optimize longevity and performance — these therapies may be an ideal fit. After a detailed consultation and lab evaluation, we’ll design a customized plan to help your body function at its highest potential.

Your health starts at the cellular level. Let’s help your cells remember how to heal.
