How testosterone replacement therapy and stem cells are keeping men young

Whether you hit the gym, eat clean and sleep well or party every night and treat your body like a dumpster, we’re all going to get older.

Granted the way you live will determine how quickly this happens, but the innevitability of ageing will eventually get all of us.

For men this means;

• Lower metabolism
• Lower testosterone
• Lower libido
• Lower level of hormones
• Less energy
• Slower recovery time
• Higher likelihood of injuries
• Harder to gain muscle
• Harder to burn body fat
• Less focus
• Less drive

These features, combined with the added extras that come with lower testosterone such as being less competitive or ambitious, take away from who we are as men. Read our content about; Lower testosterone levels in men and the increase in male suicide.

But not all hope is lost. In the last decade huge advances have been made in this area. Due to religious groups against the idea of “playing God” and against the potential abortion links that stem cells could have, advances in the US, UK and Canada have been slow.

In countries where these restrictions are not an issue, entire facilities have been created with billions in funding to discover the next era of medical science. The most well-known include; Mexico, Germany, Panama and Columbia, where Tijuana, Bavarian Alps, Panama City and Medellin all house respected facilities.

Stem cells, HRT and TRT

Sure you can keep your testosterone levels high by living the right way, a vegan diet, heavy weights, fasting, good sleep and a lack of exposure to chemicals really helps, but it’s nothing like getting a batch of stems cells, increasing your hormone count and testosterone levels from injections.

Stem cells

The king of all these treatments and where we’ll focus most is currently the advances in stem cells.

Many celebrities and star athletes have already benefited from this treatment including;

Mel Gibson and his Father, Joe Rogan, Chael Sonnen, Dana White, Kobe Bryant, Rafael Nadal, Cristiano Ronaldo and Dan Bilzerian.

With such a list of wealthy people it’s obvious that this isn’t a cheap treatment. Costs average around $30,000, however this can reach hundreds of thousands if you want millions of stem cells injected.

There are two types of treatments; Spot treatment and rejuvenation treatment. Spot treatment is popular for athletes, it refers to one specific injury or area of the body that needs to be restored. Ronaldo used this to repair an injured knee extending his career well into his 30’s. Rejuvination treatment is more generalised. If you have no specific need, you can simply receive millions of stems cells to repair and replace via an IV line.

Chael Sonnen

Former UFC fighter Chael Sonnen spoke extensively about his experience with stem cell treatment. With no known injury or problem area, Chael opted for the rejuvenation treatment.

Chael heard from UFC President Dana White how good the treatment was after Dana’s long term ear issue was healed after hours of the stem cell treatment. Dana actually heard about the treatment from NBA hall of famer Kobe Bryant who is a huge advocator of the therapy after it healed a career ending injury he had. After believing Kobe may have to retire, within one week he was back on the court.

Chael visited the Medellin facility in Columbia which he couldn’t say enough good things about. In the US, stem cells are shipped over 3 days in a quantity of 100k. In Medellin Chael was given 25 million cells instantly after being harvested in the clear glass room opposite. Stem cells die quickly if not put into the body, it’s likely the US stem cells are not only a poor quality, but most would be dead after 3 days of shipping especially in that low quantity.

Chael said the treatment was carried out over 2 days, the schedule consisted of; receiving millions of stem cells, receiving a vitamin IV, straight into a hyperbaric chamber, back to the room for rest, and repeat 4 times over 2 days. The complex around the facility also had restaurants, a cinema, shopping mall and more.

The average price of the treatment is $30k, Chael also added his version wasn’t the cheapest thing he’s ever done.

Doctors claim that it should be around 3 months before you start to feel results, however Chael like Dana and Kobe, told the Doctors that he felt fantastic within hours of the treatment. Within the first month Chael reported faster recovery from training, improved mood and an overall feeling of better health. Within 3 months he reported the same improvements but even more amplified. Excitingly Doctors claim that the stem cells continue to keep improving your body up to 8/9 months where they peak.

Mel Gibson

A-list actor and director Mel Gibson used stem cells to help his Father who was 92 years old and dying. He faced heart and kidney failure along with being in a wheelchair when he arrived at the facility due to weakness.

After receiving MSC from an umbilical cord, his Father made a swift recovery with his heart and kidneys returning to a healthy state. Additionally he no longer needed the wheelchair, his eye sight improved, cognitive functions improved and the nurses even reported erections which shocked everyone including Mel’s Father himself.

Dan Bilzerian

Dan is a major advocator of the treatment. He went on the Joe Rogan podcast and spoke about his trip down to Tijuana, Mexico. Dan had regenokine treatment focused on the entire overall health of his body and spot treatment for his bicep. Again Dan received an IV line with bone marrow from a 19 year old and stem cells from a placenta. Within 1 day the dental work he had done the same day as the treatment had fully healed. After 3 weeks he was boxing which is staggering considering his bicep was in such pain before. Dan also reports that even after 15 years of training he became 20% stronger in the gym.

Testosterone replacement therapy and hormone replacement therapy

As you age your testosterone levels drop. This makes your metabolism, ability to build muscle, ability to burn fat, stamina, libido, confidence, energy and more far worse.

In order to improve these you can change your lifestyle and it certainly helps. Alternatively you can impact these levels artificially. Of course both together is best, but the artifical method has a far greater impact than the natural.

Something that many celebrities and wealthy men are doing is receiving testosterone injections each month from their Dr also know as TRT/testosterone replacement therapy.

The key is to keep your testosterone levels at a healthy number. Although you’re getting replacement therapy, it’s important not to go over a healthy number and have testosterone that is too high.

The cost of TRT isn’t as bad as you’d expect, around $1000 per month or roughly £800, in order to regain your youth seems like a good deal.

Impact of TRT

Those who do take TRT claim the following benefits;

• Increased energy
• Increased sex drive
• Improved strength
• Better mood
• Improved stamina
• Increased drive in general
• Find it easier to burn fat/keep body fat from building
• Improved focus

Are stems cells and TRT worth it?

100%, who doesn’t want to feel young for an extra 20 years of their life. Having energy, focus, drive and an improved appearance from 40 to 60 is a dream or at least it used to be.

However the costs aren’t sustainable for the average person. I’m sure this will change over time as usually happens with any new treatments, but is there a way men can get these treatments without having to spent a ridiculous amount on bills?

Most of us are encouraged to pay into our pension throughout our careers, but cannot touch this money until we’re too old to enjoy it. The money is instead used as a backup for getting ill or needing care.

Would it not make more sense to opt out of a pension/healthcare and whatever else, in order to pay for stem cells and TRT into older age? You’ll hardly have to retire if you have more energy, drive and improved health. TRT and stem cells could be the new answer to saving for retirement, old age and deterioration of health.
