Regenerative medicine is shifting the paradigm from treating symptoms to actually curing the body through cellular repair. In this episode, stem cell scientist and neurophysiologist Christian Drapeau reveals how your body’s own stem cells hold the key to longevity, healing chronic pain, and reversing aging.

While most people associate stem cells with controversial embryonic research or expensive injections, Christian explains that your body naturally produces them—you just need to know how to activate them. He breaks down the science of endogenous stem cell mobilization, explaining how specific lifestyle choices and plant compounds can release your own repair cells from your bone marrow into your bloodstream.

This episode covers:

  • The Aging Equation: Why aging is simply a balance between cellular loss and cellular replacement
  • Natural Mobilization: How to boost stem cells without injections using fasting and plant-based polyphenols
  • Stem Cell Killers: How chronic stress and cortisol suppress your body's ability to repair itself
  • The Truth About Injections: The difference between umbilical cord stem cells and your own biological repair system
  • Regenerative Science: Understanding the shift from palliative care to curative medicine


This podcast is for biohackers, chronic pain sufferers, and anyone interested in the frontiers of longevity science who wants to understand how to heal their body from the inside out.
