"Within every stem cell lies the power of renewal; in our hands, the potential to transform lives." — Michael Hodge
Michael Hodge’s journey began in Houston, Texas, where his early work at Beverly Manor Sanitarium, caring for mentally ill patients, sparked a deep desire to make a difference. Later, counseling terminally ill patients in hospice, he saw firsthand the fragile line between life and death, and his resolve to heal, rather than simply comfort, grew stronger.
His discovery of stem cell therapies became a turning point. In these cutting-edge treatments, he saw the potential to transform medicine. In 2016, he founded the Cellular Advisory Group to expand access to these life-changing therapies. But his path wasn’t without hardship. His first venture, Cellular Therapeutics of America, which aimed to provide affordable stem cell treatments nationwide, collapsed due to lack of funding. The failure was devastating, but Michael refused to give up.
Driven by the patients who desperately needed new options, he rebuilt his efforts, educating doctors across the country and helping integrate stem cell therapies into their practices. His work expanded treatment accessibility by 70%, offering hope to those who had nowhere else to turn. From joint treatments to degenerative diseases, the therapies Michael promoted gave patients their lives back.
Today, Michael’s work touches millions. His journey, shaped by resilience and compassion, proves that healing isn’t just about medicine—it’s about commitment to a cause bigger than oneself. Through every setback, he remained steadfast, and his dedication continues to bring hope and healing to patients everywhere.
