On today's episode of The Business Game, we're sitting down with Timmi Stump, Chief Commercial Officer of Vesalius Longevity Labs, a company building the infrastructure for longevity and regenerative medicine from the ground up, pharmacy channels, a provider ordering platform, an elite clinic in Miami, and a telemedicine platform on the way.

Timmi spent 25 years in pharmaceuticals before jumping into integrative medicine six years ago. She's worked across CBD, lab services, pharmacy, and pharmaceutical manufacturing and she's bringing all of it together to build a company in a category that's moving faster than its own infrastructure.

Now Vesalius is going public, and Timmi is building a platform that takes longevity medicine from a gray market for elites to a compliant, accessible system for everyday people.

Let's dive in,
with Timmi Stump:

Why longevity medicine isn't about living to 150
What peptides actually are and how they work in your body
Why younger entrepreneurs should start optimizing now, not later
Building Vesalius from zero: no team, no playbook, no industry norms
Knowing what "bad" looks like and why that's the best competitive edge
The first 90 days: listening, sequencing, and finding the path of least resistance
The biggest mistake: supply chain, and what it cost the company
"Failure is not an option"  the cost of not taking the leap
The pivot: from gray market to pharmacy model in two weeks
Running two commercial models (elite clinic + telemedicine) under one brand
Luxury funds the first version: how early adopters pay for mass-market access
Women in midlife: the most overlooked customer in longevity medicine
What peptides she actually takes (and the stacking protocols that work)
Tech integration: systems crashing, bringing everything in-house, and doing it right
"You only get one chance" why rushing to market costs more than waiting
Hiring philosophy: "your vibe has to vibe with my tribe"
What keeps her up at night as the company goes public
The future of longevity medicine in the next 10–15 years
The one message for a 45-year-old burned-out business owner
