World Leader In Regenerative Medicine

Personalized oncology is where medicine is heading.

There’s a physician doing important work in this space — Patrick Sewell — using whole genome sequencing to map a patient’s tumor, identify the specific genetic drivers, and then design a custom, targeted gene-therapy strategy based on that blueprint.

That’s the shift: away from one-size-fits-all protocols, and toward truly individualized treatment — built on the biology of that person’s disease.

This is still an emerging frontier, but the principle is powerful: sequence → understand → tailor the intervention with precision.

We’re excited to welcome Dr. Gustavo Luken to the Eterna team.

Dr. Luken is a highly trained interventional MSK physician with advanced expertise in ultrasound-guided orthobiologic procedures. This matters because precision is everything; real-time ultrasound ensures regenerative treatments are placed exactly where healing is needed, improving accuracy, safety, and outcomes.

We’re proud to have his level of skill and attention to detail caring for our patients.

Muse cells are one of the most fascinating breakthroughs in regenerative medicine because they behave like a smart, living drug.

When Muse cells enter the body, they don’t just “float around.” They sense inflammation and damage, home to injured tissue, and support repair at the cellular level—helping the body replace what’s broken with healthier function. A big part of this is epigenetic regulation: the way genes are expressed and “switched on/off” so the cells can integrate and behave appropriately inside the environment they enter.

It sounds like science fiction until you understand the biology: the cell is intelligent. It knows how to communicate with surrounding tissue, respond to signals, and participate in rebuilding—safely.

At Eterna Health, we were the first clinic to bring Muse cells to the world—and the first to lead this conversation publicly outside of Japan—because patients deserve real solutions, not symptom management.

A patient asked me a great question today: “What can I do for facial aging that I can stay consistent with — without relying on more Botox?”

Here’s the simple framework I use:

Don’t just freeze your skin — feed your skin.
Freezing the muscles repeatedly can weaken them over time, and when you stop, the lower face can look like it “drops” because the underlying support has been deconditioned.

So instead of only blocking movement, the goal is to restore function:
• strengthen the facial support system
• improve circulation
• stimulate collagen production
• help the skin look more supple, resilient, and naturally lifted

When we shift from “paralysis” to regeneration, you’re not chasing temporary changes — you’re building tissue quality over time.

On a podcast recently, I was asked a simple question: What do you do—and why do you do it?

What I do is use the latest medical technologies in regenerative medicine—work that’s ultimately about helping your body do what it was designed to do: repair, recover, and restore. I believe there’s a blueprint for healing, and our job is to figure out which signals, tools, and interventions help the body access that blueprint more efficiently.

The “why” is personal. My mother lived with chronic illness, and I watched what so many families experience: doctor to doctor, medication after medication—yet no true resolution. That pushed me, even during medical school, to go beyond symptom management and start studying functional medicine, integrative medicine, and ultimately systems biology—because the body isn’t a collection of parts. It’s a connected system.

That’s the mission: understand the root drivers, restore function, and give people a real path forward.

Peptides are one of the most exciting frontiers in modern medicine.

If you’ve ever wondered “what even is a peptide?”—think about insulin. It’s essentially a short protein: a chain of amino acids that delivers a very specific message to your body to create a specific outcome.

What’s different now is that we can synthesize hundreds—sometimes thousands—of peptides and design the exact signaling response we want.

That’s why peptides are being explored for so many goals: energy, metabolic health, body composition, skin, hair, recovery—because there are peptides that can target almost every system in the body.

The future of health isn’t just more interventions. It’s smarter ones. Precision signaling. Targeted biology.

Today we treated both chronic pain + biological aging with the same mission:
to give someone their body back.

In 2026, one of the biggest habits I’m doubling down on is something simple—but extremely powerful: gratitude journaling.

It might sound small, but especially in a world filled with constant stimulation, luxury, and “more… more… more,” it’s easy to lose perspective. Gratitude pulls you back to what actually matters.

Because real happiness isn’t built on status or stuff—it’s built on the quality of your relationships. Your family. Your kids. Your friends. The people who ground you.

And ultimately, the most important goal isn’t chasing the next thing… it’s protecting your peace.

Gratitude is one of the fastest ways to create calmness, presence, and perspective—because you can’t change the past, and you can’t control everything ahead of you… but you can choose to be present right now.

That’s the energy I’m carrying into 2026.

Biologically, the difference between a 20-year-old and a 60-year-old often comes down to one thing: how efficiently the body can send and execute internal repair signals.

This is why the discovery of Muse cells is so important for the longevity field.

For years, one of the biggest limitations in regenerative medicine has been the “behavior” problem—getting cells to survive, circulate, and actually respond intelligently to inflammation and tissue damage.

Muse cells are different.

They’re naturally stress-tolerant, meaning they can function in harsh environments where other cells struggle. And they don’t just circulate — they act like a living sensor, detecting inflammation and damage and supporting repair where it matters most.

A lot of people are talking about the vagus nerve right now—and for good reason.

If your vagus nerve isn’t firing properly, your nervous system can’t shift into the relaxation response the way it’s meant to. And when that happens, the body stays stuck in fight-or-flight, inflammation stays elevated, recovery slows down, and trauma can continue to show up physically.

The vagus nerve branches from the brainstem and connects into critical systems like the heart, gut, and immune organs—it’s one of the main gateways into your parasympathetic nervous system, the state where true healing happens.

In clinic, we use targeted procedures like vagus nerve injections, and we also evaluate the opposite side of the nervous system—the sympathetic response—through areas like the stellate ganglion, which can keep people locked in hypervigilance.

What’s powerful about this work is how quickly people can feel a shift. For many patients with severe stress or trauma history, it can be the first time in years their body finally remembers what calm feels like.

One of the most fascinating things about Muse Cells is their ability to home in on areas of dysfunction.

In this clip, Garry Lineham (Co-Founder of The Human Garage) shares his experience immediately after receiving only a Dezawa Muse Cell IV — noticing a sensation right away in an area he’s actively been working on.

What I also love hearing is how often patients mention the environment here. Healing isn’t just the treatment — it’s also the nervous system feeling safe, the energy of the space, and being surrounded by people who genuinely care.

This is what longevity medicine should feel like: precise, supportive, and human.

In Dubai, it’s easy to get distracted by the flash — supercars, watches, luxury everywhere.

But the real question is… what about the luxury of your body?

I was having a conversation recently about how the culture is shifting. More and more people are realizing that instead of buying “one more thing,” the smartest investment is health, energy, and longevity.

Because if you don’t have your quality of life in your 60s, 70s, and 80s… none of the other luxuries matter.

The future isn’t just wealth.
It’s vitality. ⚡️🧬
