In this episode of the Vibrant Wellness Podcast, Dr. Emmie Brown speaks with Drs. Carl Paige and Terri Paige, founders of the Medical Transformation Center, about their pioneering approach to cellular medicine and whole-person care. Together, they share how optimizing cell function—rather than simply managing symptoms—can transform health outcomes.
Dr. Paige explains that cellular medicine focuses on supporting each cell’s metabolic, inflammatory, and immune function—often before dysfunction appears on standard labs. When cells underperform, it can lead to fatigue, poor recovery, cognitive decline, and increased risk of chronic disease. Contributing factors include toxin buildup, unresolved infections, and nutrient deficiencies, making micronutrients like magnesium, zinc, and vitamins D, C, and B complex essential for energy production, hormone balance, and tissue repair.
To uncover hidden stressors, the Paiges use a comprehensive testing framework that may include inflammation and hormone panels, genomic risk profiles, micronutrient testing, and screening for mold, mycotoxins, heavy metals, and other environmental chemicals. A “clear” toxin panel can sometimes point to poor detox capacity, prompting further evaluation of gut health, hydration, and sweat function. Their phased, high-touch approach blends advanced therapies—such as peptides, IV nutrient support, regenerative biologics, and transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS)—with ongoing education and follow-up, helping patients restore energy, resilience, and cellular health without overwhelm.
🎙 Key Topics Covered
🧬 What cellular medicine is and how optimizing individual cells drives overall health
🧪 The diagnostic approach: proteomic markers, metabolic and hormone panels, genomic risk, micronutrients, and toxin testing
⚠️ Why a toxin panel with no findings can signal poor detox capacity
🥗 How foundational habits—nutrition, sleep, exercise, and low-tox living—support advanced therapies
💉 Targeted interventions: peptides, IV nutrients, regenerative biologics, and mitochondrial support
🧠 The role of transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) in cognitive recovery, PTSD, Alzheimer’s, and post-COVID brain fog
🦠 Multi-layered strategies for post-infectious illness and immune dysregulation
📈 Patient engagement through classes, cooking demos, nurse debriefs, and structured follow-ups
