In the world of longevity, anti-aging, and rejuvenative medicine, there are so many different things being touted as the fountain of youth and yet we're all here getting older wondering why we can't reverse the clock sooner.

There are a few things that are really interesting and stem cells fall into that category.

When I mentioned stem cells, most of you right away probably think about umbilical cord stem cell banking.

There are also adult stem cells now being extracted from adipose tissue from body fat.

And there are foods you can eat that can also increase your body's production of its own stem cells.

All of this is really interesting.

I get most excited about this as a yoga guy in the context of joint healing,

something like a meniscus or a rotator cuff injury or a degenerated hip.

I wonder if these kinds of solutions might be much more on the near term horizon

than some of the more challenging things like

rejuvenating a heart or fixing your brain all of which seem biologically quite

complex. That will be our topic of discussion on this week's podcast.

If you're new here, it's the Lucas Rockwood show.

I'm a yoga teacher and a trainer, a serial entrepreneur.

And I use this podcast as a way to research and share information around health span,

how to live your best life, specifically in the second half of life.
