Biohack-it

I have waited two and a half years to bring you this conversation. Today, I am joined by the world-renowned OBGYN and women’s health expert, Dr. Jessica Shepherd from HERS.

We live in a culture that promises "salvation" through a single shot, a specific pill, or one hormone replacement. But as Dr. Shepherd reveals, the truth about total body optimization is far more complex. This episode is an urgent call for women to reclaim sovereignty over their own bodies and nervous systems.

In this masterclass, we discuss:

The HRT Lie: Why an entire generation of women was taught to fear hormones and the devastating impact of that misinformation.

The GLP-1 Reality: Why your health transformation requires more than just a shot to reach the "best version of you".

Total Body Levers: The specific, alternative points of view on medicine that allow you to optimize your health from a cellular level.

Personal Expansion: How to bridge the gap between "getting by" and achieving true longevity.

If you feel like you’ve been looking for answers in all the wrong places, this conversation will give you the tools to finally pull the right levers for your health.

I've been using Branch Basics for five years. It changed my health before I even fully understood why.

In this episode I sit down with Allison Love, co-founder of Branch Basics, to break down something most people never think about: the toxic load hiding in your cleaning products, laundry detergent, personal care items and yes, the air inside your own home. We talk about how Allison's co-founder reversed her PCOS not through medication but by changing what she was washing her clothes with. We talk about Marylee, their mentor, whose son went from a healthy, coordinated child to barely being able to lift his head off a pillow after pesticide exposure, and how stripping their home one product at a time brought him back.

We also get into why the word "natural" on a label means nothing, how fragrance hides hundreds of toxic chemicals in a single word, why your sanitizers and disinfectants may actually be making you more vulnerable to getting sick, and what the word "fragrance" is legally allowed to conceal.

I share my own story too. Ovarian cysts since 15. One ovary reconstructed. Migraines. Inflammation. And how switching my environment, not just my diet, changed everything.
If you have kids, pets, or a body, this episode is for you.

What does it actually take to walk away from a successful career and build something that genuinely fulfills you?

Erika De Pellegrin did exactly that. Corporate lawyer in Australia. New continent. New career. New baby. All of it — on her own terms.

We talked about the moment she realized her job title wasn't her identity, why who you marry is the most important decision you'll make, how she balanced motherhood with building a podcast that blew up, and why women evolve in ways most people never fully account for.

This one is for every woman who has ever asked herself: is this it?

I have been obsessed with frequency medicine since last year, but after sitting down with Henry and Laura from Soaak Technologies, I realized we are only scratching the surface of what’s possible. This isn't "woo-woo"—this is clinical-grade technology currently being used by the U.S. Air Force to optimize pilot performance and mission readiness.

In this episode, we dive into the science of Sympathetic Resonance and how sound frequency compositions can literally turn your "square tires" into round ones. Henry and Laura share the incredible journey of taking these modalities from a high-end clinic in Oklahoma to a global app that is now changing lives in 190 countries.

I’ve always been fascinated by the strength of Saudi women, but my conversation with Nada Baeshen went deeper than I ever expected. In this episode of Biohack It, we’re pulling back the curtain on what marriage, divorce, and financial independence really look like in the Middle East—and I’m sharing a massive personal update about my own life.Nada, one of the biggest TV presenters in the Kingdom, opens up about why she preaches financial freedom as the only way for women to truly "take their power back." We discuss the cultural pressure to get married, the fear of "being old" at 32, and the heartbreaking reason she shifted her entire life toward wellness after her father’s dementia diagnosis.Plus, I’m being completely transparent with you guys for the first time: I am going through a conscious uncoupling at 42. We dive into why choosing yourself is sometimes the hardest—and healthiest—biohack you can perform. If you’ve ever felt stuck in a relationship or a career that no longer aligns with your frequency, this masterclass on resilience and starting over is for you.
