How do stress and inflammation feed each other?
Your stress response and your immune system are closely connected. Cleveland Clinic lists chronic stress among the common causes of chronic inflammation, a type of inflammation that can last for months or years. When both run high for a long time, you may notice poor sleep, low energy and slow recovery.
One nerve block, both sides of the neck
A stellate ganglion block is an injection of local anesthetic near the stellate ganglion, a bundle of sympathetic nerves in the front of the neck. A dual block treats both sides.
At Reboot Vitality, the Reboot Protocol™ is an ultrasound-guided dual stellate ganglion block (DSGB). Dr. Michael Meighen performs it himself: the right side on day one, the left side on day two.
Using a stellate ganglion block for stress-related conditions is an off-label use. Dr. Meighen reviews the benefits and risks with you before anything is scheduled.
How does Cellular Plasma Recharge work?
Cellular Plasma Recharge is a blood filtration therapy. Your blood passes through a medical membrane outside the body while medical-grade oxygen and ozone are added, then returns to your body.
A review published in Redox Report describes how the method was developed to treat far larger volumes of blood than earlier ozone methods. At our clinic, every session is medically supervised and monitored throughout.
Where does the ozone research stand?
One proposed mechanism is a small, controlled oxidative signal that prompts the body's own antioxidant systems. The research behind it is still early.
A 2026 umbrella review found the trial evidence on ozone therapy inconsistent and mostly low certainty. That is why it is used here as one part of a plan, after an evaluation.
Why consider a nervous system reset alongside Cellular Plasma Recharge?
Each therapy works on something different. The protocol targets the sympathetic signal from the stellate ganglion, and Cellular Plasma Recharge works on the blood.
You can have either one without the other. Your consultation decides whether one, both or neither fits your plan.
What happens at each visit?
The protocol runs on two consecutive days. Day one is your consultation and nervous system evaluation with Dr. Meighen, then the right side. Day two is the left side. Each injection day includes 30 to 45 minutes of monitoring.
After monitoring you can drive yourself home. If there is any concern about driving, the staff arrange a driver or transportation.
Cellular Plasma Recharge is planned as a number of sessions set by your plan. Read what Cellular Plasma Recharge involves before your consultation.
Who may consider both?
Adults living with long stress alongside fatigue, inflammation or slow recovery may ask about both. The clinic serves executives, first responders, veterans, athletes and entrepreneurs.
Cellular Plasma Recharge is one of the Restore services for cellular health and recovery. It can be combined with other parts of your care when it fits your plan.
Coming from elsewhere in Florida?
Reboot Vitality is inside AgeRejuvenation in North Hyde Park, Tampa. A new patient can get started the same week, after the consultation and evaluation.
If you are coming from another part of Florida, mention it when you book. The team can talk through how your consultation and treatment dates fit together.
Common questions
Is Cellular Plasma Recharge the same as EBOO therapy?
Yes. Cellular Plasma Recharge is the clinic's name for extracorporeal blood oxygenation and ozonation, a blood filtration therapy that adds oxygen and ozone outside the body.
Do I need to do both treatments?
No. Each treatment can stand on its own. Pairing them is an option your consultation can discuss when stress and inflammation are both present.
Who performs the dual stellate ganglion block?
Dr. Michael Meighen performs the Reboot Protocol himself, both sides. He also does the day-one consultation and nervous system evaluation.
Who is a good candidate for Cellular Plasma Recharge?
Adults with ongoing fatigue or slow recovery may want to discuss it. Your consultation and an evaluation of your current health decide whether it fits your plan.
