#146 - Follistatin Gene Therapy Results You Won’t Believe | Minicircle’s Jay Spall

Gene therapy is no longer reserved for rare diseases or billionaire tech founders. In this episode, I sit down with Jay Spall, senior executive at MiniCircle, to discuss how gene therapy has entered a new era—one where optimizing your health, building muscle, and extending your lifespan can be done safely, affordably, and effectively.

Jay shares how MiniCircle's first breakthrough product, Follistatin, uses plasmid-based delivery to boost muscle growth, reduce fat, and improve metabolic health—all from a single injection. 

We break down what gene therapy really is, how it compares to CRISPR, how long the effects last, and what to expect in terms of results and safety. Plus, Jay offers a look into the company’s future therapies and his powerful personal journey from chronic illness to radical transformation.

We cover the science, the stories, and the surprising benefits you might not expect.
