Are you constantly dealing with mystery aches and pains in your body that never seem to go away? Many people do in midlife, but what if you didn’t have to just power through it?


In this episode of Midlife Rise + Thrive, I’m joined by Dr. Jeffrey Gross to talk all about regenerative medicine. You might have heard of stem cell medicine (and that’s a good place to start) but this episode explores even more of the groundbreaking options available to help you beat your pain. 


Licensed in California and Nevada, Dr. Jeffrey Gross has SPINE practices in Orange County and Henderson, Nevada. A trained neurological surgeon, he specializes in athletic injuries and spine procedures and offers longevity and biohacking consultations. He founded ReCELLebrate to focus on anti-aging and regenerative medicine, offering modern biochemical treatments and treating surgery as a last resort. 


Topics covered in this episode include:

• How to heal your achy joints and muscles once and for all
• A little-known alternative to surgery to help with your pain 
• How to save money on your health costs 

If you’re wondering how you can feel better without going straight to surgery, the answer lies in this episode.
