In this episode of Wellness Focused, we’re diving into one of the most groundbreaking and hope-filled areas of kidney care—stem cell therapy.
As we get older, our body’s natural ability to repair itself slows down. One big reason? We lose stem cells—the “master cells” that help heal and regenerate our tissues. By age 60, many of us have lost nearly 90% of them. That loss can play a big role in chronic inflammation, slower recovery, and kidney decline.
But here’s the exciting part: regenerative medicine is changing the game. I’ll walk you through new research, including a Mayo Clinic study showing how patients who received their own stem cells before dialysis surgery had better healing and longer-lasting results.
You’ll also learn why umbilical cord-derived stem cells are especially powerful—young, potent, and naturally calming to the immune system—and how exosomes, the “messenger packages” stem cells release, can supercharge repair.
Most importantly, I’ll explain why stem cell therapy works best as part of a holistic plan—addressing root causes like inflammation, gut health, toxin exposure, and nutrient deficiencies. I’ll share a real-world story of a patient with Stage 4 kidney disease whose function improved and who remains dialysis-free today.
If you’re curious about the future of kidney health and the power of regeneration, this episode will give you real-world insights, grounded in science and experience.
