How can you turn on your longevity genes?
During this episode you’re going to learn how you can change your own genes? Not change the genes themselves but change which genes are turned on and which ones are turned off so that you can live longer and live healthier for longer.
Hannah Went is a molecular biologist who is changing what it means to age well. Hannah used to work for the International Peptide Society as their Director of Research and Content. Then, she saw an opportunity for methylation based age diagnostics and started TruDiagnostics in 2020.
Since TruDiagnostic’s inception, they have created one of the largest private epigenetic health databases in the world with over 75,000 patients tested to date. Hannah has since created Everything Epigenetics where she shares insights on how DNA regulation has an impact on your health.
In this episode Hannah ranks the top 4 habits that will help you live longer and the top one isn’t what you’d think - it’s not nutrition or exercise.
Hannah also takes us through her daily routine and tells us what habits she does and what supplements she takes to ensure a long healthy life.

Last month I had the amazing opportunity to speak at Ken Joslin’s CREATE Conference about how to become the healthiest version of yourself amidst the chaos of life.
The conference was filled with people who are hungry to grow in all areas of life - their health, faith, finances, career, and relationships. I was honored to be the expert guest speaker in the health area of life.
And I wanted to share my speech with y’all as episode #600 of The Best You Podcast.
I thought this would be a special way for me to pay tribute to y’all - the listeners of The Best You Podcast - the Best You community.
I started this podcast back in October of 2018 and have since released at least 1 episode and usually 2 episodes every single week.
This podcast has allowed me to increasingly find my voice, find my expertise, and continually grow in my passion for personal development and health and fitness.
Thank you so much for being with me over these past 5.5 years - it truly means the world that you tune in every single week to learn how to get closer to your Best You.
And if you’re new here, please subscribe. My name is Nick Carrier and I’m an entrepreneur and body optimization coach and I’ve coached over 600 people through our program the 10-Week Transformation.
I continue to promise to show up week in and week out with education and motivation to keep you progressing on your health and fitness journey.
This speech of mine was one of the first of hopefully many to come on a big stage in front of a big crowd. I hope you enjoy listening to the speech as much as I enjoyed giving it.
600 episodes down baby, here’s to 600 more and counting.
Here’s to getting closer to your Best You with the speech I gave at Ken Joslin’s CREATE conference just last month. I hope you enjoy it!

When you’re looking at your blood work, which numbers are important? Which ones aren’t?
What can we eat to decrease our cholesterol?
What are the top 4 things we can do to reduce the chances of getting Alzeheimer’s disease?
Today’s episode with Dr. Matthew Dawson - the CEO and Co-Founder of Wild Health - is a special one.
In this episode Dr. Dawson and I dive into my bloodwork results, my genetic testing results, and he tells me what to take away from it, and how you can leverage these tests to improve your health as well.
Dr. Matthew Dawson has had an obsession with performance optimization for a long time. This obsession started in high school and college when he was competing in two sports. He then carried this obsession with him through medical school and into his profession as a physician, earning numerous national awards for education, innovation, and leadership on account of his research and approach to health care.
Dr. Dawson crystallized this approach to providing patients with true health care, rather than sick care, by building Wild Health – a Precision Medicine service providing personalized, genetics-based care to help patients achieve optimal wellbeing.
In that, Dr. Dawson has also trained thousands of physicians in Precision Medicine through online education, and has lectured in over twenty countries around the world.

How can you make sure your hormone levels are where they should be?
Today you’re going to learn from the Food Freedom and Fertility expert Lindsey Lusson about what damages female hormone health, how to eat to regain your period, the dangers of undereating, the role fat plays in our hormone health and more!
Lindsey is a Registered Dietitian, momma, Christian wife, and food freedom enthusiast. She didn’t always have such a free and positive relationship with food, but her experiences have allowed her to connect with and support others in a very real way.
Lindsey has studied nutrition and exercise for 15 years and is well aware of what under-eating can do to your health and hormones. For over a decade, she didn’t have a natural period. When she and her husband wanted to begin trying for a baby, she felt lost with no direction on how to get pregnant.
By the grace of God, she found a book about Hypothalamic Amenorrhea (HA). She decided to stop all exercise and eat much more. In less than a month, she got her period back! Three months later, she got pregnant naturally despite being told she would need fertility treatment to start a family.

This week I felt compelled to forego an interview episode and break down the new Netflix Documentary called You Are What You Eat: A Twin Experiment. In this documentary, they took 22 identical twins and had one of the twins eat a plant-based diet and the other an omnivorous diet which is a diet of meat and plants.
The documentary claims its goal is to see which diet is the healthiest when two people who have the same DNA consume it.

- Thermic Effect of Food (TEF)
- TEF accounts for 8-15% of TDEE

My guest on this week's Best You Podcast episode is Lindsey Schwartz. Lindsey Schwartz is an author, investor, master community builder, and the founder of Powerhouse Women. Fiercely committed to supporting other women, Lindsey invests her time in mentoring women and girls of all ages—from high achieving entrepreneurs to high school students.

Welcome back to the Best You Podcast! On today’s episode, I go into detail about one of my favorite parts of the 10 Week Transformation program: How to Create Microhabits. Creating microhabits leads to lasting success, sustainable results, and patience. There’s a gap between things you KNOW you need to do, and then actually doing them. This gap is closed by motivation and having a system of success, which is where microhabits come in.

Welcome back to the Best You Podcast! On today’s episode, I go into why it can be detrimental to be an all or nothing person.
Sure, it can seem like pushing yourself hard or not pushing yourself at all is the best way to see results, but some days, you just need to take it slow, because taking small steps toward your goals, and to your Best You, is better than taking no steps at all.

Welcome back to the Best You Podcast! On today’s episode, I talk about the disadvantages of burning as many calories as possible during your workout.
There is a time and place where it is a good goal to see how high you can keep your heart rate for how long, but if you work out really hard and have your heart rate really high for the whole workout, the overall number of calories you burn during that workout are negligible in the grand scheme of things, and burning calories throughout the day is often a much more efficient way to see results.

My guest this week is Cody Byrns. Cody is an internationally recognized speaker, a number one best-selling author and the founder of The Cody Byrns Foundation for Burn Survivors.
In May 2013, Cody’s life was changed drastically after he was rear-ended by a box-truck whilst stopped at a red light on the highway. He was considered dead until first responders saw his hand move. He received many injuries that day, including severe burns to almost 40% of his body. After years of countless surgeries and rehabilitation, Cody has chosen to not allow his scars to keep him bound in bitterness and defeat. Instead, he uses his story to uplift others.
His vision is to help people live free from the bonds of scars (physical and emotional), equipping others with the proper steps to walk out of their past hurt and defeat and run toward their full potential. As a thought leader, he speaks worldwide to provide relevant, applicable, and thought-provoking messages. Be prepared to be entertained, inspired, motivated, and recharged, both in your work and in your life.

Dave Ruel is a former competitive physique athlete turned serial entrepreneur, best-selling author and international speaker.
After founding and growing multi-million dollar online companies in the field of health, fitness and sports nutrition for nearly a decade, Dave saw the dark side of entrepreneurship gradually rob him of his freedom, leaving him burned out and unfulfilled. Refusing to conform to a broken business culture that promotes workaholism and non-stop hustle, Dave created a sustainable structure and systems for his life and business to reclaim his freedom without sacrificing the growth of his companies.
Following his “efficiency first” philosophy to entrepreneurial productivity and performance, Dave developed a powerful methodology that he sums up in the best-selling book Done By Noon - How To Achieve More By Noon Than Other Entrepreneurs In A Full Day.

Kevin is a 28-year-old Motivational Speaker and personal coach from Los Angeles, California.
When Kevin was 19 years old, he was suddenly diagnosed with a chronic disease of the stomach that caused me to be unable to eat.

Figure Out What Works For You
Former Florida Gator Linebacker, turned Financial Advisor, turned Personal Trainer, and now running his own fitness platform, Todd has quite the story.
Todd was one of the many people who was laid off by the recession. But instead of adopting the victim mentality he immediately starting handing out flyers out in Los Angeles as a Personal Trainer.
Now he helps thousands of people around the country stay fit during their busy lives with his T-Mac 20 workouts. Listen to his story about how he's been able to do this and about his unique meditation process.
Today's interview with Jacob is a transformation story. A transformation of body, mind, and most importantly, a transformation of priorities. Jacob used to weigh over 400lbs and came to the realization that he was killing himself with food. He knew he had to make a change. Making sure he had accountability from friends and peers was a big step and then shifting his priorities towards his health changed everything. He talks about how everyone has 24 hours in the day. It's never that you don't have time to do something, it's that it wasn't as high of a priority for you. It's about figuring out what you want, setting your priorities, and then being diligent to devise a plan to make it happen. Jacob is on the journey to be his most fit self by the age of 40, and that continues to push him day in and day out.
My 3 Takeaways:
1) Commitment is EVERYTHING
2) Show Up AND Show Out
