Global Alliance for Regenerative Medicine

What Global Alliance for Regenerative Medicine does

Global Alliance for Regenerative Medicine (GARM Clinic) is a privately held, founder-led regenerative medicine operator founded in 2014 by Dr. Glenn C. Terry, a US board-certified orthopedic surgeon formerly of the Hughston Clinic and US Olympic Team physician. GARM delivers autologous and donor-derived stem cell therapies, gene therapies (Follistatin and VEGF plasmids), exosome therapy, PRP, advanced IV drips, and proprietary protocols (DiscShield, Brain RESET, Biological Reset, Klotho via lipid nanoparticle) through two clinical sites: the flagship in Parrot Tree, Roatán, Honduras — operating within the Próspera autonomous special economic zone — and a second facility opened in 2024 on Paradise Island, Bahamas, under the Bahamas' Longevity and Regenerative Therapies Act. Both jurisdictions permit regenerative and gene therapies not yet approved by the US FDA, which is the structural basis of GARM's market position.

The company runs a direct-to-consumer medical-tourism model targeting affluent international patients (primarily from the US, Canada, and Europe) seeking non-surgical orthopedic care, chronic disease interventions (arthritis, autoimmune conditions, COPD, type 2 diabetes), elite-athlete recovery, and longevity optimization. Patients receive individually customized, physician-led protocols priced per treatment on a fee-for-service basis, with concierge support for travel, lodging, and telemedicine follow-up; a subscription-based Longevity Program is also offered. Revenue streams include treatment fees, CRO-style clinical trial hosting (notably Klothea Bio's Phase 1b AKL003 alpha-Klotho mRNA trial), partner-product distribution (Nymox's Nymozarfex), and resort-based IV/aesthetic services delivered through a Kimpton Grand Roatan spa partnership.

GARM markets through high-leverage channels — a Netflix documentary feature, Joe Rogan podcast exposure, Kevin Harrington (original Shark Tank) partnership, Departures Magazine coverage, and XPRIZE Healthspan semifinalist status for the Brain RESET Protocol. The clinic has 1–10 employees, no disclosed outside funding, and is bootstrapped under founder and CEO Heather Terry's executive leadership. Recent strategic activity (2024–2026) — Bahamas launch, Klotho residency program, clinical trial hosting, new drug distribution, and resort partnership — indicates a transition from a single-clinic concierge practice toward a multi-jurisdiction regenerative-medicine platform with CRO and recurring-revenue components.

Core offering

GARM Clinic operates a regenerative medicine medical tourism platform delivering stem cell therapies (autologous, allogeneic, cultured, and MUSE-derived), gene therapies (Follistatin and VEGF plasmid), exosome therapies, PRP, and longevity protocols to affluent international patients. Treatments are physician-led, customized per patient after comprehensive diagnostics, and delivered at facilities in Roatán, Honduras and Paradise Island, Bahamas under regulatory frameworks that allow therapies not yet FDA-approved in the US.

Product overview

GARM Clinic operates as a multi-service regenerative medicine platform offering a comprehensive portfolio of cellular, gene, and biologic therapies organized around four core pillars: Stem Cell Therapy (autologous, allogeneic, cultured, and MUSE-derived), Gene Therapy (Follistatin and VEGF plasmid), Advanced IV Therapies (longevity, restorative, and performance drips), and Longevity Medicine (Brain RESET Protocol, Biological Reset Protocol, Klotho therapy). The platform also includes specialized programs for Orthopedic/Athlete Care, Regenerative Aesthetics, Wellness Optimization, and specific treatments for HSV, diabetes, COPD, erectile dysfunction, and prostate conditions. The flagship location is on Roatán Island, Honduras, with a newer facility on Paradise Island, Bahamas, both operating under a physician-led, personalized protocol model where treatments are customized per patient after comprehensive diagnostics. GARM serves medical tourists seeking alternatives to conventional medicine and surgery.
