In this episode, ground-breaking regenerative medicine researcher Dr. Doris Taylor joins Dr. Victoria Maizes and Dr. Andrew Weil to explore the science, promise, and pitfalls of stem cell therapy. Dr. Taylor, who bioengineered the first beating human heart, explains how stem cells work, why they often fail to regenerate heart and brain tissue, and what needs to change in clinical trials to unlock their full healing potential. Dr. Maizes and Dr. Weil ask about gender differences in stem cells and the ethics of unregulated clinics. They discuss inflammation and autoimmune disease and share their own perspectives on the body’s innate healing ability and the future of medicine.
