There’s More to Health Than Just Prescriptions. The Science Proves It
Have you ever walked out of a doctor’s office feeling like they missed something? Maybe your labs came back “normal,” but you still feel exhausted, inflamed, foggy, or just… off. Or maybe your concerns were waved away with a prescription — no real explanation, no deeper look. At Apollo Health, we believe you deserve better. And the latest research proves it.
The Overlooked Factor: Oxidative Stress
One of the most powerful — and least addressed — drivers of chronic disease is oxidative stress. This isn’t a wellness buzzword. It’s a measurable, biological reality. Oxidative stress happens when your body produces more reactive oxygen species (ROS) than it can neutralize with antioxidants. At low levels, ROS help fight infection and support normal cellular function. But when they build up? They start damaging your DNA, proteins, and tissues.
Left unchecked, oxidative stress leads to:
• Cellular aging
• Chronic inflammation
• Mitochondrial dysfunction
• Brain fog and fatigue
• Hormonal and immune system disruption
What the Research Tells Us
A 2023 article in Archives of Toxicology titled “Reactive Oxygen Species, Oxidative Stress & Antioxidants: Chronic Diseases and Aging” lays out how oxidative stress is a core driver of nearly every major chronic disease, including:
• Alzheimer’s & Parkinson’s (neurodegeneration)
• Heart disease (arterial damage & inflammation)
• Diabetes (insulin resistance & metabolic damage)
• Cancer (DNA mutation & cellular instability)
• Autoimmune conditions (immune dysregulation)
If your provider isn’t testing or supporting your antioxidant systems, they’re not seeing the full picture.
But Your Body Was Built to Fight Back
Your body isn’t defenseless. It produces antioxidants to neutralize oxidative stress — including:
• Glutathione (your master antioxidant)
• Superoxide dismutase (SOD)
• Catalase
• Melatonin (yes, it’s more than a sleep hormone!)
And it gets even stronger when you support it with:
• Vitamin C & E
• Flavonoids & polyphenols from plants
• Sulforaphane (from broccoli sprouts)
• Ergothioneine (found in mushrooms)
These aren’t fringe or dangerous — they’re fundamental. And often, they’re what’s missing in conventional care.
Supplements Aren’t the Problem. Ignorance Is.
We hear it often:
“Supplements aren’t FDA-approved, so they’re unsafe.”
Here’s the truth:
The FDA doesn’t regulate spinach, sunshine, or sleep — but you’d never call those dangerous.
The right supplements — when they’re tested, high-quality, and guided by data — are safe, essential tools to help your body function better.
At Apollo Health, we don’t guess. We test.
We match your labs, symptoms, and history with personalized recommendations to support the systems that keep you healthy.
This Is the Power of the 3B Model
We build care plans using the 3B framework — because real health is rooted in:
Brain
We assess and support your nervous system, balance, cognition, and neuroplasticity.
Body
We optimize movement, joint function, structure, recovery, and physical resilience.
Biochemistry
We test your antioxidant levels, detox pathways, inflammation, hormones, gut health, and mitochondrial function.
You can’t separate one from the others. That’s why you’ve been stuck. And that’s why our patients move forward.
What Should You Ask Next?
Start with better questions:
• Have I ever had oxidative stress markers tested?
• Am I supporting my antioxidant systems?
• Could my fatigue, inflammation, or brain fog be connected to this?
• Is my care plan focused on medication — or on adaptation and resilience?
Ready for a Different Approach?
We don’t medicate dysfunction. We help your body recover from it — by strengthening your brain, body, and biochemistry.
This is science. This is strategy. This is Apollo Health.
Let’s test what matters. Let’s rebuild your health from the inside out. Let’s get started.
