Understanding Stem Cells: Regeneration, Repair & the Role of Hormones

In this conversation, Dr. Jaclyn Smeaton and Christian Drapeau delve into the fascinating world of stem cell research, exploring its evolution, the role of stem cells in tissue repair, and their impact on health span. Drapeau shares his journey into stem cell research and how hormonal balance and stress influence stem cell activity.  

This discussion also covers: 
- The potential of stem cells in regenerative medicine and the importance of maintaining a healthy lifestyle to support stem cell function 
- How lifestyle factors impact stem cell function  
- Promising results of stem cell therapies in fertility and overall health  
- STEMREGEN, which aims to enhance the body's natural repair mechanisms by increasing stem cell circulation  
- The importance of understanding stem cells not just as a treatment but as a fundamental aspect of health and longevity
