Mattias Bernow is the CEO of Cellcolabs, a pioneering biotech company working to bring safe, affordable stem cell treatments to the world. His mission: to make mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) as accessible as antibiotics—transforming how we treat aging, inflammation, and chronic disease.

In this episode, we explore how stem cells work, why their power lies in immune modulation—not cell replacement—and how regulation, manufacturing, and ethics are shaping the future of regenerative medicine.

Expect to learn:

Why Mattias believes stem cells could become the most important health technology since vaccines

How mesenchymal stem cells reduce inflammation, support healing, and improve recovery

What separates high-quality stem cells from the dangerous black-market clinics

How the industry is finally catching up to the science—especially in Japan and Korea

Why Cellcolabs uses GMP-certified, allogeneic MSCs—and what that means for your health

What Brian Johnson actually received from his stem cell protocol

And why the future of medicine could be an infusion—not an operation
