Summary
Are you intrigued by the power of stem cells and regenerative medicine but left with questions every time you try to learn more?
Questions like:
- What's better: your own stem cells or a different source?
- Is it true stem cells "don't work" without some kind of scaffolding to "grow on"?
- Do you need to combine stem cells with exosomes?
- Are tissue engineering and gene editing as dangerous as they sound?
- Can stem cells be combined with peptides and hormones, and if so, how?
In this enlightening conversation with Dr. Adeel Khan, you'll have the opportunity to hear the answers to all those questions and many more (that you may not even know you had!).
Dr. Adeel Khan is an internationally recognized expert in regenerative medicine, having treated numerous high-profile celebrities and athletes. After earning his MD from the University of Ottawa in Canada, he specialized in sports medicine and led one of the first Health Canada-approved clinical trials with mesenchymal stromal cells. Adeel is now the Chief Scientific Officer of Science & Humans and the co-founder of xALT.
In the discussion with Adeel, you'll discover the science of enhancing stem cell function, the difference between stem cells and progenitor cells, the future of gene editing and its interaction with cell therapy and tissue engineering, and even get a sneak peek into Dr. Khan's unique daily routine for optimal health.

| 0:04.3 | It all comes back to you, I think, the model of understanding that disease starts in the cell. |
| 0:08.7 | You have to really understand, like, the seven or eight hallmarks of aging, mitochondrial dysfunction, |
| 0:14.3 | like stem cell exhaustion, telemetrytrition, loss of proteostasis. These are all terms to just say |
| 0:20.1 | the cell is not functioning the way it should be. And so instead of just saying, hey, |
| 0:24.5 | let's just target this one thing and hopefully it'll work. Instead, what we say in regenerative |
| 0:29.1 | medicine and functional medicine is we say, wait a minute, like there's like seven or eight |
| 0:32.5 | different processes going on here. So why don't we try to stack different therapies or modalities |
| 0:37.4 | so we can treat all the different cellular pathways? For example, with chronic pain, |
| 0:41.6 | we know that inflammation is part of it. So yes, we'll get some very good anti-inflammatory stem |
| 0:46.2 | cells and check them into the spot. A lot of times there's a big component of immune dysfunction. |
| 0:50.5 | So that's where peptides can be super helpful, like thymus and alpha-1, thymus and beta-4, |
| 0:54.2 | because they can help with the immune system. And then you can also do IV stem cells because they help |
| 0:58.7 | to systemically target all those other hallmarks of aging. And that's why I love IV stem cells because |
| 1:03.2 | they're really comprehensive in terms of targeting all those cellular hallmarks of aging. |
| 1:11.6 | Faith, family, fitness, health, performance, nutrition, longevity, ancestral living, |
| 1:20.2 | biohacking, and a whole lot more. Welcome to the show. |
| 1:29.4 | Hey, so you may or may not have heard my podcast with Dr. Jeffrey Blande. Crazy, smart, |
| 1:37.4 | father of functional medicine, doing things like harvesting rare known wheat |
| 1:41.5 | varietals from long-lived populations in random places in China, importing them to the U.S, |
| 1:48.8 | growing them, isolating the probiotics and prebiotics from them, and then delivering you this |
| 1:54.2 | comprehensive immune wellness and longevity enhancing approach using an ancient grain that's |
