At Eterna Health, we are honored to support individuals who push the limits of their performance and wellbeing. Among them is actor Zac Efron, whose dedication to physical transformation for his roles has made him one of Hollywood’s most disciplined performers. During preparation for A24’s The Iron Claw, Zac endured an intense training regimen to portray wrestling icon Kevin Von Erich. The physical demands were extraordinary, and like many elite performers, he experienced chronic pain and structural strain that persisted despite months of physiotherapy.
His search for a deeper, regenerative solution led him to CEO & Founder, Adeel Khan and our team at Eterna Health.
“I fully commit to my roles, which I love, but it takes a toll. My back was messed up after The Iron Claw, even after months of PT,” Zac shared.
Already familiar with the science behind stem cell therapy, Zac approached the treatment with curiosity and caution.
“Curious about stem cell therapy, I reached out to Dr. Khan at Eterna Health who answered all my questions and made me feel confident.”
Working closely with Zac, our team designed a targeted regenerative protocol tailored to his injuries, his training history, and his long term performance goals. Stem cell therapy is a natural fit for this type of recovery. These cells have the innate ability to reduce inflammation, repair damaged tissue, and restore balance to areas under chronic mechanical stress, making them especially valuable for athletes and performers exposed to repetitive strain.
Six Months Later: A Significant Recovery
Zac has now shared publicly how the treatment has supported his return to peak function.
“Now, six months post treatment, I’m back in the gym and already seeing improvements.”
This type of sustained progress is consistent with what we observe in clients who undergo properly guided regenerative therapy. The goal is not only to reduce pain, but to support structural healing, long term resilience, and cellular repair.
Zac also expressed enthusiasm for staying engaged with the science as he continues his recovery and longevity journey.
“Excited to explore the latest longevity technologies through the Eterna Membership Program. I’ll keep you updated on my progress.”
Why Zac’s Story Matters
Zac’s experience reflects a broader truth about regenerative medicine: modern performers and athletes are increasingly looking beyond symptom management and seeking treatments that address the root biology of injury.
His journey highlights several key principles that guide our work at Eterna:
- Regenerative medicine complements, not replaces, physical therapy
- Stem cells support tissue repair where mechanical strain creates chronic dysfunction
- Long term athletic performance depends on cellular resilience, not just strength training
- Education and transparency are essential for client confidence, something Zac emphasized in his own decision making
CEO and Founder, Adeel Khan commented on the partnership:
“Zac approached treatment with the same professionalism he brings to his roles. Our job was to guide him through the science, ensure he felt supported, and help his body recover in a way that strengthens him for the future.”
Looking Ahead
From world class athletes to internationally recognized performers, our mission at Eterna remains the same: restore function, protect long term health, and help clients operate at their highest potential through scientifically grounded regenerative care.
We are grateful for Zac’s trust in our team and proud to support him as he continues exploring Eterna’s advanced longevity and recovery programs.
