Episode description as stored

Can stem cell therapy help the body repair itself? Learn how stem cells may influence inflammation, immune function, tissue regeneration, brain health, and aging. Stem cell therapy is one of the most talked-about areas of regenerative medicine, but not all stem cells or treatments are the same. In this episode, Dr. Joy Kong explains how stem cells work, why their source matters, and what patients should investigate before choosing a treatment or clinic. We explore the differences between bone marrow, fat-derived, and umbilical cord-derived stem cells, along with IV infusions, local injections, PRP, and exosomes. Dr. Kong also discusses emerging research and clinical observations involving chronic inflammation, neurological health, joint pain, skin, hair loss, aging, and cancer. Many of the treatments and potential applications discussed remain experimental and are not established treatments for the conditions mentioned. This conversation is for educational purposes and should not replace individualized medical advice.
