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.
Future episodes will delve deeper into specific types of stem cells and their applications.

Takeaways
Mold exposure can lead to a range of symptoms, including uncontrollable hunger, weight gain, thyroid issues, brain fog, and gut issues.
Mold toxins, known as mycotoxins, are responsible for the damage caused by mold.
Testing for mold can be done through measuring antibodies to mold toxins in the blood.
Itraconazole is an effective prescription medication for treating mold, and binders can be used as a support system in mold detoxification.
Mold can be found in various areas of the home, including the HVAC system, kitchens, bathrooms, and wet areas.
Identifying mold in the home requires careful inspection and maintenance to prevent mold growth. Testing for mold in your home involves more than just air testing; using swiffer pads to test settled areas and dust can provide a more accurate reading of mold levels.

Takeaways
Ozone therapy has various benefits, including reducing inflammation, boosting the immune system, and increasing energy levels.
Ozone can be administered through IV treatments, rectal insufflation, ear and nose insufflation, and gum injections.
Ozone therapy is safe when administered correctly and does not have significant side effects.
Ozone therapy can be beneficial for athletes, as it can enhance performance and aid in recovery.
Ozone therapy has potential longevity benefits and can improve overall health and well-being. Multi-pass ozone therapy is a labor-intensive treatment that requires the doctor's constant attention and the patient's presence for the duration of the treatment.
Extra corporeal blood oxygenation and ozonation (EBOO) is a highly effective ozone therapy that removes solid waste material and inflammatory fluid from the blood.
EBOO has a high diffusion factor, allowing for a greater amount of ozone to enter the bloodstream compared to other ozone treatments.
EBOO can improve kidney function and urinary issues by reducing the burden on the kidneys and promoting better blood flow.
Ozone therapy can be tailored to individual goals and budget, with EBOO being the most effective but also the most expensive option.

E4: Heavy Metals

Learn more about heavy metals and chelation therapy with The LCFL:
https://www.thelcfl.com/our-services/iv-therapies/chelation-therapy/ 
SummaryThis conversation dives into heavy metal impacts on health, covering definitions, effects, toxicity levels, stress's role, and detoxification paths. It highlights challenges in measuring metal levels and stresses the importance of ongoing chelation for effective detox. The talk also delves into chelation therapy specifics, including IV methods with DMPS/EDTA, naturopathic approaches, and the Andy Cutler method. It underscores the necessity of regular tests to gauge chelation's success, limitations of natural detox, and potential chelation risks. The dialogue wraps up noting chelation's benefits for well-being.
Key Points:
Regular monitoring is crucial for assessing chelation therapy's impact on heavy metal levels.
While naturopathic detox methods support health, IV chelation with DMPS/EDTA is superior for metal removal.
The Andy Cutler method uses ALA for a gradual detox, requiring patience and persistence.
Chelation, especially with ALA, helps purge metals from the brain, enhancing the detox process.
Side effects from chelation necessitate supervision by experienced practitioners for safety.
Effective heavy metal removal via chelation can markedly enhance life quality, with oral and suppository options as viable alternatives to IV methods.
