    Fasting, Focus, and Stem Cell Repair with Christian Drapeau

    In this episode of Simply Walk The Talk, Joshua Holland meets Christian Drapeau in New York City for a conversation that starts with smoothies and fasting, then moves into brain focus, sensory overload, stem cell mobilization, and the body’s natural repair system. Christian explains why fasting can create sharper mental energy, how the reticular activating system helps the brain filter noise, and why supporting the body’s own stem cell release may be one of the most practical ways to improve repair, recovery, and resilience. They also discuss STEMREGEN, misconceptions about stem cells in capsules, stem cell injections versus endogenous stem cell mobilization, aging, inflammation, microcirculation, and what may be coming next in the world of targeted stem cell support. 5 Key Takeaways 1. Fasting may help the body shift into clearer, more efficient energy. 2. The brain filters constant sensory input through systems like the RAS. 3. STEMREGEN does not contain stem cells; it supports the release of the body’s own stem cells. 4. Stem cell mobilization may support repair, recovery, and healthy aging. 5. Lifestyle still matters: stress, movement, circulation, and inflammation all affect how repair happens. Featured Product STEMREGEN supports the release of your own adult stem cells, your body’s natural repair system. Christian Drapeau explains that STEMREGEN is not a stem cell capsule. It is a plant-based formula designed to help mobilize stem cells from the bone marrow into circulation, where the body can use them for repair and recovery. https://stemregen.co/josh Use code JOSH to save 15%.

    The Reset That Helped My Brother Lose 28 Pounds in 3 Weeks

    In this personal episode of Simply Walk The Talk, Joshua sits down with his brother, Mario, for a raw conversation about grief, stress, health, and the kind of wake-up call that can change a life. They reflect on how Mario’s first trip to New York shifted his perspective years ago, and how a recent ProLon reset became another turning point at exactly the right time. Mario opens up about the emotional weight of losing their father, the stress of law enforcement, self-isolation, emotional eating, and the spiral that led him back near his heaviest weight. Together, the brothers unpack how habits form during hard seasons, how hard it can be to interrupt those patterns, and why sometimes it takes someone close to step in and help create momentum. They also talk through Mario’s experience using the ProLon fasting mimicking diet, what changed physically and mentally in just a few weeks, and how that reset helped him build a new sense of discipline, energy, and hope. This is an honest conversation about brotherhood, accountability, grief, and choosing to fight for a better future while there is still time. 5 Key Takeaways Sometimes one decisive nudge can change the trajectory of a person’s life.Grief, chronic stress, and self-isolation can quietly fuel destructive health patterns.A reset can be about much more than weight loss; it can restore energy, mood, and momentum.Accountability from family can be uncomfortable, but it can also be life-giving.Real change often begins when someone decides they are done repeating the same cycle. ProLon Fasting Mimicking Diet https://prolonlife.com/JOSHUA use code: JOSH10 This episode centers around Mario’s experience using ProLon as a structured reset during a difficult season. Joshua shares why he believed the kit would be a good fit, how the fasting mimicking diet works, and why it can help people interrupt unhealthy routines without doing a strict water fast. Mario explains how the reset helped him identify food triggers, improve his energy, and build a healthier rhythm moving forward. If you want to learn more about ProLon, Joshua mentions that he has used it himself and has seen how powerful it can be as a starting point for change.

    Why Your Feet May Be the Key to Movement and Longevity

    In this episode, Joshua sits down with Dr. Emily Splichal, functional podiatrist, founder of Noboso, and author of Sensory Sapiens, for a conversation about feet, sensation, movement, and the deeper role sensory awareness plays in longevity. They explore how Dr. Emily’s work has evolved from Barefoot Strong into a much broader philosophy: that feet are not just biomechanical structures, but powerful sensory gateways that influence how we move, balance, feel, and connect to ourselves. Together, they discuss foot strength, body schema, interoception, movement quality, and why sensory stimulation may be one of the most overlooked aspects of health and performance. This conversation also gets practical. Dr. Emily shares how to begin reconnecting with the feet, what people can notice immediately by standing barefoot with intention, and why better movement starts with better awareness. If you care about movement, balance, presence, aging well, or understanding the body on a deeper level, this episode delivers. Key Takeaways  • Feet are not just structural; they are deeply sensory  • Better sensory awareness can improve movement quality and body control  • Taking off your shoes helps, but intentional foot training matters more  • Body schema plays a major role in performance, aging, and injury prevention  • Longevity is not just about quantity of movement, but quality and presence Featured Product STEMREGEN This episode is a reminder that longevity is not built through one single habit. It comes from how well the body senses, adapts, repairs, and responds over time. That’s one reason STEMREGEN continues to fit so naturally into this broader conversation. STEMREGEN supports the release of your body’s own adult stem cells—your built-in repair system. Whether the focus is resilience, recovery, mobility, or long-term function, repair capacity matters. https://Stemregen.co/josh Use code JOSH to save 15% on your order.

    Why I Keep Coming Back to ProLon

    In this solo episode, Joshua checks in from the middle of his fifth ProLon fasting mimicking cycle and explains why this protocol continues to be one of his favorite tools for resetting both body and mind. He breaks down what it feels like to move through the five-day process, why it has become easier each time, and how fasting mimicking helps him create more clarity, more discipline, and better awareness around food, habits, and energy. Joshua also shares how tools like the Hume Health Body Pod help him understand what is really happening inside his body beyond just the number on the scale. Along the way, he talks about creeping up to his heaviest weight, the role of stress eating and habit eating, and why this reset arrived at exactly the right time. He also shares why he decided to buy a kit for his brother so they could go through it together, and how that experience is inspiring him to create a more accessible version of this kind of reset for his own community in the future. This episode is a practical, honest look at ProLon, body awareness, and the deeper mindset shift that comes from pressing reset with intention. Key Takeaways A reset can be as much mental as it is physicalBetter awareness leads to better choices around food and habitsWeight loss is only one part of the story; body composition matters tooFasting mimicking can help interrupt patterns without requiring extreme measuresSupport and community make change more sustainable Featured Product ProLon ProLon is a five-day fasting mimicking program designed to help support a reset without requiring a full water-only fast. Joshua has now used it multiple times and continues to come back to it because it helps him create clarity, tighten his habits, and reconnect with what his body actually needs.

    WORTH REVISITING: The Truth About Stem Cells with Christian Drapeau

    WORTH REVISITING: One of our most popular conversations on recovery and repair. This week on Simply Walk the Talk, we’re revisiting a powerful conversation between Joshua Holland and stem cell researcher Christian Drapeau, the scientist behind STEMREGEN. The discussion explores the real science of stem cell mobilization, why stem cells act as the body’s primary repair system, and why recovery often depends on factors most people overlook. Christian explains the discovery he made more than two decades ago and how specific plant compounds can increase circulating stem cells. The conversation explores why this matters for athletes, aging, inflammation, chronic issues, and everyday wear and tear. Joshua also shares his own recovery experiences, including how STEMREGEN supported his return from plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendinopathy, and even the early stages of rhabdomyolysis. Together they discuss skepticism, clinical data, real-world cases, and how properly “front-loading” the system can help the body access its natural repair mechanisms more effectively. This remains one of the most practical conversations on recovery, resilience, and the body’s ability to repair itself. STEMREGEN supports the release of your own adult stem cells—your body’s natural repair system. Developed from two decades of research, this plant-based formula helps increase circulating stem cells within hours, supporting recovery, tissue repair, and systemic resilience. Shop STEMREGEN: https://stemregen.co/josh Use CODE: JOSH to save 15 percent. 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS Stem cells are the body’s primary repair system—every injury, micro-trauma, and age-related decline involves stem cell activity.STEMREGEN is a stem cell mobilizer, not stem cells themselves, and increases circulating stem cells within 1–3 hours.Skepticism is normal, but both clinical data and real-world cases consistently show faster recovery when stem cells are mobilized.Stacking modalities amplifies repair—PEMF, red light, grounding, and nutrition all work better when more stem cells are available.Front-loading is key—higher doses for 30 days help the body catch up on accumulated repair needs before switching to maintenance.
