S1 Ep 87Victor Sagalovsky: A Powerful Anti-Aging Biohacking You've Probably Never Used
In the realm of health and wellness, revolutionary discoveries often require time and persistent effort. One such discovery, unraveling the profound effects of deuterium on aging and the benefits of deuterium-depleted water, has transformed our understanding of health and longevity. Deuterium, a natural element found in our bodies and environment, was first discovered in 1932 by Dr. Ure and his colleague. Despite its presence in our physiology, it has been found that our bodies should ideally have 25% less deuterium for optimal health. An excess of deuterium can cause damage to our bodies, a fact that has been overlooked in many scientific studies until now.Deuterium disrupts the energy production process in our cells, leading to aging and a decrease in energy levels. Reducing deuterium levels in our bodies could potentially slow down the aging process and boost our energy production. Deuterium's impact on aging is not just limited to the cellular level, it also affects the structure of our DNA and collagen, two key components in the aging process. Welcome to another episode of the Biohacking Beauty podcast brought to you by Young Goose Skincare! In this episode, host Amitay Eshel, the CEO of Young Goose, is joined by Victor Sagalovsky, founder cofounder and CEO of Litewater Scientific, the first and only super deuterium-depleted light water. Today we'll dive into the marvels of super deterium depleted water, the endogenous radiation damage theory, and his influential strides in wellness and longevity realm.What we discuss: 03:39 -What Inspired Victor to Pursue Deuterium Depleted Water10:50 - Deuterium's Impact on Aging and Energy15:33 - Why Are We Exposed to Deuterium Now More than Ever18:39 - Heavy Water’s Effects on Skin Health, Rejuvenation, and Aging28:15 - Endogenous Radiation Damage Theory34:40 - Lowering Deuterium in Our Bodies39:10 - Benefits of Drinking Deuterium-Depleted Water42:38 - The Key to Longevity46:17 - The Future of Deuterium Depleted Water51:52 - Understanding Skincare Ingredients and SunscreenTo learn more about Young Goose:Website: https://www.younggoose.com/Instagram: @young_goose_skincareGet 20% off your first purchase by using code PODCAST20 at www.younggoose.comTo learn more about Victor SagalovskyWebsite: https://www.drinklitewater.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drinklitewater/

S1 Ep 86Biohack Your Way to Better Skin
The term 'biohacking' may sound intimidating, but it simply refers to a practice that uses science and technology to make your body function better. This convergence lies at the core of the Young Goose skincare line, with a mission to biohack skincare and rejuvenate the skin on a cellular level by utilizing powerful ingredients like NAD+ (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide). NAD+ plays a crucial role in the skin's rejuvenation and repair processes, resulting in healthier, younger-looking skin. As we age, our NAD+ levels decline, which can lead to reduced cellular repair and increased signs of aging. Taking control of skin aging extends beyond just using skincare products, and holistic practices like regular exercise, intermittent fasting, maintaining good sleep hygiene, and embracing mindfulness can naturally elevate NAD levels. Welcome to another episode of the Biohacking Beauty podcast brought to you by Young Goose Skincare! In this episode, Amber Berger and Dina Wizmur from The Well Drop podcast engage in a compelling conversation with Amitay Eshel, the CEO of Young Goose, and Co-founder, Anastasia Khodzhaeva for an insightful conversation on how Young Goose products aid in slowing down the skin aging process. We discuss how NAD+ makes your cells function younger, the importance of SPF, the top contributors to skin aging, and how the skin evolves through a woman’s cycle.Use 10amber for 10% discount at https://www.younggoose.com/What We Discuss:02:56 - What is NAD08:45 - How to Boost NAD Levels15:11 - Importance of SPF21:00 - What is Biohacking Skincare?22:04 - Do You Actually Need an Eye Cream?25:00 - How Botox Affects NAD Levels in the Skin27:48 - Facial Exercises and Massages30:58 - Skincare Tips and Product Recommendations3:47 - How the Skin Changes during a Woman’s CycleTo learn more about Young Goose:Website: https://www.younggoose.com/Instagram: @young_goose_skincareGet 20% off your first purchase by using code PODCAST20 at www.younggoose.comTo learn more about The Well Drop:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewelldrop/Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-well-drop-own-your-wellness/id1694246861

S1 Ep 80Reed Davis: Understanding the Connection Between Nutrition and Skin Health
When it comes to maintaining our skin health, many of us focus on what we put on our skin, rather than how we treat and nourish our bodies. But the truth is, the secret to achieving radiant, youthful skin goes beyond just topical treatment. Our guest today is here to share the inside-out approach to health that could have a significant impact on the appearance of our skin.Welcome to another episode of the Biohacking Beauty podcast brought to you by Young Goose Skincare! In this episode, host Amitay Eshel, the CEO of Young Goose, is joined by Reed Davis to discuss the connection between nutrition and skin health. He shares his journey into Functional Diagnostic Nutrition (FDN) and his unique approach to treating health issues. We also cover why it’s important to focus on treating underlying causes rather than symptoms, and why detoxifying the body and maintaining a healthy microbiome are key in improving skin health.Reed Davis is the Founder of Functional Diagnostic Nutrition® (FDN) and the FDN Certification Course. He has made an invaluable contribution to the health and wellness industry through FDN. He has trained thousands of practitioners worldwide in functional lab testing and holistic lifestyle approaches, empowering them to help their clients reach optimal health by addressing the root causes of their health issues, rather than only their symptoms. What we discuss:[07:17] Focusing on treating underlying causes rather than symptoms[14:07] Niching is important in marketing to connect with people who have similar health problems.[20:16] Balancing hormones and reducing overproduction of oils can improve skin conditions.[26:16] Nutrition and its connection to training and skincare[32:08] Physical, chemical, and emotional stressors can have long-lasting effects on the body.[38:11] The key things to sort out for holistic health are mental/emotional, physical, and chemical stressors.[44:00] Eating according to your genetic requirements can improve your health and energy levels.[49:45] Functional Diagnostic Nutrition (FDN) focuses on personalized health and wellbeing.Key Takeaways:Functional Diagnostic Nutrition (FDN) is a holistic approach to health that takes an inside-out perspective, placing emphasis on the relationship between nutrition and skin health. It recognizes that the appearance and condition of the skin are influenced by internal factors, such as gut health and nutrient deficiencies. FDN focuses on addressing the root causes of skin issues rather than solely managing the symptoms.Physical, chemical, and emotional stressors can have profound and enduring impacts on the body. Traumatic experiences and intense physical activity can contribute to the accumulation of trauma within the body, which can have long-lasting effects. Additionally, constant exposure to external factors and toxins can also take a toll on the body's well-being. Eating according to your genetic requirements refers to following a diet that is tailored to your individual genetic makeup. The idea behind this approach is that each person's genetic composition influences how their body responds to different types of food and nutrients. By understanding your genetic requirements, you can make informed dietary choices that align with your body's specific needs.

S1 Ep 79Exfoliation Explained: The Science Behind Smooth Skin
Most of us have heard of exfoliation, and you may already be incorporating this step into your routine. But did you know that exfoliation plays a pivotal role in keeping your skin radiant and healthy? Think of exfoliation as prepping a canvas before painting. Just like you wouldn't apply fresh paint on a wall without preparing it first, you shouldn't apply skincare products on a layer of dead skin cells. Welcome to another episode of the Biohacking Beauty podcast brought to you by Young Goose Skincare! In this episode, host Amitay Eshel, the CEO of Young Goose, dives into an essential step in your skincare routine: exfoliation. He covers why exfoliation is crucial for maintaining healthy skin, and the difference between chemical and mechanical exfoliation. Plus, he shares the importance of understanding the needs of your skin.What we discuss:[00:02:25] Why skin cell turnover is crucial for maintaining healthy skin [00:03:15] Chemical vs. mechanical exfoliation[00:04:08] The benefits of proper exfoliation[00:08:22] Why understanding the needs of your skin is essentialKey Takeaways:Exfoliation plays an important role in enhancing the absorption and effectiveness of skincare products. By removing the layer of dead skin cells on the surface of your skin, exfoliation allows the active ingredients in skincare products to penetrate more deeply and work more effectively. This means that your moisturizers, serums, and treatments can better target and address specific skin concerns, resulting in improved overall skincare results.There are two primary types of exfoliation: mechanical and chemical. Mechanical or physical exfoliation entails physically scrubbing the skin using an abrasive substance. In contrast, chemical exfoliation involves using ingredients such as acids or enzymes that dissolve the glue binding the dead skin cells together.Understanding the specific requirements of your skin is vital for effective exfoliation. Oily skin, for instance, often faces issues like excessive dead skin cells and clogged pores. Frequent exfoliation can be beneficial in maintaining a clearer complexion for oily skin types. On the other hand, dry skin may require a gentler approach to exfoliation, as it tends to be more sensitive.To learn more about Young Goose:Website: https://www.younggoose.com/Instagram: @young_goose_skincareGet 20% off your first purchase by using code PODCAST20 at www.younggoose.com

Did you know it’s possible to trick your skin into functioning like it did when it was younger? Just like lifting weights helps build muscle and aerobic exercise helps improve your cardiovascular health, using active ingredients like retinol and vitamin C can actually change the function of our skin as we age. Welcome to another episode of the Biohacking Beauty podcast brought to you by Young Goose Skincare! In this episode, host Amitay Eshel, the CEO of Young Goose, is joined by Darnell Cox to discuss how small lifestyle changes can have a profound impact on skin health.

It starts with being mindful of what you put into your body and how you move it. Drinking excessively, lack of sleep, insufficient exercise, and failure to use sunscreen can undermine the benefits of any skincare procedure. Paying attention to all these aspects forms a solid foundation for promoting healthy, radiant skin.It's essential to understand that there is a limit to how much you can engage in certain skincare procedures without causing harm to your skin. Overdoing radio frequency or microneedling can exhaust the skin and disrupt its ability to repair itself. Just like when you tear muscle fibers during a workout, it is important to give your skin time to heal.Exposing your skin to sunlight in moderation can have a positive impact on our internal clocks and sleep-wake cycles. However, when it comes to protecting the skin from damage caused by the sun, it is important to take extra precautions and use sun protection.To learn more about Young Goose:Website: https://www.younggoose.com/Instagram: @young_goose_skincareGet 20% off your first purchase by using code PODCAST20 at www.younggoose.comTo learn more about Darnell Cox:Website: https://www.liveyounglifestyle.com/Instagram: @liveyounglifestyle

S1 Ep 77Combating Sun Damage From The Inside Out
Most of us know that protecting your skin from the sun's harmful rays is crucial for maintaining healthy skin. Unprotected exposure to the sun's ultraviolet rays can cause premature aging, wrinkles, sun spots, and can even increase your risk of skin cancer. While wearing SPF to protect your skin from sun damage is essential, did you know that other lifestyle choices we make can add another line of defense against the harmful effects of UV rays?Welcome to another episode of the Biohacking Beauty podcast brought to you by Young Goose Skincare! In this episode, host Amitay Eshel, the CEO of Young Goose, discusses the topic of sun damage and sun protection, including why it's essential to understand how sun damage impacts our skin health. He covers the difference between UVA and UVB rays when it comes to how they impact our skin, and how the supplements we take and the foods we eat may help protect our skin from sun damage.What we discuss:[00:02:17] Understanding how sun damage impacts our skin health [00:04:34] How antioxidants protect the skin[00:06:34] Why vitamin E is crucial for skin health [00:10:02] The fundamental role of diet and hygiene in skin health and sun protection [00:14:11] Using supplements for sun protection [00:17:34] Tips for embarking on a new supplement regimen Key Takeaways:The key culprits behind sun damage are UVA and UVB rays. UVB rays are primarily responsible for sunburn and direct DNA damage and reach only the outer layer of the skin. UVA rays have a longer wavelength and penetrate deeper into the skin to the dermis, causing long term damage and premature aging.Antioxidants are powerful molecules that play a vital role in protecting our skin and body from oxidative stress caused by free radicals, which are a byproduct of sun exposure. Antioxidants work by donating an electron and stabilizing the free radicals, which prevents them from causing a chain reaction of damage to other cells.Eating a balanced, nutrient rich, anti-inflammatory diet can greatly enhance our skin's ability to protect itself from sun damage. Fruits and vegetables that are high in antioxidants can provide an additional line of defense against the harmful effects of UV rays. Additionally, foods high in omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to have anti-inflammatory properties and may help protect the skin from sun damage.

S1 Ep 76Dr. Sandra Kaufmann: Skin Aging at the Cellular Level
Skin aging is a natural process that affects everyone as they grow older, however, there are several factors that can accelerate the aging process, including cellular degeneration. Our skin is composed of various types of cells, each playing a crucial role in maintaining its health and appearance. Understanding these cellular mechanisms can help us take steps to slow down the aging process and maintain healthier, more youthful-looking skin. Welcome to another episode of the Biohacking Beauty podcast brought to you by Young Goose Skincare! In this episode, host Amitay Eshel, the CEO of Young Goose, is joined by Dr. Sandra Kaufmann to discuss the cellular causes of skin aging, and her work in developing the Kaufmann protocol. We’ll also cover why both internal and external care is necessary for optimizing skin health, and why mixing up your skincare can be beneficial for aging skin. Dr. Sandra Kaufmann began her academic career in the field of cellular biology, earning a Master’s Degree from the University of Connecticut in Tropical Ecology and Plant Physiology. Turning to medicine, she received her medical Degree at the University of Maryland, and completed a residency and fellowship at Johns Hopkins in the field of pediatric anesthesiology.

While topical treatments like injectables and Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapies can enhance skin appearance, internal care through supplements can play a pivotal role in protecting and repairing the skin from damage.As we age, our skin undergoes various changes and requires different approaches to maintain its health and vitality. One effective strategy for aging skin is to mix up your skincare routine. This involves incorporating a range of products and techniques to address different concerns and adapt to the changing needs of your skin.Addressing skin concerns like creepiness requires a combination of internal and external approaches. However, in order to stimulate collagen, it is important to provide the necessary nutrients for fibroblasts, the cells responsible for collagen production.

S1 Ep 75Collagen Stimulation Through Facial Rejuvenation Treatments
Collagen is one of the most crucial proteins in our body when it comes to maintaining healthy skin. Unfortunately, with age and exposure to external factors like sun damage and pollution, our collagen production decreases, leading to wrinkles, fine lines, and decreased skin elasticity. Thankfully, professional treatments like microneedling, chemical peels, and laser therapy can help stimulate collagen production and improve skin health and appearance. With the help of these professional treatments in addition to a daily skincare regimen, it is possible to rejuvenate the skin and maintain a youthful glow even as we age.Welcome to another episode of the Biohacking Beauty podcast brought to you by Young Goose Skincare! In this episode, host Amitay Eshel, the CEO of Young Goose, discusses how professional skincare treatments can be beneficial for collagen stimulation. He covers why boosting collagen production is essential for overall skin health, and dives into some of the professional treatments that are becoming increasingly popular for maintaining youthful skin. Plus, he explains why combining professional treatments with an at-home skincare regimen is the key to improving overall skin health.What we discuss:[00:00] Professional treatments for collagen stimulation and their potential downsides[04:51] Collagen production decreases with age and external factors, but professional treatments can help improve skin health and appearance.[00:41] Different skin treatments stimulate collagen production[12:56] Overview of professional treatments for collagen stimulation[16:38] Professional treatments for collagen stimulation are vital but maintaining a daily skincare regimen and holistic lifestyle is equally important.[20:21] Use ProC.A.R.E. and BioBarrier serums for youthful and resilient skin[23:43] Tips for healthy skin[27:10] A comprehensive approach is crucial for maintaining and enhancing skin health.Key Takeaways:Professional skincare treatments such as microneedling, chemical peels, and laser therapy can be effective for stimulating collagen production and improving the overall appearance and health of the skin. However, it is equally important to maintain a daily skincare regimen and holistic lifestyle to ensure the health and well-being of your skin.It's essential to understand the potential downsides and misconceptions associated with professional skincare treatments. It's also important to note that the results of these treatments are not immediate and may require multiple sessions, depending on the person's skin type and condition.Consulting with a professional is important to understand which professional skincare treatments are best suited for your specific skin health goals and needs.

S1 Ep 72Understanding the Science of Collagen and its Role in Skin Health
Welcome to another episode of the Biohacking Beauty podcast brought to you by Young Goose Skincare! In this episode, host Amitay Eshel, the CEO of Young Goose, covers everything you need to know about collagen, including how collagen changes as we age and what we can do to boost its production in order to maintain skin health. We also dive into some of the lifestyle choices that can impact collagen production, and what collagen-boosting products you can incorporate into your skincare regimen.Collagen is the most abundant protein in our bodies, providing structure and strength to our skin, bones, tendons, ligaments, and other areas. As we age, the production of collagen in our body decreases, which leads to changes in the quality and quantity of collagen in our tissues. Luckily, there are ways to help to support the production of collagen in our skin.What we discuss:[00:00] Understanding the science of collagen and its role in skin health.[03:13] Collagen is crucial for skin health and firmness[06:02] Factors that damage collagen can lead to premature skin aging[09:04] Boosting collagen production for healthy skin[11:47] A full regimen for collagen maintenance and boosting[14:18] Support skin health with proper nutrients, hydration, and sleep[16:46] Collagen supplements can improve skin elasticity and hydration.[19:22] Importance of understanding and setting realistic expectations when consuming collagen supplementsKey Takeaways:Environmental factors can have an impact on collagen production, leading to premature skin aging.

S1 Ep 71The Science Behind NAD+, the Link Between NAD+ and Skin Aging, and the Importance of Precursors
Welcome to another episode of the Biohacking Beauty podcast brought to you by Young Goose Skincare! In this episode, host Amitay Eshel, the CEO of Young Goose, dives back into the world of NAD+, and discusses the science behind NAD+, its relationship with aging, and most importantly, how it can potentially transform your skincare routine.NAD+ has been gaining a lot of attention recently in the skincare industry because of its ability to reverse cellular damage caused by aging and environmental stressors. As we age, the level of NAD+ in our bodies decreases, which can result in a decline in the efficiency of our cells' functions. This decline affects our skin's ability to produce collagen and elastin, leading to the formation of wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin.Luckily, there are ways to boost NAD+ levels in the skin, and one of them is through skincare products that contain NAD+ precursors.What we discuss:[00:03:04] NAD+ is a crucial player in every person's body [00:06:57] Two things that happen as we grow older[00:09:21] Boosting NAD+ with supplements [00:13:21] Why are NAD+ precursors necessary? [00:16:22] Why your skin needs to be in repair mode [00:18:55] How do we incorporate NAD+ in skincare?[00:20:44] NAD+ is one of the most exciting molecules when it comes to longevity and anti-aging Key Takeaways:Simply using NAD+ in skincare products is not enough to reap its benefits because it cannot penetrate the skin barrier effectively. NAD+ precursors, on the other hand, are compounds that can increase the availability of NAD+ in the body by providing the building blocks to create it. NAD+ precursors such as nicotinamide riboside (NR) and nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) can help boost NAD+ levels in the skin.The skin requires adequate amounts of NAD+ to carry out efficient DNA repair and regulate cellular metabolism. NAD+ is also essential for the production of energy required for cell division, proliferation, and differentiation, which are critical for proper skin renewal.As we age, there is a rise in an enzyme called CD38. CD38 is an enzyme that is found on the surface of various cells in the body, and one of its main functions is to break down NAD+ into smaller components. When CD38 is produced at abnormally high levels, it can deplete cellular stores of NAD+, resulting in lower levels of NAD+ in the skin.To learn more about Young Goose:Website: https://www.younggoose.com/Instagram: @young_goose_skincareGet 20% off your first purchase by using code PODCAST20 at www.younggoose.com

S1 Ep 70Rachel Varga: EMFs, Blue Light, and Skin Health
Did you know environmental stressors play a significant role in skin aging? Over the past few decades, there has been a significant increase in environmental toxins that can negatively impact our health, including our skin health. These toxins can be found in the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat, the lighting we use, and the electromagnetic waves we are exposed to. Luckily, making lifestyle changes can help reduce our exposure to environmental toxins.Welcome to another episode of the Biohacking Beauty podcast brought to you by Young Goose Skincare! In this episode, host Amitay Eshel, the CEO of Young Goose, is joined by Rachel Varga to discuss how environmental stressors like blue light and EMFs can drive skin aging. We also dive into the various technologies that can be used for skin rejuvenation, and the different detoxification methods for removing heavy metals from the body.Rachel Varga is a double board-certified aesthetic nurse with over 10 years of experience working in aesthetic medicine and providing non-surgical rejuvenation treatments. Rachel is the host of a top 20 podcast, the Rachel Varga podcast, and an international clinical trainer for other physicians and nurses. She is also an award-winning author in the fields of regenerative and aesthetic nursing, as well as an executive board member and peer reviewer for the Plastic and Aesthetic Nursing Journal. Rachel is one of the first to combine functional techniques, biohacking, and modern medical aesthetics by teaching patients how to tune into what the skin is telling them about their internal health.What we discuss:[00:00] Environmental stressors drive skin aging[07:49] Blue light is harmful to the skin and eyes, and can contribute to aging and disease.[20:03] EMFs are a real threat to our physiology[26:10] EMF mitigation through clothing and turning off devices can improve sleep and overall health[38:48] Awareness of Morgellons disease and Lyme's disease is important for aesthetic practitioners[44:39] Detoxification methods using technology[56:26] Eating healthy and detoxing can improve body odor and overall health[1:02:07] The importance of beauty and biohacking for self-expression and social ability[1:14:08] Being able to emote is key for development and communication[1:19:55] Strategies to mitigate stress and slow aging[1:36:59] Protect yourself from blue light and use non-nano zinc oxide sunblockKey Takeaways:Oxidative stress is a state where there is an imbalance between the production of ROS and the body's ability to detoxify and repair the damage caused by them. When the skin is exposed to oxidative stress, it can lead to premature aging and wrinkles. Additionally, EMFs have been shown to impair blood flow and circulation, which can reduce the skin's ability to receive nutrients and oxygen.One of the most visible effects of blue light on the skin is hyperpigmentation. Blue light has been shown to stimulate the production of melanin, which is the pigment that gives skin its color. This can lead to dark spots on the skin, such as sun spots and age spots.Detoxification methods such as ionic foot baths, saunas, and binders can be effective in removing toxins and heavy metals from the body. These methods work by helping the body eliminate harmful substances that have accumulated in the tissues and organs.To learn more about Young Goose:Website: https://www.younggoose.com/Instagram: @young_goose_skincareGet 20% off your first purchase by using code PODCAST20 at www.younggoose.comTo learn more about Rachel Varga:https://rachelvarga.ca/Podcast: Rachel Varga PodcastTwitter: @rachelvargaofficial

S1 Ep 58Danijela Schenker: Microneedling, Softwave Therapy, and Collagen Overstimulation
Welcome to another episode of the Biohacking Beauty podcast brought to you by Young Goose Skincare! In this episode, host Amitay Eshel, the CEO of Young Goose, is joined by Danijela Schenker. We discuss the different therapies for skin rejuvenation such as at-home micro-needling and softwave therapy.She also explains why we should care for our skin sooner, her at-home approach to micro-needling, the downside of collagen overdosing, working on your skin from the inside out, and how to improve your skin barrier. Danijela Schenker is a former ICU nurse for twenty years and nursing instructor, turned beauty biohacker, and health visionary, ten years ago. Optimizing beauty, health, and well-being is her passion.Key Takeaways:Beware of collagen overdose if you’re practicing at-home micro-needling. You need to reconsider the intervals at which you subject your skin to this treatment. Micro-needling uses thin needles to make tiny holes in the top layer of your skin. The damage helps stimulate your skin's healing process, so it produces more collagen and elastin. However, doing this too often without sufficient breaks in between will eventually result in an over-production of collagen that causes the tightening and thickening of your skin. This will cause your skin to stretch, thicken, and harden.Are you working from the inside out - or the outside in? From gut health to cell senescence, there are biological processes in our body that are behind most skin issues. However, since we only see the symptoms of these inside problems on the outside of our bodies, i.e. our skin, the beauty industry is very much focused on the end results and what happens to the skin on a topical level.The studies prove it: you only need to integrate these 2 simple ingredients in your skincare routine to repair your skin barrier - and upkeep it. First, you should use a moisturizer that contains ceramides as it restores the lipid composition of the skin. Ceramides are waxy lipids found in especially high concentrations in the stratum corneum. Another productive way to keep your skin barrier in top shape is to use humectants. They work by drawing water and binding it to the skin barrier. Products that contain hyaluronic acid, like Young Goose’s Adaptogenic HA Firming Boost Serum, keep your skin hydrated.

S1 Ep 56Dr. Chris Shade: Mercury Toxicity, Detoxification, and Glutathione Levels
Welcome to another episode of the Biohacking Beauty podcast brought to you by Young Goose Skincare! In this episode, host Amitay Eshel, the CEO of Young Goose, is joined by JDr. Chris Shade. We discuss how mercury toxicity impacts your body and your skin. We also share how one can detoxify their body from this toxin. Christopher Shade, Ph.D., is the founder and CEO of Quicksilver Scientific®. He specializes in the biological, environmental, and analytical chemistry of mercury in all its forms and its interactions with sulfur compounds, particularly glutathione, and its enzyme system.What we discuss:05:51: About Dr. Shade15:21: How does mercury affect the skin?22:24: How does mercury toxicity impact your body?32:03: How can we get glutathione levels up?36:41: Why should someone be interested in the pre-care of molecules?42:57: How to detoxify your body with supplements and topicals?51:35: Where can you learn more about Dr. Shade?Key Takeaways:Humans tend to find two different types of mercury in our bodies. The first is Methylmercury, which is an organic form of mercury. It is the most common form of mercury in fish and is present in some types of fish at concentrations. The second kind is mercury which tends to be found in dental amalgam fillings. They are often used to fill cavities and are known to release a small amount of mercury vapor. Amalgam can also release small amounts of mercury vapor during chewing. Both types of mercury have the potential to impair human health. Glutathione is an antioxidant produced in cells, mainly in the liver. It's comprised largely of three amino acids: glutamine, glycine, and cysteine. Glutathione levels in the body tend to reduce over time due to aging but can also be due to poor nutrition, environmental toxins, and stress. When your body is dealing with a high level of mercury toxicity, these glutathione levels decrease. This causes a domino effect of biological processes to kick off, predominantly telomeres shortening and cell senescence. Mercury toxicity is causing you to age prematurely. When high levels of mercury are found in the body, this causes your body to release oxidative stress, which may stimulate the senescent cell cycle. If you can regenerate the high antioxidant production in the body, you can reverse this process and prevent the further production of senescent cells. You can achieve this by boosting your glutathione levels.

S1 Ep 55Jodi Duval: Key Skincare Ingredients, Skin Trauma, and The Self-Care Link
Welcome to another episode of the Biohacking Beauty podcast brought to you by Young Goose Skincare! In this episode, host Amitay Eshel, the CEO of Young Goose, is joined and interviewed by Jodi Duval–which originally aired on the the Revital Health Podcast. The two discuss how you can optimize how your skin behaves by providing it with the right building blocks for your skin to function well and not only appear younger but behave younger.Jodi Duval is the Head Naturopath and owner of Revital Health. She is also the CEO of HomeHope Australia, host of the Revital Health Podcast, and lecturer at Endeavour College.What we discuss:01:10: How did Young Goose start?09:40: What’s the science and difference behind quality skincare products?21:26: Which key ingredients do Young Goose products contain?30:50: What are indications of the skincare working?33:17: What is Amitay’s perspective of peptides?45:10: What is skin trauma?58:03: What are the possible harms of skincare?1:08:14: What can you do to optimize your skin?1:23:34: How can you support your skin’s health from an internal perspective?Key Takeaways:Resveratrol is a naturally-occurring compound present in grapes, some berries, and other fruits and nuts. This plant compound acts as an antioxidant. But what people don’t know is that when applied to the skin, we don’t benefit from the resveratrol itself, but from the defense mechanism of the plant compound. It acts as an antioxidant and thus can protect cells against oxidative damage of free radicals and UV radiation on the skin by reducing the expression of AP-1 and NF-kB factors. It also slows down the process of photoaging the skin. Glycation is a process that is caused by the presence of excess glucose in skin fibers. This excess triggers an internal reaction in which sugar molecules adhere to the collagen and elastin proteins, which normally help keep skin firm and supple. As a direct result of glycation, our skin becomes more rigid which may increase the appearance of concerns such as puffiness, loss of elasticity, wrinkles, and fine lines.Both mineral and chemical sunscreen technically do the job, they aren’t made equally! Mineral sunscreens allow your skin to detoxify itself in a way that chemical sunscreen does NOT. With this process being crucial for your body’s detoxification process, you can’t afford to go the chemical sunscreen route.Skin trauma is the process in which the skin shows the appearance of past emotional traumas. Whether they are from repressed emotions or the expression of many negative emotions over time, these tend to manifest in the skin through different types of fine lines and wrinkles on one’s skin.

S1 Ep 54Robin Switzer: Finding Your Community, Improving Your Baseline, and KetoCon 2023
Welcome to another episode of the Biohacking Beauty podcast brought to you by Young Goose Skincare! In this episode, host Amitay Eshel, the CEO of Young Goose, is joined by Robin Switzer.Robin Switzer has built KetoCon into one of the most highly regarded health conferences in the U.S. It takes place in Austin, Texas, every year. The event typically hosts thousands of vendors, brands, speakers, influencers, and participants over three days to engage with other health-conscious peopleKey Takeaways:Most Americans have a serious problem with mastering delayed gratification as we live in the age of instant gratification and on-demand dopamine-producing activities. But what’s important to remember is that everything you are feeling, whether you feel energized or tired, is a result of all the micro-decisions you made in the past years. If you’re not happy with the result of those micro-decisions, you can still turn them around. It all starts with acquiring the knowledge on how to do that, first.Being able to identify yourself within a community may be one of the ultimate hacks for improving your lifespan. The reason why is that when you become part of a community that is congruent with the lifestyle you want for yourself, it significantly reduces the amount of brainpower it takes for you to make a decision. This is because as humans, we naturally compare ourselves to those around us and if we strategically place ourselves around the people we want to be like and whose beliefs and values align with ours - we will naturally take the same decisions. Most of us think of health or being healthy as being able to live as long as possible. We consider living another 40 years in pain as a better alternative to living another healthy 30 years. But the truth is that health is NOT simply living as long as possible. Health is about living well. What we discuss:04:35: How did Robin decide to produce KetoCon?09:34: What did Robin see in this business?21:27: What is exciting about this year at KetoCon?28:57: What is the structure of the conference?35:00: How should guests approach the conference?39:34: Should you purchase a VIP pass?44:15: Should you stay in Austin?48:12: Where to learn more about KetoCon?To learn more about Robin Switzer + KetoCon:Use code YOUNGGOOSE50 to get tickets at https://www.ketocon.org/ketocon-2023/Instagram: @ketoconTo learn more about Young Goose:Website: https://www.younggoose.com/Instagram: @young_goose_skincareGet 20% off your first purchase by using code PODCAST20 at www.younggoose.com
