[00:25] What It Was Like Growing Up In Beijing, China
Dr. Kong grew up on a university campus. It was more sheltered than most people in China.
She grew up in an environment of learning and pursuing knowledge. However, Dr. Kong was also a bit of a rebel.
Dr. Kong never liked rules that didn’t make sense. She has been getting in trouble since kindergarten.
Overall, Dr. Kong learned that your environment can give you a certain strength or put you in a certain restraint.
[03:45] The Differences In China and America When It Comes To Healthcare
China has the biggest population in the world.
There are two medical systems. People can choose to go into Chinese medicine or go into Western medicine.
People who go into Chinese medicine also have to learn the whole Western medicine system.
Only when people get great benefits will they start to accept a new approach to healthcare.
Just because studies aren’t in English, doesn’t mean they don’t exist.
[09:20] Can The Aging Process Slow Down For Humans?
There are all these markers and symptoms of aging; we still haven't been able to label aging as a disease.
Aging is a comorbidity. However, aging is just part of human life.
Some people will have a heart attack and die, while others will live until their late nineties. Which way do you want your life to be?
We need to pay attention to optimizing our bodies, so we don’t suddenly have health issues as we age.
[13:40] Stem Cells Have The Power and Potential To Do A Lot For Your Body
Each stem cell contains this full package of intelligence that actually makes being a human possible.
A single stem cell has so much potential.
How well a stem cell treatment works will depend on where the stem cells came from and how well they are made.
Dr. Kong will get a stem cell treatment for herself every three months.
[16:40] Are Stem Cells The Key To Humans Living Longer?
Studies have come out looking at the potential capabilities of stem cells to prolong life and extend healthspan.
In a study of rats and mice, a simple stem cell infusion can actually extend their lifespan by about 30%. Plus, it preserves their physical capabilities and mental capacities.
If you can prevent the aging process, then you prevent the whole cascade to disease.
You can avoid a lot of suffering by getting a stem cell treatment.
[23:15] What To Know About Stem Cell Therapy With Dr. Kong
First of all, before stem cells, there is a very comprehensive evaluation.
Then, a naturopathic doctor will go over your entire history.
Next, Dr. Kong will address deficiencies that are going on in your body.
Plus, Dr. Kong will suggest lifestyle changes that she wants her patients to make. That way, you will have optimal results.
Depending on what the patient needs, Dr. Kong will create a treatment plan.

[27:25] Who Can Benefit From Stem Cell Treatments?
If you are over age 35, you will start to notice aging.
Everyone above age 35 can benefit from stem cells.
Even if you are much older, stem cells will still benefit you.
When researchers gave old rats stem cells, their lifespan tripled.
The key is enhancing your quality of life with stem cells.
[30:15] Natural Ways To Produce More Stem Cells In Your Body
Fasting and intermittent fasting are powerful tools.
Dr. Kong doesn’t eat before noon every day – at least 16 hours of fasting.
What you eat will be the foundation of your body. Let food be your medicine.
We need to respect the vessel that we are gifted.
[32:00] Aging: What Is Really Happening In The Human Body?
When we age, we are running out of stem cells.
Being alive means we are getting damaged.
As long as you have enough cells to replace what's damaged, then you're good.
Stem cells are the engine of the body. If you don’t have an engine, then you’re not going to get anywhere.
[37:15] Dr. Kong Recommends Supplements That Will Help Cellular Function
Dr. Kong says vitamin D is so essential.
Omega 3 is also important.
Fulvic acid is one of Dr. Kong’s favorites.
Ben even puts fulvic acid in his dog’s water bowl.

This book is about Dr. Kong’s dream to come to the United States. However, she had every card stacked against her.
The first chapter starts with getting her visa rejected; it was one of the biggest obstacles in her life.
Dr. Kong is grateful for America, and she feels like she belongs here.
AND MUCH MORE!
