Today I am speaking with Carolina Reis Oliveira, OneSkin Co-Founder & CEO.

We discuss the importance of addressing the root cause of skin aging and the role of senescent cells in the aging process. We also talk about the skin barrier and how it can become compromised. Carolina shares her thoughts on retinol and the importance of listening to your skin's reaction to products. OneSkin measures skin aging through the epigenetic signature of the skin. OneSkin has developed a peptide called OS1 that has been shown to reduce the age of the skin by 2.5 years in humans. The peptide works by reducing the load of senescent cells and promoting collagen production. OneSkin is constantly researching and developing new products to target skin aging and are exploring the potential of using their peptide for other inflammatory conditions. OneSkin believes in the importance of staying at the forefront of scientific research and innovation to provide the most effective products for skin aging.

I am speaking with Christian Drapeau, inventor of a plant-based stem cell product for health and longevity, Stemregen.

Christian is more than a scientist; he’s a stem cell expert and herbalist, pioneering plant-based stem cell enhancers. Yes, plants and stem cells together! His background from McGill University and work at Stemtech International make him a leading voice in stem cell science.

His book, ‘Cracking the Stem Cell Code,’ reveals how our bodies use stem cells for repair, and his latest research shows how aquatic plants can boost stem cell production, like nature’s own fountain of youth.

We’ll explore how Christian’s journey in ancient herbalism led to innovative discoveries in stem cell enhancement and clarify the difference between traditional procedures and products like STEMREGEN.

Today I am sitting down with my friend, Dave Asprey. Dave is the father of Biohacking and has been a friend and mentor for years. We discuss all things longevity and biohacking!

About Dave:

Dave Asprey is best known as the founder of Bulletproof Coffee and the entire Biohacking movement. As a four-time New York Times bestselling author, CEO of Upgrade Labs, and host of a Webby award-winning, top 100 podcast, The Human Upgrade (formerly Bulletproof Radio), Dave is a maverick in the entrepreneurial health science and biotechnology space.
As a true pioneer, Dave was the first person to ever sell a product online, and of course, it was related to coffee. He sold caffeine t-shirts out of his dorm room before the web browser was even invented which earned him a profile in Entrepreneur Magazine. Dave became an early internet technology journalist, cyber security expert, and co-founded a division of Exodus Communications, a company that seeded the internet we know today.
At only 28 years old, Dave’s phenomenal career success left him battling cognitive fog, arthritis, pre-diabetes, put him at high risk for stroke, and with the biochemistry of a 60-year-old. His own premature aging launched him on a quest to reclaim his health and vitality, lose over 100 pounds, and not only reverse his biological age but increase his IQ by over 12 points! This work led him to create The Bulletproof Diet and to coin the health science term “biohacking,” a word once deemed “fringe” yet now resides in the Merriam Webster dictionary, along with Dave Aprey as part of the definition.
Dave's relentless pursuit of human potential drove him to invest nearly $2 million in upgrading his biology and run the world's first and largest biohacking conference, earning him the title "Father of Biohacking." You’ve seen him featured in Men's Health, the Today Show, Wired, Good Morning America, the New York Times, Fast Company, and many other major publications. Forbes named his company one of the top 20 most innovative brands in the world, and he’s credited with creating three unique billion-dollar markets: MCT Oil, Collagen Protein, and Functional Coffee.
Dave’s mission is to help people upgrade to a happier, more conscious state, one cell at a time.
As the founder of 40 Years of Zen, Dave applies neuroscience to personal transformation. 40 Years of Zen is the world's most exclusive five-day intensive for upgrading the brain. Attracting Hollywood celebrities, C-suite executives, professional athletes, and other global elite, Dave’s programs are leading human evolution.
Dave divides his time between Vancouver Island, BC, and Austin, Texas, enjoying time with his two children while sharing dad jokes that never fail to induce groans and eye-rolls!

Today Dr. Killen and I discuss hormone optimization and hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for women. She explains that HRT can start in perimenopause, around the age of 35-40, and involves replacing hormones like progesterone, testosterone, and estrogen to maintain optimal levels.

Dr. Killen also highlights the benefits of HRT, including improved libido, motivation, skin health, fat burning, and muscle building. She recommends regular hormone testing and discusses the different types of hormone administration, such as creams and injections. Additionally, she addresses the issue of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and the importance of early detection and treatment. In this conversation, Dr. Killen and Kayla Barnes discuss various topics related to women's health, including hormone replacement therapy (HRT), polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), longevity supplements, sexual health, and skin health.

Today I sit down with my good friend Dr. Casey Means. We are discussing all things metabolic health, the state of health care, and GOOD ENERGY!

About Good Energy:

What if depression, anxiety, infertility, insomnia, heart disease, erectile dysfunction, type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer’s dementia, cancer and many other health conditions that torture and shorten our lives actually have the same root cause?

The truth is, they do. And our ability to prevent and reverse these conditions - and feel incredible NOW - is under our control and simpler than we think. The key is our metabolic function: the way we make energy in our cells and bodies. The ability to make good energy in our bodies is the most important and least understood factor in our overall health, and the biggest blindspot in healthcare.

About Dr. Casey:

Casey Means, MD is a Stanford-trained physician and co-founder of Levels, a health technology company with the mission of reversing the world’s metabolic health crisis. Her book on metabolic health, Good Energy, comes out in May 2024 with Penguin Random House. She received her BA with honors and MD from Stanford, was President of her Stanford class, and has served on Stanford faculty. She trained in Head & Neck Surgery before leaving traditional medicine to devote her life to tackling the root cause of why Americans are sick. She has been featured in The New York Times, The New Yorker, The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Women’s Health, and more.

“My journey began after experiencing a family member’s battle with cancer, after being made aware of the toxins in everyday items we struggled to find a mattress that offered pressure relief and posture support without introducing toxins to the bedroom. I realized at that point how important this was not only for someone battling disease, but also healthy people.
That’s when Essentia was born, 18 years later and we’re more than just the world’s healthiest mattresses. Essentia has revolutionized sleep and how it impacts your environment. The frenzy of the bed-in-a-box has reached absurd heights today, yet nothing has changed as far as health and wellness of the products being offered. This is where Essentia stands alone, providing products made with natural and organic components and unparalleled quality without compromise.
People everywhere have realized the importance of healthy, natural choices during the 16 hours they’re awake. With sleep as the foundation of wellness, we’re determined to fill that same need for the eight hours they’re asleep.”

James Nestor is a journalist and an author. Today we discuss the power of your breath.

James has written for Scientific American, Outside Magazine, The New York Times, The Atlantic, National Public Radio, Surfer’s Journal, The San Francisco Chronicle, and several other publications. In short, James Nestor believes that the world has lost the ability to breathe properly. After spending his years in laboratories and ancient burial sites with researchers from educational institutions like Stanford and the University of Pennsylvania, he finally learned what went wrong with our breathing and found ways to fix it. He discovered that the problem lies in the fact that an estimated 25% to 50% of the population habitually breathes through their mouths. He believes that being conscious of the proper way to breathe would save us from stress and diseases and give us the deep relaxing sleep we have always wanted. From his discovery, James has spent the last several years working on a book called Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art. It was released on May 26, 2020, and was an instant New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and Los Angeles Times, Sunday London Times Top 10 bestseller. James continues to educate his friends and other people on the positive impacts that changing a simple habit such as breathing can do in your life and protect you against diseases. And today, he shares his breathing expertise with you all so you can improve your health, happiness, and overall life.

If you are just getting started on your journey to optimal health, or you are getting refocused on your health. These are my top tips.   If you are just getting started on your journey to optimal health, or you are getting refocused on your health. These are my top tips. 

If you're just getting started, do these things.   

Go to bed earlier. By getting adequate sleep, you set yourself up for success the next day. Go bed by 10 pm.  

Get up when your alarm goes off. You need to create new habits and develop discipline. Habits can take between eighteen and two hundred and fifty days to develop. Start now.  

Get sun into the eyes every morning to set your circadian rhythm.  

Take a cold shower every morning to boost dopamine and serotonin and increase energy. You can start with 30 seconds of cold and work up. Other options for cold are cold immersion, like a cold tub, jumping in a cold body of water, or cryotherapy.  

 Get ten to fifteen thousand steps every day.  

 Swap processed foods for whole foods.   

Exercise (I prefer strength training) three to five times per week.

Today I am speaking with Dr. Jenn Simmons, MD on all things breast cancer, breast cancer prevention and treatment.

About Dr. Jenn

Integrative Oncologist, Author, Podcast Host, and the founder of PerfeQTion Imaging Her journey into breast cancer care began with a personal tragedy. At the age of 16, Dr. Jenn's cousin, acclaimed singer-songwriter Linda Creed, died of metastatic breast cancer just weeks after Whitney Houston's recording of her iconic song, "The Greatest Love of All," topped the charts. This loss became a defining moment, inspiring Dr. Jenn to dedicate her life to transforming how we approach breast cancer treatment and prevention.
Dr. Jenn became Philadelphia's first fellowship-trained breast surgeon and spent 17 years leading the field. This personal journey led her to create Real Health MD in 2019, a practice dedicated to holistic healing for breast cancer. It integrates conventional wisdom with root cause medicine and the drivers of health: nutrition, lifestyle changes, detoxification, and stress management. Dr. Jenn's innovative approach doesn't stop there. As the founder of PerfeQTion Imaging, she is establishing safe imaging centers across the nation, armed with revolutionary technology that promises to redefine breast cancer screening. This technology is not only fast and safe but also comfortable, affordable, radiation-free, and boasts 40 times the resolution of MRI. It has received FDA clearance, signaling a new era in breast health and breast cancer screening.
Beyond her professional endeavors, Dr. Jenn is a devoted wife, mother, stepmother, grandmother, and athlete. Her life's mission is deeply personal, rooted in her cousin's memory, and driven by a desire to make a lasting impact on all those who desire breast health. As she famously says, "Breast Health is Health!"
