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, covers everything you need to know about collagen, including how collagen changes as we age and what we can do to boost its production in order to maintain skin health. We also dive into some of the lifestyle choices that can impact collagen production, and what collagen-boosting products you can incorporate into your skincare regimen.Collagen is the most abundant protein in our bodies, providing structure and strength to our skin, bones, tendons, ligaments, and other areas. As we age, the production of collagen in our body decreases, which leads to changes in the quality and quantity of collagen in our tissues. Luckily, there are ways to help to support the production of collagen in our skin.What we discuss:[00:00] Understanding the science of collagen and its role in skin health.[03:13] Collagen is crucial for skin health and firmness[06:02] Factors that damage collagen can lead to premature skin aging[09:04] Boosting collagen production for healthy skin[11:47] A full regimen for collagen maintenance and boosting[14:18] Support skin health with proper nutrients, hydration, and sleep[16:46] Collagen supplements can improve skin elasticity and hydration.[19:22] Importance of understanding and setting realistic expectations when consuming collagen supplementsKey Takeaways:Environmental factors can have an impact on collagen production, leading to premature skin aging. Sunlight exposure can result in wrinkles and sun spots, while blue light causes oxidative stress and inflammation. Unhealthy diet, lack of exercise, high stress levels, and insufficient sleep also contribute to collagen degradation.Type 1 collagen is a crucial component when it comes to skin health. This type of collagen is the most abundant in the skin and provides structural support to the skin's tissues. It is important to incorporate Type 1 collagen in our skincare routine to maintain healthy and youthful-looking skin.Although collagen supplements can improve skin elasticity and hydration, it is important to understand and set realistic expectations when consuming collagen supplements. In addition to supplements, we can support collagen synthesis through diet, topical products, professional treatments, and lifestyle modifications.To 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.com

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, dives back into the world of NAD+, and discusses the science behind NAD+, its relationship with aging, and most importantly, how it can potentially transform your skincare routine.NAD+ has been gaining a lot of attention recently in the skincare industry because of its ability to reverse cellular damage caused by aging and environmental stressors. As we age, the level of NAD+ in our bodies decreases, which can result in a decline in the efficiency of our cells' functions. This decline affects our skin's ability to produce collagen and elastin, leading to the formation of wrinkles, fine lines, and sagging skin.Luckily, there are ways to boost NAD+ levels in the skin, and one of them is through skincare products that contain NAD+ precursors.What we discuss:[00:03:04] NAD+ is a crucial player in every person's body [00:06:57] Two things that happen as we grow older[00:09:21] Boosting NAD+ with supplements [00:13:21] Why are NAD+ precursors necessary? [00:16:22] Why your skin needs to be in repair mode [00:18:55] How do we incorporate NAD+ in skincare?[00:20:44] NAD+ is one of the most exciting molecules when it comes to longevity and anti-aging Key Takeaways:Simply using NAD+ in skincare products is not enough to reap its benefits because it cannot penetrate the skin barrier effectively. NAD+ precursors, on the other hand, are compounds that can increase the availability of NAD+ in the body by providing the building blocks to create it. NAD+ precursors such as nicotinamide riboside (NR) and nicotinamide mononucleotide (NMN) can help boost NAD+ levels in the skin.The skin requires adequate amounts of NAD+ to carry out efficient DNA repair and regulate cellular metabolism. NAD+ is also essential for the production of energy required for cell division, proliferation, and differentiation, which are critical for proper skin renewal.As we age, there is a rise in an enzyme called CD38. CD38 is an enzyme that is found on the surface of various cells in the body, and one of its main functions is to break down NAD+ into smaller components. When CD38 is produced at abnormally high levels, it can deplete cellular stores of NAD+, resulting in lower levels of NAD+ in the skin.To 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.com

Did you know environmental stressors play a significant role in skin aging? Over the past few decades, there has been a significant increase in environmental toxins that can negatively impact our health, including our skin health. These toxins can be found in the air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat, the lighting we use, and the electromagnetic waves we are exposed to. Luckily, making lifestyle changes can help reduce our exposure to environmental toxins.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 Rachel Varga to discuss how environmental stressors like blue light and EMFs can drive skin aging. We also dive into the various technologies that can be used for skin rejuvenation, and the different detoxification methods for removing heavy metals from the body.Rachel Varga is a double board-certified aesthetic nurse with over 10 years of experience working in aesthetic medicine and providing non-surgical rejuvenation treatments. Rachel is the host of a top 20 podcast, the Rachel Varga podcast, and an international clinical trainer for other physicians and nurses. She is also an award-winning author in the fields of regenerative and aesthetic nursing, as well as an executive board member and peer reviewer for the Plastic and Aesthetic Nursing Journal. Rachel is one of the first to combine functional techniques, biohacking, and modern medical aesthetics by teaching patients how to tune into what the skin is telling them about their internal health.What we discuss:[00:00] Environmental stressors drive skin aging[07:49] Blue light is harmful to the skin and eyes, and can contribute to aging and disease.[20:03] EMFs are a real threat to our physiology[26:10] EMF mitigation through clothing and turning off devices can improve sleep and overall health[38:48] Awareness of Morgellons disease and Lyme's disease is important for aesthetic practitioners[44:39] Detoxification methods using technology[56:26] Eating healthy and detoxing can improve body odor and overall health[1:02:07] The importance of beauty and biohacking for self-expression and social ability[1:14:08] Being able to emote is key for development and communication[1:19:55] Strategies to mitigate stress and slow aging[1:36:59] Protect yourself from blue light and use non-nano zinc oxide sunblockKey Takeaways:Oxidative stress is a state where there is an imbalance between the production of ROS and the body's ability to detoxify and repair the damage caused by them. When the skin is exposed to oxidative stress, it can lead to premature aging and wrinkles. Additionally, EMFs have been shown to impair blood flow and circulation, which can reduce the skin's ability to receive nutrients and oxygen.One of the most visible effects of blue light on the skin is hyperpigmentation. Blue light has been shown to stimulate the production of melanin, which is the pigment that gives skin its color. This can lead to dark spots on the skin, such as sun spots and age spots.Detoxification methods such as ionic foot baths, saunas, and binders can be effective in removing toxins and heavy metals from the body. These methods work by helping the body eliminate harmful substances that have accumulated in the tissues and organs.To 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.comTo learn more about Rachel Varga:https://rachelvarga.ca/Podcast: Rachel Varga PodcastTwitter: @rachelvargaofficial
