Fix Your Body, Skip the Surgery: Regenerative Medicine is the Future w/CHARM
Tony and Brent sit down with the team from Austin’s Center for Healing and Regenerative Medicine (CHARM) — Dr. David Harris, Dr. Kyle Allen, and Director of Ops/Biz Dev Carrie Kass — to break down how regenerative medicine is reshaping the future of injury recovery, chronic pain treatment, and aging. With over 35,000 spine procedures and 125,000+ regenerative injections under his belt, Dr. Harris explains why surgery is often outdated, how your body can heal itself, and what PRP and stem cells actually do. Whether you’re an athlete, a weekend warrior, or just trying to keep up with your kids (or grandkids), this one’s packed with info that could change the way you think about your health. Key Topics Covered What is Regenerative Medicine, Really?:The CHARM team breaks down how your body can heal itself using tools like PRP (platelet-rich plasma), stem cells, and platelet lysate; no surgery, no implants, just your own biology doing the work. PRP vs. Stem Cells: What’s the Difference?:Learn when PRP is enough, when stem cells come into play, and how CHARM customizes treatment based on severity; not a one-size-fits-all approach. Why Surgery Isn’t Always the Answer:The docs explain how many joint and spine surgeries are outdated, risky, and often unnecessary. You’ll hear about cases where patients reversed chronic pain and avoided surgery entirely. The Future of Healing:We’re talking healing discs from the inside out, strengthening ligaments, even experimental treatments to improve fertility. This isn’t fringe, it’s where medicine is heading. Real Stories, Real Recovery:From a woman in a wheelchair walking down the aisle to athletes getting back on the field, CHARM shares transformative success stories that show what’s actually possible.
