Conversations Unplugged
with Dave Asprey
Dave Asprey has undergone stem cell procedures on his shoulder, spine, joints, fingers, face, hair, and more. But after years of experimenting with some of the most advanced approaches to regeneration, his attention has shifted to a fundamental question: what happens when you pair those procedures with more of your body’s own circulating stem cells? In this conversation with STEMREGEN Founder and Chief Science Officer Christian Drapeau, Dave shares how he is combining STEMREGEN with stem cell procedures, infrared light, and other biohacking technologies in his ongoing pursuit of better healing and longevity.

Dave explains that while many people assume injected stem cells simply become new tissue, the picture is more complex. In his view, introduced stem cells can migrate toward areas of inflammation and release factors associated with the healing response, while the body’s own stem cells remain important to the formation of new tissue. That distinction is why he sees STEMREGEN as a natural complement to the stem cell procedures he undergoes. His approach is to support his own circulating stem cells before, during, and after a procedure, with the goal of having more of the body’s natural repair resources available during that critical window.
The conversation then moves into Dave’s broader approach to biohacking, where regeneration becomes something that can be layered with other technologies. He describes combining STEMREGEN with infrared light, pulsed electromagnetic frequencies, and other forms of targeted tissue stimulation. His thinking is straightforward: first support the availability of stem cells and mitochondrial function, then create focused stimulation in the tissue you want to influence. Whether he is thinking about a joint, muscle, nerve, or even hair, Dave is interested in bringing together multiple approaches around one central idea: give the body more of the resources it naturally uses to respond and repair.
For Dave, this makes stem cell support a foundational part of the longevity conversation. After years of undergoing a wide range of stem cell procedures himself, he continues to look for ways to integrate the body’s own regenerative capacity into everything he does. As he tells Christian, “Stemregen is a foundational longevity therapy.” It’s a perspective that shifts the focus from relying solely on what can be introduced into the body to asking a bigger question: how much more could be possible when we also support the repair system that has been there all along?
