In a recent appearance on The Beyond Tomorrow Podcast, our CEO and Founder, Drew Taylor, sat down to discuss a shift from reactive care to personalized, biology-driven regenerative medicine.

From cryopreservation to the potential for 3D-printing organs, the conversation covered why your own cells are the most valuable resource you own. 

 

Cells as the New Currency

Traditional medicine relies on chemical compounds manufactured in labs. Regenerative medicine, however, uses your own biology as the starting material. As Dr. Taylor explained, “The next resource in healthcare will be cells” [01:45]. By banking your cells today, you are essentially securing a biological insurance policy that stays frozen in time while the rest of your body continues to age.

 

Why Hair Follicles

One of the most common questions we get is: Why the hair? Dr. Taylor broke down a few main reasons why the hair follicle is a scientific gem:

• Accessibility: Unlike bone marrow or fat, which require invasive drilling or surgery, hair follicles can be collected via a simple, painless pluck [05:46].
• Robustness: Cells in the follicle are packed in a protective tissue structure, making them easier to transport [05:04].
• Quality: Hair follicles are rich in Mesenchymal Stem Cells (MSCs)—the same high-quality cells found in bone marrow—which are essential for regeneration [06:05].

 

Introducing Secretome 

The “magic” of stem cells isn’t just the cells themselves, but what they secrete. This is known as Secretome—a cocktail of growth factors, exosomes, and molecular cues that tell your body how to repair itself [18:16].

 

Looking Ahead

Dr. Taylor compared the current state of regenerative medicine to the early days of flight. While we are currently “crossing the Atlantic,” the next 20 years will be our “Moon landing” [30:52].

 

Don’t Wait

The most important advice Dr. Taylor shared? Don’t take a passive approach to aging. “The more that we engage and lean in… the better position we’re going to be in to take the greatest advantage of these next-generation therapies” [50:39].

 

The future of medicine isn’t a one-size-fits-all pill; it’s a treatment made by you, for you.
