The Dr. Joy Kong Podcast #174 - Your Body Can Still Heal: Stem Cells, Longevity Films, and the Science of Aging Better
What if the therapy your doctor never mentioned is the one that finally moved the needle?
Laurent Goldstein had tried everything. High-dose vitamin C. Hyperbaric oxygen. Cryotherapy. IV therapy. And yet his chronic lymphocytic leukemia markers refused to budge for four years.
Then he came to Dr. Joy Kong's clinic for stem cell treatment. One week later, his white blood cell and lymphocyte counts had dropped to nearly half — the lowest since his diagnosis.
In this episode, I sit down with Laurent Goldstein, award-winning filmmaker behind Listen to the Lion — a documentary exploring the frontier of healthspan and longevity. Laurent shares the personal health breakthrough that changed his view on stem cell therapy, why Western medicine falls short on chronic disease, and what it really means to stack therapies for maximum effect.
We also explore the philosophy behind his films: why he believes most people have a lion inside them they've been taught to suppress — and how awakening that drive may be just as powerful as any protocol.
