Everyone online is talking about peptides like they’re the next collagen powder, but most people are skipping the most important part: is your body even in a state to heal?

In this episode, we sit down with longevity expert Nat Niddam to get clear on what peptides actually are, how they work in the body, and where people are getting this conversation dangerously wrong. We talk about the difference between signaling peptides and bioregulator peptides, why inflammation and gut integrity determine whether you’ll see real results, and why “anti-aging for skin” is not as simple as injecting the trendy thing from Instagram.

We also dig into BPC-157, TB-500, growth hormone secretagogues, and the pineal, thymus, and vascular bioregulators, including when they can accelerate repair, and when they’re a terrible idea. Nat explains why your skin is a mirror of internal stress, mitochondrial function, and recovery, and why trying to force aesthetic results on top of chronic inflammation is like trying to build a house that’s already on fire.

Nat Niddam is a certified nutritionist, longevity practitioner, and one of the most trusted voices in the peptide and bioregulator space. She helps clients approach repair, recovery, and aging with strategy instead of guesswork.

What if the secret to better skin isn’t another serum or laser, but lowering inflammation from the inside out?

In this episode, I sit down with Karin Adoni, a certified holistic nutritionist, to talk about how food, sleep, and everyday toxins shape the way we age. Karin shares how she turned her own recovery from eating disorders into a mission to help women rebuild their metabolism and hormone balance naturally. 

We break down why ultra-processed foods and seed oils accelerate aging, how gut health drives skin health, and why sustainable change starts with real food, clean water, and better sleep, not shortcuts.

Karin Adoni is a certified holistic nutritionist and founder of Karin Adoni Nutrition. She specializes in helping women heal inflammation, balance hormones, and age well through realistic, empowering nutrition and lifestyle changes.

What if the best way to rejuvenate your skin isn’t lasers, peels, or expensive devices, but teaching your skin to repair itself?

In this episode, Joel Marshall, Founder and CEO of Dp Derm joins us to reveal how modern microneedling has evolved from rollers and stamps into the precision of the Dermapen 4. We explain how controlled micro-injuries stimulate natural collagen production, break down scar tissue, and restore youthful function without the risks of heat-based treatments. He also shares why so-called radiofrequency microneedling is misleading and potentially harmful.

We also explore the role of exosomes, NAD⁺, vitamin C, and licorice root extract in amplifying results, along with why pre-treatment preparation and post-care are essential for long-term outcomes. Joel’s mission is clear: make skin health accessible and effective through science-driven protocols, not marketing gimmicks.

Joel Marshall is the Founder and CEO of Dp Derm, the US home of DermapenWorld, and a global leader in professional microneedling technology. He has pioneered safer, smarter, and more effective approaches to skin rejuvenation.

Most people hear “copper peptide” and think “trend”. But GHK-Cu isn’t new, it’s a naturally occurring bioregulator your body already uses to repair, rebuild, and rejuvenate skin.

In this episode of Biohacking Beauty, we break down why GHK-Cu deserves its cult status in longevity skincare. We also unpack how this tripeptide binds copper to signal fibroblasts, activate collagen and elastin genes, and restore damaged tissue at the cellular level. You’ll learn why 3% is the sweet spot for results without irritation, how GHK-Cu works synergistically with retinol, vitamin C, methylene blue, and NAD+, and what makes pharmaceutical-grade sourcing critical for performance.

If you’ve ever wondered whether GHK-Cu can truly “reset” aging cells or how it compares to retinol, this episode connects the dots between biochemistry and visible results, showing how small, precise molecules can drive profound, measurable change in your skin’s longevity.

What's Discussed:

(00:00) What makes ghk-cu more than a “trendy copper peptide”

(02:20) How fibroblasts, collagen genes, and epigenetics work together

(07:19) Why 3% ghk-cu is the sweet spot for results without irritation

Exosomes aren’t just a buzzword, they’re nanoscale messengers that deliver the body’s own repair instructions. In this episode of Biohacking Beauty, we unpack the science of platelet-derived, or “vampire,” exosomes and how they go beyond conventional growth factors to target aging at its root. 

You’ll learn how microRNA inside platelet exosomes can reduce senescence signals, trigger collagen and elastin renewal, and activate autophagy for deeper cellular repair. The hosts also explore how formulation stability, ingredient compatibility, and third-party quantification make or break an exosome product. 

If you’ve ever wondered how PRP exosomes compare to traditional PRP facials, or why pairing them with NAD-boosting actives can amplify skin longevity, this episode explains the real mechanisms behind the hype, helping you understand what it takes for skin to truly act younger, not just look it.

What if the products you’re being told to buy are doing more harm than good?

In this episode of Biohacking Beauty, we strip it back to unfiltered opinions, no scripts, no fluff, just real talk about the ingredients and habits that get way too much attention in skincare.

We call out why certain “hero” ingredients, like high-dose niacinamide, may actually backfire with chronic use, and why collagen powders in hot coffee aren’t the miracle they’re sold as. We dig into the over-exfoliation trap, explain why protecting your barrier is the foundation for every other biohack, and spotlight methylene blue as one of the most underutilized longevity tools for skin.

At the end of the day, trends will come and go, but your skin cells don’t follow hype — they respond to biology. This episode will change the way you think about your routine.

Most people know spirulina as a superfood: a bright green powder you toss into smoothies.

But what happens when this blue-green algae becomes a skincare ingredient?

In this episode of Biohacking Beauty, we go behind the science to explain why spirulina deserves a place in your longevity routine.

We break down how its unique peptides, antioxidants, and minerals defend against oxidative stress, boost collagen, and calm inflammation, all while keeping skin hydrated and resilient. We also share how spirulina fights acne, supports barrier repair, and even offers mild UV protection.

You’ll hear how Young Goose sources Spirulina AP, a purified, heavy-metal-free extract with clinical data behind it, and why the way it’s formulated makes all the difference between irritation and true repair.

What if the most popular skin treatments today are quietly accelerating aging beneath the surface?

In this episode of Biohacking Beauty, we go unfiltered, sharing the procedures we actually trust, the ones we avoid, and the rules we’re not afraid to break. 

We explain why microneedling with PRP remains the gold standard for regeneration, why red light therapy is the ultimate mitochondria hack, and how pairing it with our Ladder Serum doubles the results. We also reveal why your skin’s metabolic state, NAD+ levels, senescence, and mitochondrial function determine how well any treatment works.

Along the way, we cut through Instagram hype, debunk outdated myths, and reveal what actually holds up to real skin biology. You don’t want to miss this one.

What if stress isn’t the reason your hormones are crashing, what if it’s the other way around? In this episode of Biohacking Beauty, we sit down with longevity clinician Dr. Sarah Daccarett to explore how early hormone decline sets women up for stress intolerance, immune dysfunction, and accelerated aging.

We will explain why telling women to “just de-stress” misses the point, how estrogen and progesterone regulate immune balance, and why autoimmune disease skyrockets when these hormones drop. We also dive into the role of environmental toxins and birth control in shutting down protective signaling, and why most standard hormone therapies fail because of outdated formulations and delivery systems.

You’ll hear why optimizing hormones in your 20s and 30s is critical for skin health, sleep, and vitality, why waiting until menopause is too late, and how Sarah is rethinking women’s health.
