The Dr. Joy Kong Podcast

What if the secret to slowing aging was available to you all this time and you just didn’t know? Instead of going for expensive treatments and spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on niche therapies, you could simply… eat better and exercise more!Someone who’s done just this is my guest this week on The Dr. Joy Kong Podcast, the amazing Dave Pascoe.Dave is a biohacker, researcher, and experimenter who ranked among the top participants in the Rejuvenation Olympics.  He was able to overcome his biological heritage and bad nutrition from childhood to slow down to the pace of his aging. Today, Dave is one of the slowest aging people on earth, beating millionaire Bryan Johnson, who spends over $2 million a year on biohacking—Dave is able to achieve the same results for only $15K a year.In this episode, Dave and I will be discussing how biological age testing can be misleading, why you don’t need an expensive regimen to age slower, and why biohacking techniques are not one-size-fits-all. We’ll also be talking about:How participants are ranked in the Rejuvenation OlympicsWhy avoiding processed food is a must if you want to slow down agingThe best way to use supplements to achieve your health goalsWhy holistic recovery is a big part of Dave’s regimen… and so much more.Are you ready to learn ALL his secrets?Then tune in now.Key Takeaways:Introduction (00:00)Meet Dave (02:36)How to age slower (10:00)Dave’s diet and exercise regimen (27:49)Why exercise alone isn’t enough (31:53)Do you need supplements?

Are we missing the key to longevity and anti-aging medicine?As I’ve discussed in many episodes of the podcast, Western medicine focuses mostly on treating symptoms—instead of treating the underlying disease. But holistic medicine helps us answer more important questions, such as “Why do these diseases occur?” and “How do we prevent them?” which can help us answer the biggest question: How do we live not just longer but healthier lives?This is exactly what I discuss in this week’s special episode, where I am interviewed by the amazing Carol Covino of the Forever Fit Podcast. Together, Carol and I will be discussing why Western medicine is not always the answer (and why it’s so drug-focused), the misconceptions around stem cell therapy and similar treatments, what truly causes aging, and why regenerative medicine is such an exciting field.She and I will also be talking about:The benefits of stem cell treatments for people with autoimmune diseasesThe best delivery methods for stem cell therapyThe influence of Big Pharma on conventional medicineWhy I made the transition from psychiatry to regenerative medicine… and so much more.Want to learn how to optimize your health at the cellular level?Then tune in now!Key Takeaways:Introduction (00:00)Why I chose regenerative medicine (00:56)Perceptions about stem cell therapy (12:33)What happens to our stem cells as we age (19:37)Stem cell therapy for autoimmune conditions (29:15)Stem cell treatment delivery methods (34:54)Stem cell therapy for fertility (41:15)What about brain function?

What if you could slow down aging, or even reverse it?This is the one thing all of us anti-aging doctors aim for: the reversal of aging, not just physically, but mentally as well.My guest on the podcast this week, the brilliant Dr. Bill Lawrence, is living proof that we can reprogram aging at the cellular level. At 78 years old, his cellular age is just 23 based on telomere analysis. How is that even possible? Well, he has spent years researching peptide bioregulators, a Russian breakthrough in longevity science that restores DNA repair, regenerates organs, and slows aging—and it’s working!In this week’s episode of The Dr. Joy Kong Podcast, we discuss his research in more detail. He and I also talk about how peptides can reduce mortality, the real causes of aging, how stress can impact your longevity, and so much more.If you’re ready to live a longer and healthier life, then don’t miss this episode!Tune in now. Key Takeaways:Introduction (00:00)Meet Dr. Lawrence (02:52)Peptides’ anti-aging qualities (16:07)Telomere and epigenetic studies (37:45)Clinical study results (39:41)How peptides regenerate organs (52:30)The future of longevity research (01:14:43)Changing the expectations around aging (01:26:32)Why is conventional medicine not keeping up?

What does it really take to lose weight… AND keep it off? You see, many people will follow crash diets to lose the extra pounds—and they do, for a time. However, as soon as they start drifting from their meal plans (or as life and its ups and downs take over), they find themselves regaining the weight. This usually results in a toxic, hellish cycle fraught with guilt, unhealthy food and lifestyle choices, and even food addiction issues. The secret all these people are missing is simple: to lose weight, you need to have an identity transformation—you need to change the way you see life, food, and most importantly, yourself and your worth.And no one knows this better than my guest on the podcast this week, the brilliant Drew Manning.You might know Drew from his many TV appearances on Good Morning America, The Dr. Oz Show, and The Tonight Show.

Imagine if there was a molecule so powerful it could control blood flow, brain function, and even how fast you age.Well, I’ve got some news for you: This molecule does in fact exist, and it’s called nitric oxide.Nitric oxide is an essential element of the complex equation that results in a healthy body, and yet, so many of us are unknowingly deficient of it.Without it, our odds are pretty bleak—chronic diseases like Alzheimer’s, heart disease, and diabetes are much more difficult (if not impossible) to prevent. But it’s not all doom and gloom. In fact, here is the good news: you CAN restore your nitric oxide. How?This is exactly the question I aim to answer in this episode of The Dr. Joy Kong Podcast, and to do so, I invited an expert, the amazing Dr. Nathan Bryan.Dr. Nathan is a renowned nitric oxide researcher, biochemist, and author. He has published over a hundred scientific papers, holds numerous patents, and has over two decades of experience in nitric oxide research.In this episode, he’ll be sharing with us the basics on nitric oxide, why you might be deficient in this important molecule, how to supplement nitric oxide properly, and so much more.Are you ready to take your health into your own hands?Then tune in now!Key Takeaways:Introduction (00:00)Meet Dr. Nathan (00:58)Why nitric oxide?
