304: Stem Cell Therapy And Regenerative Medicine with Dr. Joy Kong

Welcome to another episode of the Dr. Lo Radio Show! I really enjoyed recording this episode, and I think you will enjoy it as well.

Today I am chatting with Dr. Joy Kong and we are talking all about stem cell therapy and regenerative medicine. Dr. Kong is a triple board-certified by American Board of Psychiatry & Neurology, American Board of Addiction Medicine, and American Board Anti-Aging & Regenerative Medicine. After graduating as a valedictorian from San Francisco State University, Dr. Kong completed her medical training at UCLA School of Medicine. As the result of her intense interest in the human brain, she specialized in psychiatry, and worked at a Veterans Affairs hospital and LA county hospital. While working in the hospital ER and in county clinics, she realized the futility of trying to treat someone without examining the person in a holistic manner, which led to her interest in integrative medicine. She became very passionate about regenerative medicine because of the transformative power it brings, and the sound science it is based on. She is keen on keeping up with the latest scientific discoveries and technology, and consulted with many regenerative medicine experts from around the world, and has lectured internationally. Dr. Kong is dedicated to educating other physicians on the principles and implementation of regenerative medicine, so a great many more people can be helped.

We talk about so many great things in this episode. We talk about the hierarchy of stem cells. We talk about stem cell therapy’s immune, angiogenic, anti-microbial, anti-inflammatory, regenerative beneficial effects. And we talk about looking at the body as a complex, interconnected, webbed system.

If you are listening to this episode and you or someone you know is navigating through any of the health issues we discuss, I would be more than happy to support you in the journey! I work with people virtually and in-person in San Diego. Feel free to reach out to me to continue this conversation: @doctor_lo
