In this condensed 1-hour lesson, Aging Starts From the Cell, Dr. Seeds introduces the foundational concept that aging and disease originate at the cellular level. He explains how cellular signaling, metabolic efficiency, and redox balance influence inflammation, senescence, and overall cellular function. In a concise overview, Dr. Seeds highlights the roles of growth hormone, IGF-1, and endogenous signaling pathways in maintaining cellular intelligence and adaptability. You will gain an introductory understanding of how disruptions in cellular communication contribute to aging and chronic disease, setting the stage for later discussions on regenerative and cellular medicine interventions.
William Seeds, MD
Before establishing the SSRP Institute, Dr. Seeds served as a board-certified orthopedic surgeon and sports medicine specialist for nearly three decades, including Chief of Surgery, Orthopedic Residency Site Director, and Director of The Ohio Bone & Joint Institute for University Hospitals.
His significant contributions to sports medicine have been recognized at the NFL Hall of Fame. He has consulted for athletes across all major sports leagues, including the NFL, NHL, MLB, NBA, and even the performers on “Dancing with the Stars.”
Through his research at the SSRP Institute, Dr. Seeds continues to explore the cellular pathways and mechanisms that positively impact disease and dysfunction in the body as well as optimize physical performance.
