Regenerating Health with Stem Cells, Nutrition & Innovation w/ Dr. Robert Marx

In this remarkable episode, Kelly and Neil are joined by the legendary Dr. Robert Marx, a pioneer in oral and maxillofacial surgery who’s helped shape modern regenerative medicine. From war-zone trauma patients to groundbreaking bone regeneration, Dr. Marx shares some of the most incredible patient stories of his decades-long career.

They dive into innovations like recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein (rhBMP), platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and stem cell therapies that are changing how we treat cancer, trauma, and bone disease.

Plus, the conversation flows into GLP-1s (like Ozempic & Wegovy), protein deficiencies, osteoporosis, estrogen, testosterone, and how nutrition must evolve alongside medical advancements.
