In this episode of 100 Not Out, we welcome Dr. Jeremy Pont—consultant chiropractor, non-surgical spine, and regenerative medicine expert—onto the show to dive into the world of stem cells and their role in joint and spinal health. We start by sharing Jeremy’s fascinating journey from a rugby injury in the Northern Territory to pioneering cutting-edge work in regenerative medicine across Europe and Australia.
We discuss the difference between platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and adipose-derived stem cells, with Jeremy helping us understand why stem cell therapy goes beyond what PRP can offer for difficult cases of arthritis and degeneration—especially when traditional manual therapies or surgery don’t provide solutions. We learn how fat-derived stem cells can offer hope for those not suitable for surgery and how this approach is becoming more accessible, though still mostly in its early stages here in Australia.
As chiropractors, Damian and Jeremy reflect on when these innovative interventions might make sense, particularly for individuals struggling to maintain mobility and quality of life as they age. Jeremy explains how stem cells not only help rebuild tissue but also support healing through anti-inflammatory and paracrine (cell-signaling) effects, and how maintaining movement post-treatment is crucial for recovery.
Towards the end, we zoom out to look at the bigger picture: the massive potential these therapies have to reduce morbidity and extend quality years of life for many people. We wrap up by pointing listeners to Dr. Jeremy Pont’s resources for more information and reiterating our commitment to mastering the art of aging well—always in pursuit of making the rest of our lives the best of our lives!
