In this episode of Longevity Unlocked, Coach Kyle and Dr. K break down Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) and Procaine IV therapy, two advanced interventions designed to reset an overactive nervous system and calm chronic fight-or-flight. They explain exactly what SGB is, how it works neurologically, and why precision, imaging guidance, and clinical experience are critical for safety and effectiveness.

The conversation explores how anxiety, PTSD, POTS, and autonomic dysfunction are often driven by misfiring nerve signals and dysfunctional sympathetic activation. Dr. K explains how SGB temporarily numbs the stellate ganglion to reset nerve “gating,” while Procaine IV works directly on emotional centers of the brain like the amygdala and hippocampus. Together, these therapies approach anxiety and trauma from two different physiological angles.

Kyle and Dr. K also cover what the procedures feel like, who is and isn’t a good candidate, real-world patient outcomes, risks, pricing transparency, and why these treatments are reserved for significant, life-impacting symptoms — not mild stress. The episode closes with a CBD IV giveaway and practical guidance for listeners exploring nervous system–based therapies.

SGB (Stellate Ganglion Block) resets an overactive sympathetic nervous system. Anxiety can be caused by misfiring nerve “gates” and feedback loops to the brain. SGB works by temporarily numbing the stellate ganglion to allow nerves to refire correctly. Imaging guidance (ultrasound or C-arm) is essential for safe SGB placement. Palpation-guided SGB injections carry unnecessary risk and should be avoided. Short-term effects include calmness, droopy eye, sinus pressure, and altered perception. Long-term benefits often build with repeated treatments over time. SGB is commonly used for anxiety, PTSD, POTS, and chronic fight-or-flight. Procaine IV targets emotional centers of the brain rather than peripheral nerves. Procaine can cause emotional release, relaxation, and mental calm. Stacking SGB with Procaine addresses anxiety from two different pathways. SGB is not intended for mild or situational anxiety. Experience and precision matter more than cost when choosing a provider. Veterans and first responders may qualify for significant discounts.

Episode Summary In this episode of Longevity Unlocked, Coach Kyle and Dr. K break down CBD IV therapy, one of the newest and least-understood IV treatments entering the integrative medicine space. They discuss why IV CBD is fundamentally different from oral CBD, how its ultra-small molecular size allows it to penetrate nearly every tissue in the body, and why that power comes with both potential benefits and risks.

The conversation explores how CBD IV interacts with the endocannabinoid system, modulates inflammation and immune response, and may help expose chronic infections, Lyme disease, mold, and other hard-to-reach issues. Kyle and Dr. K also cover real-world patient tolerance, detox reactions, cost barriers, dosing limitations, and why this therapy is still very much in an early, experimental phase. The episode closes with a forward-looking discussion on where IV CBD could go as research, pricing, and protocols evolve.

Key Takeaways CBD IV is fundamentally different from oral CBD due to its delivery and molecule size. Ultra-small molecules allow CBD IV to cross the blood-brain barrier rapidly. CBD interacts with the endocannabinoid system to modulate inflammation and immunity. Systemic penetration can trigger strong detox or die-off reactions. CBD IV may expose latent infections like Lyme, parasites, or mold. Most patients tolerate only low introductory doses. High-dose protocols are extremely expensive and not widely accessible. CBD IV does not kill pathogens directly; it exposes them to the immune system. Short-term relaxation effects are common during the infusion. Long-term clinical applications are still largely theoretical. This therapy is early-stage and best used cautiously within structured protocols.

In this episode of Longevity Unlocked, Coach Kyle and Dr. K break down the simplest, most practical way to eat for weight loss—without medications, peptides, GLP-1s, or extreme dieting. This episode focuses purely on food fundamentals and behavior change to create sustainable fat loss.

They introduce the Longevity Food Pyramid as the foundation, explain why tracking food can be a powerful tool for most people, and outline how to reduce calories intelligently by prioritizing protein while dialing back fats and carbohydrates. Kyle and Dr. K also discuss intermittent fasting, reverse dieting, hydration, and common mistakes that prevent weight loss progress.

This episode serves as a baseline roadmap for anyone who wants to lose weight without overcomplicating the process or sacrificing their sanity.

Weight loss starts with food quality and calorie awareness. The Longevity Food Pyramid prioritizes vegetables, protein, fats, then carbs. Tracking food increases awareness and often improves habits automatically. Protein should be the primary focus for fat loss and satiety. Vegetables can be treated as “free calories” to increase fullness. Reducing fats and carbs is the easiest way to lower calories. Carbohydrates provide low satiety compared to protein and fiber. Most people eat more fat than needed for hormone health. Dessert must be limited or eliminated during active fat loss phases. Intermittent fasting can work well for men when aligned with lifestyle. Women generally do better with consistent meals and shorter fasting windows. Reverse dieting can repair metabolism after chronic under-eating. Strength training is essential to preserve metabolism during weight loss. Hydration significantly reduces hunger and supports fat loss.
