From Being Beaten as a Child to Becoming the Stem Cell Queen | #191

At six years old, I was beaten for refusing to say I was wrong. I did not know it then, but that moment would shape almost everything that came after, including the woman who would eventually found Chara Health.I am a triple board-certified physician, founder of Chara Health, and an expert in stem cell therapy, regenerative medicine, and anti-aging treatment. This episode marks the first time I share my personal history on my own podcast: childhood abuse in China, a decade practicing psychiatry before shifting to anti-aging medicine, the ego collapse I experienced in medical school, and my decision to leave China in the early 1990s with no money, no connections, and a rejected visa. I also describe my mother's multiple myeloma diagnosis at age 43, a prognosis of only a few years, and a 32-year remission she achieved through Chinese medicine and daily aerobics after leaving chemotherapy. The episode closes with my reflection on what I believe humanity most needs to heal from.This is a more personal side of my story than I usually share here, including how I found faith after growing up an atheist in Communist China, and the identity I had to let go of in order to become who I am today.If any part of my story helps you see your own a little differently, then sharing it was worth it.I talk about:00:00 The Beating That Built Me05:00 Why My Success Felt Empty08:00 Med School Shattered My Ego11:00 Discovering My True Purpose13:00 I Said There's No God18:00 My Memoir, Tiger Of Beijing23:00 Mom Called Me Social Garbage27:00 I Married The Process30:00 My Mother Survived Cancer Naturally32:00 What We Need Healing FromAdditional ResourcesVisit My Clinic: Chara Health🌐 https://chara-health.com 📍 9568 Topanga Canyon Blvd. Los Angeles, CA 91311📲 Call (818) 356-8232 or email [email protected] to make an appointment or go to https://www.joykongmd.com and fill out a contact form.✨ Listen to The Space Between, hosted by Sean McClellan: https://open.spotify.com/show/1F74r3TpbqrFfOQxYUMkXf✨ Learn more about Sean's coaching: https://seanmcclellan.com/✨ Learn more about our training academy for medical professionals: https://aaict.org ✨ Learn more about how to live a long and pain-free life: https://joykongmd.com/ ✨ Follow me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stemcelldrjoy/ ✨ Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr_joy_kong/ About Dr. Joy KongDr. Joy Kong is a regenerative medicine and anti-aging expert.
