Episode 048 - NK Cell Exosomes: Nature’s Precision Weapon Against Cancer and Aging

Could your immune system hold the key to fighting cancer and slowing aging? Dr. Jeff Gross, expert in regenerative medicine and cellular therapies, joins host Dr. Scott A. Johnson to discuss how activated NK (Natural Killer) cell-derived exosomes are reshaping the future of medicine. Unlike traditional chemotherapy or radiation, NK cell exosome therapy offers targeted, non-toxic treatment by unleashing the body’s innate ability to recognize and destroy cancer cells. You’ll learn how these powerful biological agents work, why they diminish over time, and how "off-the-shelf" solutions could bring life-extending benefits to more people. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in cancer prevention, immunotherapy, and living longer—stronger.
