As R3 Anti-Aging expands exponentially around the globe, company president Kathleen “Frankie” Francesca discusses the ambassadors who are leading the wellness revolution. R3 Anti-Aging is a pioneering force in the field of stem cell therapies, and it is known for its commitment to improving health and wellness by providing an alternative to invasive surgeries and offering anti-aging treatments. Frankie has led the company through new clinic launches, courses for doctors, and campaigns to improve wellness.
Recently, the company launched its Beverly Hills clinic, and held a photoshoot on the building’s rooftop featuring some of the company’s ambassadors. Each ambassador symbolizes the company’s core values of wellness and anti-aging. They aim to not only provide access and spread awareness for the products, but to also help foster the creation of a community.
“I think I’ve actually chosen ambassadors pretty wisely as far as making sure that their core values and morals align with our bigger picture, as far as wellness goes,” begins Frankie. “Just like R3, they are all trying to encourage people to have a better quality of living.”
Cassandra and Andrew Walker, the founders of cold-pressed juice company Little West, exemplify an active and wellness-focused lifestyle. Their locally sourced California juices are 100% pure fruits and vegetables, and they never use concentrates, added sugars, artificial sweeteners, chemicals, or unhealthy preservatives. They go hiking, do yoga, exercise regularly, and practice a nutritious lifestyle. Jesse Metcalfe, who played the titular role in John Tucker Must Die, is another ambassador who is passionate about health and fitness.
Cancer survivor and certified meditation instructor Cameron Mathison also represents a strong focus on health and mindfulness. The Canadian-American Emmy winner and star of All My Children is an ambassador for a lot of nutritional products. He is also going to start holding meditation classes on the rooftop of the R3 Beverly Hills clinic after remodeling efforts are concluded. Other ambassadors will also hold classes and wellness events on the iconic rooftop. “All of our ambassadors do what they advise other people to do when it comes to diet and nutrition,” continues Frankie. “They practice well-being and it just aligns with our bigger picture. They allow us to get the name out there and spread the word on how much we’re able to change the quality of living. All of our brand ambassadors have had stem cell procedures before.”
As the ambassadors help R3 Stem Cell and R3 Anti-Aging to continue growing, Frankie wanted to take the time to honor some of the global clinics that have opened. The company’s oldest international clinic is in Tijuana and Cancun, Mexico. They also have a location in Pakistan, where they actually own the entire hospital. Frankie, R3 Founder Dr. David Greene, and COO Fredilbert Legaspi have a laboratory within that building. R3 hopes to launch a new location in
Milan by December 2023, and they also plan to open clinics in Bali, Thailand, and Japan in the near future. The latest clinic that has opened is in the Philippines, located in Ayala Alabang. While the building is still under construction, they are open to see patients already. This clinic in particular touches Frankie’s heart deeply as she sees it as a way to honor her Philippine roots and give back to the community.
“I am from the Philippines,” Frankie explains. “And a lot of Filipinos really do not have access to stem cells in the Philippines, and they have to travel internationally for them. I think we are bringing something great to the table and we’re able to offer an affordable option for the Philippine consumer. We cater to a lot of different conditions. So the fact that I’m able to help people from where I came from? It’s a huge personal success for me.”
