In this episode of the Peak Performance Podcast, Coach Kyle and Dr. K dive into alternative and lesser-known uses for stem cell therapy beyond the common joint and IV injections. From reversing tinnitus to helping with cognitive decline and even improving certain vision conditions — they cover how regenerative medicine is unlocking new possibilities.
Dr. K breaks down how targeted stem cell injections near the ears, nose, and eyes can support healing in ways traditional medicine can’t. If you’ve ever been curious about what stem cells can really do for your brain, hearing, or vision — this episode gives you the inside scoop.
Key Takeaways:
- Ear Injections for Tinnitus & Hearing Loss: Especially effective for noise-induced damage; approximately 60–70% success rate.
- Nasal Injections for Brain Health: Targets the olfactory nerve and delivers stem cells directly to inflamed or damaged areas of the brain.
- Conditions It May Support: Post-stroke, traumatic brain injury (TBI), Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and general cognitive decline.
- Eye Injections for Vision Support: Shown to improve scarring, glaucoma, and macular degeneration (in some cases up to 90% satisfaction rate).
- Not All Stem Cells Are Equal: Dr. K prefers whole MSCs (mesenchymal stem cells) over exosomes for these uses.
- Caution on Unsafe Practices: Avoid direct eye injections unless done by trained ophthalmologists — risks are high and outcomes unpredictable.
