Conversations Unplugged
with Cheyenne Welton
Seven years ago, Cheyenne Welton says she woke up feeling as though she had aged 10 years overnight. After dealing with undiagnosed Lyme disease, living in a moldy home, and later developing autoimmune conditions, she began looking at longevity from a very different perspective. Her goal was not simply to look younger, but to understand how her environment, daily routines, and internal health could influence how she felt over time. In this conversation with STEMREGEN Founder and Chief Science Officer Christian Drapeau, Cheyenne shares the practices that became central to rebuilding her health and the lessons she now brings to her clients.

Her approach begins with the environment. Cheyenne emphasizes paying attention to potential mold exposure, getting natural light to support circadian rhythms, and creating consistent morning routines. She also focuses on the quality of the water she drinks, using distilled water and a vortex-style device as part of her own routine. Before adding more interventions, she believes it is important to first look at the surroundings and everyday inputs that may be placing unnecessary stress on the body.
That philosophy also shapes the way Cheyenne works with clients. Rather than assuming everyone needs the same longevity routine, she starts by asking what someone is trying to improve. Mental clarity, energy, sleep, physical recovery, and maintaining muscle with age may each call for a different approach. Her background in nursing also influences how she thinks about longevity. She recalls watching patients decline after losing mobility and muscle, reinforcing for her the importance of maintaining strength and physical function as people get older.
For Cheyenne, starting early is one of the most important lessons. Her own health challenges pushed her into the longevity world long before aging itself became her primary concern, and that experience changed the way she thinks about prevention. Instead of waiting until health, energy, or physical function begins to decline, she encourages people to understand their environment, establish supportive routines, and become active participants in their health while they still feel well. It is a philosophy that closely mirrors Christian’s opening observation: longevity is not only about trying to regain what has been lost, but finding ways to preserve the health you have today for decades to come.
