My guest for this episode, Dr. Harry Adelson, is an expert on stem cell injections. He knows all about using stem cell injections to treat chronic musculoskeletal pain. Harry has performed over 4,000 procedures, making him one of the world's true experts on this subject. His innovative approach involves injecting a blend of stem cells into an injured place, allowing the body miraculously heal itself. He'll explain how this works on today's show.

Sanjay Sabnani is here today to explain the difference between "the listener" and what we identify as "the self." Close your eyes and picture a woman you deeply care about. Maybe this is your best friend, sister, mother, or daughter. Now, imagine speaking to her the way you speak to yourself, criticizing her appearance and diminishing her worth. There's no doubt that putting down others feels wrong, so why do we do it to ourselves? Listen to the conversation to hear how Sanjay has been inspired to break through and discover a deeper truth, and learn from his experiences.
