Unconventional Biohacks for More Radiant & Resilient Skin - Rachel Varga : 1092

Unconventional Biohacks for More Radiant & Resilient Skin - Rachel Varga : 1092

Who doesn’t want more radiant skin? Not only is our skin our largest organ, but it influences our confidence and how we connect with others. That’s why I'm excited to be sitting down at my Austin, Texas studio with skin expert and longtime friend, Rachel Varga. Rachel is a double board-certified aesthetic nurse specialist, having performed over 20,000 procedures since 2011. She was one of the first to combine functional slow-aging techniques, biohacking, and modern medical aesthetics—teaching us how to tune in to what our skin is telling us about our internal health and what to do about it. Not only has she had a significant impact on the world of skin science, but she's also trained countless doctors, nurses, and their teams on the art of aesthetics.I can personally vouch for Rachel's expertise as she's worked on my skin, enhancing it with innovative techniques involving lights and other intriguing procedures. But today, it's not just about aesthetics or vanity. We dive deep into the health of our skin, specifically discussing how to reduce oxidative stress and implement purification and detoxification techniques to become radiant from the inside out. With Rachel's unique insights you don't typically hear in the skincare space, you'll learn secrets to having not just younger-looking skin, but more pure energetics. What you’ll find is that healthy skin is not just about putting some crap on top of it, it's about nourishing your skin from the inside, doing the energetic practices of biohacking, and then using vetted products that actually work and are safe. If you're hungry for more, Rachel helps inspire others with her unique strategies to slow cellular aging and enhance radiance at TheSchoolofRadiance.com and has previously graced us with her wisdom on of this podcast (#668).

As someone who's written extensively on longevity and aims to live to at least 180, I believe in the importance of happiness as a skill. With Dr. Saad, we explore living the life you truly desire, the role of anti-fragility in happiness, and the inherent biological differences in male and female behaviors. It's crucial, especially in today's climate, to understand the triggers that may be rooted in our biology or false belief systems.

Unlocking Health Through Your Genetic Code: Healing from Veganism, Chronic Pain & Stressors - Chris Masterjohn : 1090

Unlocking Health Through Your Genetic Code: Healing from Veganism, Chronic Pain & Stressors - Chris Masterjohn : 1090

Today, we welcome back a guest from the early days of this podcast, fellow former vegan and esteemed researcher and scientist, Chris Masterjohn. Chris Masterjohn earned his PhD in Nutritional Sciences from the University of Connecticut, and has worked as a postdoctoral research associate and Assistant Professor of Health and Nutrition Sciences. In 2016, he transitioned to entrepreneurship. These days, Chris conducts independent research, consults, develops information products, and creates free content to help people improve their health. Chris is dedicated to sharing practical principles from complex science, and to the pursuit of truth and continuous learning. He's a biohacker from before the word “biohacking” came to be, appearing on episode 16 of this podcast when I was just getting that movement started, because he not only pays attention to how stuff works in the world and academic research, but he hacks his own body. I've always liked the way he thinks mechanistically about biology, nutrients, and what to eat. In this conversation, we talk about how to recover from veganism and reverse the effects of oxalates, highlighting the long term health impacts of the vegan diet. His own self experimentation lately is of particular interest to me as he’s been exploring the intersection of genetics and mitochondrial health to heal niche health conditions and even quell extreme fears or stressors.We also talk about the link between energy metabolism and psychological trauma, chronic pain and oxalate overload, and even explore the potential dangers of methylene blue from his latest 58 page research paper breaking down the importance of correct dosing. If you’re a true biohacker, you’re going to love this deep dive into how minerals and metabolism play a huge role in our biology.(03:47) Genetic Optimization: A New Approach to Healing Chronic Pain & Disease• How his perspective on nutrition has changed since our first episode• The extreme effects veganism had on his health• Using genetics research to find solutions to rare health issues• The role of AI in diagnosing health conditions—now and in the future• Focusing on mitochondria as the root cause to heal health issues • Access his program: chrismasterjohnphd.com• What will reverse the anti fertility trend?• The psychological rewiring required to heal chronic disease states • Lowering your stress response with GABA and hierarchical exposure therapy• How energy metabolism and psychological trauma symptoms are related(32:08) Recovering from Veganism & Oxalate Overload• Can you do veganism well?• Addressing the impact of plant toxins and oxalates• The link between chronic pain and oxalate overload• How to reverse the effects of oxalates• The use of biotin to clear oxalates and dosing suggestions• Read: Toxic Superfoods by Sally Norton • Oxalate dumping symptoms explained • Advice for recovering vegans• Read: Le Chatelier's principle• Viome: viome.com(01:04:09) Methylene Blue: Potential Dangers & Dosage Recommendations• The dangers of combining methylene blue with ayahuasca and psychedelics• Research conclusions on methylene blue dosing• How methylene blue can impact people with Alzheimer’s• Side effects of combining methylene blue with SSRIs• Using methylene blue to help allergy sufferers• ED as a side effect of methylene blueResourcesDave Asprey’s NEW Book ‘Smarter Not Harder’ is out now: https://daveasprey.com/books Website: chrismasterjohnphd.comFacebook: facebook.com/chrismasterjohnX: twitter.com/ChrisMasterjohnRumble: rumble.com/user/chrismasterjohnYouTube: youtube.com/user/chrismasterjohnGab: gab.com/chrismasterjohnTelegram: t.me/chrismasterjohnphdGETTR: gettr.com/user/chrismasterjohnPodcast: Everything You Need To Know About Saturated Fat & Cholesterol with Chris Masterjohn #16Podcast: Nicotine, the Perfect Psychotropic?

The Science of Sex: Longevity, Pleasure & Performance - Susan Bratton : 1087

Today's episode is with my friend Susan Bratton, who is an intimacy expert with 20 years of experience. She runs a publishing company called Better Lover, and has a supplement company called The 20. Her expertise is in ageless sexuality, sexual biohacking, libido supplementation, and sexual regenerative therapies that roll back the clock on aging.Whether you're a man or a woman, you’ll learn the specific things you can do to change the performance, the shape, the sensitivity, and the longevity of this amazing part of your body. All life on earth—human and otherwise—runs through the same set of automated decision making that happens before your brain even gets engaged, one of which is what we’ll be talking about today, which keeps the species alive forever. Let’s call it fertility. It is actually a source of nourishment for us. So when you're of the appropriate age, this is as important as eating, breathing and drinking water. Yet, we pay more attention to our food than we do to our reproductive and recreational sides of staying connected to our humanness. That's why Susan's on the show today. She shares the science behind the link between intimacy and longevity, explains how to prevent atrophy in these important areas of our bodies, dispels myths about self-pleasure, gives a tutorial on all kinds of toys that can increase function and pleasure for all genders, and lists tips for creating more connection and communication in the bedroom.

Reclaim Your Health Freedom: Understanding the Systems Keeping Us Sick - Ivor Cummins : 1085

Reclaim Your Health Freedom: Understanding the Systems Keeping Us Sick - Ivor Cummins : 1085

If you're frustrated with a system prioritizing profit over societal well-being, this episode is pivotal. Today, we dive deep with Ivor Cummins, a Dublin-based biochemical engineer with a knack for simplifying complex topics. Based on his personal history of insulin resistance and health struggles, he was able to self-heal through nutrition and a low carb diet. In this conversation, we examine the nexus of insulin resistance, heart health, and the current medical system’s failure to diagnose and treat metabolic diseases.Our discussion sheds light on the origins of our current societal framework and its influence on our health and choices. Ivor's unique perspective, combining the understanding of intricate systems in both power and biology, illustrates a clear parallel: We’ve been given systems that aren’t working for the greater good. In many cases, our health is in our own hands. Mine and Ivor’s stories of weight loss are two of millions examples of that. However, recognizing these facts offers hope, because when you’re informed and aware, you have the freedom to choose what’s right for you, and the confidence to stand up for it. With that goal in mind, we examine the impact of influential figures like the Rockefellers and J.P. Morgan, discuss what’s going on at the WHO in response to the recent COVID pandemic, and explain the need for distributed versus central governing systems, among many other blockades to true freedom we’re currently facing. Expanding our collective awareness through these conversations is the key to reclaiming control over our lives. Lastly, I can’t emphasize enough the power of consumer choice. Institutions can't dictate our spending without offering value. There's a peaceful, two-fold solution to our current dilemma— leveraging technology and altering our behaviors. But most importantly, dispelling the pervasive myths that have clouded our understanding and judgment for decades.
