What if the secret to living to 250 was simply sitting in the garden?

In this episode, Dave sits down with Christian Drapeau, a leading expert in stem cell science, to explore the plants and natural practices that could unlock extreme longevity. From goji berries to reishi mushrooms, these age-old remedies do more than nourish—they activate your body’s innate repair system, boosting stem cells and accelerating healing.

Christian dives into the fascinating stories behind these plants, their ancient origins, and how modern science is proving their power to extend life.
