In this episode, we sit down with Amber Romaniuk for a deep dive into the numerous root causes of emotional eating. She discusses how the food industry has shaped our behaviors by promoting highly processed, dopamine-driven foods that hijack our brain’s reward pathways and keep us stuck in cycles of craving, guilt, and restriction. Amber highlights the role of dopamine in these patterns, showing how food becomes a quick emotional fix and how disrupted hormones, gut health, and blood-sugar balance can intensify cravings. She offers practical steps for healing, including building awareness around emotional vs. physical hunger, stabilizing blood sugar with nourishing foods, supporting digestion and hormones, and cultivating safety and self-trust instead of restriction or shame. Addressing food addiction, she emphasizes compassion, mindset work, and non-food coping tools to break binge-and-restrict loops. She also shares her insights into the use of GLP-1 medications, as well as more information about her Body Freedom Program, which helps women release diet culture, heal their relationship with food, balance hormones and digestion, and create lasting “body safety” through mindset shifts, nutrition, and emotional healing—all aimed at achieving freedom from food obsession and reconnecting with the body’s innate wisdom.
Amber Romaniuk is an Emotional Eating, Digestive and Hormone Expert, with 12 years experience helping high achieving women create a level of body confidence, intuition and optimal health through powerful mindset healing, self-care and overcoming self-sabotage with food.
She does this through addressing the key negative thoughts, patterns and limiting beliefs that keep women stuck in the same behaviors for years and decades, that they haven’t been able to break.Her podcast “The No Sugarcoating Podcast” has 2+ million downloads, over 600 episodes and is listened to in over 90 countries.
Amber overcame her own emotional eating after gaining and losing more than 1000 lbs and spending over $50,000 on binge foods, and spending 5 years balancing her hormones and digestion. She also dismantled her deep limiting beliefs and behaviors keeping her stuck in the same looping patterns.Now she helps others achieve the biggest healing miracles of Body FreedomTM so they have the confidence and health to create amazing lives.

In this illuminating episode, we sit down with Dr. Paul Barrattiero, founder of Echo Water, to explore how hydrogen-rich water can transform the gut and simplify the entire healing process. Our bodies are designed to produce hydrogen naturally, but thanks to stress, toxins, and modern diets, that ability often shuts down. Dr. Paul explains how drinking hydrogen water helps restore this missing function — changing the electrical voltage of the gut and signaling the body to repair itself.
Dr. Paul Barrattiero is a pioneering advocate for molecular hydrogen therapy with over two decades of experience in the health and wellness industry. As the founder of Echo Water, he has also held C-level executive positions at prominent wellness companies. His career is marked by a commitment to advancing the benefits of hydrogen therapy and holistic health solutions.
Paul created the Echo Water Hydrogen System designed to harness the power of hydrogen water to reduce oxidative stress and inflammation—key contributors to many chronic diseases. Echo Water now offers a range of products dedicated to supporting detoxification, cognitive function, immune health, and gut recovery.
In addition to his work with Echo Water, Paul is also the visionary behind LumaNova, a groundbreaking company focused on light therapy for wellness. With a range of products, including the LumaNova Vitamin D Light™, Paul is bringing scientifically backed light therapy into homes and wellness centers. LumaNova's mission is to help individuals improve mood, sleep, and overall well-being by tapping into the regenerative power of light—one of the most effective, natural tools for improving health and vitality.

Join us for this conversation with Matthew Coffman, where we dive into the powerful insights offered by Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) and how it compares to standard serum testing. He explains the critical role minerals play in energy, detoxification, mental health, and chronic illness, touching on topics like electrolyte powders, vegetarian diets, sodium-potassium imbalances, and heavy metal toxicity. The conversation also covers oxidation types, the impact of alcohol and infections like parasites and SIBO on mineral levels, and the importance of tailored supplementation. Matthew also shares his personal healing journey, insights on children’s mineral needs, and thoughts on fulvic/humic acids.
Matthew Coffman is not your conventional health guru or biohacking enthusiast; his path into the world of integrative health was paved by personal adversity. In 2018, his health took a nosedive, catapulting him into a realm where conventional medicine fell short. This crisis became his catalyst, transforming him into a recognized authority in mineral nutritional balancing and an advanced practitioner of Kambo therapy.
Matthew's work extends beyond the individual; he is part-owner of Valence Nutraceuticals, a pioneering supplement brand that marries the visionary insights of Dr. Hans Napier with the foundational work of Dr. Paul Eck. Together, they're not just tweaking, but rather revolutionizing the approach to mineral balancing, offering tailored solutions for optimal health in the modern age.
As the host of the Integrative Thoughts Podcast, he bridges the gap between the esoteric and the empirical, sharing transformative knowledge with a global audience eager for alternatives to the one-size-fits-all medical model. His podcast is not just about healing; it's about empowerment, providing listeners with the tools to navigate their own health journeys.

In this episode we chat with Aleks Rybchinskiy, co-founder of Berski organ meat sticks, about why organ meats are among nature’s most nutrient-dense foods and how they can support overall health. Aleks explains the impressive macronutrient and micronutrient profiles of liver, heart, and other organs—rich in vitamin A, vitamin B12, iron, and choline—nutrients essential for energy, mental clarity, fertility, and immune strength. He shares how Berski incorporates organs, primarily beef liver from regeneratively raised cattle, into convenient, flavorful meat sticks, offering an easy way to get ancestral nutrition without relying solely on supplements. The conversation also unpacks the truth behind food labels like “pasture-raised,” “grass-fed,” and “grass-finished,” exposing industry loopholes and emphasizing the importance of asking farmers the right questions to ensure ethical, regenerative sourcing. Beyond nutrition, Aleks weaves in a holistic perspective on health, encouraging listeners to reconnect with ancestral wisdom, simplify their approach to wellness, and embrace foods and practices that truly nourish body and mind.
Aleks Rybchinskiy is the co-founder of Primal Fusion Health, specializing in wellness education and primal integration to live well. As a Master CHEK Practitioner, Neurosomatic & Holistic Therapist with over 15 years of clinical experience working with celebrities, pro athletes, and all walks of life, Aleks guides clients and students globally to live in harmony with themselves and others - mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually.

In this episode, we explore the powerful practice of cycle syncing--a method of aligning nutrition, fitness, sleep, and daily habits with the four phases of the menstrual cycle (menstrual, follicular, ovulatory, and luteal) to optimize female health and performance. Designed for women seeking better energy, hormonal balance, and productivity, this episode breaks down how to use biofeedback tools like heart rate variability (HRV) and resting heart rate (RHR) to track recovery, predict hormonal shifts, and guide training intensity. Listeners learn how to adapt their nutrition to reduce cravings and support hormonal balance, improve sleep quality by phase, and adjust their workouts to match energy availability--pushing harder in the follicular and ovulatory phases and embracing recovery in the luteal phase. The key message is clear: cycle syncing is not about restriction, but about working with your body, not against it, to unlock greater vitality, clarity, and long-term health.

In our interview with Linda Bamber-Olson, founder of the WAVwatch, we explore the powerful role of sound frequency in health and wellness. Linda shares how her personal journey—growing up with hearing loss and witnessing her family’s cancer battles—inspired her to create a wearable, EMF-free device that delivers targeted frequencies through the skin to support the body’s natural healing processes. The WAVwatch 2.0 is easy to wear and preloaded with frequency programs addressing issues like pain, sleep, stress, detox, circulation, inflammation, Lyme disease, cognitive focus, and more. Unlike other wearables, it avoids Bluetooth or Wi-Fi and relies on safe, non-invasive vibration therapy based on the idea that every organ and cell has a natural frequency that can be rebalanced when disrupted. Linda’s mission combines holistic wellness with practical technology, offering a drug-free, user-friendly tool to restore harmony in the body—making sound therapy accessible for people of all ages and health conditions.
Linda Bamber-Olson developed a passion for sound after being born deaf in one ear. Her love for percussion revealed the healing power of vibrations, inspiring her to explore sound as a wellness tool. This passion, paired with frustration over limited options during her mother and sister’s battles with breast cancer, led her to create BRAS, a business focused on thermography and breast health. Linda’s journey culminated in the creation of the WAVWatch, a wearable device using sound frequencies to promote wellness, now widely praised for providing instant relief. A sought-after speaker, she has appeared on podcasts with experts like Carrie Madej and Dr. Bryan Ardis, sharing insights on sound healing. Linda’s groundbreaking work continues to inspire, and her book detailing her health journey is set for release in early 2025.

In this episode, Ronit Menashe, co-founder of WeNatal, highlights the often-overlooked role of male fertility, noting that men contribute to roughly 50% of infertility cases and that sperm quality is a key indicator of overall health. She explains how fertility declines with age for both men and women, and emphasizes the importance of a 90-day preconception window to optimize egg and sperm health through key nutrients like antioxidants, folate, CoQ10, and omega-3s. Ronit shares her personal journey of miscarriage and how it led her and co-founder Vida to create WeNatal, a supplement line focused on supporting fertility for both partners. The conversation encourages a shift from a "me" to a "we" approach in fertility, empowering couples to take proactive, science-backed steps together.
Ronit Menashe and Vida Delrahim are the co-founders of WeNatal, a groundbreaking prenatal supplement company that is transforming the fertility landscape with expertly formulated supplements designed for both women and men. Best friends and who met working at Nike, Ronit and Vida are not just building a brand; they are rewriting the narrative around fertility, pregnancy, and what it truly means to create life in partnership. Their formulation includes 24 key nutrients that address where traditional supplements fall short, supporting whole-body health for both parents and their future baby. But WeNatal is more than a line of supplements; it’s a movement. Ronit and Vida speak courageously about hope, grief, and reclaiming your power on the path to parenthood. Their story opens hearts and reminds us that no one is alone in their journey.

Welcome to episode 300! In this eye-opening episode, we dive into the latest cutting-edge research shaking up the wellness world. First, we explore how creatine—a supplement long known for its fitness benefits—is showing promise in combating Alzheimer's disease, potentially offering a new line of defense for cognitive decline. We also unpack emerging research linking Parkinson’s disease to pesticides commonly found on golf courses, raising important questions about environmental exposure and neurodegeneration.
The conversation then shifts to our latest biohacking experiments, including the use of Delta Sleep Inducing Peptide (DSIP) to improve deep sleep, the powerful ingredient paraxanthine as a cleaner caffeine alternative, and even the overlooked practice of coffee enemas for detoxification and mental clarity.
The episode wraps with a deep dive into cycle syncing, a popular but often misunderstood strategy for aligning lifestyle choices with the menstrual cycle. We break down the biological reasoning behind syncing your workouts, diet, and supplements with each phase of the cycle. We separate fact from fiction, tackle common myths, and discuss both the pros—like optimized energy and hormonal harmony—and cons, including potential over-complication and the risk of becoming overly rigid.
Whether you're a seasoned biohacker or just curious about the intersection of science and wellness, this episode delivers a potent mix of science-backed insights, personal experimentation, and myth-busting clarity.

In this episode, Dr. Doug Lucas and Sarah Glicken delved into the complexities of bone health, emphasizing its crucial role in longevity. Dr. Doug noted that while osteoporosis is often seen as a condition affecting older adults, its roots can be traced back to earlier life stages, making early intervention vital. They shared the limitations of DEXA scans, particularly their inability to assess bone quality, and why they advocate for the use of REMS technology, which offers a more comprehensive evaluation by assessing bone density and microarchitecture. We also touched upon the potential dangers of conventional bone medications, such as bisphosphonates, which can lead to side effects like jaw necrosis and atypical fractures. They emphasized the importance of exploring alternative therapies that focus on lifestyle modifications that include osteogenic loading and supplementation such as vitamin K2 and vitamin D3 (not calcium!) This episode serves as a comprehensive guide for individuals seeking to understand and improve their bone health through informed choices and proactive measures.
Dr. Doug Lucas is a double board-certified orthopedic surgeon turned osteoporosis specialist on a mission to show the world that osteoporosis is preventable and reversible. As the VP of Women’s Health, Hormone and Lifestyle Optimization at LifeMD and the creator of The OsteoCollective, he empowers individuals to optimize bone health, hormones, and HealthSpan through classic and cutting-edge strategies.
Sarah Glicken is the co-founder of Precision Bone Imaging, a company dedicated to shifting the narrative around aging—starting with skeletal health. Using REMS ultrasound technology, PBI provides radiation-free, highly accurate bone scans that help people take proactive steps toward long-term strength and resilience. Sarah also owns multiple OsteoStrong centers in Los Angeles, where members use science-backed osteogenic loading to strengthen bones, joints, and muscles in just minutes a week. With a Master’s in Spiritual Psychology and certifications in holistic health, she brings a grounded, heart-centered approach to everything she does.

In this empowering episode, we sit down with Ben Azadi to dive into the key concepts behind his new book, Metabolic Freedom. Ben breaks down what it truly means to be metabolically flexible—the ability to efficiently switch between burning fat and glucose for fuel—and how this flexibility is a cornerstone of optimal health. We explore practical tools to assess your metabolic health, including the pros and cons of continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) versus traditional blood tests. Ben also shares actionable steps to enhance your metabolism, from dietary strategies and fasting protocols to detoxifying your environment from hidden toxins that silently disrupt metabolic function. We close the conversation with how your thoughts and beliefs directly impact your biology, and why cultivating a positive, empowered mindset is essential for achieving true metabolic freedom. Whether you're just starting your metabolic health journey or looking to fine-tune your biohacking routine, this episode offers a wealth of insights and inspiration.
Ben Azadi, the founder of Keto Kamp, has over 17 years of experience in the health industry, and he's the author of four best-selling books, including his latest Keto Flex. Ben is the author of the upcoming book Metabolic Freedom, published with Hay House. Ben has been the go-to source for intermittent fasting and the ketogenic diet since 2013.
He is known as 'The Health Detective' because he investigates dysfunction, and he educates, not medicates, to bring the body back to normal function. Ben is the founder of Keto Kamp; a global brand bringing awareness to ancient healing strategies such as the keto diet and fasting.

In this episode, we sit down with Mike and Alyssa, the visionary founders of the Align Mat—a cutting-edge wellness tool that uses Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy to support cellular health and restore balance to the nervous system. They share the inspiration behind the Align Mat and explain how PEMF therapy works to help the body return to its natural state of equilibrium. We dive into the science behind PEMF, exploring how different frequencies can be used to energize cells, reduce inflammation, improve sleep, and enhance overall well-being. Mike and Alyssa also talk about the importance of quality when it comes to PEMF technology—why not all mats are created equal, and what to look for in a truly effective product. Tune in to learn how aligning your body with the right frequencies can support deep healing, resilience, and optimal performance.
Alyssa Blue is a non practicing Aerospace engineer that found the human body more fascinating than rockets. After suffering a health crisis in her early 20's she went on a decade long journey learning how to heal herself. Today as an FDNP, her research background shines, taking a deep dive to investigate her clients bio-individuality and walking with them on a path back to balance.
Mike McPherson has a similar pain to purpose story being born with the gift of medical intuition. Having no resources as a child to understand his extra sensory perceptions, he suppressed his gifts for years. As a young adult, he was diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia and was prescribed medications to cope with severe anxiety and depression. After a happy chance meeting, Mike met a mentor that assisted him on a path of discovery into his gifts. Mike now guides others with subconscious trauma patterns back to wholeness through the use of multiple energetic modalities.
Out of a necessity to help more people than their 1-2-1 practice would allow Mike and Alyssa embarked on a 2.5 year journey of R&D to co-create ALIGN. It is the only Schumann Resonance tuned PEMF mat on the market. It is a meticulously crafted art piece blending ancient wisdom and modern technology to empower more people to tap into their own innate healing potential.

In this episode of the Biohacker Babes, we sit down with Dr. Robert Whitfield, a renowned plastic surgeon with over 25 years of experience, to dive deep into the topic of Breast Implant Illness. Dr. Whitfield breaks down what Breast Implant Illness (BII) is, its symptoms, and who may be at risk. We explore the common myths surrounding the condition, how to recognize the signs & symptoms, and why many patients experience frustration when seeking answers. We also discuss explant surgery--the process of removing implants--and its potential health benefits. Additionally, we unpack the role of mold toxicity, biofilms, and heavy metals, lesser known issues that can affect those with breast implants. Tune in for an informative conversation that sheds light on an important but often misunderstood issue affecting women today.
A plastic surgeon for over 25 years, Dr. Robert Whitfield previously specialized in working with cancer, burn, and critically ill patients, and reconstruction for breast, head, and neck. In 2016, one patient gave him a deeper purpose when she came into his clinic for a consultation regarding her existing breast implants and was battling a number of symptoms including headaches, chronic fatigue, joint and muscle pain, and much more. This led Dr. Whitfield on his path to helping women who suffer from Breast Implant Illness (BII) and to date, he has performed thousands of explant surgeries. Unique to his practice, Dr. Whitfield believes it is important to combine functional medicine as a core part of his work. He developed the SHARP method (Strategic Holistic Accelerated Recovery Program), a series of protocols (testing, GI mapping, supplementation, nutritional counseling, etc.) to help reduce systemic inflammation and assist patients who are both preparing for or recovering from surgical procedures, cosmetic or otherwise.

In this episode, we sit down with Frank Llosa, the founder of Hard Ketones and Ketone Aid, to explore a healthier alternative to alcohol and discuss how it can help you go beyond Dry January this year. Frank shares the science behind his innovative product, which uses a specific type of ketones to create a cleaner, more mindful drinking experience. We dive into how ketones can offer a boost in energy, mental clarity, and better overall health, making it a great choice for those looking to optimize their wellness. Whether you're looking to cut back on alcohol or just curious about biohacking with exogenous ketones, this conversation is packed with valuable insights for anyone looking to make smarter choices about what they drink.
Mr. Frank LLosa, a serial entrepreneur who has an incredible track record of success in a number of fields from real estate, to highly technical photography for National Geographic, to one of the first cloud-based storage systems available to the public. Mr. LLosa was also an elite Division I track athlete who currently incorporates biohacking to stay competitive in all his endeavors, including a vegan ketogenic diet, hitting levels over 8.0mm on diet alone. Frank and his team were warned in advance that multiple huge public companies over the last ten years had tried and failed to deliver the Ketone Ester at an acceptable purity level and price. Within six months Frank’s team contacted hundreds of labs to find the perfect partner. Ultimately having to buy all the necessary equipment three separate times to scale from bench to pilot and ultimately to full scale production.Working together as a team, they succeeded in making small batches of the purest Ketone Ester ever tested.

In this inspiring episode, we sit down with Dean Hall, a two-time cancer survivor and powerful advocate for holistic healing. Dean shares his remarkable journey back to health after facing life-threatening illnesses and explains why he considers himself a "bio-haver" rather than a biohacker. He opens up about the link between environmental toxins and disease, shedding light on the factors that may have contributed to his diagnoses. He also discusses the healing power of nature and cold therapy, two practices that played essential roles in his recovery. From hiking scenic trails to embracing cold water immersion, he reveals how reconnecting with the environment helped him find peace, resilience, and strength. This conversation dives into his unique perspective on health and wellness, offering listeners actionable insights and a reminder of the body's incredible capacity to heal.
Dean is a licensed therapist and success coach with over 30 years of experience, a best-selling author and highly sought-after speaker, a two-time cancer survivor, and a two-time world record-setting extreme distance swimmer. He is the first person in history to swim the entire 187-mile length of Oregon’s longest river, the Willamette River, (which he did as an active cancer patient) in 2014, and Ireland’s longest river, the River Shannon (180 miles), in 2017.
Dean’s unexpected radical remission from his cancers as a result of his immersive adventures in nature inspired him to create his organization, The Wild Cure Way. His mission is to encourage everyone to get out of concrete jungles, manmade boxes and away from digital devices and explore and embrace wild waters, deep forests and open oceans as the most powerful and means of authentic, deep healing for mind, body and spirit.

Join us for this episode with Dr. Casey Kelley, a renowned expert in integrative medicine, to dive into the complexities of Lyme disease. She debunks some of the biggest myths surrounding Lyme, explaining why it's often under-diagnosed and misunderstood. She sheds light on what we should know about testing--highlighting both the limitations and advancements in current diagnostics. Dr. Kelley also shares her integrative approach to treatment, which goes beyond antibiotics to include lifestyle changes, nutrition, and immune system support. This conversation is essential for anyone looking to gain a deeper understanding of Lyme disease and the holistic options available for managing it.
Since the beginning of her medical career, Dr. Casey Kelley, M.D. continually asked questions about health, longevity, and healing that conventional medicine didn’t answer. Seeking those answers, she began studying Functional Medicine to complement her traditional medical studies. Utilizing this multidisciplinary approach, Dr. Kelley has been at the forefront of Integrative Medicine, devoting her career to treating patients in a highly personalized manner that focuses as much on overall health and wellness as it does on specific issues and diagnoses.
Board Certified in Family Medicine, Dr. Kelley was among the first physicians to add a board certification in Integrative Medicine as well. She has studied the causes, effects, and treatments of Lyme Disease extensively, and lectures nationally on this and other topics.
Dr. Kelley graduated from The Ohio State University College of Medicine and completed her residency in Family Medicine at St. Joseph Hospital in Chicago. She has been a member of the Institute of Functional Medicine (IFM) for over ten-years and a former Treasurer of The International Lyme and Associated Disease Society (ILADS).

In this episode, we dive into the critical role minerals play in overall health with Barton Scott, founder and CEO of Upgraded Formulas. Barton shares why many of us are mineral deficient, even with a healthy diet, and how these deficiencies can impact everything from energy levels to cognitive function. He explains the importance of choosing high-quality mineral supplements and introduces the concept of Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA), a tool that provides a personalized approach to understanding individual deficiencies. This episode is packed with insights on optimizing your health through better mineral intake and understanding your body's unique needs.
Barton Scott is a Biochemist, Inventor, Behavioral Nutritionist, has spoken around the world and is the Founder and CEO of Upgradedformulas.com which helps people around the world heal, find more energy, sleep better, lose weight, get off of medications and reverse age.
In 2015 Barton developed a unique industrial process using his background in Chemical Engineering to produce a new category of minerals, called Stabilized Nano Minerals using a Nano Particle Technology that absorbs very easily without the need for normal digestion, and at-home hair analysis testing to know which supplements you need to restore the most fundamental nutrient deficiencies in the body, quickly and easily.
Upgraded Formulas has an incredibly innovative line of products now backed by a DOUBLE BLINDED CLINICAL TRIAL, showing the most impressive sleep improvements (among many other improvements!) such as deep sleep and REM sleep improvements both over 150% in only 14 nights, from a supplement that we’ve ever heard of, and among other solutions such as at-home hair analysis kits for identifying and restoring nutrient deficiency.

In this episode, we speak with Dr. Christy Sutton, author of The Iron Curse, to debunk myths and misconceptions about iron. Dr. Sutton dives into the complex relationship between iron and health, discussing the potential dangers of both low and high iron levels and how they can impact overall well-being. We explore the root causes behind iron imbalances, including genetic factors, diet, and lifestyle, and discuss practical solutions to address these issues. She also provides valuable insights on what to request during lab testing, offering listeners a guide to better advocate for their health.
Dr. Christy Sutton is a chiropractor who is interested in asking why health problems happen and finding the safest, best solutions to common problems. Getting to the root of the problem is the foundation of her writing, teaching, and clinical practice. Her focus is on finding the cause of and avoiding health landmines early.
Her most recent book, The Iron Curse, is the product of discovering that her husband had hereditary hemochromatosis, and a pituitary tumor that may have been causes by having undiagnosed high iron damaging the body. After this experience she began to look closer at the hemochromatosis genes with iron labs in patients. She discovered that there is a silent epidemic of undiagnosed hemochromatosis, high iron, and that hemochromatosis patients are misunderstood, mistreated, misdiagnosed, and dismissed.

In this powerful episode, we interviewed Dr. Nasha Winters, a global healthcare authority and best-selling author specializing in integrative cancer care and research. She breaks down the concept of a metabolic approach to cancer, explaining how this perspective views cancer not just as a genetic disease but as a metabolic dysfunction. She emphasizes that there is no one-size-fits-all cancer plan, highlighting the necessity of personalized treatment strategies tailored to individual needs. We also discuss the critical role of genetic testing, the profound mental-emotional connection to cancer, the "trifecta" of biomarkers to monitor closely, as well as practical advice and hope for those navigating the complexities of cancer care.
Dr. Nasha Winters is a global healthcare authority and best-selling author in integrative cancer care and research consulting with physicians around the world. She has educated hundreds of professionals in the clinical use of mistletoe and has created robust educational programs for both healthcare institutions and the public on incorporating vetted integrative therapies in cancer care to enhance outcomes. Dr. Winters is currently focused on opening a comprehensive metabolic oncology hospital and research institute in the US where the best that standard of care has to offer and the most advanced integrative therapies will be offered. This facility will be in a residential setting on a gorgeous campus against a backdrop of regenerative farming, EMF mitigation and retreat, as well as state of the art medical technology and data collection and evaluation to improve patient outcomes.

In this episode, we jump into the world of alcohol alternatives with Justin Wolf, the founder of New Brew. He shared his personal journey away from alcohol and how it inspired him to enter the growing market of functional beverages. New Brew specializes in offering an alternative to traditional alcoholic drinks, catering to individuals seeking healthier choices or those who want to explore different experiences. We explored the diverse landscape of functional beverages and discussed the unique properties of ingredients like kratom and kava, which are gaining popularity. Justin highlighted the benefits of choosing alcohol alternatives, including improved mental clarity and enhanced relaxation. He also addressed misconceptions surrounding kratom and kava, shedding light on their cultural significant and potential health benefits when consumed responsibly.
Justin Wolf started New Brew after being frustrated by all the non-alc and "functional beverage" options that didn't live up to their claims. While traveling in Mexico, he experienced the transformative benefits of Kava Root and Kratom Leaf, and set out with his two brothers to create a ready to drink beverage for California Sober and health conscious individuals like him. Before starting New Brew, Justin spent five years leading Global Partnerships at Google and launched Drip Drop, an electrolyte powder hydration supplement that is now sold at pharmacies across the US. Throughout his career, Justin has been an early investor and advisor in the psychedelic medicine space. Now, along with his two brothers, Justin is on a mission to give consumers better alternatives to alcohol, and educate people about the transformative benefits of plants.

We had the privilege of sitting down with Dr. Glenn Livingston, a veteran psychologist with decades of research dedicated to understanding the complexities of binging and overeating. He brings a unique perspective to the table, drawing from his personal journey of breaking free from obesity and developing a healthy, lighthearted relationship with food. We get into the prevalent issue of stress eating and why it has become a common coping mechanism in our society. He also shares insights on how to identify if you have a problem with overeating and offers practical advice on navigating the challenges of curbing unhealthy eating habits.
Dr. Glenn Livingston is a veteran psychologist and longtime CEO of a multi-million dollar consulting firm that has serviced several Fortune 500 clients in the food industry. His work, theories, and research have been published in major publications including The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times and The Chicago Sun Times. Disillusioned by what traditional psychology had to offer overweight and/or food-obsessed individuals, Dr. Livingston spent several decades researching the nature of binging and overeating via work with his own patients AND a self-funded research program with more than 40,000 participants. Most importantly, however, was his own personal journey out of obesity and food prison to a normal, healthy weight and a much more lighthearted relationship with food.

In this insightful episode, we sat down with Chase Hudson, the founder of HempLucid, to dive deep into the world of cannabis and hemp products. Our conversation covered a wide range of topics, from Cannabis 101 to the fascinating intricacies of the endocannabinoid system, full-spectrum vs. broad-spectrum products, the critical importance of sourcing and quality, and even the emerging synergy between cannabis and functional mushrooms.
Chase Hudson is a founder of Hemplucid. He is dedicated to building a community of people looking for holistic solutions for a healthier lifestyle. He has a vision to help people elevate their health’. His mission to provide transparent and trusted products has led to his company being recognized by organizations such as Forbes, The Wall Street Journal, Bloomberg, and more.
He lives everyday intuitively and adventurously, and aims to help others do the same. Chase Hudson started his career in the Fire Service. After 8 years in public service he decided to set out as an entrepreneur in 2015. Chase experienced the healing power of CBD and other plant medicines that inspired him to start HempLucid, a USDA Organic certified hemp-derived CBD company. Based in Provo, Utah, HempLucid has grown to become an industry-leading national wellness brand that has inspired thousands to take their health into their own hands.
Chase and HempLucid invested in a passion project, the film Lamar Odom Reborn. During filming, Chase was introduced to etamine treatments as a modality for treating mental health, addiction, and other issues. Ketamine was so instrumental to Chase in his own healing journey that he wanted to make it available to the people at his company. With his Leadership team at HempLucid, Chase created a Corporate Mental Health Program that provides quarterly ketamine treatments in a clinical setting for interested HempLucid employees. Anecdotal (non-clinical) surveys indicate that these treatments have increased productivity and employees’ perceived well-being.

We were so honored when Josh Burchick invited us to speak on his podcast, "Forged and Unbroken." We have been blown away by his work and his mission to help firefighters get and stay healthy. Since we feel like this information needs to be shared to more First Responders around the country, we decided to also share the episode here on the Biohacker Babes podcast. In this episode, we discuss the importance of sleep optimization & circadian rhythm, why you should always run basic lab tests, nutrition & fasting, hot & cold therapy, hormetic stressors, top supplements, and more!
Josh Burchick has been a firefighter since 2003, he currently serves as a Captain for a professional Department in central Maryland and is a Fireground Survival Instructor. He's been a certified Strength & Conditioning Coach since 2011, with his passion being CrossFit and mobility and movement patterns for injury prevention and rehabilitation. He holds a Bachelor's Degree in Public Safety Leadership from Johns Hopkins University. If he's not outdoors or hiking, you can find him in Frederick, MD with his wife and two daughters.
Forged & Unbroken is an online community for firefighters, but also for anyone looking for self-improvement. There is a daily workout with an option for at-home, a weekly growth mindset podcast, a weekly mobility video, a weekly research topic from other industries covering health, wellness, leadership and more. There is also the public podcast covering the same aforementioned topics, as well as fire service stories of struggle and resiliency. The goal is to crest a more well-rounded, resilient human. Each quarter, 1/3 of all proceeds from the venture is donated to public safety charities and causes.

We are thrilled to have Scott Kennedy back on the podcast for a deeper dive into the incredible health benefits of red light therapy. We catch up on the latest scientific research, benefits of pulsing and higher frequencies, his thoughts on red light beds and hormesis, and more! Also, make sure you check out our previous episode with Scott in 2020 for an intro to red light therapy.
Scott Kennedy is a certified laser/light specialist and health coach. In 2018, he started the first light therapy wellness center in New Jersey where he meet with clients from all walks of life, all ages, and with the gambit of issues.
He started his journey 10 years ago when he suffered from peripheral neuropathy. He saw countless doctors and tried countless remedies with only limited relief. He went from running ultra-marathons and boxing to being sedentary.
Within 4 months, his symptoms decreased over 80%. The improvements he felt from light therapy were life-altering. He's now back to running and boxing and living life. His goal is to now help others get back to doing what they enjoy in life, without pain or pills.
With a focus on safety and quality, he began LightpathLED to create the best home use panels on the market. They now have panels that surpass the competition at a lower price point as well as panels with multiple wavelengths and pulsing, which no other company is doing. His commitment is always to the pursuit of optimal health and well-being of his clients and their families.

We are thrilled to bring you this conversation with Dr. Gene Sambataro (our Dad & OG biohacker!) where we take a deeper look into biological dentistry and dental sleep medicine. This is his third time on the podcast so make sure you go back and check out the previous episodes - #10 "The Root of It All" and #136 "Sleep Apnea, Nutrition for Oral Health & Biohacking for Families". In today's episode we discuss how we can address sleep issues, the benefits of running a home sleep study, alternatives to CPAPs for sleep apnea, the dangers of root canals and mouthtaping, the health benefits of breastfeeding and more!
Dr. Gene Sambataro has been practicing dentistry for over 40 years with special interests in orthodontics, dental orthopedics, temporomandibular joint disorder, sleep disordered breathing and implantology. He graduated from the University of Maryland School of Dentistry in 1980 and soon after started incorporating a more holistic approach to his practice.
Dr. Sambataro strives to educate his patients on how they can make healthier decisions in their lives, as well as sharing his knowledge around toxic-free dentistry, which avoids mercury amalgam fillings, fluoride, and toxic root canals. Nearly 80% of all illnesses can be connected to infections, toxicities, and imbalances in the mouth, which is one of the reasons he is so passionate about practicing Biological (or Holistic) Dentistry.
A few of his affiliations include the Academy of General Dentistry, the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine, the International Academy of Biological Dentistry and Medicine, the Holistic Dental Association, and the International Dental Implant Association. He is also a Board Member for the Maryland Society of Integrative Medicine and the author of “Stop the Snore, Dental Solutions to Healthy Sleep.” He is currently enrolled in the PhD program in Quantum Morphogenetic Physic and Science through the Bioregenesis Academy and just released his newest book, “Your Guide to Holistic Dental Implants: The Permanent Solution for Missing or Lost Teeth.”

Welcome back for our 4th roundtable episode with Dr. Jay Wiles and Mollie Eastman! In this episode, we discuss everything related to data... our personal approaches, our top biohacks, advice for clients, data sovereignty, and more.
Dr. Jay T. Wiles is a clinical health psychologist, currently working as the Health Behavior Coordinator at WJB Dorn VA Medical Center in Columbia, SC and the Greenville Outpatient VA Clinic. He has specialized training in health behavior coaching, health assessment, nutritional interventions for mental and physical health, Motivational Interviewing, applied psychophysiology, and consultation. Dr. Wiles works as a consultant for companies/organizations, practitioners, and individual patients on nutritional psychology, health behavior change, applied psychophysiology, and health promotion/disease prevention via complementary and integrative practices. He is also Board Certified in Tai Chi for Rehabilitation.
Mollie Eastman (McGlocklin) is the creator of Sleep Is A Skill, and the host of The Sleep Is A Skill Podcast. Sleep Is A Skill is a company that optimizes people’s sleep through a unique blend of technology, accountability, and behavioral change. After navigating insomnia while traveling internationally, she created what she couldn’t find - a place to go to learn the skill set of sleep. With a background in behavioral change from The Nonverbal Group, she became fascinated with chronobiology and its practical application to sleep and our overall experience of life. Knowing the difference between a life with sleep and without, she’s now dedicated her life to sharing the forgotten skill set of sleep. In the spirit of that goal, she has created the #2 sleep podcast, written a popular weekly sleep newsletter for over four years, partnered with luxury hotels & lifestyle brands, and has appeared on over 150 podcasts.

Today we are talking about extending our healthspan & longevity with Alan Graves, the CEO of Do Not Age! He shares his thoughts on the Longevity Escape Velocity theory, which is the idea that one's remaining life expectancy will be extended longer than the time that is passing. Some experts claim we will be there by 2036, although Alan disagrees! We dive into some of the top anti-aging nutrients on the market such as NMN, Resveratrol, Apigenin, and SIRT-6, as well as the important lifestyle factors that will support a long healthy life.
Alan Graves is the CEO of DoNotAge.org, a global health research organization and the largest NMN supplier in the world.

In this episode, Dr. Suzanne Fenske shares her integrative approach for treating numerous women's health conditions including hormonal imbalances, endometriosis and PCOS.

Today, Dr. Fenske uses her unique combination of advanced training to provide unmatched care in hormone therapy for perimenopause and menopause, SoLā for pelvic pain, and functional medicine for a range of gynecological conditions.

We are thrilled to have our good friend and Mental & Metabolic Health Scientist, Brendan Vermeire, back on the podcast this week!

In today's episode we discuss what it really means to be mentally healthy, the importance of nutrition for mental health, whether genetic testing is really worth it, the Mental M.A.P. test, and more!
Brendan Vermeire is a Mental and Metabolic Health Scientist & Researcher, Functional Medicine Educator, Writer, and Speaker. He is a Board-Certified Holistic Health Practitioner, Master Nutrition Coach, Master Personal Trainer, USAW Sports Performance Coach, and Crossfit Trainer.

Nathalie Niddam joins our podcast this week for a deep dive on the hot topic of peptides and bioregulators. She breaks down the difference between peptides & bioregulators, the importance of quality sourcing, top peptides for longevity, skincare & pain, plus her thoughts on biohacking and the future of peptides.
Nathalie Niddam is a Holistic Nutritionist, a Human Potential Coach and Epigenetic Coach who is immersed in the world of health optimization and longevity. A few years ago she stumbled upon peptides and bioregulator peptides at a health optimization conference and has been immersed in the study and application of these as health optimization and longevity tools ever since.
Nathalie runs a large and growing Biohacking Community on Facebook (the Optimizing Superhuman Performance Group), is the host of the Biohacking Superhuman Performance Podcast, and she speaks at health conferences on longevity and…what else Bioregulator Peptides.
As of today Nathalie’s Biological Age is a full 14 years younger than her Chronological age with Telomeres matching someone 22 years younger…her goal is to keep that clock moving back and to make sure that people learn that this is possible for them if they are willing to take charge of their health!

We are thrilled to have Dr. Molly Maloof back on the podcast to share how we can all get our spark back! We dive into the biggest drivers of disease, the role of mitochondrial dysfunction, her personal approach to biohacking, how we can boost our energy levels, as well as the importance of love and social connection for overall health.
As a physician and Stanford lecturer, Dr. Molly Maloof has spent her career providing personalized medicine services to high-performing technology executives, billionaire investors, Silicon Valley entrepreneurs, and Academy Award winning actors. What she noticed is that women, specifically, were feeling the spark that once energized their lives beginning to dim. Not just metaphorically but in a measurable reduction in the energy output from their cells. In response, Dr. Molly developed a science-backed program focused on mitochondrial health, used successfully by her patients, which offered lifestyle changes that target the unique biology of women and provide immediate and long-term benefits--now available in her book The Spark Factor. “The idea is steady gradual improvement, not perfection. The goal is to help get your spark back, so you can spend the rest of your life empowered, alive, mobile, and resilient,” she writes.

On this week's episode we are joined by Dr. Barrie Tan, the world's foremost expert on vitamin E. He breaks down the major difference between tocopherols and tocotrienols, why your vitamin E supplement may actually be causing harm, and how his amazing discovery of the annatto plant can be used to treat non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and other chronic health conditions.
Dr. Barrie Tan is hailed as a trailblazer and the world’s foremost expert on vitamin E. A scientist first and foremost, Dr. Tan earned his Ph.D. in Chemistry/Biochemistry from the University of Otago, New Zealand and spent several years as a professor at UMass. His research expertise includes lipid-soluble nutrients (carotenoids, E vitamers, CoQ10, and omega-3s) that impact chronic conditions. He was the first to introduce tocotrienols benefits to the nutrition industry and developed the first-ever tocopherol-free tocotrienol product derived from annatto. Dr. Tan continues to collaborate with numerous universities worldwide to further tocotrienol research. Beyond tocotrienol, Dr. Tan’s research now spans into geranylgeraniol, a critical endogenous nutrient for healthy aging.
Dr. Tan is currently the President of American River Nutrition, a natural health R&D company he started with his wife, Elizabeth, in 1998. Described as a scientific pioneer, his mission is simple, improve the everyday health of people’s lives.

Join us for a conversation with Dr. David Prologo, a dual board-certified interventional radiologist and obesity medicine specialist. He shares the science behind why we tend to fail at diets and the importance of finding your "catching point" to achieve successful weight loss. His new book, The Catching Point Transformation: A 12-Week Weight Loss Strategy Based in Reality, comes from more than 2 decades of work in obesity medicine. Plus, his analogies make a complex health topic fun and easy to understand!
Dr. David Prologo is a dual board-certified interventional radiologist and obesity medicine specialist. He has spent more than 20 years specifically analyzing the phenomenon of diet attrition - why do diets always fail? More importantly, when they do fail, why do we blame the patients for that failure? That journey led Dr. Prologo to perform first in human advanced interventional procedures to manage obesity, diabetes, and other medical conditions. It further led to the identification of the catching point - a clear pivot point beyond which calorie restriction and exercise are easier for patients. He has been recognized nationally and internationally for his work, including features on The Today Show, in the Washington Post, on Capitol Hill, in numerous peer-reviewed journal publications, countless web-based invited expert articles, and much more.

Women are not prepared for menopause (and their doctors aren't helping) and Esther Blum is here to change that! Despite the fact that menopause happens to every woman, many find they are not prepared for it. Esther says that they often don't have the tools, testing, or any sense of how to advocate for themselves and their body. If your doctor has written off your symptoms as "normal" without any solutions, you'll definitely want to listen to this episode! She shares why there is a lack of treatment for women's health, common vs normal symptoms of peri-menopause & menopause, how to know if Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy (BHRT) is for you, and her top nutrition tips for hormonal balance.
Esther Blum is the bestselling author of Cavewomen Don’t Get Fat; Eat, Drink and Be Gorgeous; Secrets of Gorgeous, and The Eat, Drink, and Be Gorgeous Project. She was voted Best Nutritionist by Manhattan Magazine. She has appeared on Dr. Oz, TODAY, A Healthy You with Carol Alt, The ISAAC Show, ABC-TV, FOX- 5’s Good Day NY, Fox News Live, and more.

We are back with another roundtable episode with our friends and fellow biohackers, Dr. Jay Wiles and Mollie Eastman! We discuss the consistency and accuracy of sleep trackers, and what WE do with our data each day. We also dive into a discussion on sleep & travel biohacks, designing the perfect "circadian-crafted day", as well as how to navigate sleep anxiety and other sleep disruptors.
Let's meet our guests!
Dr. Jay Wiles is an international speaker, scientist, clinician, influencer, and subject-matter expert and authority on the interconnection between the human stress response and health performance/optimization. Dr. Wiles is a clinical health and performance psychologist with board certification in heart rate variability biofeedback and peripheral biofeedback and works as a leading consultant in psychophysiology to health influencers, professional athletes and teams, executives, and high performers. He is the co-founder and Chief Scientific Officer of Hanu Health. He has pioneered new and innovative means of using heart rate variability (HRV) and respiratory training as both diagnostic indicators of the dynamic nature of the human stress response, alongside therapeutic tools for regulating and conditioning this response for peak human performance. Dr. Wiles has an extensive history of working with top-performing athletes in the PGA, LPGA, MLS, MLB, ATP, and WTA. His consulting firm, Thrive Wellness and Performance, has held contracts with leading biotechnology and health technology organizations where he has engaged in research, development of therapeutics, and development of behavioral retention programs.

Dr. Chris Damman shares valuable insight into the link between gut health and metabolic health on this week's episode. He breaks down the important role of prebiotics, probiotics AND postbiotics, as well as the benefits of resistant starch in our diet. He understands how difficult it can be for most people to get enough fiber in their diet, but he has created a solution to help us with that! Tune in to hear about incredible scientific research on fiber, gut health, insulin resistance and more.
Dr. Chris Damman is a Gastroenterologist and Chief Medical & Scientific Officer of SuperGut. He has a passion for evidence-based approaches to food & gut microbe interventions in the promotion of health and the treatment of disease. He spent five years leading the gut health, microbiome and functional food initiative at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, where his research interests focused on the role of diet and microbiome-targeted therapies in treating gastrointestinal, metabolic, and neurologic disease. Most recently, Dr. Chris helped execute a randomized, blind placebo controlled study validating the use of resistant starch to transform the gut microbiome - the first of its kind from a functional food company.

Dr. Chris Damman shares valuable insight into the link between gut health and metabolic health on this week's episode. He breaks down the important role of prebiotics, probiotics AND postbiotics, as well as the benefits of resistant starch in our diet. He understands how difficult it can be for most people to get enough fiber in their diet, but he has created a solution to help us with that! Tune in to hear about incredible scientific research on fiber, gut health, insulin resistance and more.
Dr. Chris Damman is a Gastroenterologist and Chief Medical & Scientific Officer of SuperGut. He has a passion for evidence-based approaches to food & gut microbe interventions in the promotion of health and the treatment of disease. He spent five years leading the gut health, microbiome and functional food initiative at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, where his research interests focused on the role of diet and microbiome-targeted therapies in treating gastrointestinal, metabolic, and neurologic disease. Most recently, Dr. Chris helped execute a randomized, blind placebo controlled study validating the use of resistant starch to transform the gut microbiome - the first of its kind from a functional food company.

Thought leader and transformative psychiatrist Dr. Fred Moss joins the podcast for an inspiring conversation around what it means to be human and how to live an extraordinary life. He shares what is blocking many of us from our "true voice" and what is holding us back from being our authentic selves in life. Dr. Fred also provides insight into how conventional medicine may be perpetuating the problem and his perspective of how plant medicines may play a role in empowering people.
Dr. Fred Moss is a graduate of Northwestern University Medical School and a licensed psychiatrist who has served the mental health industry for nearly four decades. During that time he has consulted patients, practitioners, medical facilities, non-profit organizations, and community groups.
In 2006, Dr. Fred began taking a new approach with his patients, working with a chosen few to assist in reclaiming their lives from the clenched fists of psychiatric diagnoses and medication. Lo and behold, they reliably eventually improved, even to the point of their diagnoses actually disappearing.
Dr. Fred has since dedicated his efforts to establishing his brand, Welcome To Humanity, as a "home base" for his work as a speaker, coach, and advisor as a "non-diagnosing psychiatrist." He also is an expert witness, specializing in psychiatric malpractice cases, and often centering around atrocities that can occur behind closed (locked) doors in nursing homes, hospitals, prisons and jails.
Dr. Fred is the host of the inspiring Welcome To Humanity podcast, a show that explores what it means to be human and how to live an extraordinary life. He is the author of Creative 8: Healing Through Creativity & Self-Expression.
Dr. Fred is married to his dream partner, Alexandra, and lives in the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas in Northern California. He is the proud father of two beautiful children in Texas and is owned collectively by his 3 cats, Valentino, Despacito, and Winston.

Danielle Hamilton joins us for a discussion about the power behind controlling blood sugar and optimizing digestion for achieving optimal health and endless energy all day. She explains how insulin resistance impacts different parts of our bodies, including how PCOS should be considered diabetes of the ovaries. She also shares her top tips for fixing digestive issues and simple steps you can start doing today.
Danielle Hamilton is a Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner & Restorative Wellness Practitioner who specializes in blood sugar regulation & digestion. She became interested in blood sugar issues when she learned that Insulin Resistance was at the root of her PCOS. She was able to reverse her PCOS, cystic acne, PMS & weight loss resistance by reversing Insulin Resistance. Her mission is to help others uncover their blood sugar & insulin issues (as most people don't know the early signs), as well as help them optimize digestion for low-carb diets. Dani promotes a holistic approach to reversing Insulin Resistance which goes beyond just changing macros. She is the host of the Unlock the Sugar Shackles Podcast and the creator of the Blood Sugar Mastery Program.

Dustin Baker, the President of BioProtein Technology and creator of BioPro+ joined the podcast for a fascinating conversation on the topic of Human Growth Hormone. This has been a misunderstood hormone for a long time and has had a bad reputation for athletes abusing it for performance enhancement. However, there's more to HGH than meets the eye, with it's incredible ability to rejuvenate the body and support overall health and longevity. His company was the first to develop a modern non-synthetic alternative and he explains why it is better than synthetic HGH in most applications. If you're curious about this powerful hormone, you have to tune in!

What happens when you put four biohackers on a podcast together? A really fun discussion, multiple perspectives on different health topics, and the best effective biohacks available today. Our discussion includes what we all eat for breakfast, fasting and circadian rhythm, the hot topic of mouth taping, and more! We had a blast chatting with our friends and fellow biohackers, Dr. Jay Wiles and Mollie McGlocklin, who have also been on our podcast before where we discussed Heart Rate Variability and sleep optimization in depth. If you're not familiar with these amazing experts, check out their bios below.
Dr. Jay Wiles is an international speaker, scientist, clinician, influencer, and subject-matter expert and authority on the interconnection between the human stress response and health performance/optimization. Dr. Wiles is a clinical health and performance psychologist with board certification in heart rate variability biofeedback and peripheral biofeedback and works as a leading consultant in psychophysiology to health influencers, professional athletes and teams, executives, and high performers. He is the co-founder and Chief Scientific Officer of Hanu Health. He has pioneered new and innovative means of using heart rate variability (HRV) and respiratory training as both diagnostic indicators of the dynamic nature of the human stress response, alongside therapeutic tools for regulating and conditioning this response for peak human performance. Dr. Wiles has an extensive history of working with top-performing athletes in the PGA, LPGA, MLS, MLB, ATP, and WTA. His consulting firm, Thrive Wellness and Performance, has held contracts with leading biotechnology and health technology organizations where he has engaged in research, development of therapeutics, and development of behavioral retention programs. Dr. Wiles has operated as the cohost of the Ben Greenfield Podcast since 2019 and hosts the Hanu Health Podcast.
Mollie McGlocklin is the creator of Sleep Is A Skill, and the host of The Sleep Is A Skill Podcast. Sleep Is A Skill is a company that optimizes people’s sleep through a unique blend of technology, accountability, and behavioral change. After navigating insomnia while traveling internationally, she created what she couldn’t find - a place to go to learn the skill set of sleep. With a background in behavioral change from The Nonverbal Group, she became fascinated with chronobiology and its practical application to sleep and our overall experience of life. Knowing the difference between a life with sleep and without, she’s now dedicated her life to sharing the forgotten skill set of sleep.

Our good friend and fellow biohacker, Dasha Maximov, is back on the podcast to share her latest insights on supporting women on their health journey. She shares the differences she sees in male and female clients, why feeling safe is a foundational part of health, and how stress is significantly impacting women today. She has been hosting biohacking retreats dedicated to women in the Dominican Republic and will be hosting one with Lauren in October.
Also, make sure you check out episodes 45 & 46 for the 2-part interview we did with her in 2020 all about women's health research, fasting for women, using health tech and more about her personal health journey.
Dasha worked 9 years in the cut-throat business of mergers and acquisitions, suffered and healed herself from 6 concussions and hormonal imbalance, cofounded Europe’s largest health conference, and moved to a new country during this pandemic. She is the definition of resilience! After witnessing the impact of her brain injury on her physical and emotional body—she became fascinated with the power of electromagnetism, light, sound, and vibration as healers. She uses these in her work to help her clients get back to a feeling of safety so that the rest of their health regimen (good food, exercise and supplements) can work better.
She is based out of the Dominican Republic where she runs biohacking retreats dedicated to women. Each retreat is co-hosted with another specialist and involves 5 days of learning, practice, trying new biohacking technology and tools, and unwinding from the stress-filled sympathetic lifestyle that we all lead. Her goal is to grow your toolkit so you have the ability to cope with that stress when you come back home. The next retreat will be October 26-30, 2022 and will be cohosted with Lauren Sambataro. Come join us! Learn more about the retreats, the online women's biohacking community, and the upcoming women's biohacking course at www.whealth.community. You can reach out to Dasha for one-on-one consults or inquiries at dasha@whealth.community.

We dive into the fascinating topics of longevity, healthspan and biological age this week with Dr. Morgan Levine. She explains the differences between healthspan & lifespan, as well as biological age & chronological age. She also shares the best testing options currently available to assess our biological age, along with what the research is showing makes the greatest impact such as fasting, caloric restriction, stress reduction and sleep.
Morgan Levine is an assistant professor of pathology at Yale University School of Medicine. Her research focuses on the science of biological aging, specifically using bioinformatics to quantify the aging process and test how lifestyle and pharmaceutical interventions alter the rate of aging. As a leading voice in the field of aging and longevity science, she has been featured in media outlets such as CNN, The Guardian, Time, Newsweek, The Huffington Post, the BBC, and many more. She also appeared in the DocuSeries by Netflix and Goop, alongside Gwyneth Paltrow, which was released in early 2020. She is the author of True Age: Cutting-Edge Research to Help Turn Back the Clock.

Talia Ram joins the podcast to talk about one of the most overlooked biohacks for health optimization... lighting! With a wide variety of types of light exposure ranging from natural sunlight outdoors to artificial indoor lighting, she breaks down how it all impacts our health and what we can do about it.
Beautiful lighting has been a lifelong affair for Talia, who, as the daughter of Lumiram founders Corinne and Jacques Ram, grew up immersed in lighting. So it seemed a natural progression that four years ago, Talia joined the ranks as resident wellness lighting expert for the company, drawing on her intimate knowledge of the product and her 10 years of experience as a meditation and yoga teacher. Talia Ram is the resident wellness lighting expert of Lumiram. Lumiram is the original maker of neodymium glass light sources and has been a leader in full spectrum lighting since first opening its doors in Europe in 1959. Lumiram has been invested in filling homes and businesses with beautiful oases of pure uplifting light through their signature line of Chromalux® full spectrum neodymium glass bulbs. The original light bulb for health and well-being, the Chromalux® full spectrum lamp has been enhancing people's lives and the spaces they live in since it was first created in Finland over 40 years ago. A unique light source, Chromalux® bulbs filter out yellow and other dulling frequencies of the light spectrum, resulting in a purified light with enhanced violet, blue, green, and red tones. Chromalux® enhances colors, lessens eye strain, boosts vibrancy, and provides a striking pure white light. With Lumiram's exceptional product diversity and dedicated service to countless interiors nationwide — life is now as beautiful inside as it is on the outside.

Michael Brandt, co-founder of H.V.M.N., joins the podcast for a comprehensive discussion on ketones and metabolic health. He breaks down what exogenous ketones are, whether we should take ketones while fasting, how they impact sleep & recovery, and shares information on the link between diabetes, Alzheimer's disease, epilepsy & the ketogenic diet.
Everything Michael Brandt does is fast and intense. Aside from cruising through marathons at a cool 6-minute mile pace, he and fellow Stanford alumni co-founder, Geoffrey Woo, have scaled H.V.M.N. in a few short years. Most recently, they introduced the second iteration of their flagship ketone drink, Ketone-IQTM. H.V.M.N. invented Ketone-IQTM because they believe people should spend more time with elevated ketone levels for better health and performance. Through Michael’s steadfast leadership, H.V.M.N not only launched the world’s first drinkable ketone, but is tracking to redefine the limits of human performance, metabolism, and longevity to combat the global metabolic health crisis.
Alongside his co-founder, the duo secured a $6 million dollar contract from the U.S. Special Operations Command to continue research into the benefits of ketones. The pair gained early interest from pro-athletes including Former Olymian Speed Skater Apolo Ohno, Professional Racing cyclist Vittoria Bussi and Ultrarunner Jeff Browning and notable early investors such as Andreessen Horowitz, and Joe Montana (Hall of Fame NFL Quarterback).
As a father of a newborn, Michael has increasingly limited free time but remains an avid triathlete and marathoner with a 2:42 personal record.

Aside from cruising through marathons at a cool 6-minute mile pace, he and fellow Stanford alumni co-founder, Geoffrey Woo, have scaled H.V.M.N. in a few short years. Most recently, they introduced the second iteration of their flagship ketone drink, Ketone-IQTM. H.V.M.N. invented Ketone-IQTM because they believe people should spend more time with elevated ketone levels for better health and performance. Through Michael’s steadfast leadership, H.V.M.N not only launched the world’s first drinkable ketone, but is tracking to redefine the limits of human performance, metabolism, and longevity to combat the global metabolic health crisis.
Alongside his co-founder, the duo secured a $6 million dollar contract from the U.S. Special Operations Command to continue research into the benefits of ketones. The pair gained early interest from pro-athletes including Former Olymian Speed Skater Apolo Ohno, Professional Racing cyclist Vittoria Bussi and Ultrarunner Jeff Browning and notable early investors such as Andreessen Horowitz, and Joe Montana (Hall of Fame NFL Quarterback).
As a father of a newborn, Michael has increasingly limited free time but remains an avid triathlete and marathoner with a 2:42 personal record.

Paul Austin joined the podcast for a fascinating discussion about the third wave of psychedelics! He shares how and when the first and second wave ended, and how we can support the third wave to change the future of the psychedelic space. He breaks down everything we need to know about this topic, including the different options for dosing and the importance of integration into our daily lives. He also shares what's currently happening as far as decriminalization and legalization and where he sees the industry going in the next few years.
Paul F. Austin is an entrepreneur, public speaker, and educator. He has founded two companies in the emerging psychedelic space, Third Wave and Synthesis. Within Third Wave, Paul leads his team in building an educational platform to ensure psychedelic substances become responsibly integrated into our cultural framework. Currently, Third Wave offers long-form psychedelic guides, online microdosing programs, and an industry-best network of clinics and retreat providers. In 2018, Paul co-founded Synthesis, and led several high-dose psilocybin truffle retreats over the span of one year. When not leading retreats, Paul headed up branding, marketing, and public relations for Synthesis before stepping back to focus on Third Wave full-time. Because of his pioneering work at the intersection of psychedelic use, personal transformation, and professional success, Paul has been featured in the BBC, Forbes, and Rolling Stone. Paul sees psychedelic use as a skill, one that becomes more refined as we explore the many nuances of these awe-inspiring medicines and molecules. Learning how to hone this skill will be crucial in the story of humanity’s present-future evolution.

We are so excited to share this incredible interview with Ari Whitten, the founder of The Energy Blueprint. We have been following his work for many years and are always blown away by the information and tips he shares. He kicks off the episode by sharing his health journey with an Epstein Barr Virus diagnosis that led him to discover the true causes of chronic fatigue. He explains the importance of the mitochondria (and mitochondrial biogenesis); how the cell danger response impacts energy; the major role our circadian rhythm plays in energy levels; how melatonin isn't just a "sleep supplement"; and the fascinating, yet frightening effects of caffeine on our brains.
Ari Whitten is the Founder of The Energy Blueprint. He is an energy and fatigue specialist who focuses on taking an evidence-based approach to energy enhancement, nutrition, exercise, natural health expert, and #1 best-selling author. He has been studying nutrition and holistic health for more than 2 decades and has a Bachelor of Science from San Diego State University in Kinesiology (with specialization in fitness, nutrition, and health). He also has a background in exercise physiology and fitness. He holds two advanced certifications from the National Academy of Sports Medicine as a Corrective Exercise Specialist and Performance Enhancement Specialist. In addition, he recently completed the 3 years of coursework for his Ph.D. Clinical Psychology, an education that rounds out all aspects – nutrition, fitness, and psychology – of his approach to optimal health.

Josh Whalen, CEO & Founder of Blokes, thought there had to be a better way than sterile clinics and subpar services in order to optimize men's health. Blokes connects you with licensed providers and provides customized treatments to support better focus, strength and recovery so you can feel like you again.
His journey to creating Blokes started a few years ago when he started feeling, well, old. He's talking low energy, lack of focus, a dwindling drive, and yep, some failure to launch. Every treatment he sought either gave him a one-size-fits-all approach or told him to accept this new normal. As you can imagine, he didn’t.
Failing to accept the norm wasn't new for him. When he was starting out, he was fired from more jobs than he could count. He was always pushing himself hard with larger-than-life goals for his life and career. So early on, he decided to become an entrepreneur and drive his own destiny. Now with Blokes, they're creating the future of men’s health care.
Josh shares valuable insight into what's missing for men's health today and how personalized medicine is key. He strives to help men through lab testing, healthy lifestyle changes, optimized dietary changes, hormone replacement therapy and peptides.

Autumn Smith suffered from debilitating digestive issues and crippling anxiety for most of her life. Specialist after specialist told her nothing could be done, and she was ready to give up. But as one final attempt at a life free of health issues, Autumn decided to harness the power of whole foods. She cleaned up her diet and in just 30 days, her IBS was cured. But that was just the beginning. She also had less anxiety, was mentally sharper, and a bubbly side of her that she forgot existed came back. Since then, Autumn has dedicated her life to helping others harness the power of whole foods to live vibrant lives.
In 2013, she and her husband Chas launched Paleovalley, a company dedicated to helping people get the essential nutrients they need, without added sugars, grains, and other harmful ingredients. But they didn’t stop there. After learning about the healing powers of grass fed, pasture raised meat - both for our bodies and the planet - Autumn and Chas started their next venture. In 2018, they launched Wild Pastures, a regenerative meat delivery service that sends 100% grass fed pasture raised meat directly to your doorstep.
Autumn shares her inspiring health journey, as well as practical tips to start incorporating more whole foods into their diet. She knows how hard it can be to stick with a healthy diet and is striving to remove those hurdles for everyone. She never expected she would become an expert on regenerative and sustainable agriculture but now she feels compelled to share her knowledge with the world to save the planet and optimize health.

Melissa Bolona, Founder & CEO of Beauty & the Broth, recognized the power of bone broth from the inside out; however, she felt that bone broth offerings were lacking accessibility and innovation. To fill this gap, Melissa took the matters into her own hands, dedicating 2 years to R&D, testing countless ratios and recipes in order to make sure that each batch of Beauty & the Broth tasted homemade and nutritious. It was during this time that she discovered that her recipes in concentrated form were the best and most optimal way to conveniently get bone broth into her customers' hands.
Beauty & the Broth is the first of its kind, beauty and wellness brand offering shelf-stable, direct to consumer bone broth that's care-free, convenient and customizable.
Melissa created Beauty & The Broth to introduce a direct to door model of bone broth, designed for anytime and anywhere, easy to assimilate into daily consumption, treating it like a cup of morning coffee. The single serve packaged, USDA organic broth concentrates with no preservatives are available for subscription delivery nationwide allowing one to take it on-the-go in the car, to the gym or even to the beach. From tighter skin elasticity to decreased brain fog, the benefits of the broth can be attributed to the simple, paleo, gluten-free, salt-free and keto-friendly ingredients, cooked by the brand’s signature slow simmer process. This unique process preserves the natural flavors, compounds, proteins and collagens which results in higher quality, more flavorful products and ingredients.
Melissa shared how bone broth initiated her journey back to optimal health, why bone broth and exercise are easy first steps everyone can take, and the incredible health benefits collagen offers. She truly believes beauty starts from within by optimizing gut, brain, and immune health.

We welcome Leslie Kenny, founder of Oxford Healthspan to the show this week. Leslie was told by her doctors that her lupus diagnosis had a life expectancy of five years and that RA could only be managed, not cured. She set out to optimize her health as best she could with safe, natural solutions. Today, at age 56, Leslie is living proof that we can get better with age, so long as we take responsibility for our health and meet our doctors halfway. Spermidine is part of her anti-aging arsenal, and she hopes it will become part of yours too.

When asked why women struggle with health, “It’s because we’ve been trained like men. It’s because all of our basic education on nutrition, on health and exercise and everything, and training. All of it was based off of a male body and we expect our own systems, which change every single week, to perform and execute everything, and have results like a male body, and we’re never educated fully on all the things that happen.”

Just the Biohacker Babes on this episode where we discuss 5 categories for weight loss supplements and our top 5 products for weight loss.
In this episode, Lauren and Renee are talking about the super popular topic of weight loss. They have talked about this a bit in the past, but they're focusing more on supplements today. They discuss things like getting enough sleep, reducing inflammation, and general dietary principles as the main factors in controlling weight and keeping blood sugar levels stable. The 5 supplements they talk about are Berberine, Green tea extract, L-Carnitine, Creatine, and CLA, or conjugated linoleic acid.
Our top 5 supplements 2:38
Blood sugar 5:18
Strength training 8:03

“I love that you mentioned one of the most common ones first. Low testosterone. So many women are like, ‘I don’t need testosterone, that’s a male hormone.’ You do need it and a lot of women have low testosterone and it’s really critical for maintaining muscle mass, which is going to help with weight loss. With fat burning. It is a critical component of our metabolism.”

Today we meet with Elias Arjan, the Senior Vice President at Biostrap, one of our favorite biohacking wearables on the market. The Biostrap provides the highest data integrity, captures biometrics at clinical-grade accuracy, measures your sleep cycles and syncs with your phone in a matter of a few minutes, so you will know exactly how ready your body is to face the day. While similar to other wearables in that it tracks your steps and resting heart rate, it goes further by testing heart rate variability, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, and sleep efficiency. We discuss how Elias got into health improvement and the moment that he realized health was a choice and not just something you’re born with. There are various factors you have to consider when thinking about biohacking, such as gender, age, and current physical well being, before you decide how to approach your health and we talk about all of these factors here.

“Biohacking can appeal to people who have OCD like tendencies, and then they get hyper militant with themselves, and they don’t have maybe the patience, or even the self love to be able to accept where they are and they get too obsessed with taking it into extremes.”

Today we discuss the basics of meditation and the benefits many experience, as well as the difficulties people experience when practicing or trying to get into it. We have with us Ariel Garten, the co-founder of Muse, the home of a meditation headband created to assist you with focus and getting into your flow. Muse reads brainwaves and gives you audio feedback based on your thoughts, giving you storm sounds when you’re losing focus and calm, bird sounds when you’re able to maintain a focused state. Ariel tells us about the benefits of using the Muse Headband and why it can make meditation for you and everyone around you so much better.
About Ariel 4:03
Meditation and mindfulness 7:40
What is meditation? 11:00
How Ariel got into meditation 14:50
Can Muse be used with experienced meditators? 20:53

Session lengths 39:50
Is there anyone that should not use Muse? 43:28
“When your mind is stormy and you’re getting too caught up and frustrated by the storm, it just gets stormier and stomier, and then it really just intuitively teaches you this lesson of letting go of what’s bothering you, letting go of the friction, letting go of the resistance and allowing yourself to come to calm. And it becomes this beautiful, intuitive lesson to teach you one of the most poignant things about meditation, which is to accept and be OK with what is.” 24:03

We’ve had some requests about the topic of brain fog, so we decided to create an awesome episode on this subject. Brain fog is not a medical condition, but rather a spectrum of issues that causes you to experience a persistent lack of clarity and inability to focus, poor cognitive function, mental fatigue, and memory loss. Often the cause of these issues can’t be pinpointed to one particular source from the day before, such as cognitive fatigue after a night of drinking. So today we are going to discuss why you might be experiencing this and the various causes for encountering brain fog, coming up with possible solutions for you.
Symptoms of brain fog 3:16
Category #1 7:17
Food sensitivities 10:27
Sugar consumption 11:28
NSAIDS and other medications 13:16
The vagus nerve 15:49
Hormones and menopause, thyroid 18:32
Stealth infection 23:36
Circadian rhythm, sleep 27:52
Detoxification 32:20
Blood sugar 36:24
Genetics 38:34
Omegas 40:45
Identify your food sensitivities 45:48
Some fun biohacks 53:12
“If you do a food sensitivity panel and you have 10, 20, 30, 40 foods come up, that’s when you want to look back to your gut health. It’s not normal to react to that many foods.” “Yeah I think the average person could have 2 or 3 food sensitivities, right? Maybe dairy, gluten, eggs, the common things. But if you’re reacting to everything, that’s where you really need to look at gut health first. You gotta heal the gut, and then your body will hopefully stop responding so negatively to all those different foods.” 10:45

Today we talk to Colleen Cutcliffe, PhD, who is the co-founder and CEO of Pendulum Glucose Control, a probiotic product. We dive deep into the correlation between your gut microbiome and blood glucose levels, discussing the positive and negative effects of antibiotics on your body and especially the bodies of children.

“The question we should all be asking our doctors is, ‘Do I really need to be taking this antibiotic? What can I do to help ensure that these other negative repercussions are things that I can counteract? How do I do that?’ And so I think it’s just being a little bit more cautious and aware of what those antibiotics are doing to us.” 8:00

“Even the biggest workout junkie who works out five times a week, eventually he’s like, ‘Ehh, I thought I loved working out five times a week, but what I really love doing is working out about once or twice a week and playing with my kids.’ Or spending that extra time reading, or doing whatever else you wanna do in the world and create the life you wanna create.” 41:17

Just the Biohacker Babes on this episode talking about lab biomarkers everyone should be testing. This is not to scare anyone by any means, but this is mainly just for prevention. While you are healthy, these are just good things to know to prevent issues that may come down the road. Watch and measure these 8 markers in your own bodies to understand where your health is at.
Marker 1: Fasting, Blood glucose, and HbA1c 6:17
Marker 2: CRP, know your inflammation 11:32
Marker 3: Cholesterol 14:22
Marker 4: Vitamin D 19:32
Marker 5: Cortisol 23:34
Marker 6: Full thyroid panel 29:00
Marker 7: Iron and ferritin 31:18
Marker 8: Homocysteine and inflammation 35:25
“So HGL, just the basics, this is known as just the more protective form of cholesterol. We want this to be a strong number. LDL is potentially dangerous, so we don’t want that to be too high. Triglycerides is a form of stored fat that circulates in the bloodstream that usually it’s from excess weight, calories, alcohol, lack of exercise, liver damage, could be genetics, and just overall inflation will raise triglycerides.” 15:35

People today are over-stimulated, stressed, exhausted and still try to push through because that’s what society (and our over-stimulated brains) says to do. But we need to rest! Self-care goes beyond rest and recovery. Self-care is the act of taking responsibility for all of your needs: body, mind and spirit. This is a paradigm shift! It’s not about working harder, longer, and faster anymore, because this only makes us sick and miserable. You have to slow down to speed up!
