Today, I'm joined by Christian Drapeau, a visionary pioneer in stem cell science and the mind behind the concept of endogenous stem cell mobilization. Christian's journey takes us from his days as a neurophysiology researcher, wrestling with questions about memory and consciousness, to a life-changing pivot into plant medicine—ultimately leading to groundbreaking work with stem cell–mobilizing botanicals like blue-green algae and sea buckthorn. In our conversation, Christian explains how the body's innate repair system slows down dramatically with age, and why many of the answers we're seeking in regenerative health might actually be within our own biology. We dive into the latest science on harnessing your body's own stem cells for healing—covering everything from muscle recovery and brain support to remarkable outcomes in heart failure, Parkinson's, and beyond.

Are exosomes the future of anti-aging?
Welcome to Episode 269 of Autism Parenting Secrets.My guest this week is Jodi Repko, a board-certified family nurse practitioner with over 20 years in medicine and a MAPS-trained provider. Her journey into functional medicine began when her own son developed medically complex issues, igniting her passion to combine functional and traditional medicine.We dive into a related but lesser-known approach to stem cell therapy - exosomes. These tiny messengers from mesenchymal stem cells carry the body's repair signals. They can cross the blood-brain barrier, calm inflammation, and help restore balance - all without introducing live cells.Jodi explains what they are, how they differ from stem cells, and what she's seen in her practice when exosomes are part of a multidisciplinary approach for children with autism.The secret this week is…EXOSOMES Speak the Language of Repair You'll Discover:What Exosomes Are and How They Differ From Full Stem Cell Therapy (3:34)The Three Main Ways Exosomes Work (7:42)The Underlying Issues That Impact Exosome Success (15:32)Practical Considerations Before Starting Exosome Therapy (23:37) About Our Guest:Jodi Repko is the owner and founder of Restore Holistic Center, a functional medicine clinic that takes a multidisciplinary approach to health and healing.

Exosomes are tiny balls of fat that allow cells to communicate with each other in our bodies. They're being actively researched as an experimental new type of medicine, and they're also being used in the cosmetics industry in serums, as well as being injected into people's skin. Researchers have raised concerns about the safety of this hot new trend in beauty.Presenter James Gallagher meets Dr James Edgar from the University of Cambridge who studies exosomes in his lab, he's also joined by consultant Kamal Kaur who advises the cosmetics industry on regulation around products containing exosomes, and we head to one of the UK's hot spots for beauty clinics and dermatology - the Marlyebone area of London - to meet consultant dermatologist in the NHS and One Wellbeck, Dr Ellie Rashid. Also in the programme, a new physio app is being trialled by the NHS. It's been rolled out to patients in Lothian in Scotland and we meet the people who have been using it, the real-life physio behind it and hear whether apps could be the way many people access physio in the future.

Advancements in Cartilage Repair: Insights from Dr. Raj Shani Cartilage damage is a common issue, particularly among athletes. Understanding the latest repair and preservation techniques is crucial for both medical professionals and those in sports medicine. We recently had the opportunity to discuss these topics with Dr. Raj Shani, a leading expert in the field.Favorite Technique: ACI (MACI) Dr. Shani highlighted Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation (ACI), specifically MACI, as his preferred technique due to its immediate positive impact on patients. This procedure offers a faster, easier, and less burdensome recovery for the patient. Looking ahead, advancements may allow for cartilage harvesting and growth to occur in a single setting, eliminating the current two-stage procedure.Why Athletic Trainers (ATs) Need to Know For athletic trainers, a general understanding of these techniques is invaluable. ATs are often the first point of contact for athletes and see them daily. Their knowledge fosters comfort and trust, allowing for more effective discussions about injuries and treatment options with athletes.Exosomes vs. Gene Therapy: The Future of Growth When considering future growth, Dr. Shani believes exosomes hold more immediate promise. The ability to directly introduce exosomes into the knee makes them a more practical option than gene therapy, which presents significant challenges in modulation.Cartiheal: A Natural Solution Cartiheal, derived from coral, is a fascinating naturally occurring and biologically inductive material. Bone can grow into it, making it a valuable substitute for allografts, which can be expensive or unavailable.The Meniscus: Protecting Cartilage It's important to differentiate the meniscus from the articular cartilage that deteriorates with arthritis. The meniscus plays a vital role in protecting the articular cartilage by increasing the surface area for weight-bearing. Without a healthy meniscus, the cartilage on the bone experiences less surface area for load distribution, making it more susceptible to damage and issues. Cartilage Lesions in Athletes: Sports at Risk Approximately 30% of athletes experience cartilage lesions. Sports involving cutting and contact, such as basketball, are particularly prone to these injuries. While data may be biased due to a higher male participation rate in sports, male athletes generally show a higher incidence of these lesions. Contact Us Jeremy Jackson

In this episode of Skin Anarchy, host Ekta is joined by internationally renowned aesthetic physician Dr. Ivona Igerc—also known as Dr. Ivy—for a thought-provoking conversation on the future of regenerative skincare and the role of cultural intelligence in aesthetic medicine. With a background in oral surgery and a PhD in bone regeneration, Dr. Ivy shares her journey from clinical research in Europe to pioneering facial harmony techniques in Asia and the Middle East.Dr. Ivy offers her unique perspective on beauty—one that merges anatomical expertise, sculptural artistry, and a deep respect for cultural differences. She explains why global ideals of beauty cannot be standardized, and why subtle, undetectable enhancement is the new gold standard. Her “Face Design” method prioritizes identity preservation while elevating natural balance and character.The conversation also dives into the science behind her latest innovation: Europe's first exosome-based skincare line. Unlike stem cells, exosomes offer potent regenerative benefits in a more accessible form, delivering molecular messengers that boost collagen, reduce inflammation, and restore skin vitality. Paired with a newly developed at-home device that incorporates LED, radiofrequency, and EMS, Dr. Ivy is redefining what it means to care for skin from the inside out.This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in regenerative beauty, global aesthetics, and the evolution of skincare.

My guest Brian Pla’s journey from the finance sector to the forefront of regenerative medicine and biocosmetics illustrates his adept transition and entrepreneurial spirit. Initially making his mark in finance and co-founding a foreign currency trading firm, Pla’s subsequent venture into the medical field was sparked by his personal experience with cell-based therapies. This shift led him to introduce new approaches in precision medicine and cell-based treatments, contributing to advancements in non-invasive and minimally invasive procedures. In 2017, he founded Gentera Centers for Precision Medicine and Plastic Surgery, focusing on personalized care and precision medicine, guiding Gentera to become a recognized name in regenerative medicine. The company's innovative approach sets a new standard for rejuvenation by utilizing exosomes—tiny, naturally occurring messengers in the body that promote your appearance at the cellular level. This advanced science is redefining what’s possible in non-invasive treatments, offering solutions that improve skin elasticity, reduce fine lines, enhance radiance, and revitalize thinning hair.
