<p dir="ltr">Today, I'm joined by <a href="http://acorn.me/nat">Dr. Drew Taylor</a>, a trailblazer in regenerative medicine and the innovative force behind <a href="http://acorn.me/nat">Acorn Biolabs</a>. Dr. Taylor's path is anything but ordinary—he went from pitching in professional baseball to pioneering non-invasive ways to collect and preserve the body's most potent cells, all sourced from our hair follicles. His journey is a testament to the power of curiosity, resilience, and the drive to use cutting-edge science for better health and longevity.</p> <p dir="ltr"> </p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>ONE-FREE Year of Hair Follicle Banking:</strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Whether it's for present use or future use, you get one full year of free banking.</p> <p>All you have to do is find a clinic that offers Acorn near you, sign up for your hair follicle harvest, and then go to <a href="http://acorn.me/nat">acorn.me/nat</a> and use code NAT at checkout to get one free year of banking.</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>Episode Timestamps:</strong></p> <p dir="ltr">Dr. Drew Taylor's journey: pro athlete to stem cell science ... 00:06:24</p> <p dir="ltr">Transition from sports to regenerative medicine ... 00:09:45</p> <p dir="ltr">Advances in stem cell therapy and cell reprogramming ... 00:11:01</p> <p dir="ltr">Donor vs. autologous stem cell differences ... 00:12:12</p> <p dir="ltr">Stem cell hierarchy and pluripotency explained ... 00:19:00</p> <p dir="ltr">Limits of biological age tests ... 00:23:27</p> <p dir="ltr">Non-invasive harvesting from hair follicles ... 00:27:36</p> <p dir="ltr">Advantages of hair follicle cells ... 00:30:10</p> <p dir="ltr">Age and timing for cell banking ... 00:33:02</p> <p dir="ltr">Wound healing case study with secretome ... 00:38:19</p> <p dir="ltr">Secretome, exosomes, and topical treatment potential ... 00:40:43</p> <p dir="ltr">Hair regrowth and transplant support ... 00:52:12</p> <p dir="ltr">Accessibility and affordability of Acorn's approach ... 00:56:40</p> <p dir="ltr">Cryopreservation as a "biological insurance policy" ... 00:59:42</p> <p dir="ltr">Microneedling and aesthetic results ... 01:00:39</p> <p dir="ltr">Future uses: sports injuries, immune cells, organ regeneration ... 01:04:30</p> <p dir="ltr">Final advice for longevity and health span ... 01:13:16</p> <p dir="ltr">How to access Acorn's services ... 01:15:18</p> <p dir="ltr"> </p> <p dir="ltr"><strong>Our Amazing Sponsors:</strong></p> <p dir="ltr"><a href="http://puori.com/NAT">Puori</a> - Minimally processed, made from pasture-raised cows' milk, and it's tested for over 200 contaminants every single batch.
