Description: EPISODE 86 | Your Body Already Knows How to Heal. Here's the Science Behind It. | Dr. Joy Kong What if your body already knows how to heal, and medicine has just been getting in the way? In this fascinating episode of Wisdom Stripes, Meg Tuohey sits down with Dr. Joy Kong, a UCLA-trained, triple board-certified physician in psychiatry, addiction medicine, and anti-aging and regenerative medicine. Dr. Kong is the president of Chara Health in Los Angeles, founder of the American Academy of Integrative Cell Therapy, and a 73rd-generation descendant of Confucius. She has dedicated her career to one question: what would medicine look like if we actually tried to heal people? This conversation moves from stem cells and mesenchymal therapy to peptides, ozone, ketamine, and the mental health system Dr. Kong herself was caught inside, maxed out on Prozac in medical school, now off all antidepressants for years. 🎧 Tune in and learn: What stem cell therapy actually is, and why your body already has the tools to regenerate Why autoimmune conditions, long COVID, and chronic illness respond so well to this approach The 9/11 responder who was told he was dying, and what happened after three sessions What peptides actually do and why over 30 are now used in Dr. Kong's clinic How ketamine therapy helps the brain rewire trauma, explained in plain language Your body is a gift. This episode is an invitation to start treating it like one. 💚 💡 Featured Resources: 🧬 Chara Health: charahealth.com 📖 Tiger of Beijing, Dr. Kong's memoir 📚 HeartPrint by Meg Tuohey Order now at yourheartprint.com Learn more about your ad choices.
