Episode #178: Pioneering Chronic Disease Treatment with Dr. Adeel Khan
Ever wonder what the future of health looks like?
In this episode of the Biohacking Superhuman Podcast, Dr. Adeel Khan unravels the secrets of regenerative medicine and takes us on a fascinating journey through the complexities of treating chronic diseases. He breaks down the barriers of conventional medicine, focusing on preventative approaches and treating root causes. We explore gene therapy's potential for chronic disease treatment and how copper peptides can be harnessed to restore cellular dysfunction. We'll also discover the advancements in mini circle technology, a game-changer in gene therapy that could disrupt the pharmaceutical industry.
Finally, we venture into the realm of stem cells, their regenerative, anti-inflammatory, anti-fibrotic, and immunomodulatory functions, and how they can be applied to different medical conditions. You'll hear about the promise of gene edited stem cells and how they're paving the way for more effective treatments. As a bonus, we discuss the science behind meditation and its role in health and longevity. So tune in, this is a conversation you won't want to miss!
Dr. Adeel Khan completed his MD from the University of Ottawa in Canada. After training in sports medicine, he specialized in regenerative medicine, conducting one of the first Health Canada approved clinical trials with mesenchymal stromal cells. He is known internationally for treating many high-profile celebrities and athletes. Driven by his passion to improve health, he co-founded Xalt and is the Chief Scientific Officer of Science & Humans. He is also the Chief Medical Officer for Minicircle – the worlds first reversible gene therapy.

Key takeaways:
Copper peptide can target over a thousand genes, improve lean body mass, increase bone density, reduce brain fog, and provide more energy in the morning. Copper peptide gene therapy also has the potential to restore declining levels of peptides in the body and can be used topically for wrinkles.
FMT capsules, or 'poop pills', have the potential to help millions of people around the world. Traditionally, FMT technology was only used to repopulate the gut after an infection, but it can now be used to help with aging and longevity, as well as many chronic conditions such as Parkinson's.
There are four functions of stem cells: regenerative, anti-inflammatory, anti-fibrotic, and immunomodulatory.
