Short interview excerpt in which Dr. Joy Kong explains she follows a low-carbohydrate diet after discovering via a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) that her blood sugar spikes in response to carbohydrates (e.g., rice). The conversation also briefly asserts a preference for umbilical cord stem cells, noting they are 'neutral' regarding donor compatibility and described as superior in her view.
I'm just curious, what kind of diet do you eat?
I try to. Everybody's different. Of course, I found out that, well, first of all, high blood sugar is not good for anybody. Blood sugar spikes. It's not good for anybody but me in particular, as I found out later on from the CGM red continuous glucose monitor, is that my blood sugar responds to something like rice or any carbohydrates very drastically and not very good because.
It'S very sensitive. Carbohydrates.
Yeah.
Okay.
So I tried to eat a low carbohydrate diet. In every parameter. It shows that umbilical cord stem cells are way superior than the other stem cells.
And this. You're using umbilical stem cells.
Yeah.
And when you use umbilical stem cells, this issue with something like donor compatibility is not an issue because umbilical cells are kind of neutral.
Exactly.
And you don't get any of, like, Mom's DNA or anything like that in the umbilical cells.
Not from the umbilical cord.
