Mindsip insights from this episode:
Regenerate bone marrow through fasting
Fasting is one of the only known ways to regenerate bone marrow, which increases the ability of your stem cells to migrate and multiply, making them act younger.
Implement three keys to optimize stem cell healing
For stem cells to work effectively, you need to 1) release them, 2) ensure they can travel via good microcirculation, and 3) reduce systemic inflammation so they can find their target.
Avoid overtraining to preserve stem cell healing potential
Constant, intense exercise may not lead to better longevity because you use up your stem cell healing potential on countless micro-injuries rather than systemic repair.
Train your bone marrow to enhance stem cell release
The more you trigger your body to release stem cells, the better and more efficient your bone marrow becomes at releasing them over time.
Reduce sugar intake to enhance stem cell function
Chronically elevated blood sugar creates advanced glycation end-products (AGEs) that suppress both the release and the function of your body's stem cells.
Utilize vibration plates to boost circulating stem cells
Sitting on a whole-body vibration plate can increase the number of circulating stem cells, likely by mechanically detaching them from the bone marrow.
Stack PEMF with stem cells for enhanced healing
Taking a stem cell-releasing supplement like Stemregen two hours before a PEMF session creates a powerful synergy, as PEMF helps pool the extra stem cells in the targeted area.
Recognize 500-fold variation in circulating stem cells among individuals
The number of circulating stem cells can vary by 500-fold between individuals, a much wider range of physiological normalcy than any other blood marker.
