INSIGHT

Fat Transfers Work Via Mesenchymal Stem Cells

Mesenchymal stem cells in fat transfers reduce scar inflammation and reprogram nearby cells epigenetically.
These cells soften scars, restore mobility, and reveal regenerative mechanisms behind fat graft benefits.

INSIGHT

Aging Is Driven By Lost Stem Cells And Inflammation

Aging reduces stem cell numbers and increases senescent cells that drive inflammation and decline.
RMI targets both by removing inflammatory plasma and restoring youthful cellular signals to improve function.

INSIGHT

Plasma Replacement Is Like Changing Fish Tank Water

Plasma carries inflammatory waste that impairs cell function and can be cleaned and replaced to improve systemic health.
RMI compares plasma replacement to changing the water in a fish tank to rejuvenate the cells inside.

Every team member is dedicated to guiding you through a seamless journey of renewal, ensuring that each interaction supports your path to restored vitality. They tailor solutions that empower you to reclaim your health and embrace a vibrant, rejuvenated life.

In this episode of Mind Shift, Erwin McManus sits down with Dr. Victor Urzola, co-founder of RMI in Costa Rica, to explore the transformative world of regenerative medicine and stem cell therapy. Dr. Urzola, shares about RMI: a cutting-edge facility dedicated to rejuvenating health and extending lifespan through plasma replacement and stem cell infusions. Together, they discuss the philosophy behind regenerative medicine, the importance of early intervention to prevent age-related degeneration, and the strict protocols RMI has refined. Erwin recounts his personal experience with stem cell therapy, including increased energy and pain relief, while Dr. Sola illustrates its benefits with powerful stories, from treating severe scars to helping his own father. They also address ethical considerations, clarifying that no embryos are used, and explain the safe and controlled processes they use. Looking ahead, Dr. Sola introduces the team’s work on cognitive enhancement, pointing to new frontiers in brain health and individualized treatments. The conversation blends science, personal testimony, and future hope, highlighting the power of regenerative medicine to fight inflammation, restore function, and unlock human potential.
