In this episode of the Biohacker's Podcast, Teemu Arina, curator of the Hololife Summit, interviews Christian Drapeau, stem cell researcher and CEO of STEMREGEN.

They dive into the emerging science of adult stem cells as a self-repair mechanism in the body, comparing it to the immune system. Christian explains that when injury or damage occurs, adult stem cells are released from the bone marrow, travel through the bloodstream, and contribute to tissue regeneration throughout the body.

The conversation covers the synergy between stem cell activity and mitochondrial health, particularly focusing on NAD+ and energy metabolism. Christian highlights the difference between natural, daily enhancement of stem cell release through plant-based supplements versus one-time injections—which carry risks such as contamination or genetic instability. The episode also details STEMREGEN’s proprietary blends and ingredients designed to support stem cell release, circulation, and function. Christian discusses clinical results, dietary synergies (like seaweed, omega‑3s, and polyphenols), and a daily protocol aimed at optimizing repair, reducing inflammation, and promoting longevity from within.

Christian and Teemu explore how lifestyle factors, nutrition, and targeted supplementation can naturally enhance stem cell release, migration, and function - without risky or expensive stem cell injections. Christian shares details on STEMREGEN’s formulations, including plant-based ingredients like fucoidan, aloe macroclada, and green tea polyphenols, and outlines a practical daily protocol for activating the body's self-renewing systems.

In this episode of the Biohacker's Podcast, Teemu Arina is joined by Silver Laus to discuss the history of Estonia's resilient people and how the country's beautiful and potent nature helped them along the way.

Silver Laus is one of the leading voices in the functional mushroom space, combining deep knowledge of ancient fungal wisdom with the latest scientific advancements to help people live stronger, healthier, and more vibrant lives.

Estonia's unique position at the crossroads of northern Europe shaped its character through centuries of struggle. According to Laus, this small Baltic nation's history is deeply intertwined with Viking culture, an aspect many outsiders overlook.

This resilience manifested in the nation's relationship with nature. While Christianity swept through Europe, condemning practices like sauna use, Estonians maintained their traditional knowledge and connection to the forest.

As the CEO of Shroomwell, one of the world’s premier mycotechnology companies, Silver Laus has been instrumental in pioneering potent extraction methods, creating high-performance mushroom supplements, and shaping a global wellness brand rooted in wholesome principles.

Shroomwell's approach to mushroom cultivation blends ancient wisdom with cutting-edge techniques. Rather than harvesting exclusively from wild sources, the company has developed sustainable farming methods that mimic natural stressors while increasing yield.
