Dr. Kong reflects on her early life in China, her Western medical training at UCLA, and the personal experience that shaped her approach to healing: her mother’s recovery from multiple myeloma through a holistic path. Ian and Dr. Kong explore the limitations of symptom driven medicine, the importance of addressing systems rather than isolated conditions, and how functional medicine helps bridge Eastern wisdom with Western science. They also discuss regenerative approaches such as stem cells within a broader framework of inflammation regulation, immune balance, and restoring the body’s original design.
