Today, we talk about one of my favorite biohacking topics: hormones. Starting way back before I first had kids, I’ve studied hormones as they relate to fertility – leading to the first of just a few books over the years, The Better Baby Book. And it's been an area of passion ever since because hormones also control your mood and your energy levels and your happiness.So I wanted to invite Dr. Francesca LeBlanc on the show – someone who has a very interesting blend of being a board certified chiropractor, a doctor of natural medicine, and a clinical nutritionist – to take us through the winding roads of food, lifestyle, and hormones in women. You could call this functional medicine, but Dr. Francesca LeBlanc has a unique spin on it. For years in her 20s and 30s, she suffered from brain fog, mood swings, irregular cycles, insomnia, depression, and anxiety. She spun her wheels with the allopathic model before discovering that the root cause of her symptoms could be traced back to hormone imbalances. Now, Dr. LeBlanc helps patients understand that it’s not all in their heads, and that they can live normal, symptom-free, joyful lives.In this conversation, we dive into her holistic healing journey, and how pioneers in the health biohacking space – including myself – guided and inspired her to create the hormone hierarchy; linking hormones to other chemicals in the brain. We explore what diet and lifestyle changes to make that can significantly improve not only how you feel but how your body functions, identify common deficiencies and inhibitors to healthy hormones, and share tools for stress management.(02:25) Painful Early Steps on Her Journey to Wellness(06:51) Basics of Hormones & Pregnancy(11:39) How Mold & Environmental Toxins Damage Hormones(21:03) Foods That Keep Your Hormones Healthy(27:06) The Hormone Hierarchy(34:44) Most Common Metals Impacting Women’s Hormones(40:33) Tools for Stress Management(48:03) Exploring Various Gateways to Holistic Health Hacking(58:32) Addressing Mineral DeficienciesResourcesSponsor: Go to www.DrinkLMNT.com/Dave and receive a free Sample Pack with your purchase.Dave Asprey’s NEW Book ‘Smarter Not Harder’ is out now: https://daveasprey.com/books Instagram: @drfrancescaleblancWebsite: labwellhealthcare.comThe Human Upgrade is produced by Crate Media.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Today, let's delve into a topic often overlooked but crucial for our overall health: our skin. Over the past decade, I've started seeing our skin as more than just a protective layer; it's a major organ, just like our liver or heart. Its health goes beyond appearances – it profoundly influences our biology and well-being.Today, I welcome Carolina Reis Oliveira, the founder of OneSkin, a skin health company, to the show. She'll share exciting insights from recent research on specific peptides that can transform your skin's appearance and functionality.Here's the intriguing part: your skin's health closely links to your body's overall health. Inflamed or unhealthy skin signals underlying issues within your system. Conversely, improving your skin's health can reduce systemic inflammation and positively impact your organs. This revelation led me to discover a groundbreaking peptide called OS-01, found using advanced AI and novel compound-searching techniques.Carolina will explain how peptide OS-01 can reverse your skin’s biological age, the differences in their body, face, and eye formulas, the benefits of their mineral sunscreen to combat skin damage and reduce inflammation, and their new method to measure skin age.If you're considering investing in longevity, this episode is a game-changer. By tackling skin inflammation, you're not only enhancing your appearance but also reducing systemic inflammation, a double win.(00:02:30) Discovering OS-01 & How the Peptide Tackles Skin Aging(00:16:45) Inside the Different OneSkin Formulas for Face & Eyes(00:21:46) Boost the Effects of OS-01 Face With the OneSkin Cleanser(00:24:26) How & Where To Use the Body Lotion for Optimal Results(00:28:02) Exploring Potential OS-01 Systemic Effects(00:34:46) Finding the Right Dose With the OneSkin Formula(00:38:28) Benefits & Use Recommendations for Mineral Based Sunscreen(00:42:27) How OneSkin Activates Collagen & Hyaluronic Acid Production(00:44:43) The MolClock: Discovering a New Way To Measure Skin AgingResourcesDave Asprey’s NEW Book ‘Smarter Not Harder’ is out now: https://daveasprey.com/books Website: oneskin.co (use code upgrade15 for 15% off)Instagram: @oneskin.coThe Human Upgrade is produced by Crate Media.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode of The Human Upgrade my guest fits right into the podcast transition to The Human Upgrade because he gets into the grittiness of what humans can do to level themselves up. No. 1 New York Times bestselling author Robert Greene shares science-backed knowledge about human nature.You know you want to be more powerful, more in control and excellent at what you do.Robert’s insights help you do just that. He gives you actionable tips that help you unlock limitations you may be putting on yourself so you can move your life upward and forward. (Similar to something I like to tell my team is great momentum: “up and to the right.”) World leaders, military generals, business executives, philosophers, and hip-hop moguls alike revere Robert’s books.After writing about mastery and power for more than two decades, he’s now become a TikTok sensation and the universal truth for a new generation. He’s one of my favorite authors who’s profoundly influenced my own life and been on the podcast twice before. Both episodes are must listens: The 48 Laws of Power – #380 and The Laws of Human Nature – #575. I asked him back to talk about his latest book: “The Daily Laws: 366 Meditations on Power, Seduction, Mastery, Strategy, and Human Nature.” “In “The 48 Laws of Power,” I talk about deception and con artists,” Robert says. “But in The Laws of Human Nature, it's almost about self-deception, how we're con artists with ourselves, how we create an image of ourselves as being morally right, being a good person, being intelligent, being rational, being empathetic. Whereas in fact, we're usually quite far below that ideal. … Because your default position is to always look externally and blame other people.”In “The Daily Laws,” he distills the best of his previous books and never-before-published material in to one amazing life guide for you. He lays out themes for each month of the year: Power, seduction, persuasion, strategy, human nature, toxic people, self-control, mastery, psychology, leadership, adversity and creativity. Within these themes he features a “daily law” for you to follow.“By not looking at ourselves in an honest way, and glossing over our own flaws and weaknesses, we become trapped in patterns of behavior that we cannot control,” Robert says in his new book. “As the years go by, and the misreadings, missteps, and unrealistic decisions pile up, we can become bitter confused, and damaged.”“The Daily Laws” is designed to reverse [these] toxic patterns and reconnect you to reality,” Robert says. “It takes aim at the various delusions we have all absorbed and seeks to attune your mind instead to the most entrenched traits of human nature and how our brains actually operate.”Listen on for the truth bombs.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
