Whole body health and longevity doesn’t come from just one habit or therapy—it’s the combination of many intentional actions that create your lasting vitality. Combining healthy eating habits, reducing stress, and exercising more increases your chances for better health. Health optimization works best when you combine multiple approaches. Improving your stem cell function is no different. Combining other evidence-backed therapies that enhance stem cells with STEMREGEN products can amplify your body’s ability to repair and thrive. This “stacking” approach leverages multiple biohacks for maximum support of your stem cells.
In this article, we’ll explore powerful practices and stacking therapies that, when combined with STEMREGEN products, can help you tap into the full potential of your body’s innate repair system and enhance your stem cell support.
PEMF Therapy (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy)
PEMF devices use electromagnetic fields to stimulate cellular activity, which can enhance the function of stem cells. Research suggests that PEMF may help with the migration and differentiation of stem cells, increasing their ability to repair damaged tissues. PEMF also supports circulation, ensuring that stem cells effectively reach the areas where they are needed most. By pairing PEMF with STEMREGEN products, you can help guide the newly released stem cells to their target destinations, optimizing their regenerative effects.
"PEMF has been well documented to boost stem cells," states Christian Drapeau.
Drapeau, founder of STEMREGEN, explains PEMF in his appearance on “The Gabby Reece Show”. Listen to what he says about PEMF and stem cells in the clip below.

Cold Plunges: Cryotherapy & Ice Baths
Cold exposure stimulates the release of norepinephrine, which has been shown to reduce inflammation and improve circulation. Additionally, cold therapy may support stem cell mobilization by creating mild stress on the body, triggering the release of stem cells, an adaptive response that promotes tissue repair. Cold plunges work well with STEMREGEN products by reducing systemic inflammation, which helps stem cells function more efficiently and migrate to damaged areas more effectively.
Red Light Therapy
Photobiomodulation (PBM), commonly known as red light therapy, is a non-thermal and non-invasive treatment that utilizes light in the red to near-infrared spectrum (600 to 1,000 nm) to influence cellular activity. Research indicates that PBM can stimulate mesenchymal stem cell proliferation and differentiation, which are crucial to tissue repair throughout the body. By promoting these cellular functions, PBM enhances the body's natural repair mechanisms, offering promising applications in various therapeutic contexts
Fasting (Including Intermittent & Extended Fasting)
Fasting has been widely studied for its ability to increase cellular autophagy, reduce oxidative stress, and enhance the body’s innate repair system. Research shows that a three-day fast can significantly boost stem cell regeneration, making it an effective way to complement STEMREGEN products. Many ancient civilizations, like the Chinese and Ayurvedic Indians, practiced some form of fasting to bring about physical and mental health. Fasting creates a low-energy state in which your body prioritizes activating new, healthy stem cells while clearing out old, damaged ones. This amplifies the effects of STEMREGEN, which is already designed to increase circulating stem cells. Watch the clip below to hear Drapeau discuss the impact fasting has on stem cells.

Intense Exercise
Regular exercise has been shown to enhance the body's natural repair mechanisms by increasing the number of circulating stem cells. According to research, intense physical activity prompts the release of stem cells from the bone marrow to aid in muscle repair. This natural response accelerates tissue regeneration and contributes to overall vitality. Furthermore, studies from institutions like Stanford University have demonstrated that consistent exercise can rejuvenate aging stem cells, thereby improving tissue repair and promoting healthier aging.
Can your mind and your thinking also impact your stem cells?
It turns out that the mind may be as vital to cellular health as any cutting-edge supplement or therapy. Research suggests that meditation, visualization, and even your thoughts and beliefs don’t just shape perception—they may actively influence the body’s ability to support stem cells, blurring the line between biology and belief.
New research suggests that meditation may enhance the body's natural ability to support and mobilize stem cells by reducing stress-related inflammation and promoting cellular repair. A study published in the International Journal of Research in Medical Sciences highlights how mindfulness practices can lower cortisol levels, improve immune function, and create an internal environment that supports stem cell activity. Meditation has been linked to increased brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels and other regenerative compounds that aid in tissue repair and longevity. By reducing oxidative stress and fostering a state of deep relaxation, meditation may provide an indirect but powerful way to support the body’s innate repair system.
The Placebo & Nocebo Effect and the Mind’s Role in Healing
The placebo effect has long fascinated researchers. Clinical trials consistently show that some people who receive placebo treatments— “believing” they are getting an actual drug or therapy—experience real physical improvements. This isn’t just a psychological trick; it’s an undeniable biological response. Studies have shown measurable changes in placebo recipients' brain activity, neurotransmitter levels, and even immune system function.
The Nocebo Effect is the flip side of the Placebo Effect—instead of positive expectations leading to tangible health improvements, negative “beliefs”, “thoughts”, and “fears” can cause physical symptoms to worsen. The Nocebo Effect research has found that negative expectations about a treatment or condition can lead to worse symptoms or heightened side effects. So when test subjects are told headaches are a side effect of their treatment–some report headaches even when they are just taking a sugar pill. Harvard Medical School research highlights how this phenomenon isn’t just psychological; it triggers measurable changes in the body, including increased stress hormones, heightened pain perception, and even worsened side effects from treatments. Research published in the Journal of Neuroscience suggests that the brain’s expectation of harm can activate pain pathways and inflammatory responses, proving that our “thoughts” and “emotions” play a crucial role in our well-being. Just as belief in healing can activate the body’s repair mechanisms, fear and doubt can trigger stress responses, inflammation, and even physical decline, proving that the mind can be a powerful force in shaping health.
If the mind can produce tangible health benefits simply through belief, what else might it be capable of? The connection between consciousness and biology is still being explored. However, emerging research suggests that mindset, visualization, and even directed intention might play a role in processes like stem cell activation. Could we someday discover that we’re actually able to guide our own stem cells with our thoughts? While the scientific evidence isn’t fully there yet, there are countless stories of people recovering against all odds—often using mental techniques—which hints at the possibility that our mind can impact our physical bodies.
Listen to Christian on Dave Asprey’s podcast, “The Human Upgrade”, as he shares one of those remarkable healing stories highlighting the powerful connection between the mind and stem cells. Hear the full story in the clip below.

Conclusion: Why Stack Other Therapies with STEMREGEN?
Supporting your stem cells isn’t about relying on just one solution—it’s about combining science-backed strategies to maximize their potential. STEMREGEN products have been clinically tested to enhance stem cell release and function, but when paired with complementary therapies like PEMF, red light therapy, cold plunges, fasting, and meditation, the benefits can be even greater. Research continues to show that stacking multiple approaches can create a synergistic effect, amplifying the body’s innate repair system and promoting long-term vitality. By integrating these proven methods, you’re not just boosting stem cells—you’re optimizing your body’s ability to recover, perform, and thrive.
