The Dr. Joy Kong Podcast

In this episode, I share some of the most transformative healing stories I’ve witnessed in my practice. Cases that conventional medicine had written off as hopeless.From a man who avoided double knee replacement and healed an old shoulder injury, to a woman who reversed her lupus and got off all medications, these are real people who discovered what happens when you support the body’s innate healing power.As a physician who began in psychiatry, I’ve spent years combining scientific rigor with holistic tools to create deeper, more lasting healing.That journey led me to regenerative medicine—specifically stem cell therapy—and the results I’ve seen continue to amaze me.I also explain why so many patients are stuck in cycles of prescriptions and diagnoses that don’t truly heal. You’ll hear what’s possible when we stop compartmentalizing the body and start treating it as the intelligent, interconnected system it is.If you or someone you love has been told “there’s nothing more we can do,” please listen.

I explain why I chose these over older stem cells and the risks of unregulated stem cell treatments you might encounter overseas.You’ll also hear about real patient stories, including how stem cells helped an older man avoid knee surgery and a US veteran reclaim his vitality after severe lung damage.Listen to this episode and learn how stem cell therapy could be the transformative solution you’ve been searching for.

You might think you’ve had stem cell therapy—but did you really?As someone who works with stem cells every day, I hear this all the time: “Oh yeah, I had stem cell treatment.” But when I dig a little deeper, I often find out they had PRP, exosomes, or amniotic fluid injections—none of which actually contain living stem cells.In this episode, I break down exactly what these therapies are, how they work, and why they’re often mistaken for stem cell therapy. I explain what PRP really is, what exosomes do, and the truth about amniotic fluid treatments. These therapies have value, but it’s time to stop calling them something they’re not.I also share important insights into why true stem cell therapy is different and why it matters for your results. There’s a lot of confusion out there, and this episode will give you clarity on what cells are.So if you’ve ever received a so-called “stem cell” treatment, or you’re considering one, this is a conversation you don’t want to miss.🎧 Listen now and learn how to ask the right questions.Key Takeaways:Introduction (00:00)PRP isn’t stem cells—here’s why (00:44)What exosomes do and what they don’t (02:31)Amniotic fluid treatments (04:33)Don’t give up on stem cells, you might not have had them (05:59)Additional Resources: ✨ Learn more about how to live a long and pain-free life: https://joykongmd.com/ ✨ Follow me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stemcelldrjoy/ ✨ Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr_joy_kong/ —Dr. Joy Kong is a regenerative medicine and anti-aging expert.

Greg also known as “The Hydrogen Man,” spent over two decades working in the medical field before a profound near-death experience led him to radically rethink everything he knew about healing. After facing a devastating array of health challenges—including autoimmune disorders, chronic pain, systemic inflammation, heart disease, and a collapsed immune system—Greg found no relief through conventional medicine, biohacking, or even alternative therapies. His turning point came after a deep spiritual awakening, which led him to explore the healing potential of molecular hydrogen. Today, Greg is a leading voice in hydrogen health, having trained with top engineers in Japan and pioneered cutting-edge protocols for healing through ultra-pure hydrogen water and gas.Greg shares how molecular hydrogen transformed his health and the lives of countless others—from dementia patients to those suffering from autoimmune disorders, gut issues, and even heart disease. He dives into the science behind hydrogen as a selective antioxidant, the importance of water purity, and why production method matters more than most people realize. With touching personal stories and deep medical insight, Greg explains how hydrogen therapy could be one of the most overlooked breakthroughs in modern wellness—and why it just might be the missing piece in both physical and emotional healing.For the highest quality hydrogen water machine on the market, please go to:https://shop.holyhydrogen.com/DRJOY and use coupon code DRJOY to get $100 off your purchase.More on Greg:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@UPRISING144K/videos
