Biohacking Beauty: The Anti-Aging Skincare Podcast

• The Silent Killer Inside Your Cells (And How to Fight Back)

  Hey everyone, welcome back to Biohacking Beauty! Today, we’re exploring one of the most fundamental mechanisms of aging—telomeres. These nucleotide sequences at the ends of our chromosomes act as protective caps, preserving DNA integrity during cell division. However, each time a cell replicates, telomeres shorten, eventually leading to cellular senescence, dysfunction, or apoptosis.In this solo episode, I’m breaking down the molecular mechanisms behind telomere shortening, how factors like oxidative stress, inflammation, and metabolic dysfunction accelerate the process, and, most importantly, what we can do to slow or even reverse this decline.We’ll dive into the latest research on NAD metabolism, autophagy, telomerase activation, and epigenetic regulation, as well as practical interventions like targeted supplementation, lifestyle modifications, and advanced skincare strategies that support telomere stability.If you’re serious about cellular longevity, DNA repair, and optimizing your skin health at the deepest level, this episode is a must-listen.Let’s get into it!I Also Discuss:(01:33 - 02:15) What Are Telomeres and Why Do They Matter?(03:42 - 04:19) The Hidden Danger of Cellular Aging(08:48 - 09:12) Can You Actually Reverse Telomere Shortening?(12:45 - 13:27) Why Your Skin Shows Signs of Aging First(10:41 - 11:12) The Best Supplements to Protect Your DNALearn 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

• Dr. Stephanie Venn-Watson: The Essential Fat That Reverses Aging—Why No One’s Talking About It?

  Today, we’re diving into a discovery that could reshape how we think about aging—C15, a newly identified essential fatty acid that plays a crucial role in cellular resilience, inflammation control, and longevity.For decades, we’ve been told to avoid saturated fats, but what if that advice led to widespread nutritional deficiencies? Dr. Stephanie Venn-Watson, a veterinary epidemiologist and co-founder of Fatty15, uncovered C15’s role in strengthening cell membranes, reducing oxidative stress, and even influencing epigenetic aging—all from studying long-lived Navy dolphins.In this episode, we break down how C15 protects against cellular fragility, fights ferroptosis (a newly identified form of cell death), and why it’s critical for maintaining healthy skin and metabolic function. We’ll also explore why modern diets have nearly eliminated this nutrient—and what that means for your long-term health.Dr. Venn-Watson’s research spans over 100 peer-reviewed studies, leading to the first essential fatty acid discovery in nearly a century. Her work is redefining how we approach nutrition, longevity, and skin health at the molecular level.We Also Discuss:(00:01) Discovery of C15 Fatty Acid Benefits(08:37) Importance of C15 Fatty Acid(19:09) C15 Fatty Acid Impact on Health(36:11) Uncovering the Role of C15(45:10) The Case for C15 Fatty Acid(53:48) Optimal Absorption of C15 Fatty AcidLearn more about:Young 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_skincareStephanie and Fatty15Website: https://fatty15.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fatty15/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephanievennwatson/

• Stop Wasting Money! THIS Is Real Anti-Aging…

  For years, skincare has been about quick fixes, hydration, plumping, and surface-level treatments that make your skin look better but don’t actually reverse aging. But what if the future of skincare wasn’t about temporary effects, but about reprogramming your skin at the cellular level?In this episode of Biohacking Beauty, I take a deep dive into longevity skincare and the science behind true skin rejuvenation. We’re going beyond the outdated skincare model and breaking down the Skin Longevity Matrix, a biohacking approach designed to restore youthful function from within.I cover why NAD+ is the "molecule of life" and a critical driver of skin repair, helping cells recover from oxidative stress and damage. We’ll explore how spermidine activates autophagy, the body’s natural detox system, to clear out aging cells and renew skin from the inside out. I’ll also explain the essential role of copper peptides in collagen remodeling and why they’re key for structural skin regeneration. Plus, we’ll dive into the problem with traditional vitamin C and why advanced forms like MAP and THDA provide superior antioxidant protection without causing oxidative stress. Finally, I’ll break down how eliminating senescent “zombie cells” can dramatically slow down aging and prevent chronic inflammation in the skin.This is the next frontier of skincare—science-backed, longevity-focused, and designed to make your skin act younger, not just look younger. If you’re ready to upgrade your skincare routine with the latest breakthroughs in anti-aging science, this episode is for you! I Also Discuss:(00:02) Biohacking Beauty(05:18) Why NAD+ Is the Foundation of Youthful Skin(12:56) How Spermidine Supercharges Skin Detox & Renewal(19:09) Revitalizing Skin With Key Skincare Molecules(27:41) The Truth About Vitamin C in Skincare(32:23) How to Eliminate Senescent “Zombie” Cells for Younger SkinLearn 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
