If you’ve ever felt that traditional health systems are failing to look at the whole person, today’s episode will feel like a breath of fresh air. I’m joined by Jennifer Payeur — founder of Nature Provides, holistic health practitioner, cancer thriver, and creator of the award-winning film Nature Provides: The Ancient Wisdom of Plant Stem Cells.
This episode is an expansive exploration of how embryonic plant stem cells — baby plant tissues harvested during peak vitality — can support the deepest layers of healing, regeneration, detoxification, and balance in the human body. Jen’s journey from high-powered banking executive to stage-four cancer diagnosis to becoming a steward of these powerful plant remedies is nothing short of remarkable.
And yes — we dive into exactly how these plant stem cells can support bone health, detoxification, hormone balance, stress resilience, gut repair, and emotional healing—key pillars for restoring skeletal strength.
From Corporate Burnout to Stage 4 Cancer: Jen’s Wake-Up Call
For decades, Jennifer lived the fast-paced corporate life: executive-level stress, constant travel, minimal rest, and a long list of medications that masked symptoms but never addressed the root cause. After years of chronic fatigue, shingles, pneumonia, tachycardia — her body finally said “enough.”
Then came the diagnosis no one wants to hear: stage 4 cancer.
Faced with a 23% five-year survival rate even with chemotherapy and radiation, Jen’s intuition was loud — “That is not my path.” She chose a fully holistic approach, addressing the triad she believes underlies all chronic disease:
immune dysfunction, toxic burden, and unresolved trauma.
Her story of “army-crawling through her own healing path,” trying over 120 supplements a day with minimal improvement, is something so many women can relate to — doing all the things and still not getting answers.
Then something unexpected happened…
The Lightning Moment: Discovering Embryonic Plant Stem Cells
A colleague handed Jen a bottle of “embryonic plant stem cells,” and hearing those words sent electricity through her body. Three months later, she was in a medical training program in Hawaii learning about these plants. And on the last day, she learned the company producing them was for sale.
And as she describes it:
“It was as if the plants themselves said, You’re the one. You’re the steward.”
After two months on a personalized plant stem cell protocol, her cancer markers fell back into the normal range. That was her confirmation: this was her life’s purpose.
What Are Embryonic Plant Stem Cells?
These aren’t typical herbal extracts.
They’re harvested from new spring growth — the buds and shoots that hold a plant’s highest energetic and biochemical potential. In this early stage, they contain:
✔️ Plant stem cells that communicate with human stem cells
✔️ Juvenile phytohormones that repair microRNA and genetic polymorphisms
✔️ High-vibrational compounds that restore cellular coherence
✔️ Detoxifying and regenerative properties adult plants simply don’t have
They work on three levels simultaneously:
- Detoxify tissues, organs, cells, fascia, and the lymphatic system
- Rebuild communication within the extracellular matrix
- Regenerate damaged or depleted tissues
They help the body return to homeostasis — balance, which is what humans are designed for.
Why This Matters for Bone Health
Bones weaken for many reasons: toxicity, gut imbalance, hormone dysfunction, chronic stress, mineral depletion, poor liver clearance, and even emotional and generational trauma.
Plant stem cells beautifully support the core systems bones depend on:
✔️ Liver support
Essential for hormone metabolism, inflammation control, and vitamin D activation.
✔️ Gut repair
Healing leaky gut reduces inflammatory signals that break down bone tissue.
✔️ Adrenals + stress balance
Chronic stress equals chronic bone loss. Period.
✔️ Connective tissue + fascia rejuvenation
Critical for posture, fall prevention, and spinal stability.
✔️ Cellular detoxification
Heavy metals and environmental toxins get stored in bones — especially as we age.
Plus, Jennifer’s Bone Health Complex contains:
- Mountain Pine – musculoskeletal + heavy metal detox
- Ash – tendons, ligaments, and uric acid balance
- Black Currant – adrenal support + inflammation
- Virginia Creeper – connective tissue, fascia, and lymph
This is exactly the kind of foundational support women with osteopenia or osteoporosis need.
Nature as Medicine: Reclaiming Ancient Wisdom
One of the most beautiful parts of this conversation is how deeply Jen reconnects us with nature — not as a “resource,” but as a relational being.
She reminds us that:
⭐ We are nature.
⭐ We heal with nature, not separate from it.
⭐ The plants carry ancestral wisdom we have forgotten.
⭐ Healing isn’t just physical — it’s emotional, energetic, generational.
And as she shares, science is finally catching up:
Humans are 99.999% energy. Healing must honor that truth.
My Biggest Takeaway
We cannot out-supplement a life that is out of alignment.
We cannot out-medicate a body that is overwhelmed.
We cannot ignore the emotional and energetic layers of healing.
Bone health — and whole-body health — requires supporting the terrain, not forcing a system.
And nature already knows what to do.
Want to experience plant stem cell medicine yourself?
I’ll be sharing more resources, product links, and bone-support bundles for the Stronger Bones community soon — because this is the missing piece so many women have been waiting for.
Stay tuned.
And don’t forget to watch Jen’s award-winning film Nature Provides — it’s beautiful, healing, and deeply eye-opening.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Oxalates, also known as oxalic acid, are naturally occurring compounds found in many plants, vegetables, and fruits. They are part of a plant’s defense mechanism against predators and can be found in high concentrations in foods like spinach, rhubarb, beets, nuts, chocolate, tea, and certain beans.
Regarding bone health, oxalates can bind to minerals such as calcium in the gut, forming calcium oxalate. This compound is not easily absorbed by the body, meaning the calcium that could have been utilized for bone strengthening is instead excreted. This process can potentially lead to lower calcium availability for bone health, which can be particularly concerning for individuals at risk of osteoporosis or other bone-related issues.
However, for most women, dietary oxalates do not pose a significant threat to bone health, especially if their diet is balanced with enough calcium and they do not have a history of kidney stones.
Your gut is crucial for stronger bones for several reasons:
- Nutrient Absorption: The gut is where most nutrient absorption occurs. For bones to be healthy and strong, they need a variety of nutrients, particularly calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, and vitamin D. A healthy gut efficiently absorbs these essential nutrients from your diet and facilitates their transportation to the bones.
- Gut Microbiome and Bone Health: Research has shown that the gut microbiome (the community of bacteria living in your intestines) can influence bone density. Certain gut bacteria help in producing short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) like butyrate, which have been shown to promote bone health. SCFAs can enhance the absorption of minerals necessary for bone strength and play a role in reducing inflammation, which can negatively affect bone health.
- Hormone Regulation: The gut helps regulate hormones that are involved in bone metabolism, including insulin, thyroid hormones, and sex hormones like estrogen. For example, estrogen is vital for bone density, and gut health can influence estrogen levels through the enterohepatic circulation, where estrogens are processed in the liver and intestines.
- Reducing Inflammation: Chronic inflammation, which can stem from poor gut health, is linked to many conditions that compromise bone strength, such as osteoporosis. A healthy gut helps to reduce systemic inflammation, protecting bones from inflammatory damage.
- Immune System Modulation: The majority of the immune system is located in the gut. An imbalance in the immune system can lead to autoimmune conditions, some of which affect the bones. Maintaining gut health helps to ensure the immune system works correctly, protecting against autoimmune reactions that could impact bone health.
In essence, maintaining a healthy gut contributes significantly to stronger bones by ensuring the effective absorption of vital nutrients, regulating hormones, reducing inflammation, and supporting a healthy immune system. Therefore, a diet rich in bone-healthy nutrients, prebiotics, and probiotics, along with lifestyle factors that promote gut health, is key to maintaining strong bones.
