Reversing Arterial Aging: Drea's Life-Saving Journey
Why do arteries age—and can that process actually be reversed?
In this episode of The Deeper Healing Podcast, host Danielle Howley sits down with Dr. Michael Bauerschmidt, MD, CCT to break down the science behind Drea’s improvement in arterial health.
Using her case as a starting point, Dr. B explains how arterial aging is measured through a carotid ultrasound, which evaluates the thickness of the artery wall—a key marker of cardiovascular risk. Despite having no obvious symptoms, Drea’s arteries had aged beyond her years. Through targeted treatment, she was able to restore them back to normal.
At the center of this approach is phosphatidylcholine IV (Plaquex), a compound essential for rebuilding cell membranes, transporting fats and cholesterol, and helping dissolve plaque buildup within the arteries.
Alongside this, chelation therapy plays a critical role by removing heavy metals like mercury and lead—substances that can damage cells, disrupt protective enzymes, and trigger plaque formation in the first place.
Together, these therapies address both sides of arterial disease:
Removing the underlying cause (toxic metals) and repairing the damage (plaque and weakened cell membranes).
Dr. Michael Bauerschmidt, MD, CCT also challenges conventional thinking around heart disease, emphasizing that inflammation and oxidation—not just cholesterol—are what make plaque dangerous. When cholesterol becomes oxidized, it turns “sticky,” leading to blockages in the arteries.
This episode offers a clear, medically grounded explanation of how arterial disease develops—and what it may take to reverse it.

About the Guests:
Dr. Michael Bauerschmidt is a leading Environmental and Functional Medicine Physician and Founder of Deeper Healing Medical Wellness Center in Charleston, South Carolina. After his own health crisis pushed him beyond the limits of conventional medicine, he trained in environmental medicine and has since helped hundreds of patients uncover the hidden root causes behind their chronic illness — including mold exposure, toxin overload, and immune dysfunction. His approach is simple: find what's wrong, reduce the burden, and give the body what it needs to heal.
Drea is a patient of Deeper Healing whose story has become a powerful example of what can be discovered when deeper cardiovascular testing is performed beyond standard screening. Despite living a healthy lifestyle—eating well, exercising regularly, and having no obvious symptoms—advanced imaging revealed that her arteries were aging faster than expected for her age. What followed was a year-long process of targeted therapies focused on addressing underlying contributors to vascular aging, including toxic burden and cellular dysfunction. Her case is now used as a real-world example of how arterial health can be measured, tracked, and improved when the root causes are identified and addressed.
