Chris Bumstead is pulling out all the stops to ensure he leaves Las Vegas, Nevada with a sixth Classic Physique Olympia title. In a recent Instagram post, Bumstead underwent a longevity-inspired stem cell treatment to decrease inflammation and slow aging in the body.
“Chris Bumstead is back again this time for a longevity treatment,” says Dr. Khan.
Despite suffering from an autoimmune disease, Chris Bumstead has reached remarkable heights as an IFBB Pro bodybuilder. Since 2018, he has reigned over the Classic Physique division, having acquired five consecutive victories at the Olympia show.
To compete at the highest level, Bumstead has taken significant measures to preserve his health, including stem cell therapy for kidney regeneration. Now, with his sights set on another prestigious title, he walked his fans through his latest experience with Dr. Khan.
“Mainly, I have an autoimmune disease and stem cells are really good at decreasing inflammation and really good for the immune system and keeping that at bay.
So, when I saw Dr. Khan last year, it was the healthiest I’ve ever been afterward. I just want to keep up with all that, make sure I’m staying ahead of everything. Also, as a bodybuilder, I put my body through a lot of stress with a lot of inflammation, a lot of joint pain, a lot of this and a lot of that.”

Chris Bumstead Undergoes Longevity Stem Cell Treatment During 2024 Bodybuilding Season
According to Bumstead, he switched to regenerative medicines like stem cells after prescription drugs were unable to fix his health problems. With fewer risks associated with the treatment, Bumstead felt more confident in proceeding in this direction.
“I turned to regenerative medicine, biohacking the more natural side of things anything other than the traditional medicine a while ago when I was in Canada, I was given a few prescription drugs that were kind of like a bandaid not helping any of my issues.
After a wide variety of more natural ways and after finding Dr. Khan and learning about stem cells, I realize that there’s a lot more benefits I can get from that with seemingly less risk as well,” shared Chris Bumstead.
Dr. Khan explained that the procedure would help Bumstead during his prep but highlighted how beneficial it would be for him in retirement.
“Not only for prep but just for general longevity, meaning after he retires from bodybuilding, which he inevitably will, he wants to continue living a healthy strong life and this is one of the best ways to do it, intravenous stem cells and exosomes, are engineered now to enhance our ability to survive.”
Specifically, Dr. Khan revealed that Bumstead received follistatin gene therapy to decrease inflammation and slow down aging in the body.
“We’re also using follistatin gene therapy which can inhibit myostatin, but more importantly decrease inflammation and slow down aging in the body.”
Bumstead hasn’t been the only top-tier bodybuilder to experiment with stem cell treatments. After losing his title at the 2022 Mr. Olympia, Mamdouh ‘Big Ramy’ Elssbiay underwent a stem cell procedure to regenerate nerve damage that has negatively impacted his physique.
As the most hunted man in the Classic Physique division, time will tell if the operation will aid Bumstead in his quest to earn his sixth Olympia title later this year when the show celebrates its 60th anniversary in Las Vegas, Nevada.
