72. A New Kind of Plastic Surgery, Aging Skin Prevention & Simple Skincare - Dr. Amir Karam

If you're on Instagram and you were born in the 70s you probably already know and need Dr. Amir Karam. He's got over 200,000 followers on Instagram, so I am sure he's popping up somewhere on your feed talking about skincare and plastic surgery. That's where I found him. He's also got an amazing YouTube account and believe it or not, sharing lots of stuff on Tik Tok too. Dr. Karam is one of those rare practicing doctors who actually makes the time to reach out to us on social media. He is a Board Certified Facial Plastic Surgeon with almost 15 years of experience. Actually, he's double board certified by both the American Board of Facial Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and the American Board of Otolaryngology – that means head and neck surgery. He has literally devoted his life to mastering facial plastic surgery and perfecting an amazing facial rejuvenation procedure that we talk about in this episode. If you're in the US, you may know Dr. Karam as one of the top surgeons in the country. He established the Carmel Valley Facial Plastic Surgery and Aesthetic Center in San Diego in 2008 where he does advanced techniques in facial rejuvenation and rhinoplasty (that's a nose job). He's different because you know what you're getting. A natural, safe and predictable result. I repeat, natural. He's so transparent and you can literally find everything about him on internet. Today we talk about our aging skin and face, skincare routines and how to make it super simple, but also I delved into finding more out more about his trademark rejuvenation procedure called Vertical Restore. He's done over 6,000 of these procedures, which target our saggy skin and the changes that we see in the shape of our face and neck when we hit our 40s and 50s. He's already published over 20 peer-reviewed research articles, over 25 surgical textbook chapters on facial plastic surgery, and has co-authored his own surgical textbook, Rejuvenation of the Aging Face. So, there is absolutely no doubt at all, that we are speaking to someone extremely qualified to talk about these topics. And as if that's not enough, Dr. Karam founded his own skincare line – KaramMD.

71. Hack Thinning Hair - Faraz Khan

Biohacker Faraz Khan has cracked the code on thinning hair and tells us how to regrow fuller thicker hair. Faraz Khan is a former computer scientist turned longevity educator, speaker and biohacker. He started this journey into longevity and anti-aging when he first saw his parents literally age before his eyes. Who hasn't seen this happen to their parents before? So Faraz went from helping large media, entertainment, pharma and life sciences companies to helping everyday people like you and me beat back some of the unwanted and unnecessary signs and symptoms of aging. He launched his podcast "Anti-Aging Hacks" in 2019, where he interviews the top minds in longevity, anti-aging and health. I originally found Faraz at The Anti-Aging Summit in December 2020 which he organized and hosted some of the top experts in health and longevity. It was super cool and featured some of my favorite doctors. Through all these amazing interviews, his personal research and experience Faraz delved further into why hair starts to thin and has armed himself with science-based tactics to not only grow better hair, but get a whole lot of confidence that goes with it.

70. Stop Night Waking, Sleep In Silence With Quieton - Janne Kyllonen

Our guest today will help you sleep better. He is passionate about getting a good night's sleep and is going to give us some great tips on how to do this. Janne Kyllonen is from Finland and knows a lot about sleep because he needed it so much while he was traveling across multiple time zones. One day while he was traveling to Beijing after an exhausting flight, he was at the airport and found a very interesting gadget. It was called Active Noise Cancelling headphones. He tried them on and noticed silence all around him in the middle of a massively busy airport. And he came up with an idea…that he could make them even better. So he came up with Quieton. I am so excited to talk about these noise canceling headphones first of all, because no one on the biohacking circuit has really discovered them yet…so remember, you heard it here first. And second of all, because I now no longer have these microawakenings when someone in my bed snores or a church bell rings at 2am. Absolute silence. I can't take all the credit for finding Quieton. It's my biohacking bestie Magdelana of Magdalena's Secrets on Instagram who posted about them. She was telling me what a miracle they were for her. Magdalena has no vested interest and nothing to sell. So I believed her. So now I put them to the test. And to be honest, even though the buds are microscopic I didn't like something in my ears. I go back to Magdalena for some explanations and she said to give it a few days and adjust the size. And she was right. It was perfect timing too because I happened to be in a new place, a new bed and a new city that had a church bell ringing every hour on the hour…and a neighbor who I could hear going up and down the stairs in the middle of the night. When I finally gave it another go, I had a really great nights sleep and just laughed when my husband complained of the church bell and neighbor again. I heard zero! So, enough raving about Quieton, I want to introduce Janne so we can talk about sleep in general, give you some tips and answer some questions about anything anyone puts inside their ears to find some silence.

69. Reversing Body Age, Bioidentical Hormones, Thyroid and Biological Age Testing - Dr. Lauren Bramley

Meet my personal anti aging doctor. I first learned about Dr. Lauren Bramley through my clients while I was living in Hong Kong in 2014. They all raved about her and loved her cutting edge take on their problems. Some of them had arthritis, others had autoimmune disease. They would show me their protocol and the supplements they were taking and I was impressed. I knew this was not your ordinary doctor. The only complaint they have is that she is so hard to see. She is always halfway between Canada and Hong Kong. She is always attending medical conferences, speaking at them, learning and continuing to educate herself to always bring the latest science to her patients. That's the trade off. So, my Hong Kong clients are always desperately waiting for her return. But now with telemedicine, we have new ways to stay in touch and she's going to share with us today how she is now working around those previous obstacles with a new program she calls The Better With Age Club. Dr Bramley is a Canadian trained and licensed medical doctor with a focus on functional and anti-aging medicine. She has a Master's Degree in Endocrinology, Diabetes and Metabolism. She has a huge toolbox of "toys" to help us actually get down to the root cause of a problem and fix it once and for all. She uses bioidentical hormones, genomics, nutraceuticals, peptides and lifestyle hacks. She is also really well known for her TedxTalk: "Know Your Numbers" where she talked about her philosophy of improving your health by empowering yourself. Knowing your data, interpreting it, understanding it and knowing how to apply it to your unique self. I remember when I first popped into Dr. Bramley's clinic in Central in Hong Kong, I was really blown away. It was the first time I saw an anti-aging clinic, but one solely dedicated to reversing aging…not just a side note or afterthought. It had everything I dreamed of having in medical care. She has an in-house laboratory directly on premise where she can get all her testing done accurately and quickly. It's amazing and it's been there for over 20 years.

68. The Multiorgasmic Woman, Discovering Full Pleasure, Desire & Vitality in Midlife - Dr. Rachel Carlton Abrams

Dr. Rachel Carlton Abrams busts myths about sexuality in midlife, because, she literally wrote the book on it…and she's a doctor, so it's all certified. Dr. Rachel studied at the famous Stanford University, graduated with honors, got her doctorate from UC San Francisco and even has a Masters Degree in Holistic Health from UC Berkeley. She is Board Certified in Family Medicine and Integrative Medicine. In 2008 she opened the Santa Cruz Integrative Medicine Clinic where she treats some of the world's most influential people, like big shot CEOs, billionaire entrepreneurs and Nobel Peace laureates. She's been voted as the "Best Doctor" in Santa Cruz County every year since 2009. And it looks like no one is even close to breaking that track record. As a gerontologist I respect that she's super dedicated to creating health equity and anti-racism in health care. Dr. Rachel is also an author. She wrote the books: Bodywise: Discovering Your Body's Intelligence for Lifelong Health and Healing Eight Dates: Essential Conversations for a Lifetime of Love, The Man's Guide to Women (she wrote this one with her husband) The Multi-Orgasmic Woman The Multi-Orgasmic Couple, and the audiobook Taoist Sexual Secrets. Dr. Rachel doesn't stop, because she loves teaching courses and over the last 20 years she also works as a consultant on holistic health for national magazines, radio and television, so you probably have run into her somehow somewhere before. Dr. Rachel is not only a practicing doctor, author, speaker and consultant, she's also been a board member of the AHMA (American Holistic Medical Association) and is now an active board member of the AIHM (Academy of Integrative Health and Medicine), where she works on anti-racism, health equity and inclusive membership.

66. The Peptide Longevity Program To Reverse Biological Age - Dr. Bill Lawrence (Part 2/2)

This is part two of a 3 hour podcast. To listen to part one, click here. Today we continue the conversation with Dr. Bill Lawrence who talks about his clinic trials on bioregulator peptides. If you don't know what a bioregulator is, you will once we get done and you will thank Dr. Lawrence for exposing this incredible molecule to you. Dr. Lawrence used to be a lawyer. He has a Law Degree from UCLA (my alma mater!). He is also a successful businessman who decided to turn his life, and perhaps fate, around with an interest in living longer and better…So, he ditched the business world and delved head first into science and the world of nutrition coming out with a Ph.D. in Nutrition. Since 1990 his focus has been on slowing and reversing human biological aging. Along the way, he has developed a lot of science-based optimal aging practices for health professionals and individual clients. Optimal aging is very different than "normal healthy aging" and we will explain what this means in the interview. Currently, Dr. Lawrence is the administrator of two clinical studies in collaboration with Dr Vladimir Khavinson of the Saint-Petersburg Institute of Bioregulation and Gerontology to see if human biological age can indeed be reversed. We learned all about Dr. Khavinson in my first episode on bioregulator peptides with pharmacologist Phil Micans, so I encourage you listen to that episode as well. By the way, Dr. Lawrence is chronologically 75, but his 'biological age,' based on telomere length is now 35. I invited Dr. Lawrence to share his first presentation on Telomerase Activation Protocol (TAP) and some of the results he is finding so far in the studies he started 4 years ago with two more years still to go. You can listen to that episode from November here.

64. Hack Autoimmune Disease With The Wahls Protocol - Dr. Terry Wahls

Today's guest is the amazing Dr. Terry Wahls. I became a big fan of Dr. Wahls ever since I first heard her speak on the very first TED talk I ever listened to about 10 years ago on her journey into multiple sclerosis, which went totally viral and now has over 3 million views. Dr. Terry Wahls is an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner and a clinical professor of medicine at the University of Iowa where she now conducts groundbreaking clinical trials. In 2018 she was awarded the Institute for Functional Medicine's Linus Pauling Award for her contributions in research, clinical care and patient advocacy. What makes her truly unique in her practice is that she is also a patient with secondary progressive multiple sclerosis, which originally confined her to a tilt-recline wheelchair for four years. That's a pretty darn long time. But still lightyears shorter than most anyone else who is diagnosed with MS who may be relegated to a wheelchair for the rest of their life and ultimately bedridden as the disease progresses. Dr. Wahls' personal story is unbelievably inspirational, because she restored her health using a diet and lifestyle program that she designed specifically for her brain and now rides her bike to work every day. She is the author of The Wahls Protocol: A Radical New Way to Treat All Chronic Autoimmune Conditions Using Paleo Principles, and the cookbook, The Wahls Protocol Cooking for Life. This is a protocol that she has been using with her patients in her clinical practice improving the quality of life for 1000s of patients living with MS. She is not messing around with pseudoscience either. She conducts her own research now and has published over 60, that's a 6 – 0 peer-reviewed scientific abstracts and papers. If you cant wait to learn more about her MS clinical trials you can head over to https://wahls.lab.uiowa.edu/ Pick up a FREE one-page handout for the Wahls™ Diet at https://terrywahls.com/diet/ Join The Virtual Wahls Protocol® Seminar in 2022 and learn research-backed wellness information and practice the skills that will empower you to navigate your autoimmune or chronic disease. 4-Part Virtual Event Series over ZOOM.
