Forrest also highlights the lifestyle changes he made to enhance the effectiveness of the treatments and his excitement about trying new innovations like chondrocyte therapy.
In the latest episode of the CPI Stem Cells Podcast, UFC Hall of Famer Forrest Griffin shared his journey of recovery and health transformation through cutting-edge stem cell treatments. Forrest opened up about his initial visit to CPI, the improvements he experienced, and the surprising lifestyle changes he made after learning about his overall health through CPI’s comprehensive testing.
Forrest Griffin’s First Visit to CPI
Forrest’s first visit to CPI was an eye-opener. While he initially came for stem cell treatment for injuries sustained during his UFC career, his full health assessment revealed that his liver health wasn’t in great shape. “Turns out I wasn’t in great health. I quit drinking and changed my diet because I wanted the stem cells to work,” he shared during the podcast. What started as an athletic recovery journey turned into a broader lifestyle transformation, and it made all the difference in the effectiveness of his treatment.
CPI conducts full blood panels for every patient, often discovering underlying health issues that patients are unaware of. These detailed blood tests are performed to the same standards as those for their cancer patients. It’s not uncommon for CPI to identify health problems that can then be addressed early, preventing future complications and improving overall well-being.
Stem Cell Therapy: A Long-Term Commitment
Forrest had several treatments at CPI, focusing primarily on his shoulders and knees, which had taken a beating from years of fighting. His story is a testament to the power of patience in the stem cell healing process. CPI tracks patients at 90 days and one year to gather data on tissue growth and recovery. Forrest noticed that while there was significant tissue growth after the initial 90 days, he saw even more improvement after a year—a pattern CPI sees with many of their patients.
“For the most part, nothing works for everybody, but we were getting really good results for people,” the host shared, emphasizing how CPI’s innovative approach has shown promising results over extended periods.
Forrest’s experience illustrates that stem cell treatment isn’t a quick fix but a long-term investment in healing and recovery. CPI encourages patients to give their bodies time to rest and recover properly before gradually returning to physical activity, especially for athletes who are used to pushing their limits.
Next Steps: Chondrocyte Treatment
During this return visit to CPI, Forrest was particularly excited to try a new treatment: chondrocytes, or cartilage cells, which were not available during his first round of treatment. “I’m excited to see how these cartilage cells work for you,” the host told Forrest, underscoring CPI’s commitment to evolving and offering the latest medical advancements to their patients.
The Benefits of CPI’s Testing and Technology
One of the highlights of the podcast was Forrest’s surprise at the quality of medical testing and imaging available at CPI. “I took the MRIs back to the Sports Medicine team in Vegas, and they were impressed by the quality,” he said. It’s a common misconception that treatments in TJ (Tijuana, where CPI is located) might be of lower quality, but CPI’s equipment and testing are state-of-the-art. They utilize AI for precise MRI readings and have access to some of the best genetic testing technology available.
Forrest’s journey through stem cell therapy at CPI is a prime example of how advanced medical treatments and a focus on whole-body health can lead to long-term recovery. His experience serves as inspiration for athletes and anyone dealing with injuries to explore innovative options like stem cell treatment, especially when paired with lifestyle changes and a patient approach to healing.
Closing Thoughts
Forrest Griffin’s return to CPI for stem cell treatment reflects the ongoing success of his healing journey. Whether it’s recovering from decades of intense physical competition or simply maintaining his health post-UFC career, Forrest is a strong advocate for the comprehensive care and cutting-edge treatments offered at CPI.
His message is clear: recovery takes time, and it’s essential to trust the process. With CPI’s innovative treatments, rigorous testing, and focus on long-term health, more and more patients are experiencing life-changing results—just like Forrest.
