Beauty and the Biohacker

In this week's episode we're talking all about the brain - and more specifically - supplements to support cognition, longevity, and peak performance. We sit down with Dr. Greg Kelly (lead product formulator at Neurohacker Collective) to discuss the science behind their Qualia line of supplements.

ABOUT NEUROHACKER COLLECTIVE

Neurohacker Collective was founded in 2015 with the mission of creating best in class well-being products by employing a unique methodology to research and development based on complex systems science. This scientific approach focuses on supporting the body’s ability to self-regulate, rather than overriding regulatory systems with chemicals designed to move a biomarker in a particular direction. The company began with a focus on cognitive products with the launch of its Qualia nootropic line and will continue to provide comprehensive products for overall peak performance.

ABOUT DR. GREGORY KELLY, N.D.

In this episode, we explore the world of epigenetics testing with Dr. Erika Gray, PharmD of Toolbox Genomics. Learn what health markers play a role in our long-term health and why your standard DNA test may not be enough. Epigenetics are expressions of your DNA, impacted by your lifestyle and environment. The respective genes can be turned ’on’ or ‘off’ through targeted lifestyle interventions, which can be tracked with repeat testing.

ABOUT TOOLBOX GENOMICS:

Toolbox Genomics is a data interpretation service. They take genetic data generated by a CLIA/CAPP certified lab and compare it against hundreds of genetic markers that our research team has identified as significant. The company also has a comprehensive data protection privacy policy, which you can find outlined on their website.
