Mind Body Detox Podcast
Mind Body Detox Podcast with Kara Lovehart: Where Science Meets Spirit for Holistic Wellness Welcome to the Mind Body Detox Podcast, hosted by Kara Lovehart, a Mind-Body Psychic Medium and Executive Intuitive Business Coach with over 20 years of experience in holistic wellness and intuitive practices.
This podcast bridges the gap between evidence-based science and spiritual wellness, offering a balanced exploration of mind, body, and spirit detoxification. In each episode, Kara invites leading experts from around the world to share insights on how we can detox from toxic substances, outdated beliefs, environmental stressors, and unhealthy habits that affect our physical, mental, and spiritual well-being.
From functional medicine and nutrition to cutting-edge research in mental health and consciousness studies, we dive into how our lifestyles, diets, and environmental choices impact our overall vitality.
Kara blends scientific inquiry with a grounded curiosity about intuitive practices, exploring energy medicine, holistic healing, and the unseen forces that shape our well-being. But it’s not all “woo”—this podcast welcomes skeptics and science lovers alike.
We tackle topics like functional nutrition, biohacking, neuroscience, and the latest in mind-body medicine, while also exploring spiritual growth and how we can shift our mindsets for greater self-awareness and healing.
If you're a wellness practitioner, empath, skeptic, or simply curious about improving your health, the Mind Body Detox Podcast offers grounded, practical tools to cleanse your body and mind while staying open to deeper layers of consciousness.
Together, we’ll transform outdated paradigms in health and well-being, helping you detox your life physically, mentally, and spiritually—one episode at a time.
Whether you’re drawn to holistic healing, or just looking for science-backed ways to optimize your wellness, this podcast has episodes for you.
And if you’re a potential guest on a mission to make an impact with expertise in functional medicine, nutrition, mental health, consciousness, or energy healing, we’d love to collaborate and share your insights.

[00:00:00] Introduction: What Is Regenerative Medicine?
HOST (Kara Lovehart): Dr. Jeffrey Gross, thank you for coming onto the Mind Body Detox Podcast. We’d love to start with your background and what led you into regenerative medicine and stem cell therapy.
GUEST (Dr. Jeffrey Gross): Thank you for having me. My journey was a bit of an accident inspired by my education and by my patients. I practiced traditional neurosurgery and spine care for over two decades. Patients kept returning saying injections didn’t help, therapies didn’t help, and they didn’t want more medication. They weren’t ready for surgery — and frankly, neither was I. So I revisited stem cell research, retrained, and transitioned into regenerative medicine. Now it’s nearly all that I do.
[00:02:30] Stem Cells Explained: How the Body Repairs Itself
HOST: For listeners who are new to this, what IS stem cell therapy?
GUEST: Stem cell therapy uses our biological blueprint for repair — how the body grows, restores, regenerates, and replaces tissues. These cells, growth factors, and exosomes stimulate the body’s natural ability to repair. Over time, environmental toxins, foods, EMFs, stress, and aging weaken cell function. Regenerative medicine reactivates that system.
[00:04:00] Exosomes: The “Business End” of Stem Cells
HOST: So stem cells are undifferentiated cells that can become any tissue, right?
GUEST: That’s Stem Cell 101. Adult mesenchymal stromal cells are multipotent and ready to respond like soldiers being called to the field. Even older adults still have them — they’re just less active. Exosomes, the tiny signaling vesicles produced by stem cells, do most of the therapeutic work. They can cross the blood–brain barrier and activate repair more readily.
[00:06:00] What Stem Cells Can Help With (and What They Can’t Claim)
HOST: What conditions can be helped by stem cell therapy?
GUEST: While I can’t make medical claims, research shows strong support for osteoarthritis, joint degeneration, spine issues, soft-tissue injury, autoimmune inflammation, and post-viral inflammatory syndromes. We’re seeing outcomes in musculoskeletal pain, long-haul inflammation, neurological inflammation, and aging-related degeneration. Results take 6–12 months but involve no downtime.
[00:07:30] Delivery Methods: Injection, IV, Nasal, and More
GUEST: Joint and structural issues require injection. Systemic inflammation or autoimmune symptoms respond to IV therapy. Exosomes can also be delivered nasally or via breathing treatments for lung issues. Topical “stem cell products” are generally ineffective — the skin is too strong a barrier.
[00:10:00] Myth-Busting: No, Stem Cells Don’t Come From Embryos
GUEST: A major misconception is that stem cells come from embryos. In the U.S., all regenerative biologics come from donated tissues from healthy C-section births — amniotic fluid, placenta, and umbilical cords that would otherwise be discarded. Everything is fully consented, screened, and processed in clean labs. No embryos. No ethical violations.
[00:12:00] Contraindications: Who Shouldn’t Get Stem Cells?
- Active cancer (unless using NK-cell-derived exosomes)
- Uncontrolled bleeding or heavy blood thinners
- Cases where injection isn’t safe
Otherwise, stem cell and exosome therapies have extremely low rejection risk. The cells are immunoprivileged and “naive,” meaning the body sees them as neutral.
[00:15:00] How the Body Signals Stem Cells to Repair
GUEST: The body releases peptides, chemokines, and growth factors when an area needs repair. These chemical signals “call in” stem cells. Research in peptide therapy is expanding rapidly because peptides help restore the signals we lose with age.
[00:18:00] Disc Degeneration & Joint Repair
Grades 3–4 (severe degeneration) require longer healing and sometimes multiple doses. New hydrogels with dual-type cartilage
