In this episode of the Peak Performance Podcast, Coach Kyle and Dr. K dive into alternative and lesser-known uses for stem cell therapy beyond the common joint and IV injections. From reversing tinnitus to helping with cognitive decline and even improving certain vision conditions — they cover how regenerative medicine is unlocking new possibilities.

Dr. K breaks down how targeted stem cell injections near the ears, nose, and eyes can support healing in ways traditional medicine can’t. If you’ve ever been curious about what stem cells can really do for your brain, hearing, or vision — this episode gives you the inside scoop.

• Ear Injections for Tinnitus & Hearing Loss: Especially effective for noise-induced damage; approximately 60–70% success rate.
• Nasal Injections for Brain Health: Targets the olfactory nerve and delivers stem cells directly to inflamed or damaged areas of the brain.
• Conditions It May Support: Post-stroke, traumatic brain injury (TBI), Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and general cognitive decline.
• Eye Injections for Vision Support: Shown to improve scarring, glaucoma, and macular degeneration (in some cases up to 90% satisfaction rate).
• Not All Stem Cells Are Equal: Dr. K prefers whole MSCs (mesenchymal stem cells) over exosomes for these uses.
• Caution on Unsafe Practices: Avoid direct eye injections unless done by trained ophthalmologists — risks are high and outcomes unpredictable.

In this episode, Coach Kyle opens up about his personal journey through depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation — despite living what appeared to be a "perfect" life. Joined by producer Jackson, they explore the deep connection between mental and physical health, including the role of testosterone, detox, and daily habits in transforming emotional well-being.

Kyle shares the critical turning points in his journey, how low testosterone and heavy metals were silently hijacking his mental clarity, and the practical steps he took to reclaim his health — physically, mentally, and spiritually. If you or someone you know is struggling with their mental health, this episode is a must-listen.

• Mental health isn’t always caused by trauma. Sometimes it's rooted in hormonal or biochemical imbalances.
• Testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) was a major turning point that lifted Kyle out of deep depression within days.
• Chelation therapy (heavy metal detox) significantly improved brain fog, mood, and overall energy.
• Spiritual health and daily habits like sauna, faith, movement, and connection all play a role in sustained well-being.
• Start with the basics: sleep, movement, water, clean eating, and blood work before diving into complex solutions.
• Physical health lays the foundation for doing deeper mental and emotional work — not the other way around.
