Joshua Holland: https://linktr.ee/joshuajholland

In this episode of Simply Walk The Talk, Joshua Holland meets Christian Drapeau in New York City for a conversation that starts with smoothies and fasting, then moves into brain focus, sensory overload, stem cell mobilization, and the body’s natural repair system.

Christian explains why fasting can create sharper mental energy, how the reticular activating system helps the brain filter noise, and why supporting the body’s own stem cell release may be one of the most practical ways to improve repair, recovery, and resilience.

They also discuss STEMREGEN, misconceptions about stem cells in capsules, stem cell injections versus endogenous stem cell mobilization, aging, inflammation, microcirculation, and what may be coming next in the world of targeted stem cell support.

5 Key Takeaways

1. Fasting may help the body shift into clearer, more efficient energy.
2. The brain filters constant sensory input through systems like the RAS.
3. STEMREGEN does not contain stem cells; it supports the release of the body’s own stem cells.
4. Stem cell mobilization may support repair, recovery, and healthy aging.
5. Lifestyle still matters: stress, movement, circulation, and inflammation all affect how repair happens.

Featured Product

STEMREGEN supports the release of your own adult stem cells, your body’s natural repair system.

Christian Drapeau explains that STEMREGEN is not a stem cell capsule. It is a plant-based formula designed to help mobilize stem cells from the bone marrow into circulation, where the body can use them for repair and recovery.

Joshua Holland: https://linktr.ee/joshuajholland

In this personal episode of Simply Walk The Talk, Joshua sits down with his brother, Mario, for a raw conversation about grief, stress, health, and the kind of wake-up call that can change a life. They reflect on how Mario’s first trip to New York shifted his perspective years ago, and how a recent ProLon reset became another turning point at exactly the right time.

Mario opens up about the emotional weight of losing their father, the stress of law enforcement, self-isolation, emotional eating, and the spiral that led him back near his heaviest weight. Together, the brothers unpack how habits form during hard seasons, how hard it can be to interrupt those patterns, and why sometimes it takes someone close to step in and help create momentum.

They also talk through Mario’s experience using the ProLon fasting mimicking diet, what changed physically and mentally in just a few weeks, and how that reset helped him build a new sense of discipline, energy, and hope. This is an honest conversation about brotherhood, accountability, grief, and choosing to fight for a better future while there is still time.

5 Key Takeaways

• Sometimes one decisive nudge can change the trajectory of a person’s life.
• Grief, chronic stress, and self-isolation can quietly fuel destructive health patterns.
• A reset can be about much more than weight loss; it can restore energy, mood, and momentum.
• Accountability from family can be uncomfortable, but it can also be life-giving.
• Real change often begins when someone decides they are done repeating the same cycle.

Joshua Holland: https://linktr.ee/joshuajholland

In this episode, Joshua sits down with Dr. Emily Splichal, functional podiatrist, founder of Noboso, and author of Sensory Sapiens, for a conversation about feet, sensation, movement, and the deeper role sensory awareness plays in longevity.

They explore how Dr. Emily’s work has evolved from Barefoot Strong into a much broader philosophy: that feet are not just biomechanical structures, but powerful sensory gateways that influence how we move, balance, feel, and connect to ourselves. Together, they discuss foot strength, body schema, interoception, movement quality, and why sensory stimulation may be one of the most overlooked aspects of health and performance.

This conversation also gets practical. Dr. Emily shares how to begin reconnecting with the feet, what people can notice immediately by standing barefoot with intention, and why better movement starts with better awareness.

If you care about movement, balance, presence, aging well, or understanding the body on a deeper level, this episode delivers.


Key Takeaways
• Feet are not just structural; they are deeply sensory
• Better sensory awareness can improve movement quality and body control
• Taking off your shoes helps, but intentional foot training matters more
• Body schema plays a major role in performance, aging, and injury prevention
• Longevity is not just about quantity of movement, but quality and presence

Featured Product
STEMREGEN

This episode is a reminder that longevity is not built through one single habit. It comes from how well the body senses, adapts, repairs, and responds over time.

That’s one reason STEMREGEN continues to fit so naturally into this broader conversation. STEMREGEN supports the release of your body’s own adult stem cells—your built-in repair system. Whether the focus is resilience, recovery, mobility, or long-term function, repair capacity matters.

Joshua Holland: https://linktr.ee/joshuajholland

In this solo episode, Joshua checks in from the middle of his fifth ProLon fasting mimicking cycle and explains why this protocol continues to be one of his favorite tools for resetting both body and mind.

He breaks down what it feels like to move through the five-day process, why it has become easier each time, and how fasting mimicking helps him create more clarity, more discipline, and better awareness around food, habits, and energy. Joshua also shares how tools like the Hume Health Body Pod help him understand what is really happening inside his body beyond just the number on the scale.

Along the way, he talks about creeping up to his heaviest weight, the role of stress eating and habit eating, and why this reset arrived at exactly the right time. He also shares why he decided to buy a kit for his brother so they could go through it together, and how that experience is inspiring him to create a more accessible version of this kind of reset for his own community in the future.

This episode is a practical, honest look at ProLon, body awareness, and the deeper mindset shift that comes from pressing reset with intention.

Key Takeaways

• A reset can be as much mental as it is physical
• Better awareness leads to better choices around food and habits
• Weight loss is only one part of the story; body composition matters too
• Fasting mimicking can help interrupt patterns without requiring extreme measures
• Support and community make change more sustainable

Joshua Holland: https://linktr.ee/joshuajholland

In this episode, Joshua sits down with one of his oldest friends in New York, Sean Capello, for a conversation that starts as a walk down memory lane and turns into a real discussion about transformation, motivation, and the power of better data.

Joshua and Sean reflect on their early days in New York, shooting some of Joshua’s first fitness content long before social media fitness became mainstream. From rooftop workouts and jump rope videos to storm workouts during Hurricane Sandy, the two revisit the projects, training experiments, and friendship that shaped a big part of Joshua’s early career.

The conversation then shifts into the real reason for the episode: Sean’s recent health transformation. After years of life changes, stress, fatherhood, pandemic weight gain, and a broken ankle, Sean found himself needing a better way to measure progress.


What You’ll Learn in This Episode
• How Joshua and Sean first started working together in New York
• The early days of barefoot fitness content before it was mainstream
• How Sean’s weight and health shifted through work stress, the pandemic, and injury
• Why weight alone is a poor measure of health progress
• How body-composition tracking can improve motivation and decision-making
• What metrics like visceral fat, lean mass, and metabolic age can reveal
• Why real transformation often starts with better awareness, not more guesswork


Key Takeaways
• Progress becomes easier to sustain when it is measurable in meaningful ways
• Body composition is more useful than weight alone for understanding health
• Lean mass, visceral fat, and metabolic age can offer a more complete picture
• Motivation improves when someone can actually see change happening
