Many people dream of finding a way to stay young forever. Could stem cells provide the answer?Aging is an early warning sign of disease. If you imagine your body as a house, it’s like a smell of smoke or a spark in the electrical wiring that appears before the house catches fire. These issues often go unnoticed until it's too late.It often happens in Western medicine because it’s typically reactive, focusing on sophisticated diagnostics and treatments when the disease is already there. But what if we could catch these signs early before they turn into serious health issues?This is the core of anti-aging medicine.To achieve that, we need a holistic approach, and that's exactly what I'm talking about in this extensive interview, hosted by my dear friend (and patient!)
