https://www.thelcfl.com/our-services/lifestyle-and-supplement-coaching/health-coaching/ 
Summary
In this episode, Coach Kyle and Dr. K discuss the topic of cardio and its effectiveness. They start by defining cardio as exercise that increases heart rate and explain its goal of training the cardiovascular system. The hosts then explore the benefits of cardio, including improved mood and longevity. However, they also debunk the myth that cardio is the best way to burn fat, highlighting the hormonal effects that can make weight loss more difficult. They recommend focusing on strength training for fat loss and provide a step-by-step guide to building a health and wellness program. The hosts also emphasize the importance of considering individual factors, such as stress levels, when determining the appropriate amount of cardio. Finally, they reassure listeners that cardio is not mandatory and share personal experiences of achieving weight loss without traditional cardio exercises.

Cardiovascular exercise, or cardio, is exercise that increases heart rate and trains the cardiovascular system.

A structured health and wellness program should prioritize strength training, with cardio added as a supplement.
Individual factors, such as stress levels and age, should be considered when determining the appropriate amount of cardio.
Cardio is not mandatory for achieving weight loss; other forms of exercise, such as walking, can be effective.

E9: Regenerative Injections

Check out the different regenerative options with Dr. K at The Longevity Center FL:https://www.thelcfl.com/our-services/regenerative-injections-therapy/
Summary
In this episode, Dr. K and Coach Kyle discuss regenerative injections, including prolotherapy, platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and stem cells. They explain that regenerative injections aim to heal injured tissue and promote the growth of new, healthy tissue. Prolotherapy is the base treatment, while PRP is three times more effective and uses concentrated healing factors from the patient's own blood. Stem cells, or mesenchymal signaling cells (MSCs), are even more potent and can be derived from bone marrow, adipose tissue, or birth products. The effectiveness of these treatments varies depending on the injury and the individual. In this episode, Kyle and Ben discuss the safety and risks of surgery compared to regenerative injections. They also explore the factors that affect the cost of regenerative injections and the wide range of prices in the market. The conversation concludes with a discussion on a full body stem cell makeover and plans for future deep dives into specific types of stem cells.

Stem cells, or MSCs, are even more potent and can be derived from bone marrow, adipose tissue, or birth products.
The effectiveness of regenerative injections varies depending on the injury and the individual. Regenerative injections can be a safer alternative to surgery, as surgery carries the risk of human error and potential complications.
The cost of regenerative injections varies depending on factors such as the quality of materials used and the expertise of the doctor performing the procedure.
Full body stem cell makeovers, where multiple joints and areas of the body are injected, can be a costly procedure.
