Wellness at the Speed of Light

In my latest podcast with Dr. Stephen McNeill, we explored why certain low-cost, effective treatments—like niacin—don’t receive the attention they deserve in mainstream medicine. Dr. McNeill pointed out that it’s often a mix of ignorance and greed within the system. He explained how skepticism and attempts to discredit treatments sometimes come from a place of grief over missed opportunities for patients, but also from profit motives that overshadow patient wellness. Niacin, for instance, remains one of the only single treatments that can significantly reduce all atherogenic lipoproteins, including lp(a), yet it’s often overlooked. #Healthcare #wellness #Greed #DrSinicropi #People Wellness at the Speed of Light

Life moves fast, and sometimes we just need to hit pause. Taking a moment for yourself—putting the phone down, breathing, and letting yourself recharge—is a simple but powerful act of self-care. These little pauses can make a big difference in how we feel and handle life. Let’s make time to look after ourselves, even if it’s just a few minutes each day. #SelfCare #Mindfulness #TakeAMoment #DrSinicropi

We’re constantly moving, juggling tasks, and staying connected, but often at the cost of our own well-being. Self-care and mindfulness aren’t just nice-to-haves; they’re essentials. Taking even a few minutes for practices like meditation or breathwork can make a big difference, breaking that relentless cycle of stress and helping us step back, reset, and truly take care of ourselves. As we look toward the future of medicine, holistic approaches, like hormonal management and mindfulness, are set to play a crucial role in supporting our health. Sometimes, the best thing we can do is pause, put the phone down, and just breathe. #HormonalHealth #Mindfulness #HormonalManagement #Wellbeing #Holistic #Wellness #DrSinicropi

Today is a special day as we celebrate the grand opening of Hypercharge Health, a project that has been a major focus of mine. I’m excited to share the innovative services we’re bringing to the community—from advanced regenerative treatments and holistic medical weight loss to a truly patient-centered approach. On a personal note, I’m also proud of my son, Donovan, who recently achieved the title of "Mister Soccer Minnesota." Donovan has experienced firsthand some of the treatments we offer, like light therapy, which has helped him recover faster and stay at the top of his game. Thank you for being part of this journey with us! #hyperchargehealt #DrSinicropi #family #wellness #wellbeing

Hey everyone, just wrapped up an insightful conversation on the Alzheimer’s Speaks podcast with Lori La Bey We dove deep into alternative treatments for Alzheimer’s, going beyond traditional approaches and exploring innovative therapies we’re offering at our wellness centers. My journey in this field started in neuropathology, researching Alzheimer’s plaques, and today, I’m thrilled to bring that background full circle, helping patients with advanced, safe options like light therapy, oxygen therapy, and PEMF. It’s time to think holistically about cognitive health! #DrSinicropi #Alzheimer #People #Community #Wellbeing #lighttherapy #PEMF

Work life balance is important and burnout is very real BUT … When we dedicate ourselves to becoming physicians we are following a higher calling and those entering the profession should understand that we are dedicating our lives to that calling Many of the great advances in Medicine came from those who sacrificed personal time for the greater societal good. It’s a complicated topic and dramatic changes in the physician mindset have occurred because of the corporate takeover of our industry, and this has had negative impacts with a significant loss of physician autonomy Baby Boomers and my Gen X group have witnessed that radical mindset shift in medicine over our careers and tend to see things much differently than the Millennials or Gen Z …. However I would like to see our profession continue to be a lifelong calling dedicated to a higher cause which is what attracted me so strongly to want to become a physician 👇🏽Please leave your thoughts below and I will do a follow up video post discussing your comments #physician #surgeon #calling #balance #change #DrSinicropi

A couple years ago I made the decision to become involved and do my part in helping to change the paradigm of our current healthcare model. Together with an amazing group of dedicated individuals we launched three successful HyperCharge wellness centers and planned on the opening of a full service integrative medical model. Tomorrow marks the official opening of Hypercharge Health where we welcome you into a space dedicated to redefining medical care. Whether you're looking to explore innovative health services, connect with our team, or simply see what we're all about, we can't wait to share this journey with you. Here’s to a new chapter in health – see you there! Dr.Sinicropi and team #Wellness #HyperCharge #Wellbeing #Women #Men

In this episode of Wellness at the Speed of Light , we welcome Stephen D. McConnell, BS, MSc-CCP, CIS—a seasoned expert who transitioned from performing life-support and anesthesia during open-heart procedures to a focus on preventive care. Over the past two decades, Stephen has established lipid clinics and developed cost-effective protocols for managing chronic kidney disease (CKD) and cardiovascular health. He discusses the shortcomings in current CKD diagnosis and treatment, emphasizing the limitations of relying solely on LDL levels. Stephen advocates for alternative approaches, such as Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) assessment and niacin therapy, which have demonstrated significant reductions in myocardial infarction and stroke rates. Stephen also raises important concerns about the limitations of traditional diagnostic tools like LDL in fully assessing CKD risk. He highlights how LDL measurements often plateau and fail to capture the true risk associated with smaller, more harmful particles—a gap that can be bridged with Apolipoprotein B (ApoB) assessment, which offers a clearer picture of cardiovascular risk. Additionally, Stephen questions the reliance on statin therapies, pointing out that while they are often doubled in dosage, they yield minimal reduction in absolute risk and even trigger increased PCSK9 levels, necessitating further treatment with injectables. By contrast, niacin, which was one of the first successful treatments, shows a 47% reduction in myocardial infarctions and a 24% reduction in stroke, making it a powerful yet often overlooked tool in cardiovascular care. Join us on Wellness at the Speed of Light as we explore these innovative strategies for improving CKD and cardiovascular care. #CKD #KidneyDisease #Mitochondria #DrSinicropi ##Wellness #People #Community

Meet Bruno Barcellos, a 12-year-old with an unbreakable spirit.

He proves that limitations exist only in our minds, and with the right attitude, we can break through any barrier. So, what’s stopping you? What is your excuse? #Whatinspiresme #wellness #mindset #people #networking #community

Mitochondria, often called the powerhouses of the cell, are surprisingly sensitive to a lot of things we face daily. Stress, inflammation, and poor diet can all wear down our mitochondria and make it harder for them to do their job. Even environmental toxins and overexertion add to their workload. Imagine these tiny structures getting hit with too much calcium—it’s almost like breaching their defenses. When mitochondria experience shear—meaning stress that weakens their outer wall—it allows calcium to rush in, overwhelming these tiny powerhouses. Picture a scratch in the cell wall with calcium flooding in from outside, damaging the mitochondria. And when this happens across trillions of mitochondria, especially in neurons, it disrupts cellular function and impacts our brain health. In this clip, I break down how mitochondrial shear and calcium influx lead to dysfunction and why protecting our mitochondria is so essential. These microscopic processes may seem small, but they’re deeply connected to our energy, brain function, and overall wellness. Protecting our cells isn’t just science—it’s giving ourselves the best chance to feel and function well. #WellnessAtTheSpeedOfLight #MitochondrialHealth #RechargingTheHumanBattery ##DrSinicropi #MitochondrialDysfunction
