In the 2012 film The Bourne Legacy, Agent Aaron Cross ingests special compounds referred to as "chems" to help maintain his mental and physical enhancements. Today, Dr. Vincent Giampapa, Co-Founder of The Regenerative Medicine Institute (RMI) in San José, Costa Rica, says, "We actually have the exact same technology available."
As a Board Certified Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon, Dr. Giampapa joined forces with Plastic and Microsurgeon Dr. Victor Urzola in 2018 to help people optimize their mental and physical well-being with stem cell therapy.
Research suggests that stem cell therapies can be used in treating a wide range of musculoskeletal, pulmonary, neurology, cardiology, and rheumatology conditions. It helps by replacing damaged cells or releasing substances that stimulate the body's repair mechanisms.
A turning point for those looking to take their overall health more seriously, The Regenerative Medicine Institute provides advanced cellular therapies for healthy aging, longevity, orthopedics, sexual wellness, and disease prevention and treatment through proprietary programs that are renowned worldwide.
Built on the belief that aging is linked to the development of disease, The Regenerative Medicine Institute was not just created for people to feel better physically, where they can get up and walk without discomfort or have more energy throughout the day, but also enhance one's cognition, muscle mass, and general well-being so that they can live longer happier, healthier lives.
"There's nothing more important than having more quality time to spend doing the things you love with the people you love, and there's no price for that," says Dr. Giampapa.
One of the most powerful aspects of The Regenerative Medicine Institute is the way patients have experienced life-changing transformations. Author, entrepreneur, and "Father of Biohacking," Dave Asprey, underwent stem cell therapy at the clinic.
"He is like a different person," shares Dr. Giampapa. "His cognitive abilities have improved and the level of stress in his life is dramatically less."
So far, the team at RMI has treated over 1,200 patients well, with "not only excellent results in their treatments but also very positive experiences overall," shares Dr. Urzola. Composed of a team that speaks over six languages and with doctors who have trained all over the world, The Regenerative Medicine Institute is an international hub for cutting-edge treatments.
For the doctors, a big part of RMI's patients' success can be attributed to their passionate team of physicians, who operate at the crossover between traditional and regenerative medicine.
"When I first started at RMI, the team was just four people, and now we've grown to more than 60 staff members," says Chief of Staff Tatiana Berger. "It's really cool to be a part of something that is changing people's lives for the better."
Physicians at The Regenerative Medicine Institute are experienced in different fields, including internal medicine, immunology, anesthesia, orthopedics, neurosurgery, urology, functional medicine, basic endocrinology, and rheumatology.
Most of them have been in their fields for over 15 years, but Dr. Urzola highlights that the institute also has a younger group of doctors who are "very smart, very energetic, and are helping push the company forward."
"Two of our physicians on the research team were just selected to do a fellowship at Harvard, which says a lot about the quality of our physicians, as being super forward-thinking people that are making a big effort to bring this technology to everyone in the world," he continues.
Vastly different from stem cell clinics in the United States and other parts of the world, Dr. Giampapa and Dr. Urzola have put a lot of thought into RMI's treatment programs, bringing together all of the factors that are proven to impact how cells function positively. As a result, The Regenerative Medicine Institute in Costa Rica is the only institute that addresses the cellular aging process and develops solutions to treat accelerated aging at our cells' root cause.
"Victor and I are extremely passionate about this industry and are excited about what the future will bring. We want to continue to have RMI as a leader in this field," says Dr. Giampapa.
"We are very dedicated to improving our patient's quality of life and their strength. This is a big commitment both of us have," adds Dr. Urzola.
Acknowledging that RMI operates in a blue zone, the CEO of RMI, Dr. Federico Ugalde, adds, "When you understand that the relationships you have with your family and friends are what makes you live longer, then you have a purpose. That's what we bring to you at RMI, the chance to keep those relationships for as long as possible."
Built entirely by scientists with extensive knowledge and experience in cell manufacturing and processing, the RMI lab is where the science of longevity begins.
