605: Stem Cells & The Future of Healing with Dr. Jeffrey M. Gross
Episode description
You’ve got a bum knee or wonky hip. Your doctor says you’re a candidate for a joint replacement, and your insurance has approved the procedure - but you’re not sure if you’re ready for that. You know that joint replacement success rates are extremely high. But you also know this is a major surgery with long-term effects, and you’d like to dig your heels in a little longer. What about platelet rich plasma (PRP)? What about stem cells? On this week’s podcast, you’ll meet a regenerative medical doctor whose work is focused on healing ailing joints.
You’ll learn:
- Where stem cells come from
- Exosomes, stem cells, and PRP - what’s the difference?
- Ethical and legal issues surrounding stem cell harvesting
- Why bone, rather than tissue, injections are preferred
- Cost and recovery considerations
