Can stem cells reverse genetic diseases? Can they go in and “magically” fix everything?Genetic diseases are complex conditions embedded in our DNA before birth, ranging from mild to severe.

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?

What does it really take to lose weight… AND keep it off? You see, many people will follow crash diets to lose the extra pounds—and they do, for a time. However, as soon as they start drifting from their meal plans (or as life and its ups and downs take over), they find themselves regaining the weight. This usually results in a toxic, hellish cycle fraught with guilt, unhealthy food and lifestyle choices, and even food addiction issues. The secret all these people are missing is simple: to lose weight, you need to have an identity transformation—you need to change the way you see life, food, and most importantly, yourself and your worth.And no one knows this better than my guest on the podcast this week, the brilliant Drew Manning.You might know Drew from his many TV appearances on Good Morning America, The Dr. Oz Show, and The Tonight Show.

Autism numbers have been rising at an alarming rate all over the world. The numbers are even bleaker in the US, where 1 out of every 36 children is diagnosed with autism.These rates are even scarier knowing that Western medicine and psychiatry has no treatment for autism, choosing instead to focus on symptoms instead of the root cause. However, it's not all hopeless! Research has shown that stem cell therapy can actually help with autism treatment; stem cells, particularly from umbilical cord blood, can address multiple underlying mechanisms of autism, including inflammation and oxidative stress. And this is only the beginning, as stem cell research is still in its infancy.Though still in early stages, stem cell therapy can offer hope for people suffering from autism and holds immense potential for treating autism and improving lives, which offers a new path forward beyond the traditional treatments.I discuss all of this in more detail in this week's episode of The Dr. Joy Kong Podcast, so make sure to give it a listen.Well then, what are you waiting for?Tune in now!Key Takeaways:Introduction (00:00)Let's talk about stem cell therapy and autism (04:30)How stem cells can help autism (11:12)What clinical studies show (21:49)Are we making a real difference?
