Dealing with health issues and chronic pain is difficult—it’s even worse when our usual medical systems don’t have an answer to your problems.If you’ve been struggling with your health and not finding answers (or relief) anywhere, then this is the episode for you.In it, I sit down with the brilliant Valerie Orsoni, a biohacker, health expert, and content creator. Valerie has been biohacking since 1998 (way before the word "biohacking" came into existence), initially to overcome serious health issues such as juvenile arthritis, fragile bones, and liver disease. When Valerie was told by doctors that there was no hope for her, she refused to give up—instead, she turned to biohacking techniques such as supplements, cold therapy, and fasting to heal her body.Today, Valerie is here to share her journey with us. She and I discuss the importance of a healthy diet, how to use peptides for joint and tissue repair, and the impact of fasting and exercise on our health.We’ll also be talking about:Why biohacking requires faith more than anythingThe amazing powers of omega-3 krillHow the FODMAP diet helped Valerie overcome digestive problems… and so much more.Tune in now!Key Takeaways:Introduction (00:00)Valerie’s story (01:22)Biohacking hacks (12:41)Biohacking for emphysema?

Can stem cells reverse genetic diseases? Can they go in and “magically” fix everything?Genetic diseases are complex conditions embedded in our DNA before birth, ranging from mild to severe. Some manifest early in life, while others appear later. But what we all know is that disorders like cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anemia, and Huntington’s disease can have profound impacts on individuals and their families.In this week’s episode, I’ll shed light on this frequently asked question and break down what stem cells can—and cannot—do.We’ll talk about gene therapy, its pros and cons, the connection between mitochondria and chronic illnesses, the potential of stem cell treatments, and the latest advancements in gene therapy.Are you ready to uncover the truth?Tune in now!Key Takeaways:Introduction (00:00)What you need to know about genetic diseases (00:45)Stem cells signal repair, not replace tissues (01:49)Mitochondria and chronic illness connection (06:40)Umbilical cord-derived stem cell treatment (08:01)Managing expectations for stem cell therapy (09:12)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.
