Miami, Florida(Hexa PR Wire–January 14, 2026)–Dr. Eric Weiss joins The Michael Peres Podcast to discuss his transition from plastic and reconstructive surgery into regenerative medicine and stem cell–based therapies. He describes how his family’s experience raising his son, Marston, informed his focus on inflammation and neurodevelopment, and how that path led to founding the North Florida Stem Cell Clinic. The conversation examines research and clinical concepts around glial cell inflammation, brain health, and neurodegeneration, and how chronic inflammation may connect to both autism-related symptoms and aging. Dr. Weiss discusses differences between umbilical cord stem cells and adult stem cell sources such as bone marrow or fat, and explains how medical ethics, off-label use, and regulatory timelines influence what treatment options are available in the United States. He also outlines how lifestyle and metabolic factors, including fasting, exercise, mitochondrial function, and NAD and NMN, fit into his broader view of inflammation and recovery, and where he believes stem cell approaches may play a role in symptom management and healing.
