You can lift, grind, and “do everything right” and still feel like your body is stuck in quicksand. That is the space we explore with Dr. Ben Kosubevsky from Longevity Center, where chronic inflammation, joint degeneration, and brain fog are treated like solvable puzzles instead of life sentences.

We talk regenerative medicine in plain English, including what most people call “stem cells” and why the reality is often MSC signaling cells plus growth factors, cytokines, and proteins. Dr. Ben breaks down why he uses different tools for different targets, from placenta tissue allograft injections for osteoarthritis and joint injuries to IV stem cells for whole-body support. We also get into how he evaluates instability around a joint, why that matters for meniscus and ligament wear, and what precision-guided injections can look like, including sedation and in-office arthroscopy.

Then we widen the lens to functional medicine root causes: genetics, environmental toxins, heavy metals, mold, parasites, Lyme disease, and Epstein-Barr virus reactivation. Dr. Ben explains EBOO ozone therapy as a blood filtering process designed to reduce inflammatory load, and he shares how testing like urine provocation can uncover heavy metals that standard bloodwork may miss. We close with recovery and performance, including peptides like BPC-157 and TB-500, and a look ahead at genetics-guided treatment and future CRISPR-style gene editing.
