We’ve all heard of the medical professionals who guarantee a cure-all for the ailments they treat – weight loss, hair loss, or pain free joints, you name it – they promise perfection where we know it can’t exist.
Today’s conversation was incredibly refreshing because our guest, Dr. Rafael Gonzalez, does the exact opposite. He talks about a complex subject – regenerative medicine and stem cell therapy – in a grounded, simplified, and no B.S. way.
Dr. Gonzalez, Chief Development & Scientific Officer: TheBioBox & RESTEM, obtained his Ph.D and BS from the University of California, Irvine. In addition to his expertise in degenerative disorders involving the spinal cord, he has extensive experience in stem cell culture and biology, regenerative medicine and maintaining immune health to promote longevity.
Dr. Gonzalez has been in the regenerative medicine sector for more than 20 years. He has several scientific publications, patents in the cell therapeutics-based field, and has worked extensively on secretome/exosome stem cell products. He has also taught, spoken and led many conferences nationwide in the cell therapy and longevity sector.
In today’s episode, Dr. Gonzalez not only explains the basics of stem cells, but also answers some tough questions surrounding ethics and building and managing a staff. Specifically, we discuss:
- What stem cell therapy is and how can it help a variety of people
- How to manage skeptical clients and deliver reliable results
- How he differentiates himself to stand out as professional for the right reasons
- The 3 guiding principles you uses for hiring new staff
