What if healthcare focused not only on treating illness, but also on helping people preserve their health, mobility, and independence?

In my latest podcast conversation, I sat down with Steve Anderson, founder of RENUE and Co-Chief Investment Officer of Longevity Venture Fund I.

Steve’s interest in regenerative medicine is deeply personal. After facing a degenerative condition that temporarily placed him in a wheelchair, his experience with emerging treatments changed the direction of his life and eventually led him to build RENUE Medical Centre.

Our conversation explores:

• Why physical therapy and orthobiologics may be considered before surgery
• The difference between using a patient’s own cells and donor cells
• How regenerative medicine and iPSC research are developing
• The growing focus on healthspan, not simply lifespan
• The cost and accessibility challenges surrounding emerging treatments
• New research involving tissue scaffolds and xenotransplantation

What stayed with me most was our discussion about value.

We often think carefully about what a car, home, or investment is worth. But what is it worth to remain active, independent, and present for the people we love?

This is a thoughtful conversation about where healthcare may be heading, the questions we still need to answer, and why patient outcomes must remain at the center.

Thank you, Steve, for sharing your experience and perspective.
