Conversations Unplugged
with Jessica and Brenda
Join STEMREGEN Founder and Chief Science Officer Christian Drapeau as he sits down with Jessica and Brenda, co-founders of Heal LA, a next-generation wellness clinic in Manhattan Beach. Built around a deep understanding of holistic health, longevity science, and the importance of community, Heal LA offers a comprehensive approach to optimization for women (and men) who are ready to invest in long-term vitality—before a health crisis forces it. This conversation uncovers what’s possible when innovation meets intention in healthcare.
Jessica and Brenda
In this Unplugged episode, Christian speaks with Jessica and Brenda from Heal LA—a clinic that combines functional medicine, acupuncture, mental health therapy, and biohacking technology under one roof. Designed as both a physical space and a wellness mindset, Heal LA caters to clients who want more than quick fixes. Instead, it offers individualized, dynamic care plans focused on long-term performance, longevity, and preventing future health challenges before they appear. Jessica and Brenda emphasize the importance of offering more than just tools—they build a supportive community where wellness becomes part of a lifestyle.
Heal LA's team includes MDs trained in longevity, acupuncturists, functional medicine practitioners, coaches, therapists, chiropractors, and more. When a new client arrives, the journey begins with assessments and lab work, followed by a tailored roadmap that evolves as their health progresses. With tools like biomarker testing and progress tracking, clients are able to see measurable changes—not just "feel" them—making it easier to stay motivated over time.
Much of the clinic’s expertise lies in women’s health, particularly stress management, hormone balance, and optimizing vitality before and through perimenopause. They’ve seen a powerful shift—more women in their 20s and 30s are proactively seeking care to support their long-term well-being, rather than waiting for issues to arise. Brenda notes that stress is one of the most common drivers of imbalance, and many of their programs are designed to help women respond to it more effectively through personalized care and nervous system support.
Christian highlights how Heal LA’s approach aligns with STEMREGEN’s mission: supporting the body’s innate repair system through daily choices and smart interventions. Whether that’s releasing more stem cells through plant-based supplementation or improving circulation and recovery with movement and mindfulness, the goal is the same—create the internal environment for the body to thrive. This episode is a refreshing look at what’s possible when modern health tools are combined with ancient wisdom, expert guidance, and real community.
