How To Activate Your Stem Cells For Healing & Anti-Aging

On this podcast, Faraz Khan interviews stem cell expert Christian Drapeau on the power of stem cells, and how to activate your own stem cells for faster healing, regeneration and anti-aging.

Christian holds a Master’s degree from McGill University in Neurophysiology, he is the author of several articles in the field of epileptogenesis and then later in the field of stem cell research, specifically on a new therapeutic approach called “Endogenous Stem Cell Mobilization”, as well as the best-seller “Cracking the Stem Cell Code”.

He created and developed the concept of “stem cell enhancer” as well as the first natural product supporting the natural role of stem cells in the body. He has been director of Research and Development for many companies, he is now the founder and CEO for Kalyagen, where he developed the product Stemregen.

How Christian Drapeau Got Into Stem Cell Research

Started in 1994, worked on blue green algae
Wanted to discover benefits in the body from algae
The plant was improving heart conditions, brain conditions and more
Found that the stem cells were responsible for a broad set of benefits
This algae helps release stem cells from the bone marrow into the blood

What Do Stem Cells Do In The Body?

Christian believes stem cells are the cornerstone of health
Stem cells function as a repair system
When there is an injury, then stem cells are released from bone marrow into affected tissue
Stem cells convert to cells in the injured tissue and replace those cells to heal the body
Stem cells also migrate to every organ in your body to enable tissue renewal
Red marrow transforms into yellow marrow and conversion happens quickly in early life
There are ways to mobilize and activate your stem cells to heal your body and stay younger

What Are The Different Types Of Stem Cells?

Embryonic stem cells are present in the early embryo…8-10 days old.
They’re called totipotent – which can be anything in the body
Placental stem cells are adult stem cells
Hematopeotic stem cells make all the blood cells
Mesenchymal stem cells can become any tissue in the body
vCells – are more potent and can become anything in the body.
vCells can come from muscle or bone marrow

Difference Between Tissue Specific Stem Cells vs. Stem Cells In Blood

There are resident stem cells in every tissue
But there are not enough stem cells in that niche to fully repair after a heart attack or a skin cut
But when there are additional stem cells in circulation, these circulating stem cells can replenish tissues that have been overused
This is why it’s important to activate your stem cells for good results

Are There Enough Stem Cells In Bone Marrow Or Can We Run Out Of Those Too?

Over years, red marrow shrinks and can turn into yellow marrow
This is called conversion
The number of stem cells that can release bone marrow can vary significantly
If you get your bone marrow to release more stem cells, you are not in danger of running out of stem cells

Can Stem Cells Treat Chronic Long Term Injuries?

Sometimes you have long term injuries, the muscle or tissue can partially heal but does not heal fully
If you can reactivate the injury and also release stem cells at the same time, the chronic injury can heal significantly

How Do People Mobilize & Activate Stem Cells Differently?

As you age, your stem cells are not as effective
However, people get good benefits even at 80
If you can get umbilical cord stem cells, then that is great for you
Stress reduces ability to mobilize and repair
Good and deep sleep is very important
Smoking reduces stem cells, so does alcohol
Systemic inflammation also reduces ability of stem cells to mobilize – add pigments to your diet

How Did Christian Find Ingredients For His Supplement?

Investigated literature to find plants that support release of bone marrow
35-60% increase in stem cells from these products that Christian developed
Christian believes that putting more stem cells in circulation is great for you
