Stem Cells for Autoimmune Conditions

In Episode 31 of The Functional Code, Dr. Addy and Dr. Jase explore the fascinating world of autoimmune conditions and the promising outcomes of regenerative medicine. The discussion covers key autoimmune disorders like frozen shoulder, diabetes (type 1 and 2), multiple sclerosis (MS), and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The doctors delve into the science behind stem cell treatments, its efficacy, safety, and potential to enhance and manage symptoms. They share insightful research findings, personal anecdotes, and practical advice on how these progressive therapies can transform patient care. Join us as we decode the science behind pain, performance, and longevity, and discover how regenerative medicine can be a game-changer in managing autoimmune conditions. Dr. Jace Nybo D.C.
