Summary
In this episode, we're broadcasting live from Toronto with Dr. Adeel Khan, a leading figure in the field of gene and cell therapies. Dr. Adeel Khan, who holds an M.D. and is a Canadian Board Certified Physician, specializes in regenerative and cellular medicine.
He is also a recognized authority as a key opinion leader for The American College of Regenerative Medicine, the foremost advocate for best practices in North America. Notably, he co-founded Xalt, a fitness-technology company, and played a pivotal role in the development of their proprietary technologies. Additionally, he serves as the Chief Scientific Officer for Science & Humans, a virtual hormonal health company.
Dr. Khan's expertise extends globally, as he has treated world champion athletes, members of Royal Families, and celebrities in both Dubai and North America.
Personally, I'm thrilled to share that I've recently undergone gene therapy for the very first time in my life. This is a significant moment for me because I've been envisioning the potential of this technology in the context of longevity for the past two decades. In fact, I documented my beliefs about the ability to manipulate stem cells to reverse their aging process in my book, Superhuman.
The gene therapy I received, which we'll delve into shortly, was administered via a simple injection. Over the next three to six months, it's expected to reduce my biological age, or intrinsic age, by an impressive seven to nine years—a monumental outcome from just one treatment.
Throughout this episode, we'll explore various aspects of stem cell research, particularly the historical use of umbilical cells, which may hold some surprising revelations for you. We'll also discuss the challenges in translating cutting-edge medical research into practical clinical applications and the incredible potential of gene and cell therapy in addressing chronic pain, cancer, and other medical conditions.
What's particularly exciting is Dr. Khan's multifaceted approach to biology, working on multiple fronts to harness its potential. This innovative approach offers a glimpse into a promising future, and I couldn't be more thrilled to dive into this conversation.

| 0:00.0 | If you're feeling low energy there are lots of ways you can fix that. One way is by re-upping |
| 0:04.9 | your quantum energy. Quantum energy isn't just a new age term. It's a force that does exist |
| 0:11.6 | in everything, which is why you can get a PhD in quantum biology today. It's a real science. |
| 0:17.4 | Whether you don't or not, how you feel every day is based on how much quantum energy you have. |
| 0:22.8 | And stressors like toxins or EMFs do disrupt your quantum energy field, which can just make you |
| 0:29.0 | feel off. That's why I'm so interested in Lila quantum tech because they make products that |
| 0:33.9 | use quantum energy to strengthen your bio field and shield you from the effects of EMFs and they |
| 0:38.8 | have clinical studies to back it up. In fact, there have been over 15 placebo controlled studies |
| 0:43.8 | that show that they really do work, even though we're still figuring out all the details. |
| 0:48.3 | Those studies show that LilaQ products help critical functions like blood circulation and |
| 0:53.3 | heart rate variability, and they even give a substantial boost to ATP production. We're talking |
| 0:58.4 | an impressive increase of 20 to 29 percent more ATP. So if you want to get some pure quantum energy |
| 1:05.2 | for yourself, check out LilaQ.com L-E-E-L-A-Q.com. Use code Dave10 to save 10 percent. |

| 1:29.8 | You're listening to the human upgrade with Dave Asprey. This episode is live in Toronto with Dr. |
| 1:37.8 | Diel Khan, who I would say is the Elon Musk of gene and cell therapies. And while I just got |
| 1:46.8 | gene therapy for the first time in my life, this is a momentous occasion for me because I have been |
| 1:54.8 | dreaming about this in the context of longevity for 20 years, and I wrote about it in superhuman |
| 2:00.5 | my big book on longevity, saying we're going to be able to do things to stem cells to reverse their |
| 2:06.3 | age. You know, here's what's possible only in Japan, and here it is a couple years later. |
| 2:12.9 | Well, you can do that. And the gene therapy that I got we're going to talk about, |
