(9:30) Procedures are assaults on the body and can tax the endocrine system and gut health. (12:58) The long-term cost of lasers, IPLs, and peels. (14:00) The mechanical and chemical risks of penetration procedures.  (21:46) Radio frequency and the wrong kind of microneedling create structural changes that are irreversible.  (25:05) When we completely penetrate the skin barrier, it can’t do it’s job (it creates leaky skin).  (46:35) How to properly prepare your skin for an asthetic procedure so that you recover well.  (50:19) The molecule spermadine and it’s ability to reverse aging at a cellular level.  (55:05) New topical applications of compounds that can reverse the 12 signs of aging. (1:08:50) New Young Goose serums that penetrate deeply into the skin for maximum results. (1:18:00) Where to find Young Goose products and more.    Key Takeaways:   Major cosmetic procedures can cause significant body dysmorphia. It shifts what is aesthetically pleasing so that the patient is never truly pleased or done changing. The idea that you can get plastic surgery simply for aesthetic reasons started in the 80s with two surgeons who were also artists. This episode discusses our human differences and the fact that you cannot make broad changes without disrupting true beauty. Major cosmetic changes can affect your endocrine system, gut health, and more - they’re assaults on the body.  The cost of peels and penetration of the skin is higher than you might think. The risks are mechanical or chemical. We dive into the reasons to avoid mechanical risks at all costs. Radio frequency treatments cause inflammation which shows up as short-term progress as plump skin. But long term, you’re just creating more scar tissue. It causes functional changes and damage that sticks around. Microneedling is a great procedure if you are getting “stamped” not “rolled.” Before getting any type of procedure, make sure to have the correct recovery pathway, like having sunblock at home to help protect the skin barrier.  Spermadine (a polyamine) can affect all 12+ hallmarks of aging. Spermidine is a magical molecule that mimics a signal for recycling and reinvesting of energy for repair and resilience.  It’s an incredible reset button we can push. A topical compound that includes spermidine works to make your skin functionally younger (even if it’s not biologically younger).

Did you know that stress may be causing lymphatic congestion? In this episode of the Biohacking Superhuman Performance podcast, we chat with Desiree De Spong about how scars, often mere afterthoughts, can profoundly influence our physical and emotional well-being. Desiree illuminates the importance of the lymphatic system, not just as an aspect of our immune defense but as a pillar of overall health, and shares transformative approaches to therapy that include the use of innovative tools like a vibrating ball for perineal rehabilitation. Desiree sheds light on the lymph system's role, functioning without a central pump and instead relying on muscle movement and breath—elements within our control. She explains the connection between stress and lymphatic congestion, and how embracing calm through technology can offer not just a respite for the mind but also bolster immune function. Desiree De Spong, a visionary leader and the Founder and CEO of Medella Health in New Zealand, stands at the forefront of lymphatic therapy with nearly two decades of unwavering clinical expertise.

Lymph nodes are the immune system's powerhouses, hosting B cells and T cells essential for fighting infections and other foreign bodies. Thus, the importance of detoxification and how a compromised lymphatic system can lead to a buildup of waste, potentially causing health issues and a weakened immune response.  It is difficult to achieve a state of calm due to the autonomic nature of the nervous system and the cumulative effect of stress. However, there are various technologies and substances, from wearable devices to psilocybin and CBD, that may be utilized to hack the nervous system and promote vagal nerve tone, signaling safety to the brain and encouraging a parasympathetic state.  Given that we don’t have a central pump, muscle movement, breathing, and relaxation are all important for promoting lymph flow. If we fail to do so, due to the relationship between the parasympathetic nervous system and lymphatic function, we can inhibit drainage.

Would you apply secretion from a frog’s skin on your own skin if it improved your mental health? In this episode of the Biohacking Superhuman Performance podcast, we're joined by Caitlin Thompson as she shares her personal transition to Kambo practitioner, revealing a profound chapter in her life where the battle with chronic illness steered her toward the unexpected healing powers of this traditional ritual. Her tale is one of resilience, bridging the gap between rigorous scientific analysis and the depths of spiritual practice. Caitlin helps us to understand the nuances of a Kambo ceremony, from its rigorous participant screening to its diverse after-effects. With a neurobiologist's precision and a healer's intuition, she illustrates the importance of respecting the body's response to the frog secretion and the profound emotional release it can catalyze. Her insights into the symbiotic relationship between Kambo, ayahuasca, and other plant medicines reveal a broader, integrative approach to emotional healing and chronic conditions. Finally, Caitlin sheds light on the exciting research surrounding Kambo's potential in mental health and chronic pain management.  Caitlin’s background is in neurobiology, with emphasis in mood disorders and autoimmune conditions. In pursuit of her own health, Caitlin has studied nutritional neuroscience and helps people conquer their chronic health struggles, autoimmune and psychiatric conditions through diet, nutraceuticals and other healing modalities (such as Kambo).  Caitlin is also an independent scientific researcher and is currently conducting the first human kambo research in the field. Her past research has focused on psychedelic treatments for autoimmune conditions. https://kambospecialist.comhttps://medicinefrogkambo.com https://kambofinder.com Caitlin also offers practitioner training courses - if you mention this podcast, you will save $100.   Thank you to our sponsors for making this episode possible:   Carol Bike: Visit carolbike.com and use promo code NAT for $100 off.                                                                 BodyBio: Visit BodyBio.com today and get 15% on your first order with code Nathalie                                                                 Neurohacker Collective: Visit neurohacker.com/nathalie and use code NATHALIE                                                                   Find more from Nathalie: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmholC48MqRC50UffIZOMOQ Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/biohackingsuperhumanperformance Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nathalieniddam/ Website: NatNiddam.com Join Nat’s Membership Community: https://www.natniddam.com/bsp-community Work with Nat: Book Your 20 Minute Optimization Consult: https://calendly.com/nniddam/intro-call?month=2021-08   Find more from Caitlin: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/medicinefrogkambo/  Website: https://medicinefrogkambo.com/    What we discuss:   (00:02) - Exploring the Benefits of Kambo Therapy (10:07) - Indigenous Use and Ceremonial Adaptations (16:55) - Effects of Kambo and Ayahuasca (27:33) - Ayahuasca and Kambo Therapy Benefits (38:20) - Kambo for Depression, Anxiety, Chronic Pain (47:32) - Choose Safe, Reliable Kambo Practitioner (57:41) - Researching Medicine Frog for Knowledge Key takeaways:   Kambo is a traditional Amazonian healing ritual that involves the use of the secretion from the skin of the giant monkey frog (Phyllomedusa bicolor). The frog's secretion contains a potent combination of bioactive peptides, including dermorphin and deltorphin, which have powerful physiological effects. The ceremony typically involves a trained practitioner applying small burns or superficial wounds to the skin and then applying the kambo secretion to these points. The peptides in the secretion are believed to enter the bloodstream and induce various effects on the body. The benefits of Kambo therapy include detoxification, increased energy, improved mood, and enhanced physical and mental well-being. It also has spiritual and emotional cleansing properties. It is important to select a well-trained and knowledgeable Kambo practitioner due to the powerful nature of the therapy. The individuality of each participant's experience and the importance of respecting their unique physiological and emotional responses during and after the therapy are important factors to consider. All in all, healing through Kambo is not a one-size-fits-all process but rather should be tailored to each individual's needs and circumstances.
