On this episode of the Ageless and Timeless Podcast®, host Michele Hughes sits down with Dominika Laureto for an inspiring and deeply informative conversation about modern wellness, regenerative medicine, aesthetics, and the future of personalized healthcare.

From immigrating to the United States from Poland without speaking English to becoming a highly respected trauma nurse specialist and successful wellness entrepreneur, Dominika’s story is a true example of resilience, integrity, and the American dream.

Dominika shares her journey through emergency medicine, explaining how years spent working in high-pressure ER environments exposed the limitations of conventional symptom-based healthcare. Frustrated by a system focused on managing disease rather than preventing it, she sought a more proactive and comprehensive approach to wellness. This path led her into aesthetic medicine, functional medicine, regenerative therapies, and ultimately to creating a thriving practice that blends internal health optimization with external rejuvenation.

Topics discussed include:
Root-cause medicine
Comprehensive blood work
Hormone optimization
Inflammation management
Peptides and regenerative therapies
GLP-1 medications for weight management and longevity
Body recomposition versus simple weight loss
Muscle preservation and resistance training
Personalized treatment protocols
The discussion also explores aesthetic treatments and technologies including:
Microneedling

Sculptra
Collagen stimulation
Skin laxity treatments
Peptide therapies such as GHK-CU and BPC-157

The impact of internal inflammation on aesthetic outcomes Dominika also discusses her upcoming book, Awaken, which focuses on functional wellness, aesthetics, and foundational health optimization strategies.

On this episode of Ageless and Timeless Podcast®, host Michele Hughes sits down with Ed Clay, a former professional MMA fighter turned healthcare innovator whose personal journey led to the creation of one of the most advanced regenerative medicine and translational healthcare organizations in the world. As the founder of TAM Global, CPI Stem Cells, and the TAM Center in Tijuana, Mexico, Ed shares how his mother’s battle with rheumatoid arthritis became the catalyst for a mission that now spans cancer research, stem cell therapies, diagnostics, AI-driven medicine, and personalized patient care.

Ed opens up about the grit, discipline, and resilience he developed through martial arts and how those lessons prepared him to build a groundbreaking medical ecosystem from the ground up. He discusses the early years of moving to Tijuana without speaking the language, living inside the hospital during its launch phase, and spending years fully immersed in creating a patient-centered model focused on innovation, compassion, and real outcomes. He also explains the vision behind TAM Global’s vertically integrated structure, which combines laboratories, imaging, diagnostics, AI, cellular manufacturing, and clinical application under one umbrella to dramatically accelerate medical discovery and treatment development.

Throughout the conversation, Ed and Michele explore the science behind regenerative medicine, including mesenchymal stem cells, hypoxic cell growth, exosomes, immune signaling, peptide therapies, and advanced cancer diagnostics. Ed explains how TAM’s protocols differ from many traditional approaches and why their focus on quality, viability, and personalized treatment plans has led to remarkable patient outcomes. He also shares insights into TAM’s cancer immunotherapy programs, neoantigen peptide vaccines, dendritic cell therapies, and their long-term goal of creating a next-generation cancer center in the United States.

Michele also reflects on her own firsthand experience at the TAM/CPI Center, where she underwent a five-day regenerative therapy program that included stem cell treatments, NAD+ therapy, PEMF therapy, ozone therapy, and comprehensive diagnostics. Together, they discuss the emotional and physical healing process patients experience, the importance of mindset in recovery, and why Ed believes love, compassion, and emotional healing are essential components of medicine.
