A short talk by Robert Whitfield MD about chronic inflammation, limitations of mainstream (allopathic) medicine, and broader approaches to patient care. Whitfield highlights that genetics and "energy medicine" are rarely discussed in conventional practice and describes using an autologous stem-cell expansion device to augment fat-transfer procedures (harvest patient's stem cells, expand them, and reinject) to improve healing and pain control.

There's just the reality is this happens from chronic inflammation. And then what do we need to do as providers, taking care of patients to get them to the other side of it? And what explanations need to be given, you know, for why it's happening now? I think part of it is we're pretty limited in allopathic medicine in general. We don't speak about genetics very much. It's like, not taboo, but not understood. But we certainly don't have discussions about energy medicine. We don't have discussions about different ways to optimize pain control with our patients. We just don't do those things. And I get probably a little bit of stick for that because I'm constantly trying to figure out ways to help my patients. And I really don't care how much I have to invest in my business to get her the best results. So when we do her fat transfer, if that's what she chooses, the way to optimize her result is use my new stem cell device that we can take her stem cells out, hers, expand them, and then we do her transfer, add more stem cells back, because your stem cells help you heal.
