Aug 29, 2025

In this engaging conversation, Christian Drapeau—a pioneer in stem cell science—shares his remarkable journey from neurophysiology to exploring plant medicine. He reveals how aging impacts the body’s repair system and discusses groundbreaking findings on using blue-green algae for stem cell mobilization. The talk delves into the potential of stem cells for enhancing recovery, improving athletic performance, and even treating conditions like heart failure and Parkinson's. Christian emphasizes the untapped healing capacities within our biology that we can harness for better health.

INSIGHT

Plant Triggered Stem Cell Mobilization

Christian Drapeau discovered that AFA blue-green algae triggered stem cell release from bone marrow after lab counts confirmed it.
He validated the effect by sending concentrated extracts to clinicians who reported dramatic patient recoveries.

INSIGHT

Repair Capacity Drops With Marrow Conversion

Stem cell numbers and repair capacity decline sharply in early life as red marrow converts to fatty marrow.
Restoring circulating stem cells effectively returns older bodies to a younger repair capacity.

ADVICE

Use Fasting To Rejuvenate Stem Cells

Use periodic fasting to improve stem cell quality and autophagy; a three-day fast rejuvenates stem cell behavior.
Support autophagy with spermidine or similar measures yearly after age 40 for stem cell health.

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.
