Mindsip insights from this episode:
Prioritize secretomes over exosomes for holistic health benefits
The focus is shifting from pure exosomes to 'secretomes,' which are all the cell secretions including exosomes, proteins, and amino acids that work together.
Prioritize pre-treatment detox before exosome therapy
Preparing the body by removing toxins like heavy metals and plastics before exosome therapy is more important than any post-treatment protocol.
Utilize image guidance to improve accuracy of joint injections
Even the best practitioner will miss the target joint 30% of the time if they are not using image guidance like an ultrasound.
Utilize intranasal delivery of exosomes for rapid nervous system access
Intranasal delivery of exosomes is highly effective because it provides a direct, rapid pathway to the bloodstream and central nervous system.
Ensure rigorous safety scrutiny for exosomes
Contrary to popular belief, exosomes are not inherently safer than stem cells and require the same rigorous sourcing and testing for contaminants.
Recognize exosomes as powerful signaling molecules, not waste
What are now considered powerful signaling molecules, exosomes were once thought to be simple cellular waste or 'cell poop'.
Understand FDA classification of exosomes as drugs
The FDA considers exosomes a drug, and they are not approved for any indication other than topical cosmetic use.
Feed umbilical cord stem cells a ketogenic diet for optimal exosome quality
To optimize the quality of the final product, the umbilical cord stem cells used to create these exosomes are fed a ketogenic diet.
