Dr. Johnson prioritizes brain health as the catalyst for mental well-being and comprehensive bodily health. Dr. Johnson has achieved many awards and educational degrees, including a medical degree, two doctorate degrees, and a master’s degree, as well as a Doctor of Science.
Dr. Johnson attended prestigious universities in the UK, such as the University of Glasgow, London, and Oxford in England. Along with his other academic achievements, Queen Elizabeth II also honored him for his medical contributions to the UK. Sadly, Dr. Johnson experienced the loss of both his parents at the age of 22, which motivated him to start his own biopharmaceutical company. Starting with only $450 in his pocket, he built his company from scratch in his kitchen and has since turned it into a successful company, achieving his lifelong dreams.
In Casa Privée, they offer multiple services such as neuropsychiatry/addiction therapy, hyperbaric oxygen recovery treatment, anti-aging therapy, sports medicine, The Super Human Protocol, IV nutrition/sports medicine (peak performance), hormone therapy, beauty, Butler Services, ketamine infusion, etc.
ENSPIRE was able to interview Dr. Johnson regarding both himself and Casa Privée, and this is what he had to say.
What special treatments does Casa Privée offer to help with brain health, overall wellness, and aging?
Casa Privée delivers superb medical care, which includes modern addiction treatment with 24/7 supervision, supervised stays in exclusive suites during the acute phase, detoxification, ketamine augmentation, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), and hyperbaric oxygen treatments.
Other Treatment Details and Benefits:
- Cryotherapy: Cryotherapy delivers temperatures below -200 F to accelerate tissue repair by improving circulation and drainage of the lymphatic system (which clears toxins from the body) and also helps to boost the immune system. Cryotherapy helps to alleviate injuries, enhances general metabolism, and activates skin receptors to produce more endorphins, thereby creating a greater general sense of wellness.
- Hyper T Pro (Superhuman Protocol): Combines red light therapy with hyperthermia (up to 220 F) as part of our SuperHuman Protocol to create greater physical endurance, stamina, and whole-body wellness. It decreases inflammation and has anti-aging benefits; reverses oxidative stress; and increases ATP (energy) through photomodulation. Increased metabolism promotes weight loss, improves skin tone, and increases endurance. This advance allows exercising, or HIIT (high-intensity interval training), to be performed for 15 to 60 minutes for maximum caloric burn and metabolism. The integrated fitness protocol uses far infrared light, convection heat, and exercise bands for optimal thermal exercise results and benefits.
- TheraLight (Superhuman Protocol): This revolutionary technology emits low-power red light wavelengths directly into the skin. It is a pain-free process that cannot be felt, as there’s no heat produced by the light. While many companies refer to red light therapy as laser therapy, there are no lasers involved. The TheraLight 360 bed uses a light-emitting diode (LED) system that features LED panels. It is considered a ‘low light’ therapy, as the panels diffuse the light rather than shoot it in a concentrated beam as with a laser.
- EMsculpt Neo: Body Sculpting with the Emsculpt Neo uses high-frequency electromagnetic pulses and radio frequency to build muscle through contractions and burn fat, respectively. Emsculpt NEO can build up to 25% more muscle and burn 30% more fat. We use this procedure to help tailor our services to their needs. It can be used to tone abdominal muscles and eliminate fat deposits on the waist. It can also be used to tighten and sculpt the buttocks
- BTL EMsella: A non-surgical, non-invasive treatment for incontinence caused by a weakened pelvic The EMsella chair emits a high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) wave to create supramaximal contractions within the pelvic floor muscles over a 30-minute session twice a week for 3 weeks.
- Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is an evidence-based medical treatment demonstrated to speed up healing and reduce the severity of wounds and infections in less time. Among patients who complete the treatment recommended by their physicians, the rate of healing is greater than 85 percent. It is a medical treatment where the patient breathes 100% oxygen under pressure in a pressurized chamber. We normally only breathe 21% oxygen into our atmosphere. The oxygen is pushed into the plasma, lymphatics, and distal tissue, and it creates the body’s capabilities to create angiogenesis, which is the formation of new blood vessels, which in turn brings more blood and healing factors to an idea that is hypoxic and has miraculous effects on healing.
- Theta Chamber: The ThetaChamberTM is a unique breakthrough in personal development that helps the brain reduce stress and regain chemical balance. Using subtle and non-invasive modalities such as vestibular motion, binaural beats, cranial-electrotherapy stimulation, and eye movement desensitization reprogramming (EMDR), the chamber delivers a highly therapeutic effect. Clients initially feel an enhanced sense of time and space as the chamber begins its spin. The lights, beats, and subtle currents serve as sensory stimulation, delivering customized frequencies. Then the person feels deep relaxation and stimulation of specific brain activities.
- Benefits of the Theta Chamber: Induce a “Theta” brainwave state, opening the brain to suggestion, learning and healing, Signal the hypothalamus to return to producing normal levels of serotonin, dopamine, and other neurotransmitters, Encourage the brain to create and use new, normal neural pathways (also known as “entrainment”)
- IV Therapy: There are many different IV nutritional therapy protocols, depending on what your health goals are. Whether you are looking for a quick energy boost or a fast defense for the cold and flu season, we have it all at Casa Privée. Our seasoned nutritional counselors can help navigate you through your options. Perhaps a Myer’s cocktail is just what the doctor ordered.
- IV drip nutrition therapy can improve overall wellness by providing 100% of the vitamins and nutrients your body needs. Depending on your needs and desires, IV nutrition therapy may include: improving immune health. Boost energy levels. Alleviate the symptoms of depression. Reduce anxiety. Improve mental clarity and cognitive function. Reduce the symptoms of migraines.
- Ketamine Therapy: Ketamine offers a promising avenue for therapeutic intervention, demonstrating its potential to effectively alleviate the symptoms of various conditions. Its unique mechanism of action targets neurotransmitter pathways in the brain, resulting in rapid and profound effects. Research suggests that ketamine can provide relief for individuals with treatment-resistant depression, anxiety disorders, and chronic pain. By modulating glutamate receptors, ketamine can prompt the growth of new neural connections and promote neuroplasticity, which contributes to improved mood and reduced pain perception. Administered under controlled medical supervision, ketamine treatments offer a valuable option for those who have not responded well to traditional treatments.
- Studies show red light therapy helps improve overall health, with the following applications being cleared by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA): It accelerates muscle repair and restores motion to joints. Provides temporary relief from sore muscles, joint aches, pain, stiffness, nerve pain, and arthritis. It reduces inflammation, supports athletic performance and recovery, improves sleep and mood, promotes skin anti-aging, increases collagen production, improves skin elasticity and appearance, regulates the synthesis of free radicals, and reduces the effects of oxidative stress. HBOT is used to treat many different health conditions, including: Post-surgery wounds, Diabetic wounds that are not healing properly, Carbon monoxide poisoning, Cyanide poisoning, Gas gangrene is a form of gangrene in which gas collects in tissues. Decompression sickness, Sudden or traumatic inadequate blood flow in the arteries, Select wound healing, Skin grafts and flaps, Infection in a bone called osteomyelitis, Delayed radiation injury, A flesh-eating disease called necrotizing bacterial soft tissue infections, Air or gas bubbles are trapped in a blood vessel. This is known as an air or gas embolism. long-term (chronic) infection called actinomycosis
How did Dr. Johnson’s personal experiences shape his success in medicine?
Dr. Bankole Johnson’s journey started in Nigeria, where he was born. At age 15, Dr. Johnson moved to England with his family, where he was homeschooled before attending university. His pursuit of knowledge led him to earn degrees in medicine, neurology, and computational mathematics. His academic journey was unconventional, starting at the university at just 16.
Growing up in Nigeria instilled in Dr. Johnson a strong sense of community and an understanding of diverse cultures. This background has been fundamental in his approach to mental health, allowing him to appreciate the different ways mental health issues manifest and are treated across cultures.
Curiosity is Dr. Johnson’s primary motivator. Homeschooled his whole life, Dr. Johnson had a fear of missing out on knowledge, which drove him to explore extensively. This curiosity led him to psychiatry and later to a scholarship in psychopharmacology at Oxford University.
Dr. Johnson’s credentials are as impressive as his vision. With a medical degree, two doctorates, and a master’s degree, including the prestigious Doctor of Science (D.Sc.), the highest accolade awarded by British universities, his academic journey spans renowned institutions such as the University of Glasgow, London, and Oxford University. His contributions to medicine have been acknowledged by Queen Elizabeth II, a testament to his impact and dedication. As a leading figure in the world of neuroscience and medicine, Dr. Johnson specializes in brain function, brain imaging, neuroscience, and molecular genetics. His approach is unique, utilizing some of the world’s rarest and most advanced technologies in treatment. His prolific career extends beyond clinical practice, with significant roles in academia and publishing. As a professor, editor-in-chief, and member of numerous editorial boards, Dr. Johnson’s insights have been invaluable to the medical community. His extensive body of work includes over 400 articles, with a remarkable citation count exceeding 14,000, showcasing his influence and expertise in the field.
Professor Dr. Johnson is also the founder and Chief Medical Officer of Adial Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a publicly listed (on the NASDAQ) pharmaceutical company in August 2019, which developed as a start-up at the University of Virginia. Dr. Johnson started Adial Pharmaceuticals in his kitchen with just $450. He was motivated to translate his research into practical applications. He wanted to see the direct impact of his work on individuals, which is not always visible in academic research. The company’s growth and NASDAQ listing were beyond Dr. Johnson’s initial expectations.
In what ways does Casa Privée offer advanced technology to provide treatments related to anti-aging and sports medicine?
All of Casa Privée’s treatments, from wellness, neuropsychiatry, and addiction to anti-aging, are offered through unique scientific technologies. Dr. Johnson specializes in understanding brain function, brain imaging, neuroscience, and molecular genetics, using the latest and some of the rarest forms of technology for treatment.
While we do not seem able to completely reverse aging, there is evidence we can “hold back time.”. At Casa Privée, we do this through Prof. Dr. Johnson’s concept, which he calls AIR.
Air, in the form of hyperbaric or high-pressure oxygen, reaches at least 2 – 2.4 atmospheres. Hyperbaric (HBOT) machines are the most powerful anti-oxidant at the level of the cell to keep the cells healthy and also, importantly, stop the shortening of the telomeres or even lengthen them again by up to 20%. This revolution in knowledge is a potent means to reverse or arrest aging. The record for reversing aging stands at about five years. Imagine that! Few modern, high-efficiency HBOT machines are available in Miami!
Intravenous biological support. To prevent aging, your cells need to be at peak performance. We provide a special and proprietary combination of nutrients and cofactors that stimulate the “engines” within the cell. We supplement this with 6-point advice to boost microbiome (gut) health and immunity and decrease inflammation.
Regenerative genetic-based products optimize gene function and help revitalize cellular function. They can help the body repair cellular damage and restore function.
Are there added benefits to anti-aging treatment apart from just slowing aging? Yes, the same processes are applied to help individuals with a concussion and head injury (e.g., seen prominently with NFL, boxers, and basketball players), anyone who has suffered a head injury in an accident, diseases of the aging brain like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease, speed recovery after plastic surgery (e.g., breast augmentation), and there is growing evidence that this approach may be a future innovative treatment for mental health diseases. It’s also beneficial to speed up recovery associated with sprains, tears, and bone fractures.
The high-end medical facility offers Hyper T Pro, also known as the Superhuman Protocol, which combines red light therapy with hyperthermia (up to 220 degrees Fahrenheit) to deliver greater physical endurance and stamina while providing anti-aging benefits. It helps accelerate muscle repair and restore motion to joints, supporting athletic performance and recovery. It also promotes skin anti-aging and serves as an adjunct therapy for weight loss.
Casa Privée also provides exercise with oxygen training (the EWOT system), where patients exercise for up to 15 minutes, breathing 93+% O2 while interval sprinting. Tissue and micro-vessels come “alive” when bathed in oxygen. Oxygen training, known as EWOT, is being done worldwide to super-oxygenate the body. Deconditioned and super athletes alike are seeing benefits beyond compare. Physicians and super-regeneration centers worldwide have also adopted EWOT.
At Casa Privée, many guests often seek out specific treatments, but they often leave discovering relief and benefits in many other areas of their lives.
How does Casa Privée serve famous people like Taylor Dayne and Lennox Lewis?
Casa Privée has no waiting area or a lobby; visits are exclusive and timed. Casa Privée uses the InpixonTM system to ensure that guests will hardly meet anyone else unless it is planned that way. Privacy, utter comfort, and discretion are Casa Privée’s bywords.
Dr. Johnson’s mantra is simple: “Time Travel in Medicine,” which will make you look and feel younger and enhance your mind-body well-being. The goal is to enhance guest’s quality of life while adding on a few more years. Guests can go for the full beauty, wellness, and relaxation experience to just feel and look better, or they can fully get better: Dr. Johnson and the team at Casa Privee treat everyone from cancer patients to autism to severe brain injuries.
A recent episode of The Real Housewives of Miami featured Alexia Neopla bringing her son Frankie in for hyperbaric oxygen as part of his treatment for a brain injury suffered during a traumatic car accident. Pop star Taylor Dayne received hyperbaric oxygen exactly a year post-cancer treatment, while athletes such as former heavyweight boxer Lennox Lewis and NFL star David Njoku have all received treatments.
But celebrities aside, it’s all about the machines and treatment. Whether it’s sleep, anxiety, depression, weight gain, or any kind of ailment, Casa Privee and Dr. Johnson have the fix.
Why is Casa Privée focused on helping people achieve overall wellness through advanced technology healthcare?
Casa Privée is focused on helping people achieve overall wellness through advanced technology in healthcare because Dr. Bankole Johnson believes technological advancements are the future of psychiatry and neuroscience. Healing is more than the simple act of alleviating disease. Guests often come to Casa Privée without a defined disease but wish to attain a state of complete brain health and body wellness, optimize beauty, and slow the ravages of aging, a concept Dr. Johnson calls Alafia.
The many novel treatment modalities within Casa Privée emphasize the unequal quality of the treatment experience in their individual properties and in the fusion of their unique combinations into panels and packages that are personalized to fit all your needs.
What makes Casa Privée different from other medical centers in terms of services and technology?
Casa Privée, staffed by the best doctors and health workers in America, is at its core a medical center, with the world’s finest high-technology medical spa wrapped around it to promote health, wellness, and beauty, and retard the ravages of aging. Casa Privée distinguishes itself by using the brain, the most complex machine in the universe, and its workings as a method to both sense and deliver what is needed to achieve complete wellness.
Casa Privée moves beyond science and beyond borders to transcend the traditional role of the doctor, nurse, psychologist, sociologist, or other health care workers in the delivery of five-star medical care that results in healing, all in a post-opulent, luxurious setting, designed to amplify all the senses of sight, smell, touch, feeling, and simply “being” to create an unparalleled emotional experience rarely seen in the Western World.
Therefore, our medical wellness center provides world-class exclusive services that are delivered mostly through scientific technologies that can heal, enhance, and transcend the human aging process.
