In this episode, Joshua sits down with Christian Drapeau, the scientist behind STEMREGEN, to break down the real science of stem cell mobilization, why stem cells are your body’s primary repair system, and why most people misunderstand how recovery actually works. Christian explains the discovery he made more than 20 years ago, how plant compounds can increase circulating stem cells, and why this matters for athletes, aging, inflammation, chronic issues, and everyday wear and tear. Joshua shares his own recovery stories, including how STEMREGEN helped him bounce back from plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, and even the early stages of rhabdomyolysis. The two discuss skepticism, clinical data, real-world cases, and how to properly “front-load” your system to get the most from your body’s innate repair mechanisms.
This is a high-level, honest, and accessible conversation about what actually supports repair, performance, and longevity.

5 KEY TAKEAWAYS
1. Stem cells are the body’s primary repair system—every injury, micro-trauma, and age-related decline involves stem cell activity.
2. STEMREGEN is a stem cell mobilizer, not stem cells themselves, and increases circulating stem cells within 1–3 hours.
3. Skepticism is normal, but both clinical data and real-world cases consistently show faster recovery when stem cells are mobilized.
4. Stacking modalities amplifies repair—PEMF, red light, grounding, and nutrition all work better when more stem cells are available.
5. Front-loading is key—higher doses for 30 days help the body catch up on accumulated repair needs before switching to maintenance.
