Ep. 9: Seth Belisle – B Team Jiu Jitsu Co-Founder & CPI Stem Cell Patient


CPI Stem Cells Podcast Episode 9: In this episode of the CPI podcast, Seth Belisle, co-founder of B-Team Jiu-Jitsu, shares insights into his Jiu-Jitsu career, the success of his team, and his personal experience with stem cell treatment at CPI to recover from a shoulder injury. Seth highlights how CPI’s cutting-edge therapies are helping him heal and continue thriving as both an athlete and a business leader.

A Look into Seth’s BJJ Career

Seth began his Jiu-Jitsu journey in the early 2000s, at a time when the sport was still relatively unknown in the United States. Over the years, he honed his skills, trained with some of the best in the world, and eventually co-founded B-Team Jiu-Jitsu. Along with Craig Jones, Nicky Rod, Nicky Ryan, and Ethan Cremlinson, Seth helped build B-Team into one of the most respected grappling teams globally, known for their high-level training and fun, engaging environment.

For Seth, the success of B-Team goes beyond just competition. “The vibe of the room is the most important thing,” he explains, emphasizing that the team strives to keep training fun while maintaining a focus on elite-level Jiu-Jitsu. This balance between intense training and a positive atmosphere has attracted visitors from all over the world, making B-Team a hub for grapplers looking to improve their skills and experience the unique energy that the team brings.

The Toll of Jiu-Jitsu on the Body

While BJJ is a passion for Seth, like many athletes, years on the mat have taken a toll on his body. His shoulder, in particular, has become a significant source of concern. After an MRI revealed a torn labrum and extensive cartilage damage, Seth was faced with a difficult decision. Traditional medical advice suggested that arthritis had set in and that he might need to stop practicing Jiu-Jitsu altogether—a devastating thought for someone so dedicated to the sport.

Determined to find a solution that would allow him to continue training, Seth turned to stem cell therapy. However, his initial attempts in the U.S. left him disappointed. “I tried stems in the U.S., but they didn’t have the same quality or quantity,” Seth shared. The procedure targeted the wrong area and provided no relief for his shoulder.

Discovering CPI and Stem Cell Therapy

Seth’s search for a better solution led him to CPI, the world leader in regenerative stem cell treatments. CPI offers cutting-edge therapies that are simply not available elsewhere, and Seth was introduced to the clinic through a recommendation from Henry Akins, a fellow Jiu-Jitsu athlete who had experienced success with CPI’s treatments.

At CPI, Seth is set to undergo chondrocyte therapy, a revolutionary treatment involving cartilage cells specifically designed to repair joint damage. This kind of treatment is unique to CPI, making it the only place in the world where athletes can access this advanced therapy. Seth expressed excitement about documenting his recovery, eager to see the impact of these treatments on his ability to continue his Jiu-Jitsu career.

In addition to offering state-of-the-art medical treatments, Seth praised CPI for their seamless patient experience. From being picked up in a luxury van to crossing the border with ease, Seth was impressed by the entire setup. “The food’s been so good,” he mentioned, adding that it was the best hospital food he’d ever had. Sitting and chatting while watching dolphins swim outside the clinic windows, Seth was able to relax and enjoy the process, making it clear that CPI’s commitment to comfort and care is as strong as their medical expertise.

The Power of Regenerative Medicine

Seth’s decision to seek stem cell therapy at CPI is a testament to the growing popularity of regenerative medicine for athletes looking to recover from injuries and extend their careers. Stem cells have the unique ability to regenerate damaged tissues, offering hope for those with joint issues, ligament tears, and other injuries that typically sideline athletes. By targeting the specific areas that need healing—such as Seth’s damaged cartilage—CPI’s treatments can help restore function and reduce pain, allowing athletes to continue performing at a high level.

For athletes like Seth, stem cell therapy offers a chance to continue pursuing their passion without having to accept a life of pain or reduced mobility. “I don’t know what I’d do without Jiu-Jitsu,” Seth shared, expressing the importance of finding a solution that allows him to stay on the mat.

Safety and Comfort at CPI

One concern that many people have when traveling for medical treatments, especially across international borders, is safety. However, Seth quickly dispelled any fears, pointing out that his experience at CPI has been nothing but positive. “I’ve spent 10 years, 25 weeks a year, traveling Latin America, and I’ve never had a problem,” Seth said. He emphasized that the clinic is in a safe, upscale area, far from any of the negative stereotypes often associated with Tijuana.

In fact, Seth joked that he felt safer at CPI than in certain parts of Los Angeles. The clinic’s proximity to San Diego, combined with the professionalism of the staff and the welcoming environment, makes it an easy choice for athletes seeking top-tier medical care in a comfortable and safe setting.

Looking Ahead: Recovery and Future Goals

As Seth embarks on his journey to recovery, he’s optimistic about the results. With CPI’s cutting-edge stem cell treatments, he’s hopeful that his shoulder will heal and allow him to continue pushing his limits in Jiu-Jitsu. He’s excited to share his progress with his followers and document the process of healing through regenerative medicine.

For Seth and other athletes, CPI represents more than just a clinic—it’s a place where dreams of continued athletic performance become a reality. Whether it’s healing a torn labrum, recovering from a back injury, or simply staying in peak physical shape, CPI’s advanced therapies are giving athletes like Seth the tools they need to keep doing what they love.

Conclusion

Seth Belisle’s journey is one of dedication, innovation, and resilience. From building a world-class Jiu-Jitsu team to exploring groundbreaking medical treatments, Seth continues to push boundaries in every aspect of his life. With the help of CPI and their revolutionary stem cell therapies, Seth’s future on the mat looks bright, and his journey is one to watch for anyone interested in the future of sports medicine.
