Optimization Academy with Dr. Greg Jones 74. Stem Cells for Longevity, Healing, Treating Chronic Disease, Current and Future
In this episode, Dr. Jones sits down with Eric Stoffers, CEO and founder of BioXcellerator, a global leader in stem cell therapy and regenerative medicine. Stoffers is an international pioneer in health, immunity, and longevity, with a vision to make advanced therapies more accessible for patients with autoimmune, orthopedic, neurological, and degenerative conditions.
From his work at BioXcellerator to his leadership as Chairman of Solutions for a Healthier World, a nonprofit focused on improving lives through medicine, science, and education, Stoffers brings innovation and compassion to the future of healthcare.
Listeners will hear insights on the science behind stem cells, detailing the differences between various sources like adipose tissue, bone marrow, and umbilical cords. They explore the unique properties of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), contrasting them with exosomes and addressing common industry myths, including the use of embryonic cells.
You'll hear about the conditions showing the most promising results, from orthopedic and autoimmune issues to neurological injuries like TBIs and spinal cord damage. Eric also discusses the regulatory landscape that differentiates treatment in the U.S. from options abroad, the patient experience at his clinic in Medellin, Colombia, and why he believes regenerative medicine is the present, not the future.
