About this episode

How do you activate your body’s natural repair system? How can you hack stem cells for faster recovery, brain optimization, and peak human performance? This episode reveals how to trigger stem cell release, direct them to the right tissues, and stack biohacking tools for maximum regeneration. You’ll learn science-backed strategies for boosting mitochondria, enhancing neuroplasticity, and extending longevity through targeted supplements, fasting, and functional medicine techniques.

Host Dave Asprey talks with Christian Drapeau, a leading stem cell scientist and founder of STEMREGEN. Christian’s decades of research have transformed our understanding of how stem cells repair the body, reverse damage, and amplify performance. He shares practical protocols to mobilize stem cells, improve microcirculation, and reduce inflammation so your body heals faster, functions better, and stays younger for longer. 


You’ll learn: 

• How stem cells rebuild muscle, brain, and organ tissue for optimal human performance 

• Why fasting rejuvenates bone marrow and increases stem cell effectiveness 

• The synergy between PEMF, vibration therapy, cold therapy, and stem cell activation 

• How microcirculation and inflammation control improve longevity and recovery 

• The best supplements and nutrients to support mitochondria and stem cell health 

• How to stack nootropics, ketosis, and brain optimization tools for lasting energy and focus 


This is essential listening for anyone serious about biohacking, longevity, human performance, mitochondria health, neuroplasticity, functional medicine, fasting protocols, supplements for recovery, brain optimization, smarter not harder healing, metabolism upgrades, cold therapy stacks, and next-level physical and cognitive resilience
