In this powerful episode of Unplugged, Christian Drapeau meets JJ Virgin for a deep dive into how women's health and fitness have shifted over the last few decades. JJ recounts her early days in a male-dominated fitness space, where cardio reigned supreme and resistance training was misunderstood—especially for women. Today, the science has caught up, and JJ has emerged as a trusted leader in advocating for strength, cellular energy, and smart supplementation. Her message is clear: muscle is the currency of aging well.

The conversation quickly turns toward how science-backed supplements are evolving. JJ breaks down why women, in particular, benefit from key nutrients like creatine and collagen—not just for performance, but for brain health, hormone balance, and vitality. Christian builds on this by introducing how STEMREGEN works as a plant-based stem cell mobilizer that helps fuel the body’s innate repair system. When stem cells are released, especially in response to stress or training, they migrate to areas of the body that need support—helping tissues recover faster and function better.

They also explore the science of muscle recovery. Christian explains that soreness is often a result of micro-injuries in the tissue that continue signaling for help until repair is complete. When more stem cells are circulating, that repair happens faster—which is why JJ noticed such a significant difference after trying STEMREGEN herself. Less soreness meant she could push harder in the gym, leading to better results over time—without added strain on her system.

Finally, JJ and Christian discuss the broader implications of stem cell support. From mitochondrial health to long-term recovery and inflammation, the conversation highlights how cellular-level strategies are redefining what it means to age well. With JJ’s practical, results-oriented approach and Christian’s scientific insights, this episode offers a clear look into the future of fitness and functional health—for women and men alike.
