Chris Hemsworth provides health update after sad diagnosis

Chris Hemsworth has shared a rare health update after revealing earlier this year that his career could be ‘killing’ him.

The Thor star, 41, has teamed up with Dr. Adeel Khan, a world leader in regenerative medicine and stem cell therapy.

‘I really enjoyed meeting Dr. Khan,” Chris wrote on Instagram on Saturday.

‘His work with MUSE cells – an incredible type of regenerative stem cells, is unique.’

Chris looked at the picture of his health as he posed for a photo with the world-famous Canadian doctor, wearing black shorts and a loose tank top outside one of his Eterna clinics.

Dr. Kahn, who posed for a photo arm-in-arm with Chris, has treated royal families, celebrities like Zac Efron and Justin Baldoni, and elite athletes with his advanced stem cell therapy.

Muse cells, found in the bone marrow and connective tissue of almost every organ, have a tremendous ability to function as repair cells for a wide range of tissues and organs.

They can recognize damaged tissue and selectively accumulate at the site of damage by intravenous injection.

‘The fact that Dr. Khan working directly with Professor Mari Dezawa, who pioneered these cells, gave me the confidence that I was in the hands of someone at the forefront of regenerative medicine,” Chris continued in his caption.

In May, it was reported that the beloved actor was filming the Limitless series in 2022, when he discovered he was “between eight and ten times” likely to develop Alzheimer’s than the general population.

Shortly after the news broke, Chris stepped back from Hollywood and reports began to emerge that the Hollywood star was retiring or had already developed the disease.

“The imagined scenario is always worse than reality,” the Australian actor recently told Body + Soul magazine as he returned to work in Los Angeles to film the thriller Crime 101 with Mark Ruffalo.

Chris spent a year recovering from a back injury he suffered while filming Thor: Love and Thunder and coming to terms with his diagnosed genetic predisposition.

At 41, the Thor star said he’s never been more optimistic about his health, or about returning to the set in Los Angeles, where he moved in early October for a short filming stint.

The upcoming film is based on the novella by Don Winslow, which focuses on a detective named Lou Lubesnick who investigates jewelry thefts on the Pacific coast.

Although he has returned to work, fears for his health have set him on a path to seeking out the world’s best health and wellness practitioners to keep him fit.

“Our stem cells are designed with the goal of restoring normal function to damaged tissues and organs by repairing or replacing them with new, fully functional cells and tissues,” reads a description on Dr. Kahn.

His Eterna clinics, one of which Chris posed outside, are located in Mexico, Canada, Lithuania and Dubai.

“I was going from job to job and getting stressed,” Chris said of his life before taking a break from work.

‘I always gave an extra twenty percent of my time. Sometimes it was just overkill, and sometimes it had diminishing returns.”

He realized that if he were to push his mental and physical limits, he would have to give something, and it was better for someone to be one film than his continued well-being.

“Maybe there’s a project I would like, but if I do it, I’ll be home less,” he said.

‘Alternatively, I can see that I’ve been home enough to feel like I’m not going to work and full of guilt that I should be home. And that’s kind of the daily conversation that we all have in our lives, whether you’re in this industry or another industry.”

And so he planned to spend some time with his wife Elsa Pataky and their three children at their sprawling Byron Bay complex – surfing, dirt biking and horse riding.

“I used to have the mentality that if I don’t crawl out of the gym then I haven’t worked hard enough, which isn’t necessary,” Chris said.

‘I’m also listening to my body more, being patient with the process and not just crushing myself in every session.’

Despite having a net worth of more than AU$220 million, Chris admitted he still felt unresolved ‘stress’ as a result of his difficult upbringing, which involved acting to pay off his parents’ debts.

After blood work was done for the program, he is one of only two to three percent of people with two copies of the APOE4 gene.

Chris lives in a $30 million mansion with his wife Elsa and daughter India Rose, 12, and twin sons, Sasha and Tristan, 10.
