You can refuse chemo and radiation for some types of breast cancer. The trick is knowing which type, and what the published research actually says.Dr. Yi Song, dual PhD in Pathology and Oriental Medicine and founder of Stem Cell Therapy Experts, walks through her own 2017 ductal carcinoma in situ diagnosis. She explains why she refused surgery, chemo, and radiation, what the research shows about over-treatment of DCIS, and how she used a genetic panel on her own biopsy sample to make the call. The framing is grounded in 6,000 years of Chinese medicine and modern biomedical science.In conversation with Cat from Genwell, Dr. Song breaks down the breast-stomach connection in traditional Chinese medicine, what damp heat constitution looks like, why soy gets vilified for the wrong reasons, how to evaluate red light therapy strength and timing, and when an early stem cell injection can replace a knee replacement years down the line. She also previews her upcoming book, Regeneration Effect: Sacred Wisdom for Staying Young.This is an educational conversation for those exploring regenerative medicine, integrative care, hormone health, and the limits of conventional over-treatment. If you are weighing options after a diagnosis, supporting a loved one, or trying to get ahead of degenerative decline, the framework here is built around root cause, early prevention, body constitution, and tending the garden of your own physiology.00:00 The Regeneration Effect: Aging Powerfully and Refusing Over-Treatment01:38 Dr. Yi Song's 2017 DCIS Diagnosis04:38 Sleep, Lifestyle, and Root Cause of Disease09:36 Chinese Medicine 101: 6,000 Years of Wisdom12:22 Why Western Medicine Misses Root Cause14:14 The Breast-Stomach Connection in TCM17:13 Recognizing Your Body Constitution21:16 What Regenerative Medicine Actually Means26:33 The Six Principles of the Regeneration Effect30:25 Genetic Testing Beyond 23andMe and Ancestry38:42 Soy, Genistein, and the Estrogen Receptor Myth44:05 Kids, Cow Milk, and Xenoestrogen Exposure45:51 Tending the Garden Instead of Joint Replacement49:08 Red Light Therapy: Strength, Timing, and Brands55:43 The Science Behind Red Light Therapy57:00 Red Light for Eyes and Early Prevention🧬 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, Colombiahttps://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-phd🎥 Subscribe for real patient stories, clinical insights, and expert interviews on stem cell therapy.#StemCellTherapy #ChineseMedicine #RegenerativeMedicine #BreastCancerAwareness #HormoneHealth

Why do two people take the same cannabis product and have completely different experiences? The answer may be hidden in your DNA.In this episode, we explore how the endocannabinoid system works and why personalized medicine is becoming essential in modern healthcare. Len May shares his journey from early cannabis use for ADHD to building a platform that combines human genetics with plant science. The conversation dives into how cannabinoids like THC and CBD interact with the body, how genetic markers influence stress response and metabolism, and why dosage and composition matter more than strain names.We also discuss the limitations of a one-size-fits-all approach in medicine and how emerging tools like pharmacogenomics and AI-driven platforms are helping practitioners create more individualized treatment plans. From inflammation and mood regulation to neuroplasticity and psychedelic therapies, this episode highlights the importance of understanding your unique biology before choosing any intervention.If you are exploring cannabis, psychedelics, or regenerative therapies, this conversation offers a grounded, science-informed perspective on how personalization can improve both safety and outcomes.00:00 Cannabis and Brain Noise Reduction Explained00:10 ADHD Medication vs Cannabis Experience00:31 Regenerative Medicine and Biohacking Overview01:03 Endocannabinoid System and DNA Personalization04:59 Why Cannabis Affects People Differently05:49 Plant Genetics Meets Human Genetics07:17 Cannabis Side Effects and Hunger Mechanism08:57 Understanding Normal vs Adverse Effects10:24 Endocannabinoid System Discovery and Function13:48 Genetics, Anandamide, and Stress Response15:45 THC vs CBD: Receptors and Balance16:32 Terpenes and Personalized Cannabis Effects18:17 AI and Machine Learning in Treatment Matching21:01 Available DNA Tests and Clinical Applications22:35 Epigenetics and Treatment Feedback Loops25:32 AI Platform for Personalized Healthcare27:50 Cost and Accessibility of Genetic Testing31:10 Genetics Is Only One Piece of Health32:20 Early Prevention and Root Cause Medicine33:06 Limits of AI and Role of Practitioners35:30 Psychedelics and Genetic Response Testing38:02 Ketamine, Neuroplasticity, and PTSD39:27 Psychedelics and Brain Noise Theory41:11 Letting Go and Psychological Insight42:14 Cannabis vs Psychedelics for Therapy43:07 Importance of Intention in Psychedelic Use44:30 Moving Beyond Cookie Cutter Medicine45:21 Personal Responsibility in Health46:17 Dosing, Set, and Setting Explained47:50 Variability in Psilocybin Potency49:07 How to Access Endocannabinoid Testing--- 🧬 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, Colombiahttps://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-phd🎥 Subscribe for real patient stories, clinical insights, and expert interviews on stem cell therapy.#endocannabinoidsystem #personalizedmedicine #cannabisresearch

Most red light therapy videos only talk about the benefits. Almost no one talks about when it can make things worse.

In this episode of the Regeneration Effect Podcast, Dr. Yi Song sits down with Lee Weinstein, the original inventor of laser tag and a lifelong science innovator, to break down the real science behind red light therapy.

They explain the difference between lasers and LEDs, why “laser” is often a marketing term, and what actually matters biologically once light enters the body. You’ll hear the historical origins of photobiomodulation, including Florence Nightingale’s battlefield observations and early red light experiments.

Most importantly, this conversation addresses something rarely discussed: red light therapy can energize biological processes. That can be beneficial for healing and mitochondrial function. But in certain situations, such as active infections or growing cancers, increasing cellular energy may not be helpful.

Topics covered include:

• The real difference between laser and LED devices
• Why many “laser helmets” are mostly LEDs
• Eye safety and proper application techniques
• Mitochondria, cytochrome c oxidase, and ATP production
• Photocatalysis and cellular reaction rates
• Why red light may accelerate infections
• A personal skin cancer experiment and what it revealed

This is not hype. It is a science-based discussion about mechanisms, risks, and responsible use.

If you are curious but skeptical about red light therapy, this episode is essential viewing.
