About
For more than four decades, Dr. William A. Seeds has dedicated his career to advancing medical science through clinical practice, research, physician education, and innovation. A board-certified Orthopaedic Surgeon in General and Sports Medicine, he served as Chief of Surgery at University Hospitals Conneaut Medical Center, Site Director of the University Orthopaedic Residency Program at University Hospitals, and Director of The Ohio Bone & Joint Institute.
After founding and chairing the International Peptide Society (IPS), he established the Seeds Scientific Research & Performance (SSRP) Institute, where he designs and delivers physician certification programs and develops comprehensive educational curricula, setting the standards and criteria for the emerging field of Cellular Medicine and directing numerous scientific conferences. In the fall of 2026, Dr. Seeds will launch the first cellular medicine graduate course at Northeast Ohio Medical University.
In addition to serving as Founder and Medical Director of the Redox Medical Group in Beverly Hills, CA, Dr. Seeds is an active researcher in peptide therapy and cellular medicine, publishing widely in peer-reviewed journals. He is also the bestselling author of Peptide Protocols (2020), The Redox Promise (2024), and The Quantum Power of GLP-1 Peptides (2025), and launched the popular podcast The Redox Promise in 2025. He has consulted for professional athletes across all major sports leagues, including the NFL, NHL, MLB, NBA, and for Dancing with the Stars. His significant contributions to sports medicine have been recognized at the NFL Hall of Fame.
