Today, I'm joined by Christian Drapeau, a visionary pioneer in stem cell science and the mind behind the concept of endogenous stem cell mobilization. Christian's journey takes us from his days as a neurophysiology researcher, wrestling with questions about memory and consciousness, to a life-changing pivot into plant medicine—ultimately leading to groundbreaking work with stem cell–mobilizing botanicals like blue-green algae and sea buckthorn.

In our conversation, Christian explains how the body's innate repair system slows down dramatically with age, and why many of the answers we're seeking in regenerative health might actually be within our own biology. We dive into the latest science on harnessing your body's own stem cells for healing—covering everything from muscle recovery and brain support to remarkable outcomes in heart failure, Parkinson's, and beyond.
