What's going on everybody? We're back to the real bodybuilding podcast and I'm here with my doctor. So of all people I decided to get my doctor Mr Dr. Con or not it's not Mr. Dr. Con is it? It's just Dr. Con. How are you? How are you, how are you, doctor?

I'm good.

Thanks for having me on.

I wanted to get you on because there is a lot of misinformation and there's a lot of people wondering what they should ask their doctor and what to do when they talk to their doctor and what their doctor should be knowledgeable about what they shouldn't be.

And there's some regenerative stuff I want to talk to you about too because that's your specialty.

So I thought I'd get you on and we'd have a conversation.

Yeah, exactly. Yeah, and I think I'm very lucky in that I've been trained by some of the world's best doctors so I'm able to share that information with other people.

Okay.

All right, so let's get in. I originally started seeing you for PRP that was like actually the very first time I walked into your office was for stem cells.

Yeah, remember I remember let's get into stem cells first. I think this is a really interesting one because people are always talking about it. So when I first came to your office I said to you I saw Mel Gibson on Joe Rogan's podcast and he said that I can get stem cells and make my whole body feel better. Yes.

And you said to me, that's total bullshit.

Yeah, I don't want to see you wasting $25,000.

Yeah, and you're not the first one. I've had dozens of patients walk through at least I would say at least once a week asking about Panama and IV stem cells. Yeah. And yeah, there there isn't really much evidence on IV stem cells.

There is evidence on more specific ailments where you can treat and target stem cells.

So, for example, like we've talked about before

is if you have a tear in a muscle

and if it's a big tear,

you can harvest your own fat and use it as a scaffold and it can send signals to the tissue that's torn and then start the regenerative process.

But in that instance, you actually have a specific target and you know what you're why you're using it and what's what the

Purpose is whereas in IV stem cells you're just kind of putting it through at your body and you're hoping it's going to do something

Yeah because the theory the theory that I've been, I've heard is that if you do intravenous stem cells,

the stem cells just kind of go where you need them.
