#121 - The Hidden Science Behind Regeneration and Healing | Dr. Joy Kong & Carol Covino

Are we missing the key to longevity and anti-aging medicine?As I’ve discussed in many episodes of the podcast, Western medicine focuses mostly on treating symptoms—instead of treating the underlying disease. But holistic medicine helps us answer more important questions, such as “Why do these diseases occur?” and “How do we prevent them?” which can help us answer the biggest question: How do we live not just longer but healthier lives?This is exactly what I discuss in this week’s special episode, where I am interviewed by the amazing Carol Covino of the Forever Fit Podcast. Together, Carol and I will be discussing why Western medicine is not always the answer (and why it’s so drug-focused), the misconceptions around stem cell therapy and similar treatments, what truly causes aging, and why regenerative medicine is such an exciting field.She and I will also be talking about:The benefits of stem cell treatments for people with autoimmune diseasesThe best delivery methods for stem cell therapyThe influence of Big Pharma on conventional medicineWhy I made the transition from psychiatry to regenerative medicine… and so much more.Want to learn how to optimize your health at the cellular level?Then tune in now!Key Takeaways:Introduction (00:00)Why I chose regenerative medicine (00:56)Perceptions about stem cell therapy (12:33)What happens to our stem cells as we age (19:37)Stem cell therapy for autoimmune conditions (29:15)Stem cell treatment delivery methods (34:54)Stem cell therapy for fertility (41:15)What about brain function?
