166: BioXcellerator - The Cutting Edge of Stem Cell Therapy
Longevity medicine is moving beyond symptom management—and regenerative therapies are forcing a deeper look at how healing actually works. In this episode, Dr. Buck Joffrey speaks with the team at BioXcellerator about what separates rigorous regenerative medicine from hype-driven shortcuts. The conversation focuses on why stem cells aren't about "replacing" tissue, but about directing the body's own repair systems through immune signaling, inflammation control, and cellular communication. Drawing from Buck's own experience receiving treatment at BioXcellerator, the discussion unpacks why cell source, processing, viability, and delivery fundamentally shape outcomes. They break down the...

163: How Mitochondrial Decline Drives Brain Aging with Dr. Francisco Gonzalez-Lima
In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Francisco González-Lima to delve into the metabolic mechanisms that drive brain aging and cognitive decline. He begins by outlining how reductions in cytochrome oxidase activity, disruptions in oxidative phosphorylation, and the accumulation of mitochondrial mutations progressively impair neuronal energy metabolism. These metabolic deficits, he explains, often emerge long before the structural abnormalities associated with Alzheimer's disease. Building on this foundation, the conversation examines how reactive oxygen species, mitochondrial inefficiency, and altered cortical oxygen utilization contribute to diminished cognitive resilience over time.
