Treatments administered at the cutting-edge RMI stem cell clinic in Costa Rica are setting a new standard for what’s possible for human longevity.
At The Regenerative Medicine Institute (RMI) in Costa Rica, cutting-edge treatments are not only helping everyday individuals, but also elite professionals like astronauts, athletes, and Fortune 500 executives, to enhance their physical and mental capabilities and lead longer, more fulfilling lives.
Using advanced stem cell technology, RMI is the only institute in the country that addresses the cellular aging process and develops solutions to treat accelerated aging at our cells’ root cause. This means that – unlike traditional health models that merely address symptoms, their treatments target the underlying causes of aging and disease, offering patients long-term benefits and solutions.
Founders of the treatment center, former President of the American Board of Anti-Aging Medicine, Dr. Vincent Giampapa, and Plastic and Microsurgery specialist, Dr. Victor Urzola, reveals that several of their active patients are senior astronauts in their late 50s, including the former head of flight surgery at NASA.
“These are really high-functioning individuals who are still going to space, operating better than they have before, and are now better equipped to handle the genetic and radiation damage that space travel initiates,” says Dr. Giampapa.
He explains that “space is the most age-accelerating environment that you could possibly put yourself into,” but stem cell therapy can help reverse that with positive outcomes and no severe side effects.
Stem cell treatments have grown in popularity all over the world, including amongst professional athletes, which Dr. Urzola predicts will be one of RMI’s biggest areas of speciality in the near future.
“Some of the top baseball players in the world have gone to different countries for stem cell therapies, allowing them to do a couple more seasons, but it also kept them from deteriorating quickly once they retired,” Dr. Urzola shares, adding that all types of athletes can benefit from stem cell therapy, as it can help them to recover better, faster, and play for longer.
However, he acknowledges that “if you look at the amount of active professional athletes or even retired athletes for that matter, it’s hundreds of thousands of people who don’t even know that stem cell treatment is available, or they can’t take advantage of it because they’re in a country that doesn’t allow it,” he says.
Ready to tackle this issue head-on, Dr. Urzola and Dr. Giampapa are determined to bring awareness and access to stem cell therapies worldwide, currently looking at how they can “create medicine to meet the needs of the future.”
Research shows that stem cell therapy can protect the body from weaknesses or deterioration, especially when it comes to one’s cognitive abilities. RMI’s holistic approach looks at cognitive enhancement on different levels, including what is possible through stem cell therapy, proper nutrition, and supplemental nootropics.
Dr. Giampapa explains that stress and sleep are two key aspects that impact cognition, so if you’re not getting enough sleep, your body isn’t able to repair damaged cells. Additionally, elevated cortisol and “all the other things that come into play from stress in your life” decrease your ability to function optimally. Combined, these two things can cause you to age quicker.
Treatments at RMI have shown a dramatic improvement in individuals’ cognitive abilities, including, “Fortune 500 executives who need to enhance their memory, recall, mood and handle stress better,” says Dr. Giampapa, who is a big believer that in the near future we can use other technologies in conjunction with stem cell therapies to enhance specific regions of the brain.
“Now this research is in its infancy, and I’m going to be very careful with what I say. But research is beginning to suggest that we may be able to selectively regenerate different parts of the brain that are directly related to memory, like the hippocampus, the amygdala, and the floor of the hypothalamus, which controls multiple different nuclei that regulate aging,” he explains.
“That’s one of the areas in the future that I think will be a major boost in treating not just age related memory decline, but a lot of dementia diseases, like Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, or specific other brain areas.”
One of the reasons Dr. Giampapa and Dr. Urzola are interested in these technological advancements is because of Dr. Urzola’s own mother who has Parkinson’s disease. Fuelling their commitment to taking matters into their own hands, the doctor’s acknowledge how difficult it can be to witness someone you love grow older and get sick.
“We’re doing whatever we can to develop the technologies to help her out,” shares Dr. Urzola. “Fifteen years ago when we started to work on this, we were very committed to making this happen. Right now we are at a point in which we have been able to give these therapies to people and significantly enhance the quality of their lives.”
With a shared passion for regenerative medicine and a deeply personal motivation, Dr. Urzola and Dr. Giampapa are leading the charge in providing the world’s most advanced cellular therapies for healthy aging, longevity, orthopedics, and disease prevention and treatment through RMI’s proprietary longevity programs.
“Prevention is the way,” says CEO of RMI, Dr. Federico Ugalde. “If you don’t spend the money on your wellness right now, you will definitely spend more money when you’re ill.”
Their mission is to not only enhance the lives of elite professionals, but also to create treatments that are accessible for everyday individuals.
