Regeneration Effect with Video

What if the algae tablets in your cupboard are missing the nutrients that make algae worth taking? How algae is grown and dried may matter as much as what it is.
Dr. Yi Song sits down with Catharine Arnston, founder of ENERGYbits, who holds an MBA and a PhD in natural health and has spent 17 years researching spirulina and chlorella algae. Catharine explains how her sister's breast cancer diagnosis led her into plant-based nutrition, why algae is a whole food rather than a supplement, and why she grows hers in triple filtered spring mountain water in southern Taiwan with third party lab testing.
The conversation covers why high heat during drying may deactivate superoxide dismutase (SOD) and phycocyanin, how spirulina and chlorella differ (spirulina for energy and brain health, chlorella for detox, sleep and gut health), why she points to the electron transport chain inside the mitochondria as a source of chronic inflammation, and how post-war hunger in Japan built the algae industry in Asia. Catharine also shares practical dosing, why people on GLP-1 medications may need more protein, and her own daily routine at nearly 70.
This is an educational conversation for anyone curious about cellular energy, mitochondrial health, and how food quality shapes long-term wellbeing.

Most nutrition advice stops at macros and calories. It treats food as fuel and nothing else.
Lainie Sevante Wulkan, food scientist, fourth generation intuitive, and founder of the Center for Intuitive Food Therapy, joins Dr. Yi Song on Regeneration Effect to make the case that food carries information as well as nutrition. She traces her path from a university food science program in the early nineties, through the work of Masaru Emoto, Bruce Lipton, and David Hawkins, to the Food Healing Oracle Deck now used in 45 countries.
The conversation covers why the artichoke became the forgiveness card and cilantro the confusion card, how heavy metal chelation and pH sit alongside the metaphor, what muscle testing adds to a reading, and how her recent work in DNA, blood type, and food cravings pulls the practice back toward measurable science. She also describes Hope from the Himalayas, a documentary on an Ayurvedic herbal infusion company in Nepal that is funding economic independence for girls at risk of trafficking, and the retreats she runs each year in Florida, Sicily, and now Nepal.
This is an educational conversation for those exploring nutrition, intuition, and the space where traditional practice meets modern research.

Most supplement stacks treat aging like a supply chain problem: add NAD here, CoQ10 there, something for mitochondria, something for enzymes. The molecule designed to handle most of that work has been known for over a century. The problem was always getting it inside the cell.
Pharmacist Nayan Patel, author of The Glutathione Revolution, joins Dr. Yi Song to trace glutathione from its discovery through the six-year cyclodextrin breakthrough that finally makes it bioavailable at the cellular level. They cover the three-tier antioxidant framework, why standard formulations never deliver the intact molecule, what NAD actually does and does not do, why blood tests for glutathione are almost always misleading, and how oxidative stress may be the defining health challenge of this century.
This is an educational conversation for those exploring cellular health, antioxidant science, and longevity supplementation.

What if chronic pain, stiffness, and fatigue are not just muscle problems?
Sue Hitzmann, founder of the MELT Method and New York Times bestselling author of The MELT Method, joins Dr. Yi Song on Regeneration Effect to explain why fascia may be the missing link in pain, mobility, inflammation, nervous system regulation, and healthy aging.
Sue shares how her own experience with plantar fasciitis and body-wide pain led her from fitness and neuromuscular therapy into fascia research. The conversation covers joint pain, morning stiffness, vagus nerve signaling, lymphatic flow, breathwork, hydration, sports recovery, scar tissue, lipedema, lymphedema, and why gentle self-care may matter before pain becomes chronic.
This is an educational conversation for people exploring root-cause approaches to pain, mobility, inflammation, and long-term health.

Eight hours of sleep. Eight glasses of water. Ten thousand steps a day. Most of those numbers were not science, they were marketing. This episode pulls apart the longevity rules most people still build their lives around, and replaces them with what is actually in the peer reviewed literature.
Dr. Yi Song sits down with Dave Asprey, the entrepreneur who coined the word biohacking and has authored multiple New York Times bestsellers on aging. Recorded in the middle of the Drake Passage on the way to Antarctica, the conversation traces how Dave went from 300 pounds, pre-diabetic, and chronically fatigued in his twenties to a 53 year old who says he feels closer to his mid thirties, and what he stuck with for 25 years to get there.
The conversation gets specific. Stem cells in every joint and three rounds into cerebral spinal fluid, then later guided into the brain at a partner clinic in Costa Rica using functional MRI, magnetic stimulation, and focused ultrasound. MiniCircle plasmid gene therapy with folistatin, VEGF, and Klotho, including what Klotho actually shifted for him around cognition and vitality. Twenty years of red light, lasers, and pulsed electromagnetic work. A five day neuroscience protocol at 40 Years of Zen that he says compresses decades of meditation into a week. And why lavender essential oil, eight hour sleep targets, and the idea that you are simply lazy may all be doing more harm than good.
This is an educational conversation for anyone exploring what regenerative medicine, gene therapy, and energy work could look like when they are layered together with intention. If you are weighing where to start, this is a grounded place to listen.

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.

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.

Most red light therapy devices look impressive, but many do not deliver meaningful results. The real difference comes down to power, depth, and how the body actually responds at the cellular level.
In this episode of the Regeneration Effect Podcast, Dr. Yi and Lee Weinstein break down what truly matters when choosing a red light therapy device. They explain why irradiance, not marketing claims, determines effectiveness, and how most low-power devices fall below the therapeutic threshold. You will also hear how red light interacts with mitochondria, supports ATP production, and why timing matters for outcomes like fat metabolism and recovery.
This conversation also explores practical applications, from collagen support and joint health to immune modulation and recovery from minor injuries. The discussion blends modern biophysics with a deeper understanding of how the body restores balance, aligning with both Western science and traditional healing principles.
If you are considering red light therapy, this episode offers a grounded, evidence-based perspective to help you make informed decisions.

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.

Western medicine and Eastern medicine are often treated as competing systems, but the real difference is philosophical, not technical. In this conversation, Dr. Yi Song explains why Western medicine focuses on isolated molecules and symptoms, while Eastern medicine views the body as an interconnected system that must stay in balance to prevent disease.
Using clear analogies like gardens, irrigation systems, and forests versus trees, Dr. Song explains how imbalances can quietly build long before symptoms appear. When circulation, detoxification, or systemic flow becomes blocked, chronic conditions such as autoimmune disease or cancer may develop over time.
This discussion explores prevention, root cause medicine, and why addressing imbalance early can change long term health outcomes. It offers a grounded explanation for viewers who want a clearer understanding of how Eastern and Western medical systems actually differ, without hype or oversimplification.
