Biohacking Beauty: The Anti-Aging Skincare Podcast

• These Invisible Forces Are Aging Your Skin Faster Than You Think

  Hey everyone, welcome back to Biohacking Beauty! In this episode, we’re diving deep into a truth most skincare routines ignore: your environment might be aging you faster than time ever could.We start with a story of two identical twins, same genes, same skincare habits, but drastically different aging outcomes. Why? One lived surrounded by clean nature. The other, in an urban jungle filled with air pollution, EMFs, blue light, and toxic stress. The difference wasn’t just visible, it was cellular.In this episode, I explore how environmental stressors silently sabotage your skin by disrupting three critical biological systems. First, they deplete NAD+, second, they interfere with your epigenetic expression. And third, they impair autophagy, your body’s natural recycling system.I’ll walk you through the Skin Longevity Matrix, a radically different framework we developed at Young Goose to reverse aging from the inside out, by supporting your skin at its biological roots, not just masking symptoms at the surface.Let's dive in!

• Dr. Jessica Shepherd: The Shocking Truth About Menopause & Skin Aging (Most People Get This Wrong!)

  Most people think menopause is just about hot flashes and mood swings—but what if I told you it’s actually one of the biggest drivers of skin aging? From collagen loss to increased sensitivity, breakouts, and inflammation, hormonal shifts can make you look older, faster. And yet, no one is talking about it.To uncover the real impact of menopause on skin health (and what you can do about it), I’m joined by Dr. Jessica Shepherd, an OB-GYN, menopause expert, and founder of Sanctum Med & Wellness. She’s on a mission to rewrite the menopause narrative, showing women how to take control of their skin, hormones, and longevity.In this episode, we dive into the real impact of estrogen decline on skin aging, why some women experience sudden breakouts or rosacea in midlife, and how hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can play a role in both skin health and longevity. We also explore the connection between gut health, inflammation, and skin vitality, as well as the cutting-edge treatments and biohacking strategies that are changing the game for menopausal women.Dr. Shepherd is also the author of Generation M, a book that serves as both a medical and lifestyle guide for women navigating this stage of life. She breaks down why menopause isn’t just a phase, it’s a long-term shift that requires a strategic approach to aging well.If you’re looking for science-backed strategies to optimize your skin, hormones, and overall well-being through perimenopause and menopause, this episode is a must-listen.We Also Discuss:(00:02) Women's Health and Skin Aging(09:31) Hormone Therapy and Skin Rejuvenation(17:29) Effective Skincare Ingredients and Approaches(21:46) Longevity and Gut Health for Skin(31:42) Importance of Sleep for Longevity(39:08) Future of Women's Health Therapies(52:16) Embracing Aging With Agency and CuriosityLearn more about:Young GooseUse code PODCAST10 to get 10% off your first purchase, and if you’re a returning customer use the code PODCAST5 to get 5% off at https://www.younggoose.com/ Instagram: @young_goose_skincareDr. Jessica Shepherd➡️ Exclusive for Biohacking Beauty ListenersIf you’re serious about optimizing your skin health and hormones, here’s something special for you: Anyone who visits Dr. Jessica Shepherd’s clinic, and mentions the Biohacking Beauty Podcast will receive a complimentary skin consultation.Instagram: @jessicashepherdmd​Twitter: @JShepherd_MD​LinkedIn: Jessica Shepherd, MD, MBA, FACOG​Book: Get Dr. Jessica Shepherd’s Book Generation M

• Why Red Light Therapy in Your Skincare Routine Isn’t Enough (Until You Add THIS)

  Your skin is a reflection of your cellular health—but what if you could influence it on a deeper level? Red light therapy (photobiomodulation) is changing the way we think about aging, collagen production, and inflammation. In this episode of the Biohacking Beauty podcast, Amitay Eshel and Anastasia Khodzhaeva, co-founders of Young Goose Skincare, break down how red light therapy impacts skin longevity, from boosting collagen to reducing inflammation. They explain what determines individual results, the common mistakes people make, and how to get the most out of this powerful technology.But here’s the truth that not everyone knows: using red light therapy alone isn’t enough. To truly support skin regeneration, it needs the right biochemical environment. That’s where our newest LADR serum comes in—optimizing ATP production and reducing oxidative stress to help your skin work smarter. We break down exactly how to integrate this into your skincare routine, from layering antioxidants to timing your treatments for maximum benefit.We Also Discuss:(04:36) Why Red Light Therapy Is a Game-Changer For Your Skin(12:48) The Skincare Ingredients That Actually Work with Red Light Therapy(23:06) Creating a Red Light Therapy Skin Care RoutineLearn more about:Young GooseUse code PODCAST10 to get 10% off your first purchase, and if you’re a returning customer use the code PODCAST5 to get 5% off at https://www.younggoose.com/ Instagram: @young_goose_skincare

• The Silent Killer Inside Your Cells (And How to Fight Back)

  Hey everyone, welcome back to Biohacking Beauty! Today, we’re exploring one of the most fundamental mechanisms of aging—telomeres. These nucleotide sequences at the ends of our chromosomes act as protective caps, preserving DNA integrity during cell division. However, each time a cell replicates, telomeres shorten, eventually leading to cellular senescence, dysfunction, or apoptosis.In this solo episode, I’m breaking down the molecular mechanisms behind telomere shortening, how factors like oxidative stress, inflammation, and metabolic dysfunction accelerate the process, and, most importantly, what we can do to slow or even reverse this decline.We’ll dive into the latest research on NAD metabolism, autophagy, telomerase activation, and epigenetic regulation, as well as practical interventions like targeted supplementation, lifestyle modifications, and advanced skincare strategies that support telomere stability.If you’re serious about cellular longevity, DNA repair, and optimizing your skin health at the deepest level, this episode is a must-listen.Let’s get into it!I Also Discuss:(01:33 - 02:15) What Are Telomeres and Why Do They Matter?(03:42 - 04:19) The Hidden Danger of Cellular Aging(08:48 - 09:12) Can You Actually Reverse Telomere Shortening?(12:45 - 13:27) Why Your Skin Shows Signs of Aging First(10:41 - 11:12) The Best Supplements to Protect Your DNALearn More AboutYoung GooseUse code PODCAST10 to get 10% off your first purchase, and if you’re a returning customer use the code PODCAST5 to get 5% off at https://www.younggoose.com/ Instagram: @young_goose_skincare
