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 Dr. Keira Barr Azadi.Dr. Keira Barr is a dual board-certified dermatologist and menopause specialist who knows all too well what it feels like to feel uncomfortable in her skin. Her approach combines science with soul, beginning with bioidentical hormones, cutting out what doesn’t belong in your life, and making room for what sets your soul on fire. Key Takeaways:Most of us think it is our brains that absorb most of the physical impact of stress. While that is true, there is a second area that is highly responsive to stress: your skin. As your body produces high levels of cortisol your skin develops different inflammatory skin conditions such as acne, eczema, rosacea, and more. Hence the importance of learning how to manage stress levels to effectively control these inflammatory skin conditions.Women who are under a lot of stress tend to experience premature aging of the skin. This happens because cortisol breaks down the collagen and elastin in your skin, which are both essential to keeping a youthful skin appearance. Thus, getting your stress levels in control to lower your cortisol production will benefit you not only from an overall health perspective as you balance out your hormones, but will also allow you to prevent premature aging of the skin.Skincare is not just a beauty product category; it’s a lifestyle and a way to care for your skin. Taking care of your skin means investing your energy into ensuring all of the health pillars are taken care of. Whether it is your sleep quality, what you eat, how you manage your stress levels, the intentions you set for yourself daily, or how you physically touch your skin during your skincare routine, they all come together to make up skin care. What we discuss:00:33: About Dr. Keira Barr02:47: How can stress manifest itself in your skin and overall health?9:02: What was Dr. Barr’s journey like?16:05: What is the relationship between stress, cortisol levels, and aging?18:44: How do we stop the stress cycle?23:20: How do you keep stress low as a high-performer?33:42: What are Dr. Keira Barr’s non-negotiables for stress management?46:04: Learn more about Dr. Keira BarrTo 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.comFind more from Dr. Keira Barr:Website: https://drkeirabarr.com/about/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drkeirabarr/

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 Ben Azadi. Ben is the author of four best-selling books, Keto Flex, The Perfect Health Booklet, The Intermittent Fasting Cheat Sheet, and The Power of Sleep.

This is because by exposing your body to stress, it adapts itself to it in a way where it becomes stronger and more resilient over time.When it comes to achieving optimal health and longevity, the foundations are important because you need to have that strong foundation to build a strong house.What you think is what you attract — and the RAS is responsible for it.The reticular activating system (RAS) is a network of neurons located in the brain stem that project anteriorly to the hypothalamus to mediate behavior, as well as both posteriorly to the thalamus and directly to the cortex for activation of awake, desynchronized cortical EEG patterns.Because you could be purchasing the best supplements in the world and following the best exercise routines, but if your foundations are weak, that house of yours will fall apart.While it’s difficult to restrict your calories by eating less - and dangerous for your health if incorrectly done - there are some different techniques you can tap into to mimic those survival mechanisms that take place during caloric restriction. According to Ben, intermittent fasting is the best way as it has similar benefits without the drawbacks if you do it right.Fine more from Ben:Website: https://www.benazadi.com/Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-keto-kamp-podcast-with-ben-azadi/id1470779784Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thebenazadi/Find more from Young Goose:Website: https://www.younggoose.com/Instagram: @young_goose_skincareGet 20% off your first purchase by using code PODCAST20 at www.younggoose.com

Stem cells are at the center of cellular repair. When the natural production of such stem cells slows down at some point in our 30s, it’s only normal that we don’t feel as “young” as we used to. This is because our tissues are slowly losing their turnover abilities. After all, we have fewer stem cells being produced.The good news is that while the production of stem cells is a biological process, there are some protocols you may follow to maximize the production of stem cells.Tune into this episode of the Biohacking Beauty podcast with guest Cristian Drapeau to learn more about these stem cell protocols. Over the past fifteen years, Christian Drapeau has developed several globally recognized nutraceutical stem cell and wellness products and is continuing his botanical research and development effort on supporting the various aspects of the body’s regenerative process. Currently, Christian is working on a second book describing the link between the number of circulating stem cells and disease formation, namely that people with fewer stem cells are at greater risk for developing age-related degenerative diseases, and that a deficiency in stem cell-based day-to-day endogenous repair is the main underlying cause of disease formation. This work puts stem cells at the core of antiaging medicine, explaining how a daily increase in the number of circulating stem cells can be one of the best antiaging strategies in order to maintain vibrant health, as we age.   Christian is a frequent speaker at Stem Cell Conferences as well as business events worldwide, and has lectured on the physiology of stem cells at various reputable hospitals and universities. He has also been a featured Mensa national event speaker.Find more from Christian:Website: https://christiandrapeau.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/stemcellchristian/Find more from Young Goose:Website: https://www.younggoose.com/Instagram: @young_goose_skincareGet 20% off your first purchase by using code PODCAST20 at www.younggoose.com

If you’re serious about supporting your cardiovascular health, you most likely fit in a cardio workout every day. But there is an alternative out there that is a lot easier (and relaxing): using the sauna. When you use the sauna directly after a workout, you’re essentially engaging in “passive cardio” as it has been studied to influence cardiovascular markers the same way that any other cardio workout would.
