Breakthrough Avocado Molecule Naturally Increases Stem Cells, Regenerates Stem Cells Shocks Science
The results shocked scientists — a natural molecule found in avocados helped the body naturally increase and regenerate human stem cells. In fact, it outperformed the gold-standard compound used in stem cell therapy. This episode dives deep into the stunning discovery… and what it means for your skin, joints, brain, and full-body repair. We’re talking about mesenchymal stem cells — your master repair cells — and how this one food-based compound can help your body make more of them.
In a groundbreaking episode of Back to Health Today, clinical microscopist and regenerative health advocate Michelle Hamel unveils a surprising discovery that has stunned the scientific community: a natural molecule found in avocados, Avocatin B, has been shown to significantly increase and regenerate human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) — the body’s “master repair cells.” This compound not only activates existing stem cells but helps the body generate new ones, outperforming even the pharmaceutical gold standard in stem cell therapy, TGF Beta 1.
Mesenchymal stem cells are essential for repairing tissues across the body — from cartilage and skin to muscle, fascia, and even the brain and vascular system. The regenerative potential of Avocatin B opens up new frontiers in natural stem cell therapy, anti-aging, and whole-body rejuvenation — and it all starts with a fruit you can find in your kitchen.
Backed by a 2020 study published in the Journal of Cellular Physiology, this avocado-derived compound triggered superior stem cell activity, promoting cartilage growth and mitochondrial restoration. It even helps protect telomeres, reduce oxidative stress, and stimulate AMPK, a key metabolic pathway for energy production and cellular repair.
In this episode, Hamel also shares how to stack avocados with other regenerative tools, including:
- Red and near-infrared (NIR) light therapy — to stimulate stem cell proliferation and mitochondrial health.
- Methylene blue — a mitochondrial enhancer shown to delay stem cell aging and increase cellular energy.
- Additional natural compounds like aloe, MSM, and Triphala for enhanced stem cell support and neurogenesis.
Hamel’s personal passion for regenerative nutrition shines through, as she shares her experience growing 18 avocado trees and eating two avocados a day as part of her own longevity protocol. Her approach emphasizes daily, natural biohacks over expensive and invasive therapies — placing the power of cellular repair directly in the hands of everyday people.
Key Takeaways:
- Avocatin B from avocados naturally increases mesenchymal stem cell production — critical for healing joints, skin, muscle, and more.
- It outperforms traditional pharmaceutical stem cell triggers in lab studies.
- The compound also protects DNA, boosts mitochondria, and reduces oxidative stress, contributing to slower aging at the cellular level.
- Combined with therapies like red/NIR light and methylene blue, avocados can be part of a powerful regenerative health stack.
- Avocados are not just a healthy fat — they are emerging as a true food-based regenerative therapy.
