Can Fasting Supercharge Your Stem Cells?
Can you make your stem cells better by short-term fasting? I get asked frequently by patients about what they can do to help their stem cells prior to a procedure. We developed a supplement a few years back based on intensive in vitro research. However, is there something else? The Stem Cell Response to Aging…read more
It’s Time to Stop Blaming Eggs
Many of us grew up in a world where eggs were demonized. They were loaded with cholesterol, and this was bad for you. It was a simple message; now it turns out that this message was too simple. New research now suggests that eggs are fine. Why Eggs Have Such a Bad Rep It started…read more Spine Surgery Is Damage to Accomplish a Goal

One has already pulled the trigger on an invasive fusion, and the other was offered a big surgery, but due to her extensive healthcare experience decided to “just say no.” For both of them, the thing that sticks in my…read more New DNA Structure Discovered: Nature is LHAO
OK, if you read this blog you know that I love moments when medical or science dogma blows up. So I love that scientists recently found that what we thought we knew about DNA is wrong. They had me at helix. Let me explain. DNA Defined DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid, and as I’ve explained…read more Flip or Flop Star’s Stem Cell Treatment

He’s the ultimate pragmatist numbers guy, and she’s the creative designer who always wants to spend more than they can afford. So I was dumbfounded when Tarek El Moussa, the male costar, reported yesterday on Instagram that he…read more A Patient from Our Rotator Cuff Stem Cell Injection RCT

This morning I’d like to update everyone on where the Rotator Cuff Stem Cell Injection RCT study stands and show a before…read more
