What Is a Stem Cell?

By Chauncey Crandall, M.D.

Stem cells are the so-called “master cells” of the body that have the ability to develop into virtually any other type of cell. When a stem cell divides, each new cell can develop a specialized function such as a nerve cell, a skin cell, or a red blood cell. They can help repair the body by dividing to replenish cells damaged by disease, injury, or normal wear.

The use of stem cells — called “regenerative medicine” — is not new. Transplanted cells have been used for decades to battle various cancers, with the first therapies emerging 30 years ago. Currently, stem cell transplants are used in the treatment of leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma.

In some cases, cancer patients receive very high doses of chemotherapy or radiation, which can kill tumors, but also wipe out stem cells in the bone marrow. Transplants help stimulate the growth of such cells.

Special: Stem Cells Are Changing Medicine. Here’s What You Should Know.

Stem cells can also reduce scar tissue and improve skin regeneration by boosting collagen production and enhancing the natural healing process.

Emerging stem cell research has shown promise against diabetes, dementia, Parkinson’s disease, spinal cord injuries, vision problems, genetic defects, burns, and a host of other ailments.

And with regard to cardiovascular disease, there’s great excitement around the potential of stem cells to help regenerate the heart muscle in people suffering from congestive heart failure.

The Muscle Longevity Blueprint: The Ancestral Protein Secret That Reverses Aging

The science is clear: A1 dairy protein triggers inflammation, digestive distress, and cellular aging. A2/A2 protein (the original form) may be the missing link to longevity and lifelong strength.​

If you've been told to eat healthy after a cancer diagnosis—and then found yourself confused with conflicting advice about sugar, soy, protein, and dairy—this hour is for you.



There's so much noise out there. One source says avoid all animal protein; the next says load up on it. One demonizes soy; another calls it protective. It's exhausting, and it leaves you afraid of your own plate at the very moment you most need food to feel like an ally.



In this free hour, we'll cut through the confusion together. We'll walk through what the research consistently points to—whole plant foods, fiber, color and variety, gut health, and fewer ultra-processed

foods—and what Radical Remission survivors around the world have taught us about using food as one of the 10 Healing Factors to support the body's natural healing capacity.



This isn't about perfection or overhauling your life overnight. It's about walking away with less confusion, more confidence, and a clear place to begin. Join Lisa Tarantino, CFNC, and Shelly Keren, N.D., Certified Radical Remission Workshop Instructors, for this one-hour free webinar. September 21, at 12pm EST​

This article explores some of the most talked-about natural remedies — from ancient practices to everyday pantry staples — that people are using to take the edge off their worst allergy symptoms. If you've ever wondered whether there's a gentler, drug-free approach worth trying before or alongside conventional options, this is a solid place to start.

 
Hi Jimi,



You may be doing so many of the “right” things for your health… and still feel like something is missing.



That’s exactly why I created The Missing Link to Healing Quiz.



In less than 5 minutes, it can help you uncover deeper patterns that may be standing between you and the health you want.



Take the quiz here and discover what your missing link may be.



Take The Missing Link to Healing Quiz

Wishing you health and happiness,
 
When Novak Djokovic talks about what transformed his career, he doesn't start with training. He starts with food.



When Dr. Mark Hyman explains why patients stay sick, he doesn't start with prescriptions. He starts with what's on their plate and what's on their mind.



And when Wim Hof teaches people to take back control of their immune system, he starts with something you already do 20,000 times a day: breathing.



We spent years interviewing 47 of the world's leading voices in health, psychology, and human potential for Transcendence — doctors, scientists, athletes, and teachers whose work has reached millions.



And across all 47 interviews, one message kept surfacing: your body is designed to heal, if you understand what's actually getting in its way.



That's what this series gives you. Not theories. Not trends. The practices these experts use themselves and teach to the people they help, laid out across 10 episodes you can watch completely free.



Starting September 10th, both seasons of Transcendence are streaming FREE for a limited time.

In good health,
 
There's a phrase on egg cartons that costs you two to three times more than the carton beside it, and the USDA has no legal definition for it at all.



The phrase is "pasture-raised."



That's not a scandal on its own — pasture-raised eggs often are exactly what you'd hope. But with no federal standard behind the words, the words alone guarantee nothing. What makes the claim real is a certification seal printed next to it. So the difference between a meaningful $9 carton and a marketing $9 carton comes down to a small logo most of us have never looked for.



I went through the whole cooler. Here's what each label actually means.



Conventional. No welfare claim on the carton. In most states, that means battery cages, and each hen has less floor space than a sheet of paper.



Cage-free. Not in cages. Also not outside. Cage-free hens generally live their entire lives indoors, in barns that can hold tens of thousands of birds.



Free-range. This one does have a USDA requirement behind it — continuous outdoor access during the laying cycle. What the rule doesn't specify is how much outdoor space, or shared among how many birds. In a barn housing 200,000 hens, "outdoor access" can be a small screened porch that most of them never find.



Organic. A feed and treatment standard: organic feed, no antibiotics, plus an outdoor access requirement. It tells you a lot about what the hen ate and less about how she lived.



Non-GMO. Feed only. Says nothing about housing.



Pasture-raised. The one you probably want, and the one with no USDA definition. Under Certified Humane it means 108 square feet of actual pasture per bird, year-round. Under American Humane, 108.9. Without one of those seals, it means whatever the marketing department decided it means.



Vegetarian-fed. This is the one that surprised me, because it sounds like an upgrade and it's closer to the opposite. Hens are omnivores. On pasture they eat bugs, worms and grubs — and that's where a good share of the omega-3 in the yolk comes from. "Vegetarian-fed" is telling you the bird never got outside to eat what she's built to eat.



Hormone-free. Meaningless. It's illegal to give hormones to laying hens in the US. Every single egg in that cooler is hormone-free.



Brown or white. Breed of hen. That's the entire difference. Not nutrition, not quality, not freshness.



So does any of it change the egg? Less than the marketing suggests, and more than the skeptics allow.



The macros barely move. A pasture-raised egg has roughly the same protein, calories, fat and cholesterol as a conventional one.



The differences sit in the micronutrients and the fat quality. Research from Penn State and others has found pasture-raised eggs running two to four times higher in vitamin D — hens synthesize it in sunlight, the same way we do — along with meaningfully more omega-3s, vitamin E and beta-carotene.

Worth saying plainly: a fair amount of the comparative testing has been funded by farms and producers with a stake in the answer, and the independent literature is thinner than either side tends to admit. The vitamin D finding is the one that has held up most consistently.



This week at the cooler, skip the words on the front and look for a certification seal. "Pasture-raised" beside a Certified Humane or American Humane logo is a standard somebody audits twice a year. "Pasture-raised" on its own is a phrase somebody wrote.



And if you're buying eggs mainly for the nutrition, the difference lives in the yolk — so fewer certified pasture-raised eggs, whole yolk included, does more for you than more conventional ones.



Hit reply and tell me what your carton actually says. I'd genuinely like to know what people are finding, because the labels vary a lot by region, and I'll publish what comes back.

Healthfully yours,
 
You already put a lot of effort into taking care of your health.



You try to eat well, move your body, manage your stress, get enough sleep, take the supplements...



And somewhere along the way, taking care of your health can start to feel like one more full-time job.



Which is why, these days, I’m much more interested in the things that give us the biggest return for the effort we put in.



Especially in midlife!



And one area I don’t think we talk about nearly enough is protecting our mobility, strength, and spine BEFORE they start limiting the life we want to live.



My friend Ari Whitten is hosting a free training with Dr. Yonatan Whitten, who has spent more than 20 years helping people build stronger, more resilient bodies.



Join the FREE Healthy Spine Training here >>



One thing I really like about Dr. Whitten’s approach is that this isn’t about spending hours stretching, obsessing over perfect posture, or adding another complicated routine to your day.



He’s going to walk you through the 4 key factors that influence how your spine adapts and ages, including movement, strength, how your body handles load, and the positions you spend your days in.



And more importantly, he’ll show you where a few simple changes can make a meaningful difference over time.



Because I want us thinking beyond simply “not having back pain.”



I want you to be able to:

  • Carry the groceries without thinking twice.
  • Get down on the floor and back up again.
  • Travel. Hike. Lift weights. Pick up your grandkids.
And still feel strong, mobile, independent, and at home in your body decades from now.



Save your spot for the FREE training here >>



Midlife asks enough of us already.



I’m all for finding the simple, high-impact things we can do now that make everything else easier later.



You can join Ari and Dr. Whitten for the free Healthy Spine Training Thursday at 4:30 PM PT.
 
Hi Jimi,
Dark chocolate has real health benefits.
It delivers flavanols that support heart health, improve blood flow, and reduce inflammation. The research on this is surprisingly strong.
But most chocolate desserts undermine the very benefits the cacao provides.
Here's what typically gets added:
Dairy. Milk proteins may actually bind to the flavanols in chocolate and reduce their absorption. A small study found that drinking milk alongside dark chocolate significantly blunted its antioxidant effects. Eating milk chocolate showed the same pattern. The very ingredient that makes chocolate creamy may be neutralizing its health benefits.
Refined sugar. Most chocolate desserts contain enough sugar to trigger an insulin spike, promote inflammation, and feed the kind of gut bacteria linked to metabolic dysfunction. That's working directly against what the cacao is trying to do for you.
Refined flour. Most chocolate cakes, brownies, and cookies are built on a base that spikes blood sugar, offers almost no fiber, and delivers little nutritional value beyond calories.
The good news is that none of this is necessary. Dark chocolate is rich and satisfying enough to anchor a genuinely delicious dessert without any of these additions.
We put together seven dairy-free chocolate dessert recipes that keep everything worth keeping and leave out everything that isn't.

Yours for chocolate done right,
