Transcript
- 0:01Speaker 1: Hello friends, I'm your host, Chris Throw.
- 0:04Speaker 2: I'm a former Rawmeries commando.
- 0:06Speaker 1: I've adventured for better and sometimes worse, across eighty countries
- 0:12Speaker 1: on all seven confidents.
- 0:14Speaker 2: Welcome to the Port the t Shirt Podcast. Dr Kong.
- 0:26Speaker 2: How are you.
- 0:27Speaker 3: I'm doing great? Thank you so much, Chris. Great to
- 0:29Speaker 3: see you.
- 0:30Speaker 1: Yes, thank you. What time is it are you in La?
- 0:32Speaker 3: Yes? Is seven fifty five am.
- 0:35Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Yes, thank you for joining us. Wow.
- 0:42Speaker 1: What a fascinating history. So, Joey, have you read Wild
- 0:48Speaker 1: Swans I ju Jun Chang I believe wrote it.
- 0:55Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I think, you know, I think I did.
- 0:58Speaker 3: That was a long time ago. Yeah, I did.
- 1:01Speaker 1: It was the same for me, but it had quite
- 1:03Speaker 1: a profound effect on me years ago.
- 1:06Speaker 2: It was friends at home.
- 1:07Speaker 1: It's three generations of women under chairman now, and you know,
- 1:13Speaker 1: it was that cultural revolution. It's quite an eye opener.
- 1:19Speaker 3: Well I called the tail end of it. I you know,
- 1:22Speaker 3: I'm sure I impacted my life, but I was born
- 1:27Speaker 3: in the middle of that country revolution, so my first
- 1:31Speaker 3: five years that's when that was going on. So I
- 1:35Speaker 3: wouldn't say, you know, I experienced it as someone that's
- 1:38Speaker 3: more cautious about the social environment. But yeah, China has
- 1:43Speaker 3: gone through a you know, seismic change since then, for sure.
- 1:48Speaker 2: Absolutely.
- 1:49Speaker 1: Well, they always said let sleep in China live for
- 1:52Speaker 1: when she awakes, the whole world will know. Yes, So,
- 1:57Speaker 1: friends at home, I'm just going to read off my
- 2:00Speaker 1: screen here because I want to get this right.
- 2:02Speaker 2: DOTR.
- 2:02Speaker 1: Kong is a UCLA trained Triple Board certified physician specializing
- 2:08Speaker 1: in stem cell therapy, peptide therapy, and integrative medicine. A
- 2:16Speaker 1: published researcher, and a podcast host, and has been recognized
- 2:21Speaker 1: as top Doctor of the Year in stem cell Therapy,
- 2:25Speaker 1: stem Cell Doctor of the Decade, and her podcast won
- 2:29Speaker 1: Best Physician Public Education Podcast.
- 2:32Speaker 2: This year.
- 2:34Speaker 1: A memoir, Tiger of Beijing, was named twenty twenty Book
- 2:38Speaker 1: of the Year. Congratulations, Dr Kong and quite a journey.
- 2:43Speaker 3: Thank you, Chris. Yeah, it certainly has been.
- 2:47Speaker 1: So how did you come to be in China and
- 2:51Speaker 1: now you're in La, Well.
- 2:53Speaker 3: Part of that journey was documented in this memoir because
- 2:57Speaker 3: that was quite a dramatic beginning because in my book
- 3:01Speaker 3: it started with my visa rejection. So there's a whole
- 3:04Speaker 3: lot of story before the visa, but the book started
- 3:08Speaker 3: with the rejection. So it took well, it took me
- 3:14Speaker 3: eight months after the rejection to actually land in San Francisco.
- 3:18Speaker 3: And that's a really really interesting story. But once in
- 3:25Speaker 3: San Francisco, I encountered another obstacle in life and having
- 3:32Speaker 3: to overcome that and be free as a person. That
- 3:38Speaker 3: that was the second part of the book. And then
- 3:41Speaker 3: from there I decided to study biology because I was
- 3:46Speaker 3: fascinated with the human life or life is self, the
- 3:51Speaker 3: mystery and how everything works. And then from there I
- 3:55Speaker 3: decided to become a doctor. At first, I thought I
- 3:59Speaker 3: wanted to be a professor. My parents are teachers and
- 4:02Speaker 3: my dad's professor. I grew up on the university campus,
- 4:06Speaker 3: and that's really what what I wanted to do, just
- 4:09Speaker 3: to be in the learning environment and uh uh, to
- 4:13Speaker 3: be teaching and learning. But what I realized was that
- 4:17Speaker 3: medicine engages so many parts of my brain that creates
- 4:22Speaker 3: this incredible satisfaction where I connect with humans and I
- 4:28Speaker 3: use science and I use technology, you know, the different
- 4:33Speaker 3: devices and tools which can either detect condition problems or
- 4:40Speaker 3: treat certain conditions. And then and then I have to
- 4:44Speaker 3: understand right, the human psychology, the sociology. It really brings
- 4:50Speaker 3: together different parts of our world. So to me, that
- 4:56Speaker 3: was the ultimate you know, alchemy, where I can bring
- 5:00Speaker 3: everything together. So I actually loved the brain, which was
- 5:07Speaker 3: why initially I went into psychiatry because I wanted to
- 5:13Speaker 3: kind of crack the last frontier of medicine. I was
- 5:19Speaker 3: having a good time because I loved mental health and
- 5:23Speaker 3: even operations in mental health. That was fascinating. But what
- 5:28Speaker 3: I saw was a lack of kind of a more
- 5:35Speaker 3: wiser or a more mature way of looking at the
- 5:39Speaker 3: body because people are going in way too granular. All
- 5:44Speaker 3: of a sudden, all of we can think about as
- 5:46Speaker 3: receptors and you know, different molecules interacting with each other
- 5:53Speaker 3: on an very granular level, forgetting that entire body is
- 5:58Speaker 3: interacting with each other. Higher system are cross talking. But
- 6:04Speaker 3: modern medicine is not quite taking into that into account.
- 6:08Speaker 3: It got so down to the basics that it lost
- 6:13Speaker 3: a forest, and to me that was a form of
- 6:21Speaker 3: immaturity when you have lost a big picture. Coming from China,
- 6:27Speaker 3: we didn't have the language for the granular stuff because
- 6:30Speaker 3: we didn't have the instrument, and we just you know,
- 6:33Speaker 3: throughout history we didn't get to that point. But modern
- 6:37Speaker 3: medicine is giving you language for such intricate details, which
- 6:42Speaker 3: can be very powerful, but then it doesn't utilize the
- 6:47Speaker 3: system approach and traditional forms of medicine. That's all they do.
- 6:52Speaker 3: Chinese medicine, the Indian you know, Aya, Vida, et cetera,
- 6:57Speaker 3: are focusing on the bigger picture and how different organs
- 7:01Speaker 3: may be interacting with each other, how different herbs are
- 7:04Speaker 3: interacting with a body. So and each herb can have
- 7:08Speaker 3: thousands of compounds, So how is that creating an effect
- 7:12Speaker 3: when you have all these organs and thousands of compounds
- 7:15Speaker 3: are trying to talk to each other. So it became
- 7:19Speaker 3: becomes very complex, and that is overwhelming for modern medicine
- 7:25Speaker 3: because how do you deal with this complexity? So it
- 7:28Speaker 3: would rather just ignore the complexity and go straight into
- 7:34Speaker 3: the very basic details. And so my intuition is always
- 7:42Speaker 3: to combine the two. I mean not just me. You know,
- 7:45Speaker 3: there are a lot of people that have been talking
- 7:46Speaker 3: about East West integration for a long time. But I
- 7:50Speaker 3: saw the need and I know how well Chinese medicine work.
- 7:54Speaker 3: You know, I spent my first twenty years in China.
- 7:56Speaker 3: My mom's life was saved by Chinese medicine when she
- 7:59Speaker 3: was about to die, which was really dying from multiple myeloma,
- 8:04Speaker 3: you know, form of very severe blood disorder and a
- 8:08Speaker 3: form of cancer. So that philosophy of wanting to bring
- 8:16Speaker 3: different things together so we can take care of the
- 8:19Speaker 3: trees but also understand the forest was what drove me
- 8:24Speaker 3: to this new branch of medicine called functional medicine or
- 8:29Speaker 3: integrated medicine, holistic medicine, unti aging medicine, they're all talking
- 8:32Speaker 3: about the same thing. Alternative medicine. It's all about looking
- 8:36Speaker 3: at the intricacy of the human body and not forgetting
- 8:41Speaker 3: different relationships. Some relationships are as simple as different vitamins.
- 8:46Speaker 3: We have numerous vitamins in our body, and how are
- 8:50Speaker 3: they interacting with different organs, sometimes at the same time,
- 8:56Speaker 3: and so if you don't have one, all these different
- 9:01Speaker 3: symptoms are affected. So that's like a basic example of
- 9:05Speaker 3: how one thing can tie different systems together, and unfortunately
- 9:10Speaker 3: the conventional form of medicine is not looking at that.
- 9:13Speaker 3: So to me, intellectually, we need to practice this new
- 9:17Speaker 3: form of medicine. And once I got into that holistic realm,
- 9:24Speaker 3: that's when I encountered stem cell therapy, and to me,
- 9:28Speaker 3: that was a huge aha. Moment that I would never,
- 9:33Speaker 3: never veer away from because what I saw was the
- 9:36Speaker 3: most holistic approach you can imagine. It's using the intelligence
- 9:41Speaker 3: that made us and allowed that to talk to your
- 9:45Speaker 3: entire body, to all your organs, and to promote repair,
- 9:51Speaker 3: because what can make you can make you new again.
- 9:55Speaker 3: So that's kind of my journey into stem cells. That's
- 9:58Speaker 3: why now I'm focusing so much on stem cells. Of course,
- 10:02Speaker 3: exosomes and offshoot of stem cell therapy, and then peptides
- 10:08Speaker 3: we can target different organs. That's kind of a different branch,
- 10:11Speaker 3: but this is all tapping into the secrets, the codes
- 10:16Speaker 3: then nature has.
- 10:17Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, yes, we're really behind here in the West
- 10:22Speaker 1: with medicine. I studied psychology, sociology, biology, then youth work
- 10:29Speaker 1: and then social work and the whole kind of emphasis
- 10:34Speaker 1: there is on holistic practice, you know, factoring everyone's social circumstance,
- 10:39Speaker 1: their psychology, their physical.
- 10:42Speaker 2: Health, diet, all this kind of stuff.
- 10:45Speaker 1: And yet if you go to an English doctor, all
- 10:47Speaker 1: they're really trained to do is just prescribe you a pill,
- 10:50Speaker 1: just like immediately, or if it's worse, they send you
- 10:54Speaker 1: a surgeon. That's just like, yeah, I'll operate well.
- 10:58Speaker 2: When do you want it to? There's no kind of
- 11:00Speaker 2: you know, how are you living your life decision?
- 11:03Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm guessing it's probably a bit the same in
- 11:06Speaker 1: the States in the mainstream, is it.
- 11:08Speaker 3: Oh yeah, if you are going to your doctor, that's
- 11:11Speaker 3: all based on insurance coverage. I'm afraid that's what you're
- 11:14Speaker 3: going to get.
- 11:15Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I'm fascinated. I played a little clip from
- 11:20Speaker 1: your YouTube at the beginning there. Do I understand that
- 11:23Speaker 1: the stem cells come from the placenter when a baby's born.
- 11:29Speaker 3: Well, we actually have stem cells throughout our body right
- 11:33Speaker 3: now as we speak. So initially, of course, it came
- 11:36Speaker 3: from the sort of I mean, the fertilized egg. And
- 11:40Speaker 3: from that egg there's all this cell differentiation, which means
- 11:46Speaker 3: gaining function. While you gain function, you lose potentials. So
- 11:50Speaker 3: the cells are evolving to form eventually form organs, right,
- 11:55Speaker 3: forming structures. So in your organ let's say you're liver,
- 12:00Speaker 3: there is the liver working cell, but there's also the
- 12:04Speaker 3: liver stem cell, and that stem cell has lost so
- 12:08Speaker 3: much potential, has gained so much specialization that all it
- 12:12Speaker 3: can differentiate into is a liver cell. But the rest
- 12:15Speaker 3: of But if you go upstream, there could be other
- 12:20Speaker 3: cell types. So there're a lot they're probably you know,
- 12:24Speaker 3: a thousand differentiations or a thousand variations of stem cells
- 12:29Speaker 3: within the human body, all the way down to plural
- 12:34Speaker 3: potent stem cells. So these are cells that can become
- 12:36Speaker 3: anything in the body. So all these are coexisting in
- 12:39Speaker 3: the body. So what do you want to tap into
- 12:42Speaker 3: when you are going more upstream? When the cells were
- 12:46Speaker 3: still younger in its kind of evolutionary age, that means
- 12:51Speaker 3: it has more potential, it can become more things. Then
- 12:55Speaker 3: the signals they sent will have certain ramifications. There's more
- 12:58Speaker 3: upstream where do we intercept. That's the art of stem
- 13:03Speaker 3: cell therapy. So we can use early birth tissue as
- 13:09Speaker 3: a source for stem cells, and these are more upstream,
- 13:12Speaker 3: so from the local cord or placenta. A lot of
- 13:16Speaker 3: these cells were trapped in the early embryo and fetus development,
- 13:21Speaker 3: so they have retained a lot of the characteristics of
- 13:25Speaker 3: the embryonic stem cells of the early much earlier generations,
- 13:30Speaker 3: and you can use those and that will give you
- 13:34Speaker 3: greater variety of signals to trigger more upstream regeneration.
- 13:39Speaker 1: Wow, So a question Joy has do you think that
- 13:44Speaker 1: stem cell.
- 13:47Speaker 2: What's the words for it?
- 13:48Speaker 1: When you have the stem cell therapy? H do you
- 13:52Speaker 1: think it's become more popular because of Joe Rogan.
- 13:57Speaker 3: Joe Rogan helped, Tony Robbins helped. These two are really
- 14:02Speaker 3: are upfronts of this ten cell of medicine because they
- 14:08Speaker 3: have such huge influence and they have personally received benefits.
- 14:12Speaker 3: I mean, these are people who have access to everything, right,
- 14:15Speaker 3: anything that's available, and when they've tried everything and nothing
- 14:20Speaker 3: had quite got them to where they want to be,
- 14:22Speaker 3: and then stem cells created such fast and drastic improvement. Yeah,
- 14:27Speaker 3: of course they're excited. They want to spread the word,
- 14:30Speaker 3: so absolutely. Tony Robbins wrote the book Life Force, and
- 14:35Speaker 3: I actually critiqued it on YouTube. I had a few
- 14:38Speaker 3: videos I critique the the chapters on stem cell therapy.
- 14:43Speaker 3: So there were there were some mistakes in the in
- 14:47Speaker 3: the chapters written by you know doctor that Tony Robbins invited.
- 14:52Speaker 3: So my problem with the field is that there's a
- 14:56Speaker 3: lot of misinformation, partially from doctors, to going ahead and
- 15:01Speaker 3: doing stem cell therapy without a good foundation of the
- 15:06Speaker 3: knowledge of what kind of cells they are, how they function.
- 15:09Speaker 3: So if you don't have the fundamental knowledge you know,
- 15:13Speaker 3: in a solid place, then you will say things that
- 15:17Speaker 3: are not based on really on scientific foundation. So that's
- 15:24Speaker 3: my problem with it, which is why I founded an academy,
- 15:28Speaker 3: American Academy of Integrated Cell Therapy. We've been providing training
- 15:32Speaker 3: since twenty eighteen, and we have started doing certification trainings
- 15:40Speaker 3: specifically really to get doctors to be fully proficient and
- 15:46Speaker 3: not just getting bits and pieces from here and there
- 15:50Speaker 3: from reps of stem cell companies. Maybe they read an
- 15:54Speaker 3: article or two, but no, you know, be a lot
- 15:57Speaker 3: more of a true physician, right too, pioneer, So you
- 16:03Speaker 3: want to understand a much greater variety of research results
- 16:11Speaker 3: so that you can speak intelligently. Yeah. So so that's
- 16:13Speaker 3: kind of one of my missions, which is education. So
- 16:16Speaker 3: going back to wanting to be a professor. So I'm
- 16:20Speaker 3: in a sense, you know, fulfill that anyhow, I'm actually
- 16:23Speaker 3: Confucius descendant, you know, seventy third generations, so wanting to teach,
- 16:28Speaker 3: wanting to you know, kind of pass down the knowledge
- 16:32Speaker 3: has I guess it's in my bones.
- 16:35Speaker 1: You're actually a descendant of Confucius.
- 16:38Speaker 3: Yeah, seventy third generation. Yes, in a long time, twenty
- 16:43Speaker 3: five hundred years.
- 16:44Speaker 1: Ago, that's fascinating. Yes, yeah, I used to live in
- 16:48Speaker 1: Hong Kong and China. Oh, and I loved the Confucius stuff.
- 16:53Speaker 1: I worked in a nightclub in Hong Kong and it
- 16:57Speaker 1: was all run by the local triads, but they had
- 17:01Speaker 1: this real sense of like they would do things in
- 17:05Speaker 1: a real certain way. So on the very first day there,
- 17:08Speaker 1: when the boss found out that I just moved into
- 17:10Speaker 1: an apartment and there was nothing in it, he just
- 17:13Speaker 1: went up to the till in the club took out
- 17:16Speaker 1: I don't know, five thousand Hong Kong dollars and he
- 17:21Speaker 1: just gave it to me.
- 17:21Speaker 2: And then I I'm.
- 17:23Speaker 1: Doing the research and it says Confucius says boss must
- 17:29Speaker 1: look after employer. In return, employer looks after the boss.
- 17:33Speaker 3: So yeah, employee, yeah, sorry, yes, wow, Confucius said that.
- 17:43Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like a sort of you know, unwritten law.
- 17:47Speaker 2: I suppose it's wonderful.
- 17:50Speaker 3: That's wonderful, because the worst is I was a lot
- 17:53Speaker 3: of time questioning, all right, if you don't know God,
- 17:56Speaker 3: you know, how can you behave well, how can you
- 18:00Speaker 3: know the rules of it have been a decent human.
- 18:05Speaker 3: China has a different system, and it's a lot is
- 18:08Speaker 3: about human decency, about doing the right thing. So so
- 18:12Speaker 3: even without this particular entity of an all knowing God,
- 18:17Speaker 3: you understand that there's a nature of human existence. There's
- 18:24Speaker 3: a natural way, so like Daoism the way, and and
- 18:27Speaker 3: that's the rule of how a human should interact with
- 18:32Speaker 3: it's you know, it's peers, and how it should yeah,
- 18:36Speaker 3: function as a just decent human being. So, yes, they
- 18:41Speaker 3: have you know, various various uh you know sayings and
- 18:46Speaker 3: and uh and and these kind of standards that we
- 18:50Speaker 3: try to live by.
- 18:51Speaker 1: Yes, we talk about this a lot on this show.
- 18:53Speaker 1: I think my my friends out there were kind of
- 18:56Speaker 1: of the opinion that religion isn't really like knowing God.
- 19:02Speaker 1: That really God is nosis and knowing, knowing right from wrong,
- 19:07Speaker 1: and we call it in ancient England we called it
- 19:12Speaker 1: natural law. We actually have a sort of constitution in England,
- 19:18Speaker 1: even though it's been sort of walked over in recent times,
- 19:22Speaker 1: but constitution essentially is just do the right thing, you know,
- 19:28Speaker 1: don't don't harm other people unless they're going to commit
- 19:32Speaker 1: you harm, and all this kind of stuff. So, yes, fascinating.
- 19:37Speaker 1: I met Tony Robbins.
- 19:40Speaker 2: Have you met him?
- 19:41Speaker 3: Yes, definitely, I actually just came back from Fiji to
- 19:45Speaker 3: his Life and Wealth Mastery. But he wasn't there, but
- 19:47Speaker 3: I was in other events where he was there. We spoke.
- 19:51Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, he's quite quite a character. Hey, yeah, I went.
- 19:57Speaker 1: I went to his Awaken the jibt Within seminar about.
- 20:02Speaker 3: Oh unleash the power within.
- 20:03Speaker 2: Yeah, that's the one.
- 20:05Speaker 3: It was humongous event, sixteen twenty thousand people. Yeah.
- 20:10Speaker 1: Yeah, the one I went is probably a bit smaller
- 20:12Speaker 1: than that. But he taught us the firewalk, which was just.
- 20:16Speaker 3: Oh you did that?
- 20:17Speaker 1: Yeah, I did it, and then I used to do
- 20:21Speaker 1: it quite a lot. I used to teach people how
- 20:24Speaker 1: to do it. But I still kind of use that
- 20:26Speaker 1: psychology if I'm ever in a challenging situation, I'm just
- 20:31Speaker 1: poor and change your mindset do it?
- 20:35Speaker 3: Wow? Nice? Nice?
- 20:37Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 20:38Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean Joe Rogan, he's kind of like the man,
- 20:42Speaker 1: isn't he with that that kind of stuff. He takes
- 20:44Speaker 1: his health and fitness seriously.
- 20:48Speaker 3: Yeah, so I think, you know, and I wish all
- 20:51Speaker 3: the doctors do that, right. So I myself, I practice
- 20:54Speaker 3: what I preach and it's very important. So I don't
- 20:57Speaker 3: put junk in my body and I exercise the only
- 21:02Speaker 3: thing I'm not doing very well on is sleep. But
- 21:05Speaker 3: there are some basic tenets of what you can do
- 21:08Speaker 3: to enhance your health. So the foundation has to be
- 21:13Speaker 3: to be respected. That will be nutrition, movement, sleep, and
- 21:20Speaker 3: then mindset how you can modulate your interaction with the
- 21:26Speaker 3: world and not be taken down in a sense by
- 21:31Speaker 3: things that may not be happening your way. And that's
- 21:35Speaker 3: a constant, constant battle. So and for people who have
- 21:41Speaker 3: gone through difficulties like I have. I mean it's not
- 21:44Speaker 3: like I had a traumatic childhood. Yes, where there are trauma, yes,
- 21:48Speaker 3: But I'm very much about agency, about taking responsibilities and
- 21:53Speaker 3: not wallowing in our sufferings. I am very much about
- 21:58Speaker 3: looking forward, and you know, I kind of dust off.
- 22:01Speaker 3: It gets a little bit of a warrior mindset, and
- 22:04Speaker 3: that's why the tiger. The tiger is not going to
- 22:07Speaker 3: be pouting and you know, be always moping. Tigers strategizing
- 22:14Speaker 3: and thinking ahead. And so that's the spirit that I
- 22:17Speaker 3: want to share and maybe awaken in other people. And
- 22:21Speaker 3: that's one reason I wrote my book. And I think
- 22:25Speaker 3: the fact that I wrote it as a memoir made
- 22:28Speaker 3: it just a little bit more potent for people, because
- 22:32Speaker 3: if I had written it as a novel, like I
- 22:35Speaker 3: first was what's going to do? It would have diluted
- 22:40Speaker 3: the power in it because it would be a fiction.
- 22:44Speaker 3: This one, I'm exposing myself more, which doesn't really matter
- 22:48Speaker 3: to me. You know, this is not about me. This
- 22:52Speaker 3: is about human resilience and what people can can't really gather.
- 22:56Speaker 3: So by showing the world this actually has, this is real,
- 23:01Speaker 3: and this is how I overcame it despite being sometimes
- 23:07Speaker 3: felt like I was being crushed, but coming out a winner.
- 23:11Speaker 3: And from that, I think I can inspire people, which
- 23:16Speaker 3: I have. I've met so many people who came to me, men, women,
- 23:20Speaker 3: different backgrounds, been inspired by the story and it really resonated,
- 23:25Speaker 3: which is just incredible. Yeah, and it's with the same
- 23:29Speaker 3: spirit that I'm bringing to my work, like my work
- 23:35Speaker 3: in a not very friendly environment when it comes to
- 23:37Speaker 3: regenerative medicine, because we are breaking tradition, we are moving
- 23:42Speaker 3: ahead in a way that is not embraced and welcome
- 23:48Speaker 3: by the status quo. So there's a lot of suppression
- 23:55Speaker 3: either outward or a more subtle level of suppression on
- 24:01Speaker 3: the surface. Maybe the governing body says, oh, no, we
- 24:05Speaker 3: support it, we want this to you know, to be
- 24:09Speaker 3: to thrive this new branch in medicine. We just wanted
- 24:12Speaker 3: to be more responsible and more monitored. But in actuality,
- 24:20Speaker 3: a lot of times that has killed innovation and it
- 24:23Speaker 3: has killed companies, so and then it has effectively stopped
- 24:29Speaker 3: a lot of doctors from getting the word out. Even
- 24:31Speaker 3: to this point, people still think that stem cell therapy
- 24:34Speaker 3: is illegal in the US. I mean, where did that
- 24:37Speaker 3: rhetoric come from? How did that even become a thing
- 24:40Speaker 3: that ten years later, I've been doing this for ten years,
- 24:43Speaker 3: that's still a prevalent notion that somehow you can only
- 24:47Speaker 3: go overseas to get treatment. So what's the result. A
- 24:50Speaker 3: lot of people don't have the resources to go overseas
- 24:54Speaker 3: or they don't have the impetus that you know, it's
- 24:56Speaker 3: a huge thing. They have to make the arrangement to
- 25:00Speaker 3: do it. A lot of them do, but they're missing
- 25:02Speaker 3: the opportunity that it could be in their city next
- 25:06Speaker 3: door a doctor is actually providing the treatment legally. And
- 25:10Speaker 3: what a travesty that people have no ideas And a
- 25:13Speaker 3: lot of times, even to this day, I may be
- 25:17Speaker 3: going to biohacking conference, right these are biohackers. You would
- 25:20Speaker 3: think that they know the latest, and a lot of
- 25:23Speaker 3: them do know that you can get stem cell therapy,
- 25:25Speaker 3: but there are still people who think it's not legal.
- 25:28Speaker 3: So this tells you how entrenched these misinformation can be.
- 25:34Speaker 3: So so I'm faced with different levels of obstacles, misinformation
- 25:40Speaker 3: and systemic suppression. So I have to use some of
- 25:43Speaker 3: that tiger spirit in order to do this. Because if
- 25:46Speaker 3: I had been always worried about what the regulation says,
- 25:51Speaker 3: you know, you know, how is that going to? What
- 25:53Speaker 3: does amount of practice insurance cover it? What? You know?
- 25:58Speaker 3: What what is the medical board? So if all I
- 26:01Speaker 3: can think of is what if instead of what if?
- 26:05Speaker 3: This can really really make a huge difference in people.
- 26:09Speaker 3: So if I my what if is focused on my
- 26:12Speaker 3: own uh, you know, safety, then I would have never
- 26:17Speaker 3: saved so many lives and make such incredible differences in
- 26:22Speaker 3: just in so many and and bringing bringing the knowledge,
- 26:27Speaker 3: uh into you know, so many people's lives. So I
- 26:31Speaker 3: think the priority as a healer, as a doctor needs
- 26:34Speaker 3: to be set straight. What I go what I go
- 26:38Speaker 3: off by, what I base my opinion by is research
- 26:42Speaker 3: from around the world. So if the research has shown
- 26:45Speaker 3: incredible benefits in a wide range of conditions and with
- 26:50Speaker 3: so little side effects. I mean, I challenge you to
- 26:53Speaker 3: go look for side effects of stem cell therapy. It's
- 26:57Speaker 3: so incredibly safe. Of course, if your doctors do the
- 27:00Speaker 3: procedure wrong and it's injecting things in places they shouldn't
- 27:03Speaker 3: be injecting, there's a whole other story. But if you
- 27:06Speaker 3: adhere to proper protocols and using products that are clean,
- 27:10Speaker 3: that are properly produced, then it's extraordinarily safe. So anyhow,
- 27:17Speaker 3: if you know that you're giving something that's safe and
- 27:20Speaker 3: that's potent, then it's up to you whether or not
- 27:25Speaker 3: what you believes are right for patients, and you can
- 27:28Speaker 3: focus on that and do the right thing. So yeah,
- 27:32Speaker 3: that I think requires some of the tiger spirit.
- 27:36Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 27:36Speaker 1: I think because you've had some harsh experiences in life,
- 27:40Speaker 1: you know right from wrong, and you know how to
- 27:43Speaker 1: act with moral courage, you know.
- 27:46Speaker 3: Yeah. Maybe I've always been like that though, So that
- 27:51Speaker 3: is kind of part of my makeup. Even when I
- 27:54Speaker 3: was growing in China. Growing up in China, there are
- 27:57Speaker 3: so many rules, and I really did not like all
- 28:00Speaker 3: these artificial rules because I always felt that I need
- 28:06Speaker 3: to understand why there are rules around and what's the purpose.
- 28:11Speaker 3: So I would never blindly follow. I would dissect the
- 28:15Speaker 3: rules that that was imposed on me and make this
- 28:18Speaker 3: decision whether or not it actually makes sense, and if
- 28:22Speaker 3: it doesn't make sense, just somebody's arbitrary rule or you know,
- 28:26Speaker 3: the reason for the rule is not for the benefit
- 28:32Speaker 3: of everybody, it's only benefiting a particular number of people.
- 28:36Speaker 3: To me, that is not a rightful rule, and then
- 28:40Speaker 3: that is not my rule. So by universal law, then
- 28:45Speaker 3: that is not a rule that I need to abide by.
- 28:47Speaker 3: So I've always want to go by, you know, what's
- 28:51Speaker 3: the right thing. So to me, that's a that's the
- 28:55Speaker 3: higher level of rule of law. Yeah, so I go
- 29:02Speaker 3: by the higher.
- 29:03Speaker 1: Law like moral authority exactly.
- 29:07Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 29:07Speaker 1: Are you familiar this is a guy I think he
- 29:10Speaker 1: had a big influence on Anthony Robbins. Dr Robert Young,
- 29:15Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he's He wrote this book which I got
- 29:19Speaker 1: a signed copy from him years ago when I met
- 29:22Speaker 1: him in in England. He wrote The pH Miracle. Okay,
- 29:27Speaker 1: and yeah, that book changed my life. That the how
- 29:32Speaker 1: can you say? It was such a massive paradigm shift
- 29:35Speaker 1: to me to be taught that our bodies have a
- 29:39Speaker 1: pH level like all living creatures, plants, et cetera. And yeah,
- 29:46Speaker 1: really it really changed my life.
- 29:49Speaker 3: But yeah, they're there. That's great. Yeah, there. So that's
- 29:52Speaker 3: part of the awakening, right, part of the fundamental understandings.
- 29:57Speaker 3: And there are a lot of understandings that we've come to,
- 30:00Speaker 3: including you know, nutrition and including you know, what minerals
- 30:06Speaker 3: can do for our body, what about hormones, and that's
- 30:08Speaker 3: a huge part of anti aging medicine. So the body
- 30:11Speaker 3: is very complex. pH is one of one of thousands
- 30:16Speaker 3: of different factors, right, is very important. But we're just
- 30:20Speaker 3: you know, beginning to you know, kind of peel off
- 30:23Speaker 3: the mystery of the body, layer by layer. So this
- 30:28Speaker 3: is why my academy is called American Academy of Integrated
- 30:32Speaker 3: celth Therapy because I do not want people to think
- 30:35Speaker 3: cell therapy is end all, be all, and this is
- 30:37Speaker 3: all you need to heal the body. No, the body
- 30:40Speaker 3: is very complex. If you lack certain vitamin or certain
- 30:45Speaker 3: amino acids, your body can rebuild itself. And so we
- 30:49Speaker 3: have to respect that if you have underlying infections, these
- 30:53Speaker 3: bugs are in your body, you have to somehow subdue
- 30:56Speaker 3: them or get rid of them, otherwise you're always suffering.
- 30:59Speaker 3: So the body is very, very complex. Yeah, so the
- 31:02Speaker 3: integration is really key.
- 31:05Speaker 1: So doctor, for those of us out out here that
- 31:08Speaker 1: are sort of unaware of stem cell therapy, what, what
- 31:12Speaker 1: are the mechanics of it?
- 31:13Speaker 3: What?
- 31:14Speaker 2: What do you I mean? I get it.
- 31:16Speaker 1: You're trying to regenerate new new growth. Would I'll be
- 31:20Speaker 1: right right.
- 31:21Speaker 3: So it's all about making the body new. So what
- 31:24Speaker 3: the stem cell therapy is doing depends on what kind
- 31:27Speaker 3: of cells you're using. So you're if you're using a
- 31:30Speaker 3: end more cells that can differentiate into a local tissue cell.
- 31:36Speaker 3: Like there are companies that will seduce seduce, will induce
- 31:44Speaker 3: stem cells to go into certain directions by using certain
- 31:49Speaker 3: signaling molecules. Let's say they induce cells to become neural
- 31:54Speaker 3: progenitor cells, so then they can become neurons and that's
- 31:58Speaker 3: a more targeted treatment. But what we can do these
- 32:04Speaker 3: days is that we don't have to be super specific.
- 32:08Speaker 3: We can use cells that are more upstream. One has
- 32:12Speaker 3: ability to differentiate into anything you want. Or two by
- 32:17Speaker 3: sending signals to your tissue organ specific stem cells that
- 32:23Speaker 3: only has one direction to go, which is to replenish
- 32:26Speaker 3: cells of that organ. We can have cells like messen
- 32:30Speaker 3: chymal stem cells really good at doing that by sending signals,
- 32:34Speaker 3: waking up the local tissue specific stem cells and making
- 32:38Speaker 3: them divide and differentiate. Now we can make new tissues.
- 32:41Speaker 3: So they're different approaches. So now even with these broader approach,
- 32:47Speaker 3: which is a lot of fun messen kymos stem cells
- 32:49Speaker 3: that's a major cell type I utilize, but there are
- 32:53Speaker 3: also other cells that can be very powerful and they
- 32:56Speaker 3: can work in conjunction. So one of the things I
- 32:58Speaker 3: brought to the field is to combine different cell types,
- 33:01Speaker 3: and that has not been done very much, but coming
- 33:04Speaker 3: from a background of utilizing not just one herb that
- 33:09Speaker 3: can have thousands of compounds, but multiple herbs coming together
- 33:14Speaker 3: to create this new symphony that can have a system
- 33:19Speaker 3: kind of you know, up leveling of effects. So by
- 33:23Speaker 3: combining different cell types and they can go into the
- 33:26Speaker 3: body and do their magic and work together, we can
- 33:29Speaker 3: create some incredible regeneration by reducing the inflammation modulating the
- 33:35Speaker 3: immune system. That's one thing mesenchymal stems that's really good
- 33:39Speaker 3: at is to shift immune system to a more regenitive
- 33:44Speaker 3: tendency and then it can break down scar tissue, it
- 33:48Speaker 3: can promote vascular formations more blessed supply. It can help
- 33:53Speaker 3: you fight microbes, you can protect the tissue that may
- 33:58Speaker 3: otherwise die due to to certain damages and signally, and
- 34:02Speaker 3: it can also help kill off cancer cells. And it
- 34:05Speaker 3: can also deliver new energy source like mitochondria. Especially if
- 34:10Speaker 3: you use younger cells, you're going to get younger mitochondria.
- 34:13Speaker 3: So all these are mechanisms of how the cells work,
- 34:17Speaker 3: But as far as how we utilize these stem cells,
- 34:21Speaker 3: they're too broad approaches. One is to send signals so
- 34:26Speaker 3: your body can repair and regenerate. The other one is
- 34:28Speaker 3: to actually scent cells that can become part of your body.
- 34:33Speaker 3: So I hope that answers.
- 34:35Speaker 1: To question, yes, absolutely, what is there one sort of
- 34:39Speaker 1: procedure that people seek out more than others.
- 34:44Speaker 3: I think the most popular one that people are utilizing
- 34:47Speaker 3: it for is for joint and soft tissue injuries and
- 34:51Speaker 3: musculars skeletal problems. I call it the bread and butter
- 34:54Speaker 3: of stem cell therapy. That's the most basic and the easiest.
- 34:59Speaker 3: Other one it's not as common, but that we utilize
- 35:06Speaker 3: more systemic approach, something like autoimmune conditions, which has a
- 35:11Speaker 3: lot of research evidence. And then there are also a
- 35:14Speaker 3: lot of evidence in helping with different organs. So in
- 35:18Speaker 3: our clinic, eighty percent of our patients actually have severe
- 35:21Speaker 3: chronic health issues, and that ranges from very difficult to
- 35:26Speaker 3: treat brain issues like traumatic brain injury, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, MS, als, stroke,
- 35:35Speaker 3: so all these are very very difficult issues, but we
- 35:41Speaker 3: have seen sometimes drastic improvements in patients. And then people
- 35:46Speaker 3: with all kinds of internal organ issues. We've seen incredible
- 35:50Speaker 3: results in heart, long liver, kidney repair, testicles or variant function.
- 35:58Speaker 3: So we can help so many organs in the system,
- 36:01Speaker 3: and it's really because the beauty of how the cells work.
- 36:04Speaker 3: I can put cells into the IV route and they
- 36:07Speaker 3: know where to go because they're attracted by inflammation and injury,
- 36:11Speaker 3: so they find their way to places that need their help,
- 36:15Speaker 3: and once they get there, they will send signals that's
- 36:18Speaker 3: appropriate for local damages. So that's the elegance of stem
- 36:23Speaker 3: cell therapy and it also makes it so fascinating and
- 36:26Speaker 3: fun to do. So these are the yeah, but we
- 36:30Speaker 3: can also do targeted approaches. For example, the brain, we
- 36:34Speaker 3: can inject cells into the nasal membrane. First of all,
- 36:39Speaker 3: we can open up the bloodberin barrier, so more cells
- 36:42Speaker 3: can through the IV route can get into the brain.
- 36:44Speaker 3: But we can also inject into the nasal membrane and
- 36:48Speaker 3: that'll be uptaken into the brain. We can also use
- 36:50Speaker 3: exosomes which are very easy to be absorbed and by
- 36:56Speaker 3: the muclesal membrane and that will be uptaken into the brain.
- 37:00Speaker 3: So there are different ways that we can access the body.
- 37:04Speaker 1: It sounds, it sounds fascinating. You sound very clever.
- 37:14Speaker 3: Well, you know you're dealing with a very clever system.
- 37:17Speaker 3: So how can we, you know, utilize how I would works?
- 37:22Speaker 3: And yeah, and another thing if you mentioned clever, I
- 37:26Speaker 3: thought was pretty clever when I incorporated laser into our
- 37:30Speaker 3: stem cell treatment because what light can do, and these
- 37:34Speaker 3: laser and we can set them into different frequencies, they
- 37:37Speaker 3: can talk to different organs. But not only that, they
- 37:40Speaker 3: can actually make the cells more active, make them, give
- 37:44Speaker 3: them more potential to divide, and make them more mobile,
- 37:48Speaker 3: and also make them stick to the organ that you're
- 37:51Speaker 3: shining the light on. So that is just fascinating. So
- 37:55Speaker 3: I can literally I'm not going to inject into someone's
- 37:58Speaker 3: heart or liver, but I can shine the light on
- 38:02Speaker 3: those organs and the cells will be attracted. So this
- 38:05Speaker 3: is a non invasive way of putting cells into a
- 38:08Speaker 3: particular location, and that has amplified our capabilities.
- 38:13Speaker 2: That's incredible. What about.
- 38:16Speaker 1: Is there any sort of controversy around this area of
- 38:20Speaker 1: the sort of groups out there that disagree with it.
- 38:23Speaker 3: Controversy a lot of times come from concerns about legality.
- 38:30Speaker 3: So these are some of the artificial constraints placed on
- 38:35Speaker 3: the field. And the other controversy is misunderstanding that people
- 38:40Speaker 3: still are somehow holding on to circulating ideas of either
- 38:49Speaker 3: embryos being destroyed or fetus has been destroyed, asking, you know,
- 38:54Speaker 3: are you getting cells from aborted fetuses? And I don't
- 38:58Speaker 3: know anybody. I don't know a single human being that
- 39:01Speaker 3: does that. There are people that do that in some countries,
- 39:05Speaker 3: but not in the US. I've never met anybody that
- 39:08Speaker 3: does that. It's not legal. Excuse me, so, but that
- 39:13Speaker 3: somehow people are still worried about it, you know, worried
- 39:16Speaker 3: about we're destroying life in some way or form, and
- 39:20Speaker 3: embryonics themselves, there are cell lines that are utilizing cells
- 39:26Speaker 3: from embryonics themselves. So you have to destroy an embryo
- 39:29Speaker 3: in order to get embryonics themselves, which came from day
- 39:32Speaker 3: five to seven after fertilization, but it's not used in humans,
- 39:38Speaker 3: is in research in the US, so no one is
- 39:41Speaker 3: using embryonic stem cells or borted fetuses. So that's been
- 39:46Speaker 3: one of the major misconceptions. And another one, you know,
- 39:51Speaker 3: I have to emphasize is that people are worried about
- 39:55Speaker 3: promoting cancer and you have to really look at what
- 40:00Speaker 3: cells you're using. If you're using your own cells, which
- 40:02Speaker 3: has declined in its capabilities and in its ability to
- 40:06Speaker 3: detect cancer and respond to cancer appropriately because in losssibility,
- 40:12Speaker 3: it continues to perform its function, which is to help
- 40:16Speaker 3: things grow, so then it will produce growth factors that
- 40:19Speaker 3: can end up promoting existing cancer. But if you use
- 40:23Speaker 3: younger sources like what I use from the umbilical court,
- 40:27Speaker 3: there's no evidence that it can actually promote cancer growth
- 40:31Speaker 3: in the human body. So on the contrary, there's so
- 40:36Speaker 3: much evidence that it's UNTI cancer. Do you really have
- 40:38Speaker 3: to know what you know, where these ideas come from,
- 40:45Speaker 3: the information come from, and be discerning of what kind
- 40:49Speaker 3: of cells we're talking about.
- 40:50Speaker 1: And Dr Joey one question, So for people out there
- 40:55Speaker 1: who are watching or.
- 40:56Speaker 2: Listening, now, how.
- 40:58Speaker 1: Affordable is this to say the average person.
- 41:02Speaker 3: Yeah, the cost has been one concern. The range is
- 41:06Speaker 3: quite wide, so generally it can range between five thousand
- 41:10Speaker 3: to fifty thousand dollars, so it's a huge range.
- 41:14Speaker 4: Uh.
- 41:14Speaker 3: And people think that they will get better prices going overseas,
- 41:17Speaker 3: and that's definitely not true because I've got so many
- 41:20Speaker 3: patients who are looking at going overseas and who some
- 41:24Speaker 3: of them have gone overseas and then coming to our
- 41:26Speaker 3: clinic saying, you know, you have better sells, better protocols,
- 41:30Speaker 3: and you're cheaper, so the cost is you know, I
- 41:35Speaker 3: try to make sure that our cost is in the
- 41:40Speaker 3: mid range in the US and a slightly lower, you know,
- 41:44Speaker 3: for the quality we provide. You know, we're really providing
- 41:47Speaker 3: incredible value. So that's always my approach. I want to
- 41:50Speaker 3: give value, but not sacrificing quality. So if you're doing
- 41:57Speaker 3: just a simple injection, like in our clinic, we charge
- 42:00Speaker 3: fifty five hundred dollars for a simple joint injection. But
- 42:04Speaker 3: if you want IV treatment, which I think is one
- 42:06Speaker 3: of the most powerful form of therapy. I say this
- 42:10Speaker 3: because I've seen it in my clinic in the past
- 42:12Speaker 3: ten years, and I've trained hundreds of doctors and they
- 42:15Speaker 3: tell me what happens when they provide the treatment, and
- 42:19Speaker 3: most of them are IV treatments, so that in our
- 42:23Speaker 3: clinic starts at eighty five hundred dollars. The more cells
- 42:27Speaker 3: you use, so the more products it's going to be required,
- 42:31Speaker 3: and the products are expensive, and that will, you know,
- 42:36Speaker 3: start to add up the cost. And if a person
- 42:39Speaker 3: wants in TORNASO, you know, they want to add on
- 42:42Speaker 3: different things and to add more products, more procedure. You
- 42:44Speaker 3: want to inject into the joints. Maybe we also do
- 42:47Speaker 3: sexual rejuvenation. We can inject into the penis vagina enhancing
- 42:51Speaker 3: sexual function. We can also do ascetic treatments, so stem
- 42:55Speaker 3: cells or exosomes on the face or hair to promote
- 43:00Speaker 3: hair restoration and facial rejuvenation. So all these things add up.
- 43:03Speaker 3: So if you want to do everything, then it's going
- 43:05Speaker 3: to be more expensive.
- 43:07Speaker 1: Yeah, of course, of course, I'm doctor. On a completely
- 43:11Speaker 1: different note, there's obviously a lot going on in the
- 43:14Speaker 1: world at the moment. What's the sort of feeling in
- 43:17Speaker 1: LA about President Trump's actions of recent you mean the war, Yeah,
- 43:24Speaker 1: the war and the I.
- 43:25Speaker 3: Don't think, you know. I I'm trying to focus on
- 43:30Speaker 3: healing people and educating other doctors. So I yeah, I
- 43:36Speaker 3: try not to get into the politics. I think the
- 43:39Speaker 3: world is definitely shifting. Some actions are You're either in
- 43:44Speaker 3: the wise category or in the unwise category. So I
- 43:50Speaker 3: think worst of such is always unwise. So there are
- 43:55Speaker 3: ways to solve problems. Unless you have aulter motive that
- 43:59Speaker 3: you want certain things to happen, you're not focused on
- 44:02Speaker 3: solving problems. So fundamentally, I'm very much against war. I
- 44:08Speaker 3: think as a result of the breakdown of human communication
- 44:12Speaker 3: and decency when you cannot just talk things out. So
- 44:15Speaker 3: that's kind of my general yeah sense.
- 44:19Speaker 2: So give me for asking.
- 44:20Speaker 1: It's just that obviously we get a very one sided
- 44:23Speaker 1: portray it.
- 44:24Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a wide range of opinions within the United States,
- 44:28Speaker 3: whether or not as a country. It's you know, decided
- 44:31Speaker 3: to do something.
- 44:32Speaker 1: Yeah, got you, got you well, doctor. It's been an
- 44:35Speaker 1: absolute pleasure hosting you on the show. I'd love to
- 44:39Speaker 1: see what the questions are that our friends out there
- 44:42Speaker 1: have got for you, and then we can maybe invite
- 44:44Speaker 1: you back on to answer them. I think it's been
- 44:47Speaker 1: a fascinating chat. Perhaps we can learn more about your story.
- 44:50Speaker 1: We when we chat next time. Absolutely, I meant to say,
- 44:54Speaker 1: if you see me looking across, it wasn't being rude.
- 44:56Speaker 1: I've been showing all your your websites and your instrument.
- 45:00Speaker 3: Yeah, so just maybe give people a range of you know,
- 45:03Speaker 3: idea of what I've worked on to bring to the world.
- 45:08Speaker 3: One is my clinic in Los Angeles. Two is that
- 45:11Speaker 3: I set up a stem cell company. Like I mentioned,
- 45:13Speaker 3: we have a unique stem cell formulation. So I wanted
- 45:16Speaker 3: to make sure that I'm a pillar of integrity in
- 45:19Speaker 3: the field because I've experienced so much lack of integrity
- 45:24Speaker 3: in the stem cell field, partially because it's a very
- 45:27Speaker 3: profitable arena of medicine. So many people got into it,
- 45:33Speaker 3: and a lot of them are business people who are
- 45:36Speaker 3: utilizing expertise of scientists to to you know, to start
- 45:41Speaker 3: making money in the field. That I don't mind. But
- 45:45Speaker 3: if you start to fudd your data or lie about
- 45:48Speaker 3: what you're doing and not producing the best products based
- 45:52Speaker 3: on science, that's what I have a problem with. I
- 45:54Speaker 3: don't have any problem with people making money by bringing
- 45:59Speaker 3: value to the world, but because of what I saw
- 46:02Speaker 3: and how disappointed I was, that's why I started a
- 46:05Speaker 3: stem cell company and then from that an offshoot of
- 46:09Speaker 3: a cosmetic company called shower Omni, where I started to
- 46:12Speaker 3: produce a really amazing skin cream because I wanted to
- 46:17Speaker 3: produce something that's one hundred percent natural, because I absolutely
- 46:21Speaker 3: tried to live by the rules of being cleaned right,
- 46:25Speaker 3: not inducing, not introducing a toxic material into this very
- 46:32Speaker 3: sacred body that we've been given. So that, but then
- 46:36Speaker 3: I also put stem cells and peptides into the formulation,
- 46:40Speaker 3: which makes it supercharged. And then I have an academy
- 46:44Speaker 3: training doctors would do certification courses twice a year. And
- 46:48Speaker 3: then I of course do my podcast, the doctor Joycom Podcasts,
- 46:54Speaker 3: which has been over three years and I've interviewed a
- 46:57Speaker 3: lot of amazing people. I think I hope people go in,
- 47:00Speaker 3: you know, check it out. So yeah, so these are
- 47:03Speaker 3: some of the resources. I want to make sure that
- 47:06Speaker 3: people realize that I've been working very hard, that's for sure. Yeah.
- 47:11Speaker 1: We can see that. I mean, we know from experience
- 47:13Speaker 1: what it's like to get so many subscribers on YouTube.
- 47:17Speaker 2: It's not easy.
- 47:18Speaker 3: That has taken many years.
- 47:20Speaker 4: Yeah.
- 47:21Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a whole career in itself, isn't it just
- 47:24Speaker 1: just just to do the YouTube?
- 47:26Speaker 3: Yeah, starting from the very first video in my living
- 47:29Speaker 3: room when my staff member asked me, what is a
- 47:33Speaker 3: stun cell? That was at the very beginning.
- 47:36Speaker 1: Yeah, so, Dotor, what we're going to do. We're going
- 47:40Speaker 1: to put all your links friends at home. We're going
- 47:42Speaker 1: to put links for doctor Cong's book, the websites, Instagram,
- 47:48Speaker 1: LinkedIn if you, I mean, people can approach you, Dotor,
- 47:53Speaker 1: con can't they for information?
- 47:55Speaker 3: Yeah? So Instagram probably is the best place. Just at
- 47:59Speaker 3: doctor underscore you way underscore Kong. People can send me
- 48:03Speaker 3: messages and follow my fun fun reels.
- 48:10Speaker 1: Yes, you've got quite a few followers on Instagram. Yeah,

- 48:18Speaker 1: How many followers someone's got?
