How to eat for maximum stem cell success

What if you could dramatically improve the results of your stem cell treatment—faster healing, better tissue regeneration, and longer-lasting benefits—just by changing the way you eat?

The truth is, your diet can make or break your treatment outcome, and most people are unknowingly sabotaging their investment in stem cell therapy by failing to put enough focus on nutrition before, and especially during and after their stem cell treatment.

Why Nutrition Matters Before Your Treatment

The right nutrition is crucial because many common foods trigger an inflammatory immune response which creates a hostile environment that impairs stem cell survival, function, and regenerative potential thus sabotaging your results.

The best way to prepare nutritionally for your stem cell treatment is to reduce your body’s inflammation levels by adopting an anti-inflammatory diet. 

Just taking anti-inflammatory supplements like fish oil, TH2 and/or TH1 modulators without changing your diet is like trying to cool your house by turning on the air conditioner without turning off your heating furnace. You will struggle to see meaningful benefits and waste valuable time before your stem cell treatment—time you could be using to optimize your outcome.

The Biggest Inflammatory Food Offenders

An anti-inflammatory diet eliminates foods that cause chronic low-grade inflammation at a cellular level. The most important inflammatory foods to remove before, during, and after your treatment include:

❌ Refined carbohydrates – Sugar, glucose syrup, flours and processed grains.
❌ Refined seed oils – Cottonseed, corn, soy, canola, safflower, sunflower, and generic “vegetable oil.”

I can’t emphasize enough the power of consistently avoiding these two groups to significantly improve your stem cell therapy results.

These substances are hidden in nearly all processed foods —  Including foods we know aren’t healthy such as cookies, soda, ice cream, iced tea, crackers, cakes and brownies.  However you also need to know that these sustances are also hidden in many foods we often consider healthy such as bread, pasta, mayonnaise, salad dressing, sauces, peanut butter and many more.

Most of these foods are highly addictive and hard to resist, so the best approach is to stop buying them and clear your pantry of anything that contains them.

🔹 Pro Tip: Many people fail to obtain significant results because they only partially remove these ingredients.  For some people, even eating a small amount of these ingredients can trigger a full blown inflammatory immune response (especially applies in immune conditions). 

What Should You Eat Instead?

The answer is simple: real food! Foods with just one ingredient (ie: “sweet potato” only contains “sweet potato”).  Your meals should comprise of a moderate amount of protein, lots of healthy fats, and some whole-food-based carbohydrates:

✅ Proteins: Grass-fed meats, wild fish, pasture-raised eggs
✅ Healthy Fats: Extra virgin olive oil, butter, avocado, coconut oil
✅ Carbohydrates: Vegetables, fruits (not fruit juice), nuts, and seeds

By focusing on whole, nutrient-dense foods, you will naturally reduce inflammation which will support stem cell function.

Sample Meal Plan for a Stem Cell-Optimized Diet

🥑 Breakfast: Scrambled eggs with half an avocado, almond bread toast, garlic mushrooms, and wilted spinach.
🐟 Lunch: Pan-fried wild salmon with a fennel and coriander seed crust, served with broccoli and sweet potato mash.
🥣 Dinner: Bone broth with potatoes and cilantro, steamed zucchini and carrots with lemon and black pepper.
🧀 Snack: Fresh fruit, nuts, cheese.

Be sure to cook with extra virgin olive oil, butter, or coconut oil.

Additional Customization for Better Results

Depending on your symptoms, gut health, and blood work, it may be beneficial to further adjust your diet because in some cases just following the recommendations above will not be enough to meaningly reduce your body’s inflammation levels.  This could mean temporarily avoiding additional foods that:

• Trigger autoimmune responses in your body (e.g., wheat, dairy, soy, corn and nightshade vegetables).
• Contribute to gut bacteria overgrowth (for example: many “healthy foods” such as green apples, asparagus and cauliflower contain high levels of FODMAPs which feed unhealthy bacteria which may also cause an inflammatory immune response).
• Cause personal sensitivities (for example some people are especially sensitive to certain compounds such as oxilates in tofu, alkaloids in tomatoes, saponins in quinoa, lectins in beans and seeds, cyanide in almonds.

Intermittent fasting can also be highly beneficial if your body can tolerate it. It helps heal the gut, improves insulin sensitivity, and primes your body for longer fasting periods, which can dramatically enhance your stem cell therapy response when done at the right time.

🔹 Pro Tip: Work with a therapeutic fasting expert to determine the best fasting protocol for your body to maximize stem cell activation and repair.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I eat in restaurants?  Technically you can eat at restaurants because many will have at least one or two dishes that are medium protein, with healthy fats and unrefined carbs (such as a steak with a salad and a side serving of guacamole). Unfortunately most restaurants will cook your food you order in refined seed oils or add them to your dishes without you ever knowing so you will have to think ahead and get used to asking your waiter a lot of questions about how the food is prepared.

Exactly how much protein, fats and carbs should I eat?  This will depend on your personal situation such as weight, health conditions and food preferences but a general rule of thumb is:

• Protein: between 0.8 to 1.5 grams of protein per kilogram body weight (ie a person weighing 70kg should consume between 55 and 110 grams of protein).
• Carbs:  Maximum of 100 – 150 grams of whole food carbs (from  vegetables, nuts and seeds).   If you have insulin resistance it may be beneficial to consume a much lower amount of carbs.
• Health fats:  The remaining amount of the calories you eat should come from healthy fats.  For example if your basal metabolic rate is 1,800 calories per day and you are getting 1,000 calories from protein and carbs (combined) you would aim to get the remaining 1,000 calories from healthy fats – roughly 100 grams (this would be 7 tablespoons of olive oil).
