260. Dr. Jennifer Berman: Peptides, Hormones, and the Anti-Aging Protocol Most Women Start Too Late Jul 1, 2026 01:05:00 We have been getting the same question in our DMs for months now. Peptides are everywhere. Everyone is talking about them. But what actually has evidence behind it, what is hype, and where do hormones fit into all of this? So we went and found someone who has been living this conversation for 35 years, not just talking about it.Dr. Jennifer Berman is a urologist, New York Times bestselling author,
259. Dr. Dan Pardi: How Creatine Supports Brain Function, Skin Health, and DNA Repair Jun 24, 2026 51:36 Creatine has been boxed in as a gym-bro supplement for decades, but the latest research shows it's doing far more than building muscle. It buffers brain energy under sleep deprivation, supporting bone density and mood stability through perimenopause, and freeing up methyl groups for detoxification and DNA repair.We dive deeper into this in the Biohacking Beauty Podcast with Dr. Dan Pardi. We also
258. SPF Is Not Enough: The Cellular Repair Protocol Your Skin Needs This Summer Jun 17, 2026 39:04 When summer skin starts looking dull, congested, tired, or slower to recover, it is easy to blame the obvious things: heat, sweat, sunscreen, long days outside, or the wrong moisturizer. So the conversation usually stays on the surface. Use SPF. Cleanse better. Switch to lighter products. Add antioxidants. But before we treat summer skin like another product problem, there is a deeper question wor
257. The Mitochondria Problem Behind Aging Skin + How to Recharge Your Skin and Look Younger Jun 10, 2026 34:30 Every fibroblast inside your dermis right now is asking 200 to 2,000 mitochondria to power its work in real time, and those mitochondria are descendants of a free-living bacterium swallowed by a larger cell 2 billion years ago. As you age, those mitochondria run slower and your cells build fewer of them to replace the ones that fail.In this solo episode, Young Goose co-founder Amitay Eshel breaks
Dr. Tyler Panzner: Hidden Trade-Offs of Longevity Supplements and the Advantage of Topical Delivery Jun 3, 2026 01:09:30 Roughly 25% to 30% of the population carries slow variants in the MAOA or COMT genes, the two enzymes responsible for clearing adrenaline, dopamine, and serotonin from the brain.For these individuals, common polyphenols marketed for inflammation and longevity, including curcumin, act as weak MAOA inhibitors that further slow neurotransmitter breakdown. The result is a quiet buildup of stimulation
The Death of Anti-Aging Skincare & The Longevity Framework That Replaces It May 29, 2026 45:47 Your skin has a biological age and for most people, it's not the same as their chronological one. Mayo Clinic published the SkinSpan framework this year specifically to quantify it, and the 12 Hallmarks of Aging now have a direct application to dermal tissue.This raises an uncomfortable question: if you're already optimizing everything below the neck with NAD IVs, peptides, and red light, why is t
The Overlooked Side of Autophagy Causing Aging - Part 2 May 27, 2026 31:03 The melanocytes giving pigment to your skin right now might be older than your car. They have been sitting in your dermis for decades, and unlike the cells on your skin's surface, they do not get replaced. They have to keep themselves clean which happens through autophagy.In Part 2 of our autophagy deep dive, we get specific about how skin handles autophagy differently from other parts of the body
The Overlooked Side of Autophagy Causing Aging - Part 1 May 20, 2026 26:17 What if your skin could literally rebuild itself from the inside out? In this episode, we break down one of the most powerful and misunderstood biological processes in the human body: autophagy.From its Nobel Prize-winning discovery to the molecular machinery that drives it, we walk you through exactly what autophagy is, how it works at the cellular level, and why it matters far more than most peo
Chris Mirabile: Why One Ingredient Will Never Stop You From Aging (And What Actually Does) May 13, 2026 51:18 Most of what the supplement and skincare industry sells for aging targets one pathway at a time. But your biology does not age that way. It declines across 12 interconnected processes simultaneously, and by the time one of them shows up on your skin, the others have already been running for years.We at Young Goose believe that skin longevity is not a topical problem. It is a whole biology problem,
Biohackers React To Viral SkinTok Videos on Dermaroller, Red Light Therapy Wands & Tretinoin May 6, 2026 33:04 Most of what goes viral on SkinTok is missing one thing. The part where someone actually checks if it works.In this bonus episode, Amitay and Anastasia break down three of the most viral skincare trends circulating today, red light therapy wands, at-home dermarolling, and tretinoin, and run each one through a biohacker's lens.

Real Talk on Motherhood, Postpartum Skin, and Rebuilding from the Inside Out with Anastasia Khodzhaeva Apr 29, 2026 01:01:18 Mothers sacrifice so much of themselves to carry another human being in their body for nine months. Even after childbirth, there's a phase called the fourth trimester because babies are still heavily dependent on moms for their survival.Motherhood looks different for every woman. For Anastasia, who is a first-time mom, motherhood looked particularly different since her family is overseas and she's

Here, we get into what actually works to raise NAD+ in the skin, the real precursors, the delivery technology that gets them where they need to go, and the m
