In this episode, we’re broadcasting live from Toronto with Dr. Adeel Khan, a leading figure in the field of gene and cell therapies. Dr. Adeel Khan, who holds an M.D. and is a Canadian Board Certified Physician, specializes in regenerative and cellular medicine.
He is also a recognized authority as a key opinion leader for The American College of Regenerative Medicine, the foremost advocate for best practices in North America. Notably, he co-founded Xalt, a fitness-technology company, and played a pivotal role in the development of their proprietary technologies. Additionally, he serves as the Chief Scientific Officer for Science & Humans, a virtual hormonal health company.
Dr. Khan’s expertise extends globally, as he has treated world champion athletes, members of Royal Families, and celebrities in both Dubai and North America.
Personally, I’m thrilled to share that I’ve recently undergone gene therapy for the very first time in my life. This is a significant moment for me because I’ve been envisioning the potential of this technology in the context of longevity for the past two decades. In fact, I documented my beliefs about the ability to manipulate stem cells to reverse their aging process in my book, Superhuman.
The gene therapy I received, which we’ll delve into shortly, was administered via a simple injection. Over the next three to six months, it’s expected to reduce my biological age, or intrinsic age, by an impressive seven to nine years—a monumental outcome from just one treatment.
Throughout this episode, we’ll explore various aspects of stem cell research, particularly the historical use of umbilical cells, which may hold some surprising revelations for you. We’ll also discuss the challenges in translating cutting-edge medical research into practical clinical applications and the incredible potential of gene and cell therapy in addressing chronic pain, cancer, and other medical conditions.
What’s particularly exciting is Dr. Khan’s multifaceted approach to biology, working on multiple fronts to harness its potential. This innovative approach offers a glimpse into a promising future, and I couldn’t be more thrilled to dive into this conversation.
