#180: 🎙️ She Reversed Her Biological Age with Katrin Dreissigacker

About this episode

Nina Patrick interviews Dr. Katrin Dreissigacker about the role of hyperbaric oxygen therapy in reversing biological age and its connections to health and resilience.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Katrin Dreissigacker, a plastic surgeon turned longevity architect and founder of Epigenedit, to explore why hyperbaric oxygen therapy may be one of the most overlooked tools in longevity science. We talk about her journey from a small village in East Germany to becoming known as the “Queen of Needles,” how she reversed markers of biological aging, improved her VO2 max in midlife, and why oxygen, mitochondria, skin health, resilience, and reinvention are all deeply connected. Key Topics: * Hyperbaric oxygen therapy and its role in longevity * Innovations in aesthetic medicine and needling techniques * The impact of oxygen saturation on aging and skin health * Biomarkers of aging and how hyperbaric oxygen influences them * The use of peptides and biohacking for healthspan extension Timestamps: * 00:00 – Reversing Biological Age? The Power of Oxygen * 00:30 – From East Germany to Elite Medicine * 02:30 – Why She Chose Medicine (Unexpected Path) * 02:57 – What Is Aesthetic Medicine (Beyond Vanity) * 05:14 – “Queen of Needles” & Revolutionizing Fillers * 08:46 – First Encounter with Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy * 11:24 – From Pandemic to Longevity…
