Speaker: Linda Monty, the Wellness Director at Limitless Health Wellness spoke to us about Regenerative Medicine and how stem cells can repair the body. Her office in Chicago offers a procedure that takes about three hours. The first step is a mini liposuction of the patients Adipose fat cells. Then you wait about 90 minutes while they spin and prepare your own body cells before they put them back in via an IV drip and injections to the specific body part where you need the concentrated stem cells. Some cells also go into a ‘cell bank’ where they can be grown for future procedures. The procedure is not covered by insurance but is available for around $17,000.
