Dr. Joy Kong explains that mesenchymal stem cells drop from 1 in 10,000 at birth to 1 in 2 million by age 80, which slows tissue repair and healing. She argues stem cell therapy can restore regenerative signals and accelerate recovery.

Most people don't realize this, but the moment you took your first breath, you began losing something irreplaceable: stem cells. At birth, 1 in every 10,000 cells in your body was a stem cell, mesenchymal stem cell to be specific. They help you regenerate and repair tissue. You think you're invincible when you're a teenager, right? Sorry to tell you, But the ratio has already plummeted to 1 in 100,000. In your 40s, you have about 1 in 400,000 cells as a stem cell, and by age 80, 1 in 2 million. This dramatic decline explains why children heal faster and why injuries take so much longer to recover from as we age. Our bodies simply are running out of signals to repair. This is why stem cell therapy has proven to have such profound effects, which I see every day at my clinic. Not only helps you repair, it helps you get younger too. If you want to see the evidence, just go watch my YouTube lecture called Stem Cell Therapy as an Anti-Aging Tool. So cheers to more stem cells, which gives you more youthful signals, leading to younger and longer lives.
