Peptide therapy is turning out to be one of the most exciting frontiers of modern regenerative medicine.

Peptides are nature-derived, highly targeted molecules that are already in your body, but when used therapeutically, they can guide healing, enhance function, and even reverse aspects of aging.

I walk you through the most powerful peptides, from BPC-157 for tissue and gut repair, to epitalon for extending biological youth, to brain peptides like Dihexa and Cerebrolysin that can help rebuild neural pathways.

There’s likely a peptide for anything you can think of. Whether it’s for boosting your immune system, improving sleep, enhancing mood, supporting weight loss, or regenerating skin and hair

I’ll also look at cutting-edge research, including studies on cardiovascular rejuvenation, sexual function peptides like PT-141, and even mitochondrial peptides that fuel your cells’ energy engines.

🎧 Tap in and explore the world of peptides, because you deserve to feel vibrant, strong, and fully alive.

You’ve probably heard all the amazing benefits of stem cells. They can heal injuries, reverse aging, and even fight chronic disease.

But there is a lot of confusion on what’s actually safe, what works, and what to avoid.

I was interviewed by Greg the Hydrogen Man, and Greg asked many questions about stem cell therapy that many people wanted to know the answers to, from what cell sources to choose, to whether a person should try to get as many cells as possible in a stem cell treatment.

I break down the critical differences between stem cells from your own aging body and those from pristine, birth-derived sources like umbilical cord tissue.

We talk about how older cells lose their intelligence, how they may fail to fight off abnormal or cancerous cells, and how younger stem cells still retain the power to recognize and kill what doesn’t belong.

We also discuss how to enhance the success of stem cell therapy through tools like red light therapy, hydrogen water, ozone, and detox. Stem cells need a clean, supportive environment to thrive.

🎧 Listen now and discover the truth about stem cell therapy!

I presented this lecture to help medical providers see just how much data we actually have when it comes to stem cell therapy. If we never look at the studies, we assume they don’t exist, but they do. And they’re not just encouraging but very inspiring.

As the founder of the American Academy of Integrative Cell Therapy, I’ve spent years digging into peer-reviewed research and applying it in real clinical settings. In this talk, I walk through compelling studies that show how mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are being used to treat autoimmune diseases, neurological disorders, cardiovascular conditions, and even things like erectile dysfunction and autism.

I look at the regenerative power of MSCs, how they travel where they’re needed, and the wide-ranging ways they modulate inflammation, restore function, and enhance healing.

Stem cell research is moving fast, and we’re witnessing the early days of a major shift in modern medicine.

🎧 Tune in and see how the future of healing is already here.

They told me no over and over. But I kept searching. And I didn’t stop until I found what I knew was possible. Freedom, healing, and truth.

In this episode, I share my story with Bre Wilson, from growing up in China under harsh restrictions to sneaking into libraries to chase a dream, to finally arriving in the U.S. and realizing the fight had only just begun.

You’ll hear how I navigated an abusive marriage, an unforgiving medical system, and the deep, soul-level desire to heal others beyond what conventional models allowed.

I talk about why I chose psychiatry, how I fell in love with Eastern and Western approaches to medicine, and how stem cells became the ultimate integration of everything I believe in.

This deeply personal story is for anyone who knows deep down there’s more. More to life. More to healing. More than what you’re meant for.

I hope my journey reminds you to keep searching. There’s something worth finding on the other side.

In this episode, I’m explaining what I believe is the most powerful tool we’ve ever had to slow and reverse the aging process.

We'll dive into the science behind why your body loses its regenerative fire as you age and how mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), especially from young birth tissue, can reignite that healing intelligence from within.

I’ve seen firsthand how inflammation silently drives disease and aging. Young mesenchymal stem cells have the ability to calm that Inflammaging fire and reawaken our body’s natural healing systems.

Let’s talk about what’s possible when we tap into the original code of life.

Shawn and Janet Needham are “reformed pharmacists” who curiously try to stay away from medications.

They made the switch from conventional medicine that views medications as the destination for any ailment to offering something that is much more effective at solving the problem.

The Needhams share how they became disillusioned with the “pill for every ill” system after seeing countless patients grow sicker despite following medication protocols.

They now focus on empowering people to reverse chronic diseases through lifestyle, nutrition, and carefully tailored hormone therapy.

We dove into why and how they made such a drastic shift, and discussed hormone replacement therapy, including thyroid hormone and testosterone.

We got into the science behind hormone imbalance, why it's often ignored in mainstream medicine, and how simple changes like getting sunlight and improving sleep can transform health.

They also share firsthand stories from their patients, dispelling myths around sun exposure, iodine, and hormone-related surgeries.

If you're ready to ditch the meds and take back control of your health, this episode is a must-listen.
