Episode 179 - The Truth About Stem Cells, Recovery, and Anti-Aging That Most Men Never Hear About
No pill, surgery, or supplement can do what regenerative stem cells are doing for recovery, inflammation, and aging right now.
I brought on Dr. Joy Kong, one of the most respected experts in stem cell therapy, a triple board-certified anti-aging doctor, and founder of Chara Health, to have this conversation every man over 40 needs to hear. She’s training doctors worldwide and has been named Stem Cell Doctor of the Year.
We talked about what stem cells are, why your body stops healing the way it used to, and what options we now have to regain energy, brain sharpness, libido, and joint strength without drugs or invasive procedures.
This might be the episode that gives you your edge back.
Enjoy the episode.
