The Well Drop: Perimenopause Symptoms, Weight Gain, Mood & Sleep

Do your skincare products leave you disappointed in the results? If you’re frustrated with all of the products advertising ageless skin, and you want something backed by science, then listen in as we are joined by Anastasia and Amitay, the founders of Young Goose, to discuss their groundbreaking approach to skincare through biohacking with NAD (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide). 

We discuss the concept of biohacking, its transformative potential for skincare, and holistic methods to boost NAD levels, emphasizing lifestyle choices such as exercise, intermittent fasting, proper sleep, and gut health as natural ways to enhance NAD levels. We also discuss the misleading marketing term “clean” in skincare, and give insights on changing your skincare routine based on your menstrual cycle. 

Amitay Eshel and Anastasia Khodzhaeva founded Young Goose in 2017 with the goal of introducing science to the skin care industry. They have since developed a product line of bio-hacking treatments to aid in anti-aging and skin repair.

Do you struggle to find meaningful ways to celebrate the special people in your life? In today’s Mini Drop episode of The WellDrop Podcast, we dive into Dina's favorite home hacks that can help you create a more loving, connected, and healthy home environment.

We discuss one of Dina's key tips: prioritize family dinners, even if it's just once a week. Sitting down together without phones, enjoying a meal, and connecting with loved ones can have a profound impact on everyone's well-being. We discuss the research behind this and the benefits that come from it. 

Tune in to this special birthday episode to discover more of Dina's wisdom, from her morning rituals to her favorite natural cleaning solutions. You'll come away inspired to make small changes that can lead to a happier, healthier life for you and your family.

What We Discuss:

Key Takeaways: 

• Start your day right with a healthy ritual. Dina begins each morning by drinking a large glass of room temperature water with chlorophyll. This helps to alkalize and cleanse the body. 
• Prioritize family dinners, even just once a week. It’s important to sit down and enjoy meals together as a family, without phones, as often as you can manage - ideally a few times a week. 
• Make your own natural cleaning products. With just water, alcohol, and 10-20 drops of your favorite essential oils, you can easily mix up a natural cleaning solution in a spray bottle.
