  • Capitola-What are Stem Cells? | Rejuvenate Medi-Spa

    What Are Stem Cells? Stem cells are cells with the potential to develop into many different types of cells in the body. They serve as a repair system for the body. There are two main types of stem cells: embryonic stem cells and adult stem cells. We only use Adult Stem Cells (ASC) because of ethical reasons as well as easy availability from healthy newborn baby umbilical cords. ASCs are undifferentiated cells found living within specific differentiated tissues in our bodies that can renew themselves or generate new cells that can replenish dead or damaged tissue. You may also see the term “somatic stem cell” used to refer to adult stem cells. Stem cells are different from other cells in the body in three ways: They can divide and renew themselves over a long time; They are unspecialized, so they cannot do specific functions in the body; They have the potential to become specialized cells, such as muscle cells, blood cells, and brain cells. Stem cells are the foundation cells for every organ and tissue in our bodies. The highly specialized cells that make up these tissues originally came from an initial pool of stem cells formed shortly after fertilization. Throughout our lives, we continue to rely on stem cells to replace injured tissues and cells that are lost every day, such as those in our skin, hair, blood, and the lining of our gut. Our joints and tendons lose access to our stem cells as we get older and development ends in puberty. That is why we have difficulty healing injuries in our knees and shoulders, for example Where do they Come From? Mesenchymal stem cells can reduce inflammation, instigate our body to repair damaged tissues and sometimes replace damaged or lost tissues. Mesenchymal stem cells are taken from the placentas of healthy newborn babies who, along with their parents, have been tested and cleared for infectious diseases and genetic abnormalities. Because they are biologically younger, they don’t react with your own tissue and are more robust in their response to injuries Advantages of umbilical cord tissue: ​ Supplement and replace damaged or inadequate connective tissue and cells utilizing regenerative molecules. Modulates and reduces the inflammation of the injured area with anti-inflammatory cytokines. Incorporates with the damaged tissue at the site of injury without rejection due to immunosuppressive properties. Provides a complete range of natural cellular scaffolding and growth factors to promote the regenerative process. Does not require invasive procedures like bone marrow aspiration, or adipose tissue extraction, resulting in shorter procedure time and faster recovery with less pain These stem cells are much younger than those found in your body, and therefore they have more capacity to repair damage and are less susceptible to degenerative disease. Rejuvenate Uses Vitti Labs as a source of Stem Cells and Exosomes Vitti labs is FDA certified and approved for its acquisition and use of it's products including WJ Pure, Dr Jay's source of Stem Cells for joint injections. They can even be given intravenously (IV) for system illnesses. Dr Jay chose Vitti labs because of their focus on safety and purity of product. Here is a PDF that has a list of all the infectious diseases that they check for. In addition, all of the donors are screened for genetic issues. Here is a link to all of the studies that they are participating in!

  • Capitola-Regenerative Therapy | Rejuvenate Medi-Spa

    Regenerative Therapies Stem Cells & Exosomes Regenerative therapy is healing non-functioning cells in a process of replacing and renewing human cells and tissues for the purpose of restoring your optimal body function. This may include the use of stem cells in a medically appropriate and individualized manner or Exosomes. Both of these amazing therapies contain all of the instructions and tools your body needs to start to heal itself including cellular scaffolds, growth factors, cytokines and specialty molecules to help recover, rebuild and renew. Cytokines are signals that tell the stem cells and growth factors what to do and what to become. Growth factors include collagen, a key building block for joints and connective tissues, amino acids to help build proteins, and other growth factors that stimulate tissue development Are you tired of hearing... “You’ve got bone on bone, there’s nothing that can be done.” “Surgery is your only option from here.” “We just don’t know what else to do for you.” “There’s a new medication that might help.” “Knee replacements work really well, why not just get it done? “We can inject steroids for inflammation” ​​ What Can Stem Cells Be Used For? ​ When injected into the site of an injury, mesenchymal stem cells have the amazing ability to reduce inflammation, induce our body’s own stem cells to repair damaged tissue and in some cases actually turn into the tissues that have been damaged or lost. Stem cell therapy can be used to treat... Muscle, ligament and tendon injuries Arthritis of the knee, hip and shoulders Back pain, degenerative disc disease Rotator cuff issues, golfers and tennis elbow Medical conditions such as COPD, asthma, tremors and MS Advantages of Stem Cell Therapies: ​ Supplement and replace damaged or inadequate connective tissue and cells utilizing regenerative molecules. Modulates and reduces the inflammation of the injured area with anti-inflammatory cytokines. Incorporates with the damaged tissue at the site of injury without rejection due to immunosuppressive properties. Provides a complete range of natural cellular scaffolding and growth factors to promote the regenerative process. Does not require invasive procedures like bone marrow aspiration, or adipose tissue extraction, resulting in shorter procedure time and faster recovery with less pain. These stem cells are much younger than those found in your body, and therefore they have more capacity to repair damage and are less susceptible to degenerative disease. Advantages of Exosome Therapies: Exosomes are regarded as the purest form of cellular signaling available because their function is to direct tissue and wound healing by activating cell responses. This is the newest generation of naturally bioactive products for regenerative therapies. Exosomes induce changes in nearby cells that create the appropriate healing environment and aid in tissue repair. As the technology and discovery of new methods of treating patients has evolved, scientific evidence shows that the optimal way to provide true regenerative therapy is to directly provide the signals as its own therapy and avoid potential issues with delivering and keeping transplanted cells alive. The 1,000+ regulatory proteins, RNAs and other biomolecules found to naturally occur in ExoFlo have been shown preclinically to help modulate inflammatory healing processes. This is accomplished by activating and recruiting local cells to revascularize the area and reduce the inflammatory response to allow natural healing. Potential Treatments Using Exosome Therapy: Exosomes may help regulate processes within the body. Patients with Covid-19 or Long Covid, chronic inflammation, autoimmune disease and other chronic degenerative diseases may benefit from including exosomes in their treatment regimen. Exosomes may also be beneficial as part of an anti-aging therapy. Patient with degenerative joint disease have also benefitted from the use of exosomes. Lyme Disease is a very complex disease, caused by the Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria, which compromises the immune system. Tick-borne disease can also come with multiple co-infections. A combination of factors causes the onset of illness as immune system functions become disrupted leading to diminishing cellular health, immune function, metabolic function and dramatically increasing inflammation. Many Lyme patients often have dysfunction of the mast cells, increasing their inflammatory response. Inflammation is a central player in most neurodegenerative diseases as well. Incorporating exosomes into a multi modality treatment regimen may help break the inflammatory cycle and provide the body with necessary cellular information to facilitate healing.

  • Testosterone Replacement Therapy | Rejuvenate Medi-Spa Capitola, CA 95010

    Testosterone Replacement Testosterone is the primary male sex hormone secreted by the testicles and adrenal glands. Testosterone is responsible for male sexual development and is critical in maintaining erectile function, libido, normal energy levels and mood and building muscles and burning fat. It is responsible for supporting immune function, bone density and skin tone. As men get older, testosterone levels decline from their peak at around 30 years old. Total testosterone drops as we age, but more importantly the bio-active form, free T, drops dramatically with age. In addition to age, increased estrogen levels and insulin resistance in men can also cause a drop in free testosterone levels. Body fat is a source of aromatase that converts testosterone to estrogen in men, so being overweight increases the likelihood of low T. ​ Andropause is the male equivalent of female menopause and is the result of diminished levels of T in the body along with a relative increase in estrogen. Symptoms present slowly, and decreased levels of testosterone can lead to physical changes including the following: increased body fat, decreased strength/mass of muscles fragile bones and decreased body hair swelling/tenderness in the breast tissue with hot flashes lower energy levels, insomnia and other changes in your sleep patterns. feelings of sadness or depression, trouble with memory and concentration and lowered motivation and self-confidence Want to know if you may benefit from treatment? Follow this link to fill out a questionnaire that Dr Jay will review and then contact you with your result and options. ​ ​ ​ ​ Testosterone deficiency also has negative health consequences as it is a necessary hormone for our overall health and longevity. Common conditions associated with low T are: heart disease and hypertension elevated cholesterol and LDL cognitive decline and Alzheimer’s disease prostate cancer ​ What you can do about low T ​ We will start our focus on stress reduction as elevated cortisol (the stress hormone) can limit testosterone production and increase hormone binding, so it is not available. Getting the proper amount of sleep can also help boost testosterone levels and help with weight loss. Nutrition is paramount and we can help guide you to healthier food choices so that you are not blocking your testosterone or creating inflammation that lowers its potency. Finally, we will come up with an exercise plan that will help you boost muscle mass and reduce adipose (fat) that is converting your T into estrogen! In addition, we offer supplements to help your body produce more T, and supplements that can protect your prostate and convert less T into estrogen. ​ Testosterone Replacement Therapy ​ Testosterone replacement is easy, and Dr. Jay is highly trained in offering you treatment options. Each client has his replacement therapy targeted to their particular needs and desires. Dr Jay offers prescriptions for creams and shots so that after a discussion, you can choose the method that works best for you! Low T Questionnaire

  • Safe Menopause Therapy | Rejuvenate Medi-Spa & Wellness Capitola, CA 95010

    Safe Menopause Management Menopause is like taxes - unavoidable, but there is no reason to suffer ​ Menopause is the descriptive term used as women age and their ovaries start producing less of the female hormones estrogen and progesterone. This starts at an average age of 45, but is variable based on genetics, environment and your overall health. Perimenopause is the beginning of the reduced production and can last from 12 months up to five years in most women. Symptoms will slowly resolve as you enter the post-menopausal phase, but the lack of hormones going forward can cause many issues. What does menopause feel like? These are some of the very common symptoms: ​ Irregular periods Hot flushes and night sweats Vaginal dryness, loss of libido and tender breasts Bloating, weight gain and digestive issues Mood swings, depression, irritability and headaches Burning tongue, gum issues Difficulty with sleep, concentration, memory and fatigue Changes in skin, nails, muscle soreness Why is important to address these falling hormone levels? Estrogen is critical to the function of the heart and blood vessels, brain health and bone maintenance. In addition, progesterone is protective against breast, uterine and ovarian cancer and testosterone is needed for muscle, heart and brain health. It is important for us to address all of these hormones in a safe and effective way to avoid: ​ Osteoporosis and fractures Alzheimer’s and other dementias and cognitive decline Heart disease and heart failure Strokes Is Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) safe? Yes! There has been some controversy regarding HRT in the past with conflicting studies. The Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) was a large study over many years, and showed an increase in cardiac events and cancers, but the WHI study had women start HRT 10 years after menopause and used synthetic progesterone and horse estrogen, not bio-identical hormones. More recent studies using bio-identical hormones in women closer to menopause showed no such increase in heart attacks and in fact had a reduction in Alzheimer’s disease, heart disease and cancers. What is Bio-Identical HRT? Unlike the synthetic or equine hormones noted above, bio-identical hormones are structurally identical to our own hormones, so they bind to the receptors as intended and are metabolized in our body into non-toxic substances. Thus, we get the effect that we want for our overall health and well-being, without the dreaded side effects. There are commercially available patches, pills and creams as well as compounded creams and gels that can be tailored specifically to the clients needs. Depending on your labs and symptoms, Dr Jay can prescribe you the perfect combination of Progesterone, Estrogen and Testosterone to reclaim your youth and vigor. Estrogen Balance Checker
