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.

-
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.
