It was a simple operation on his tongue that changed the
course of Antonio Cosío Pando's business. The CEO of
Mexico City–based hospitality chain Grupo Brisas was
convalescing when his wife suggested an unusual twist in
his recuperation. She'd encountered it via the clinics run
by startup Neorgana. "We gave him exosomes," says
Neorgana founder and CEO Omar Novelo. "And when he
went to his doctor, he asked, What did you do? You've
recovered 50 percent faster than you should have." That
highly personal proof of concept was the foundation of
a new partnership between Novelo's firm and the flagship
property of Grupo Brisas, Nizuc Resort and Spa, on the
Riviera Maya. It will launch a suite of wellness services by
year's end with a brand-new de facto longevity clinic
powered by the transformative potential of treatments
Cosío Pando knows firsthand.
