Here were the thoughts that ran through my mind the first time I met today’s guest, Jennifer Payeur at an event:

“She’s like a tree.”

I don’t know what it was.

Maybe it was her green dress… her grounding and wise presence… Whatever it was, I was like “I must talk to this incredible human.”

Sure enough, at dinner the first night I found myself right at her table, and we immediately hit it off.

She’s got a CRAZY story, and my intuition was right… She IS like a tree!

Jenn used to be a high flying corporate executive, and her life reflected it.

20 hour days… constant travel… AND was raising four children.

Eventually this high stress lifestyle led to severe health issues, including chronic fatigue, pneumonia, and ultimately, stage 4 cancer.

Through a crazy series of events, Jenn was introduced to a little-known therapy in the United States called gemmotherapy — plant stem cell therapy.

These plant stem cells played a significant role in her full recovery, and today she owns a company, Nature Provides, that is helping people all over the world to improve their health.

AND she’s even released a new book called Ancient Plant Wisdom that goes deep into how to resolve over 100 of our most common chronic and degenerative health conditions… including heart disease and cancer.

In today’s episode, you’ll learn:

• How studying with the “13 Indigenous Grandmothers” reshaped her view on stewardship of the Earth.
• What plant stem cells ARE and why they unlock systemic health benefits that go far beyond what other forms of herbal medicine can provide.
• How Jenn has learned to listen to her intuition, and how it’s saved and majorly altered her life trajectory on multiple occasions

Can’t wait for you to listen!

13:52 - A book falls off a shelf and leads Jennifer to Barbara Brennan’s healing school

In a moment of synchronicity, the book Hands of Light falls on Jen’s head, introducing her to Barbara Brennan. She embarks on a four-year intensive training in energy healing, learning how illness originates in the energetic field before manifesting in the physical body.

24:20 - Meeting and studying with the 13 Indigenous Grandmothers

Jennifer recounts how she found the Grandmothers through one of them, Grandmother Flordemayo. She explains the mission of the Council—to protect nature and restore peace for seven generations forward and back—and how it shaped her understanding of stewardship, not ownership.

30:00 - Embracing stewardship and honoring sacred land and plants

38:47 - What are plant stem cells and why are they powerful?

Jen explains gemmotherapy—the use of plant stem cells from buds—and how they carry vitality, peptides, amino acids, and light. Unlike adult plants, these early-stage cells offer regenerative benefits and help restore the body's blueprint for health.

41:24 - How plant stem cells work differently from essential oils and dried herbs

Brandon and Jen explore the power of stillness, listening, and noticing. Jen shares simple practices like grounding, checking in with the body, and questioning physical discomfort instead of immediately masking it with medication.
