Ayurveda Meets Biohacking: 5000-Year-Old Medicine Secrets for Modern Stress | Mona Sharma : 1284

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.

Friends, it is my great pleasure to introduce Vani Hari, aka Food Babe, someone I've had the privilege of knowing for nearly a decade. She is a relentless advocate for clean, safe, and wholesome food. She has dedicated herself to a tireless campaign aimed at eliminating harmful ingredients from our food supply, particularly in the United States, where food standards can sometimes be shockingly low. Her efforts have been resolute in challenging major food corporations when their practices are detrimental to the well-being of our children and society as a whole. Vani Hari's mission is driven by a genuine concern for the greater good, and I dare say that she has had a more significant impact on food safety and quality than some of the regulatory agencies tasked with these responsibilities in the first place. Vani’s new book, Food Baby Family: More Than 100 Recipes and Foolproof Strategies to Help Your Kids Fall in Love with Real Food serves as a comprehensive guide for how her family navigates the challenges of living in a world filled with overly processed, unhealthy food options. In this conversation we discuss the importance of educating your kids on processed foods and proper nutrition early on. Vani and I share some of the lessons we’ve learned in teaching our kids about nutrition, and how we’ve empowered them to choose foods that make them feel good.Together, we have the power to stand up against the multibillion-dollar conglomerates that persist in feeding us products that are, in essence, poison. By making informed, healthier choices for ourselves and our families, we can redirect our resources toward companies that are genuinely committed to improving the landscape and producing high-quality products.(00:03:10) Vani Hari's Journey in Food Activism & ResilienceHow Vani unveiled hidden chemicals in our foodExposing a harmful chemical in Subway bread Read: Feeding You Lies By Vani HariBeing targeted by organized oppositionHow Vani’s health journey inspired her to find purposeNavigating constant badgering online being paid for by big chemical companies How Gabby Bernstein helped Vani persevere through manipulations and attacksThe history of PR in the USWhat drives Vani to continue this workRead: Food Babe Family By Vani Hari (00:24:16) The Truth About Processed Foods & How to Uphold Your Food Values SociallyHow the food industry thrives on making food that isn’t good for our health Removing processed foods from your dietThe importance of educating kids about processed foods early on Teaching kids to be kind and acceptingCommunicating why you do/don’t buy certain foods to your kidsWhat happened when I took my daughters to McDonald’s for the first time How fast food hijacks your brainExposing chemicals in the infamous Pumpkin Spice LatteHow to uphold your food values in social settingsWhy goldfish are banned in Vani’s house and alternative snacks(00:40:41) Helping Kids Navigate Their Food Choices to Make Healthier DecisionsHealthy, satiating breakfast ideas for kidsTruvani collagen: shop.truvani.com/pages/collagen-peptidesWhy Kellogg is one of the most evil companies in the worldEmpowering kids to choose how they feel through the food they eatHow processed foods led to Vani’s appendicitisBeing a happier parent by being less of a perfectionistHow kids can hold you accountableResourcesDave Asprey’s NEW Book ‘Smarter Not Harder’ is out now: https://daveasprey.com/books Read: Food Babe Family By Vani Hari Website: foodbabe.comYouTube: youtube.com/thefoodbabeInstagram: @thefoodbabeShop: truvani.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.

In this episode, we're broadcasting live from Toronto with Dr. Adeel Khan, a leading figure in the field of gene and cell therapies. Dr. Adeel Khan, who holds an M.D. and is a Canadian Board Certified Physician, specializes in regenerative and cellular medicine. He is also a recognized authority as a key opinion leader for The American College of Regenerative Medicine, the foremost advocate for best practices in North America. Notably, he co-founded Xalt, a fitness-technology company, and played a pivotal role in the development of their proprietary technologies. Additionally, he serves as the Chief Scientific Officer for Science & Humans, a virtual hormonal health company. Dr. Khan's expertise extends globally, as he has treated world champion athletes, members of Royal Families, and celebrities in both Dubai and North America.Personally, I'm thrilled to share that I've recently undergone gene therapy for the very first time in my life. This is a significant moment for me because I've been envisioning the potential of this technology in the context of longevity for the past two decades. In fact, I documented my beliefs about the ability to manipulate stem cells to reverse their aging process in my book, Superhuman. The gene therapy I received, which we'll delve into shortly, was administered via a simple injection. Over the next three to six months, it's expected to reduce my biological age, or intrinsic age, by an impressive seven to nine years—a monumental outcome from just one treatment.Throughout this episode, we'll explore various aspects of stem cell research, particularly the historical use of umbilical cells, which may hold some surprising revelations for you. We'll also discuss the challenges in translating cutting-edge medical research into practical clinical applications and the incredible potential of gene and cell therapy in addressing chronic pain, cancer, and other medical conditions. What's particularly exciting is Dr. Khan's multifaceted approach to biology, working on multiple fronts to harness its potential. This innovative approach offers a glimpse into a promising future, and I couldn't be more thrilled to dive into this conversation.(01:36) Exploring the Impact of Technological Advances & Gene Therapy in Regenerative Medicine• Pure Muscle: puremuscleandfitness.com• Unite Mind & Body to Achieve Health & Healing – Dr. Andrew Weil – #656• How technological advances have impacted the world of regenerative medicine• Learn more: daveasprey.com/genetherapy• Keeping up with the rapid development of medical science• What is plasmid gene therapy? • The history of gene therapy research and accepting the risk of innovation• The attitude towards innovation in other parts of the world• We Can Slow Down Aging Right Now – David Sinclair, Ph.D. – #626• How phellostatin relates to aging (20:42) Revolutionary & Innovative Approaches to Health & Longevity• Democratizing health for everyone with gene therapy • Benefits of intranasal insulin• How industry cross-pollination encourages lateral thinking • Read: Ego Is The Enemy by Ryan Holiday• Explaining the limitations of umbilical cord stem cells and how they’re being optimized• Using gene editing technology to create specific stem cell lines • Using stem cell technology for hair and the reproductive system• The ability for breast enlargement with stem cells (42:47) Stem Cell & Gene Therapy Applications for Cancer & Chronic Pain• The opportunity for chronic disease healing with stem cell therapy• Using CAR T for cancer treatment • Target gene therapies to fix irregular pathways• Ways to improve mitochondrial efficiency• How bad actors could misuse this technology• The correlation between Tesla’s story and gene cell therapy• Big Pharma and government’s role in the suppression of revolutionary medical technology• Using this technology to build resilience in the body to combat modern stressors(01:10:08) Making Revolutionary Medical Advances More Accessible• The logistics of receiving gene cell therapy: how long they last and how they’re given• Improving the immune system through a microbiome upgrade with FMT• The difference between probiotics and FMT• Stem cell and gene therapy treatments for cardiovascular disease• The regulatory fight for your right to have control of your own biology• The problem with institutionalized medical doctors• Treating chronic pain and recognizing the chronic pain burden ResourcesGene Therapy: daveasprey.com/genetherapyDave Asprey’s NEW Book ‘Smarter Not Harder’ is out now: https://daveasprey.com/books Website: eterna.healthInstagram: @dr.akhanYouTube: Doctor AdeelThe 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, we cover something that everybody wants at some level or another—muscle. If you want to live a long time and you've fallen for the plant based nonsense science that's out there to sell more Froot Loops, well, you're heading in the wrong direction from a longevity perspective. The cold, hard truth is that skeletal muscle mass drives longevity.Dr. Gabrielle Lyon joins the show today to flex her own intellectual muscles on protein intake, reframing the hallmarks of aging, supplementing aminos, healthy fascia, and a whole lot more. You've heard her talk about these things online probably as much as I have; she calls what she does Muscle Centric Medicine—and as you can imagine, I am fully on board. She's looking at aging in exciting new ways in her new book, Forever Strong, which is packed with science-based strategies for aging well.We respectfully lock horns on a few subjects near and dear to our hearts—ranging into symptomatology vs. muscle health, key flaws in modern skeletal muscle research, where to draw the line on veganism, unlocking longevity through diet, and more—before landing on our shared responsibility to the greater community to share these insights for the common good.Dr. Gabrielle Lyon is a true heavyweight in the space and my dear friend, backing up her immense aptitude with real life results as a biohacker seemingly aging at a slower pace than one might expect.
