• Stem Cells Every Day vs. $10,000 Injections: What ACTUALLY Works? - Christian Drapeau

  What if your body’s greatest healer was already inside you, waiting to be switched on?Big Announcement: Check out the NEW FREE Beyond Tomorrow Community at skool.com/beyond-tomorrow!In this episode, stem cell scientist, author and STEMREGEN® founder Christian Drapeau shares three decades of research into the idea that adult stem cells are the body’s natural repair system - not science fiction, not just IV clinics for the elite, but a daily physiological reality. We explore how stem cells circulate to repair damaged tissues, why releasing more of your own stem cells could be a powerful lever for regeneration, and where this sits in relation to invasive stem cell therapies, celebrity biohacking, and the explosion of “miracle” products in the market. Christian breaks down the science in accessible language, walks us through his global search for plant compounds that support stem cell function, and explains how fasting, meditation, nitric-oxide-rich foods and microcirculation all intersect with the body’s repair capacity—while staying grounded in caution, evidence, and ethical responsibility.This episode is for anyone curious about stem cells, skeptical of snake oil, and ready to better understand how to work with (not against) their own biology. Nothing in this episode is medical advice; always speak to a qualified clinician before making decisions about treatments or supplements.📌 What You Will LearnHow Adult Stem Cells Act as the Body’s Repair SystemThe Difference Between Invasive Stem Cell Therapies and Daily Stem Cell MobilizationHow Certain Lifestyle Practices May Support Stem Cell Function (Fasting, Meditation, Movement)The Role of Microcirculation, Inflammation, and Nutrition in Tissue RepairHow Christian Discovered Plant-Based Compounds That Influence Stem Cell ReleaseHow to Think Critically About Hype, Marketing, and “Miracle” Regenerative ClaimsWhy Inner Work, Gratitude, and a Sense of Oneness May Matter for HealingWhat a “Heart-Led” Approach to Biohacking and Human Flourishing Looks Like⏱ Timestamps00:00 Intro – Rethinking the body as a repair system03:01 Christian’s journey from neuroscience to stem cell science08:45 Discovering that adult stem cells do more than make blood13:10 From blue-green algae to global plant research18:40 How daily stem cell release works in the body23:15 Non-invasive vs invasive stem cells: safety, use cases, and nuance29:05 Foods, fasting, nitric oxide, and microcirculation34:40 Meditation, mindset, and the nervous system’s role in repair41:22 Science meets spirituality: oneness, purpose, and healing48:10 Biohacking, ego, and the problem of snake oil54:30 A practical “perfect week” to support your repair system01:00:10 Why extending healthspan must serve something bigger01:04:30 A call to build a more conscious longevity movement🎙 Hosted by Julian Issa📸 Instagram: @thebeyondtomorrowpodcast🌐 Website: www.beyondtomorrowpodcast.com📩 Email: [email protected]🎧 Subscribe on Spotify, Apple, and YouTube for more conversations from the edge of what is possible.Episode ResourcesChristian Drapeau – www.stemregen.coSTEMREGEN® – Information on Christian’s stem cell supplement work (not medical advice or endorsement) Book: Cracking the Stem Cell CodeFor more context, resources, and upcoming events on longevity and human flourishing, visit: www.beyondtomorrowpodcast.com#thebeyondtomorrowpodcast #julianissa #christiandrapeau #stemcells #regeneration #longevity #humanflourishing

• How to Go from Pessimist to PEAK Performer: The Left/Right Brain Switch ANYONE Can Make - Sue Varma

  What if optimism wasn’t just a mindset but a daily act of strength and self-belief?In this episode, psychiatrist and author Dr. Sue Varma unpacks the science and soul of practical optimism, a philosophy that blends positivity with action, helping us move from wishful thinking to real change.

• The REAL Longevity Stack Revealed! - Siim Land on Human Immortality, Gene Editing, Biomarkers

  What if the real path to longevity is mastering fundamentals while measuring what matters? In this episode, recorded at Copenhagen Health Week, Siim Land - author, longevity educator, and anthropology graduate - breaks down a pragmatic roadmap to living longer and better. We get honest about diet debates, biomarkers, and what to do before you touch a single peptide or pharmaceutical.We cover why adaptation defines human health, how to use blood work and objective markers to see risk decades ahead, the case for sleep, movement, diet, and environment, and where rapamycin, metformin, and methylene blue actually fit.
