The Over 40 Alpha Podcast Funk Roberts

Stem cell therapy has multiple benefits for older men, including regenerating damaged tissues, anti-aging, joint pain relief, and inflammation reduction. A 20-year study in France involving patients booked for knee replacement surgery showed that 80% of the patients who received bone injections didn’t need the surgery 15 years later. 

My guest, the renowned neurosurgeon Dr. Jeffrey Gross, has observed older patients in their 70s and 80s recover from multiple pains and aches through stem cell therapy. I invited him again to the podcast to help us understand how we can use regenerative medicine to improve joint health, vitality, and longevity.

Dr. Jeffrey explains the ethical sourcing of stem cells, the significance of the latest MRI technology, and the power of exosomes in promoting healing. He also highlights the importance of questioning quick prescriptions and advocates for a holistic approach to health that includes diet, exercise, and supplementation.

Do you want to regain vitality and live a long, active life? Tune in to discover how stem cell therapy could revolutionize your health and longevity.

The traditional expectations of stoicism in Latino culture limit many men from expressing their true selves.

Most of us understand that nutrition is a critical pillar of health and wellness. But sometimes, despite our efforts to eat a balanced diet daily, we still have dietary deficiencies, partly because food quality has changed over the years. 

Nutritional supplements help us compensate for the deficiencies and improve our overall health. So, today, I'm going to take you behind the scenes of one of our coaching calls, where I talked about the top 10 to 15 supplements for men over 40, why you need them, and how to use them for the best results.


We talked about the role of supplements like creatine, whey protein, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D3 and K2, magnesium, zinc, HMB, probiotics, CoQ10, Vitamin B12, ashwagandha, and saw palmetto in combating age-related muscle loss, promoting gut health, supporting hormonal balance, boosting testosterone, and improving mental, prostate, and overall health. 


I also emphasized the importance of sleep in maintaining health and suggested a six-week challenge to enhance sleep quality.
