About this episode

Eating well, sleeping enough and exercising do not stop your body from aging. Your stem cells keep declining, and the repair work your body cannot keep up with slowly adds up.On this episode of Stem Cell Talk, Dr. Yi Song talks with Brenda Mundt about why early prevention matters more than any single treatment. Dr. Song grew up in a family practicing both traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine, and she explains the four types of stem cells, why embryonic and hematopoietic cells are not used for joint treatments, and why your own cells in your 60s or 70s are also in their 60s or 70s. She also covers why shoulder problems become so common after 40 and 50, and how acupuncture, herbal support, movement and stem cell therapy were combined in her mother's shoulder recovery.Dr. Song frames longevity around six principles from traditional Chinese medicine: early prevention, treating the root cause, knowing your body's constitution, tending the body like a garden instead of a machine, living in rhythm with nature, and a holistic mix of therapies. She is clear that stem cell therapy is not a one-time fix, and shares her own knee treatment and her silent acid reflux as examples of aging that a healthy lifestyle alone did not prevent.This is an educational conversation for anyone who wants to address joint pain and aging-related conditions early, before they become chronic.Chapters: 00:00 Stem Cells, Aging and Early Prevention 00:54 Growing Up With Chinese and Western Medicine 06:24 How Stem Cells Helped Her Mother at 81 07:25 Why Combine Chinese Medicine With Regenerative Therapy 13:06 Her Mother's Shoulder Recovery in Two Months 17:19 Avoiding Rotator Cuff Surgery With Acupuncture and Herbs 19:56 Why Shoulder Problems Rise After Age 40 and 50 25:25 The Four Types of Stem Cells Explained 28:50 Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Why Your Own Cells Age 32:53 Why Healthy Habits Don't Stop Aging 35:48 What Functional Medicine Tests Can Miss 39:15 Stem Cell Therapy Is Not a One-Time Fix 41:42 The Six Principles for Everyday Longevity 43:36 Body Constitution and Silent Acid Reflux 48:26 One Habit for a More Radiant Life 50:40 Where to Find Dr. Yi Song and Her Book🧬 What Sets Our Treatments Apart:Fresh, high-viability stem cells (85–94%) from rigorously screened umbilical cord donorsPersonalized protocols by Dr. Yi Song — dual PhD in Pathology and Oriental MedicineTreatments rooted in 17 generations of traditional Chinese medicine and modern biomedical scienceNo immune rejection risk — MSCs are immuno-privilegedFull transparency: certified for cell viability, purity, and genetic stability📍 Our Locations📌 U.S. Clinical Team: Stem Cell Therapy Experts (Boston) https://g.co/kgs/PbhECms📌 Treatment Site: Zenerchi Retreat – a tranquil healing center near Medellín, Colombia https://zenerchiretreat.com/🌐 Learn more or schedule your confidential consultation: https://www.stemcelltherapyexperts.comhttps://stemcelltherapyexperts.com/co ...📞 (617) 206-1055💬 Follow Dr. Yi Song & SCTE: 🔗 Facebook: /stemcelltherapyexperts 🔗 Instagram: /stemcelltherapyexperts 🔗 LinkedIn: /dr-yi-song🎥 Subscribe for real patient stories, clinical insights, and expert interviews on stem cell therapy.#StemCellTherapy #HealthyAging #TraditionalChineseMedicine #ShoulderPain
