Episode 15: Cells, Not Doctors, Heal Patients

Regenerative Medicine, Light Therapy

Listen to one of the long time pioneers in the field of regenerative medicine, Joe Purita MD opine on how the field has transformed over the years and discuss the latest advancements in his clinic.

RegenaCast Episode with Dr. Joseph Purita – Pioneering Regenerative Medicine and Light Therapy

In this episode of RegenaCast, Sean welcomes Dr. Joseph Purita, affectionately called “Professor Purita,” a renowned orthopedic surgeon and regenerative medicine pioneer. With an extensive background in orthopedics, Dr. Purita transitioned into regenerative medicine, combining his surgical expertise with cutting-edge therapies using PRP, stem cells, and now light therapy. Known for delving deeply into the science behind cellular healing, Dr. Purita shares insights into how cells, not doctors, truly heal patients, emphasizing the role of molecular biology in advancing modern medicine.

Dr. Purita explains how his curiosity about PRP led him to explore the potential of stem cells from fat and bone marrow, ultimately progressing into photobiomodulation—using light wavelengths to improve cellular health, particularly mitochondrial function. He explains how red light can increase ATP production in the body, blue light can help stem cell differentiation, and how green light can act as an immune modulator. Dr. Purita’s exploration into light therapy has led to impressive results in clinical settings, as well as the development of his PureLight device for photoactivating biologics.

In addition to light therapy, Dr. Purita has created a regenerative medicine haven at his clinic, offering cutting-edge treatments like EBO2 therapy, intermittent hypoxia, and cryotherapy, among others. His vision for the future of medicine involves a shift towards preventative care, which will extend healthspan and potentially reduce the impact of neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.
