“Cold therapy is one of the latest crazes in biohacking and anti-aging,” Moore says, adding that the biohacking center would seem incomplete if it didn’t have a cryotherapy chamber which exposes the body to -220° F for about three minutes, triggering a healing response that detoxifies the organs, increases endorphins, reduces pain and promotes relief for people with anxiety and depression. Rounding out the anti-aging experience, AdvancedYOU’s pulse electromagnetic field (PEMF) device promotes cell health by delivering the same kind of magnetic energy emitted by the Earth, helping to maintain the health and integrity of red blood cells. The zero-gravity meditation lounger, which has five vibrating transducers and a menu of music soundtracks, helps to stimulate brain activity and muscular recovery. Moore is excited to offer all of these treatments in one place at an affordable monthly membership fee that is similar to area gyms. “When you put all of these modalities together, they are going to reduce your biological age—the age of your cells—which is different from your chronological age. We always want to see that your biological age is at least your chronological age or younger.” Since 2003, Moore has been at the forefront of the Texas med spa industry. For 20 years, he owned Advanced Skin Fitness, providing laser hair removal, microdermabrasion and chemical peels in four Dallas location. He is the immediate past president of the Texas Med Spa Association and a current board member of the Society for Clinical and Medical Hair Removal, a national nonprofit. “For 20 years, I helped people with how they looked, and now I help people with how they feel. I’m 50 and my body looks like it’s 35 years old, and I don’t like to go to the gym. By using the equipment we have here, people can free up their time to do other things that they enjoy more.” AdvancedYOU is located at 5706 E. Mockingbird Ln., Ste. 250, in Dallas.
