Episode 399: Ben Greenfield on Biohacking vs. Simplicity: The Future of Longevity for Body, Mind and Spirit

However, from what I understand, they require fewer expansions than a normal expanded stem cell. And every time you expand the stem cell lineage, you run the risk of mutations, you run the risk of impurities, and you run the risk of them causing issues in a patient in which they're injected. So if you get stem cells in the U.S., they're unexpanded,

but they're also arguably a little bit safer unless you're getting something like, let's say, a mu cell. You mean, you're talking about it's safer internationally or safer domestically if you're concerned about histocompatibility because the FDA is pretty strict about how stem cells are regulated. Actually, I don't think they're technically regulated by the FDA.

but they're considered to be almost like a pharmaceutical drug or they're treated a little bit like one. They're not quite classified as a drug. You know, they're trying to classify them as a drug, but there's so much regulation in the US that you do have a lower risk of side effect issues, but also a lower stem cell count. So you're getting less of the good stuff.

Arguably, the question is how much less of the good stuff for it to be an issue. Now, what I did was simply a stem cell infusion. This is an anti-aging or longevity or brain health play, right? Stem cells straight into the bloodstream. They go throughout the body. It's like a shotgun approach.

The idea of regenerative medicine using safe expanded stem cells overseas is a good idea, but it's going to be a lot more expensive and inconvenient than doing it in the US. So there's benefits to both. And I bounce back and forth. I've done international stem cell treatments. I've done domestic.

So every three months for like eight years or something like that.
