What if reversing joint pain, skin aging, and inflammation wasn’t about more supplements, but about better signals?

In this episode, we’re joined by Dr. Ross Carter, a regenerative medicine expert and founder of the Young For Life protocol, to explore how stem cells, exosomes, peptides, and biologics are shaping the future of aging.

We unpack the science of cell signaling, inflammation, and tissue regeneration, and why most people approach regenerative medicine all wrong. We dive into how perinatal stem cells work, the truth about exosomes and MMPs, why enzyme neutralization matters more than collagen creams, and what makes biohacking with biologics effective, or completely useless.

Dr. Ross Carter is a regenerative medicine pioneer, speaker, and founder of the Young For Life method.

What if the secret to glowing skin, a sharper brain, and a revived sex drive isn’t more skincare, but hormone replacement therapy?

In this episode, we’re joined by Karen Martel, certified hormone specialist and founder of The Hormone Solution, to unpack the misunderstood science of beauty and aging. From pheromones and libido to collagen and facial structure, we explore how estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone shape how you look, and how you feel.

We break down how hormone loss affects everything from your skin’s elasticity to your body composition, and why most women are being gaslit out of getting the care they actually need. We also cover the truth about HRT and cancer risk, the pros and cons of oral vs. topical vs. injectable options, and how to personalize your approach for results that go deeper than just “looking good.”

Karen Martel is a certified hormone specialist and functional health practitioner. She is the host of The Other Side of Weight Loss Podcast and the founder of The Hormone Solution, where she helps women navigate perimenopause and menopause using bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT).

What if the key to younger skin, stronger muscles, and a sharper mind isn’t more cardio—but more connection?

In this episode, we’re joined by Kristin McGee, a nationally recognized yoga and wellness educator who bridges classical practice with modern science to help people live, move, and age better, inside and out.

We unpack the science of mindful movement and its direct impact on aging. From her days on 30 Rock to launching Peloton’s yoga platform, Kristin shares what 30+ years of teaching has taught her about resilience, skin vitality, and aging well.

We dive into how somatic movement lowers cortisol (the #1 aging accelerator), why strength training is non-negotiable after 40, and how to design a workout routine that builds collagen, not just calories burned.

What if your skin issues—breakouts, dullness, inflammation—weren’t random, but deeply connected to your cycle?

In today’s episode, we are sharing a recent conversation we had on the Revital Health Podcast with Jodi Duval. We dive into something I feel incredibly passionate about: how each phase of the menstrual cycle affects our skin, and how aligning our skincare rituals with those hormonal shifts can create real, visible change.

We also talk about Anastasia’s (YG Co-founder) personal postpartum skin struggles, why traditional skincare advice often fails women, and the biohacking strategies I use to support skin from the inside out. We unpack the truth behind buzzy trends like salmon sperm facials and RF microneedling, and why they’re often more harmful than helpful.

If you’ve ever felt like your skincare routine stops working mid-month, this episode will explain why—and how to fix it.

What if your skin problems aren’t skin-deep at all, but rooted in your gut?

In this episode, we’re joined by gut health expert Joni Laiho to explore one of the most overlooked yet powerful connections in skin longevity: the gut-skin axis. If you’re dealing with adult acne, stubborn inflammation, accelerated aging, or skin that just doesn’t bounce back, this conversation is for you.

We break down how gut dysfunction silently drives skin issues, the early signs your gut is leaking into your face (literally), and the doctor-backed protocols that can rebuild your skin from the inside out. If you’ve tried every topical, peel, or red light mask with minimal results… this might be the missing piece.

Joni is the founder of a leading gut health company focused on healing chronic conditions from the inside out. He specializes in restoring the gut-skin connection through clinical protocols and evidence-based supplements.

In this episode, we break down some of the most viral skincare trends you see all over Instagram and TikTok, face ice baths, jelly eye patches, salmon sperm facials, red light masks, Morpheus 8, niacinamide overload, and more.

But here’s the thing: just because a trend is everywhere doesn’t mean it works, or that it supports your skin long-term.

We don’t hype or bash blindly, we give you the science-backed truth so you can make smart, informed choices about what’s actually worth your time (and money). From understanding why face ice baths aren’t the same as full-body cold therapy to why most LED face masks don’t deliver enough power to create real change, we share the clinical insights behind the hype.

This episode is for anyone who wants to cut through the noise of skincare marketing and build a routine that actually supports skin health, longevity, and cellular repair.

What if your skincare routine could actually trigger your body’s built-in anti-aging pathways? Most products just treat the surface, but aging starts much deeper, at the cellular level.

In this episode of the Biohacking Beauty Podcast, I’m talking with Dr. Melissa Cano, Director of Science at Longevity Labs and one of the smartest voices out there when it comes to spermidine, autophagy, and cellular health. Melissa has spent years teaching practitioners and biohackers how polyamines like spermidine can activate the body’s natural cleanup process, support mitochondrial health, and actually help cells function younger.

We get into why autophagy is the key to skin renewal, why spermidine levels drop as we age, and how to use it (internally and topically) for real results. We also dig into what the latest research says about spermidine for gut health, sleep, hair—and why I believe it’s one of the most important molecules in longevity science today.

Dr. Melissa Cano is the Director of Science at Longevity Labs. Dr. Melissa is recognized for her work helping biohackers, clinicians, and health enthusiasts understand how molecules like spermidine support autophagy, mitochondrial function, and healthy aging.

In today’s episode, Anastasia and I are diving into a topic that’s on everyone’s lips—Botox. It’s become a standard in many beauty routines, but the truth is, Botox isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. While it can smooth out wrinkles, repeated use can actually change the way your face moves and functions, leading to long-term issues like muscle atrophy and loss of natural expression.

We’re not here to scare you, but to arm you with the knowledge you need to make informed, empowered decisions about your skin. We’re breaking down 7 key facts about Botox you NEED to know, including why overuse could mess with your facial muscles, and why it’s not the “preventative” miracle some people think it is.

Botox is a tool—use it wisely, and with the right approach. Tune in for a smarter, more sustainable approach to aging. This one’s for anyone who’s had Botox, is thinking about it, or just wants to understand how it works.

In today’s episode, Anastasia and I are tackling a topic that doesn’t get enough attention in skincare: your neck and chest. These areas age faster than your face, and most people completely overlook them in their routines. But why? The skin here is thinner, less hydrated, and more vulnerable to environmental stress. Gravity, sun damage, and even posture all contribute to crepey skin and sagging.

We’re diving into the biology of why the neck and chest age faster and what you can do about it. We’ll talk about essential strategies to keep your skin firm, hydrated, and youthful, including the importance of SPF, collagen-boosting ingredients, and why facial exercises matter. Plus, we’re introducing our game-changing Youth Firming Neck and Chest Cream—designed specifically for these delicate areas.
