Can regenerative medicine really help us avoid surgery? 🌱 Could plant-derived exosomes be the secret to longevity? ✨

In this episode of me&my health up, host Anthony Hartcher sits down with neurosurgeon Dr. Jeff Gross to explore the cutting-edge world of regenerative medicine. From stem cells and peptides to exosomes—both human and plant-derived—Dr. Gross explains how these therapies are helping patients regenerate cartilage, avoid surgery, and support healthy aging.

You’ll learn:

What stem cells are and how they work in the body

Why exosomes are powerful cell-to-cell communicators

How plant-derived exosomes can boost longevity genes

Practical ways to optimise your “terrain” with exercise, diet, and hormesis

The future of regenerative therapies for joints, discs, and beyond

This episode is packed with insights on how science is reshaping recovery, anti-aging, and overall wellbeing.

About Dr. Jeff Gross

Dr. Jeff Gross, M.D., is a regenerative stem cell medicine and anti-aging specialist and a spine fellowship-trained neurological surgeon. He holds an undergraduate degree in Biochemistry from UC Berkeley and earned his medical degree from The George Washington University School of Medicine.

Dr. Gross is the author of book chapters and medical research cited more than 1,000 times and is an international award-winning speaker at biohacking and stem cell conferences. He treats athletic and degenerative injuries affecting the hip, knee, shoulders, spine, and other musculoskeletal structures, and provides precision medical, longevity, and biohacking consultations aimed at reducing disease and improving health-span.

After years practicing spine surgery, he shifted his focus toward biological and regenerative therapies that support the body’s natural repair mechanisms. His work now centers on treatments including stem cells, exosomes, peptides, and longevity-focused cellular therapies.

Dr. Gross is also the founder of ReCELLebrate, a brand dedicated to advancing regenerative health and longevity solutions.
