Biohacking Beauty: The Anti-Aging Skincare Podcast

• The Hidden Science of Skin Aging (And How to Reverse It)

  For years, skincare has focused on surface-level solutions, moisturizers, retinol, collagen creams… but what if we told you that true skin rejuvenation starts at the cellular level? Traditional skincare is designed to mask aging, but new research in longevity science reveals that the root causes of aging go much deeper.In this episode of Biohacking Beauty, I break down the real drivers of skin aging, from mitochondrial dysfunction and NAD decline to epigenetic shifts, senescent cells, and impaired autophagy. I also discuss why most anti-aging products don’t actually reverse aging, and how cutting-edge biohacking ingredients like NAD+, spermidine, copper peptides, and advanced vitamin C are changing the game.This is the future of skincare, moving beyond temporary fixes and truly reprogramming skin cells for longevity. If you’ve ever wondered why your skin isn’t responding to traditional skincare, or how you can actually slow down and even reverse the aging process, this episode is for you!I Also Discuss:(00:01) The Science of Ageless Skin(04:54) Your Mitochondria Are Aging Your Face(12:21) Can You Actually Reverse Skin Aging?(17:21) The Truth About Skincare LiesLearn More AboutYoung GooseUse code PODCAST10 to get 10% off your first purchase, and if you’re a returning customer use the code PODCAST5 to get 5% off at https://www.younggoose.com/ Instagram: @young_goose_skincare

• Hannah Went: Your Skincare Routine Won’t Fix THIS Aging Problem

  Welcome back to Biohacking Beauty! Today, we’re diving into the cutting-edge science of biological vs. chronological aging and how epigenetic testing is revolutionizing the way we understand skin longevity. Aging isn’t just about the number of birthdays you’ve had—it’s about how your cells are aging at the molecular level. And now, thanks to advancements in epigenetics and AI-driven diagnostics, we can measure and even influence that process.In this episode, I sit down with Hannah Went, an expert in biological age testing and the Director of Operations at TruDiagnostic, a leading epigenetics company. We explore how biological aging manifests in the skin, why epigenetic markers are more predictive of health than genetics, and how personalized interventions can actually slow or even reverse aging at the cellular level.Hannah also shares groundbreaking research on how lifestyle choices, like diet, sleep, and even skincare, can alter gene expression and influence the rate at which we age. Plus, we discuss how advanced testing methods can provide real-time feedback on how well anti-aging interventions are actually working.
