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.

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

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 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
