probably going to be among your friends, the one at 70 years old that is still running, is healthy, has no issues, is hiking and everything is great. Naturally, you have a higher level of repair capability in your body because you naturally release more stem cells. And the spectrum here is vast.

If you look between the person, like the lower end of your red blood cells, for example, in the higher end, it's a range of about 2X between minimum and maximum. Stem cells, it's a hundredfold. Wow. It is vast. So you take a hundred people in the population, you count the number of stem cells, you have some of them that will be at the very bottom and others at the very high end.

And right now, I can tell you, those at the high end are the healthy ones. Those at the lower end are those that experience all kinds of health issues, don't recover fast, don't repair well, and so on. So if we can increase the number of stem cells in circulation, we can help them be more like the healthy people. So there is a genetic factor.

There's something we don't really know now what determines this, but we have good mobilizers and poor mobilizers, number one. Number two, Lipids are super crucial for a stem cell that is up to 20 microns to squeeze in a small capillary that is 12 microns. So these cells must be super flexible.

We know that it does not take a whole lot of time to have lipids in your diet to reach and penetrate your cell membranes. And the reason why I'm saying this is that if you've got a lot of fried food, saturated fat, oxidized fats in your diet, that ends up into your cell membrane and it can do a lot of things into your cells, including changing the normal healthy flexibility of stem cells.

Here's a factor that can affect your stem cells. If you don't move a lot, meaning your blood vasculature is not used to pump blood, to dilate, to provide a lot of blood flow to all your muscles. When you do exercise, your heart is pumping. It's putting pressure and it's cleansing the body. It delivers stem cells everywhere. Physical activity.

If you don't have physical activity and you have areas of your body that start to have too much stasis, like it's not moving, it's too stagnant, those areas are likely to not have access to a lot of stem cells. Maybe not enough stem cells. If somebody has a chronic condition and nothing seems to do anything with it, then that person is still releasing stem cells.

Why are they not reaching that area? So exercise, poor blood vasculature. So list of all the things that are known to not be good for the cardiovascular system. They're going to not be good for the delivery of your stem cells to various tissues. Last one that shows up more as we age. inflammation is a signal that should be localized.

Where you have an injury, right there, the tissue is sending an SOS. It's telling stem cells, come here. This is here. You need to come here to repair that tissue. If that tissue does not get repaired for various reasons, then it becomes chronic.

The fact, the chronic nature of that injury or that thing in your body that is not repairing makes that area starts to release constantly those inflammatory compounds. And it's a little bit like you having a fire in your house and after a while, You get smoke everywhere. And now with the smoke, you can't find where the fire is. But you know that there's a fire.
