Hack My Age

It is an honor to welcome a true trailblazer in the world of health and wellness to our podcast today – none other than JJ Virgin herself. She is one of the first voices I ever heard on a podcast. I can’t even remember how I found her, but it was somewhere around 2016 and I was looking for answers about fitness and nutrition for women over 40. And she was there to give the simple truth and put the science into words I could understand at the time, while also giving real practical advice to show me how to implement her tips that were the “little hinges that swing the big doors”. I am pretty sure you already know JJ, but if you don’t, listen up and start following her and her podcast now called “Well Beyond 40”, which has over 1000 episodes and over 17 million downloads. JJ Virgin is a triple-board certified nutrition and fitness expert. I would also add biohacker to that list. JJ is a passionate advocate of the healing power of nutrition, and she is on a mission to change the way the world sees aging and longevity. She has launched 3 multimillion-dollar businesses and founded the Mindshare Collaborative, which is the most influential professional community in health. She also launched more New York Times bestselling books, PBS specials, and 7 figure brands than any other community. JJ co-hosted the show Freaky Eaters and was the nutrition expert for Dr. Phil’s Weight Loss Challenges. She’s also been on Dr. Oz, Rachael Ray, Access Hollywood, and The TODAY Show. She’s an international speaker and has shared the stage with the biggest of the big like Tony Robbins, Gary Vaynerchuk and Dr. Mark Hyman. You’ll want to surely pick up her NY Times bestsellers like the Virgin Diet, The Virgin Diet Cookbook, JJ Virgin’s Sugar Impact Diet, and JJ Virgin’s Sugar Impact Diet Cookbook. She also has an amazing book called the Miracle Mindset, which shares the powerful lessons in strength and positivity that she learned after her 16 year old son Grant was the victim of a brutal hit-and-run accident and nearly died.

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.

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.

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.

What are the top questions women are Googling about menopause? In this episode, I’m breaking down the six most searched questions about menopause and sharing the science, the myths, and the practical solutions that actually help. Because menopause isn’t just something you type into a search bar, it’s something you live through and you deserve more than generic answers. We cover: The very first signs and symptoms women notice when menopause begins The average age menopause starts and what influences it The most common (and surprising) symptoms no one tells you about How long menopause actually lasts and why the answer isn’t simple Hormone therapy: is it safe, who should consider it, and what the research says   Blog article: https://hackmyage.com/most-common-and-uncommon-menopause-symptoms/ Podcast Uncommon Symptoms and Perimenopause Stages: https://youtu.be/o7UZcD79rN8?si=by8XD7rU4sHJ0V-J   Give thanks to our sponsors: Try Vitali skincare. 20% off with code ZORA here  Get Primeadine spermidine by Oxford Healthspan. 15% discount with code ZORA ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Is NAD really the fountain of youth, or just another overhyped supplement trend? From energy boosts to wrinkle reduction, the excitement is everywhere, but the truth is a lot more complex. In this episode, I sit down with biomedical engineer Courtney Van Bussum to cut through the noise. Courtney brings deep expertise in cellular and longevity science,, giving her a unique perspective on both the research and the real-world clinical applications. We cover: What NAD actually is and why it’s essential for energy, longevity, and healthy aging. How to know if your NAD levels are low and whether it even matters. The biggest myths and misconceptions about NAD supplements. NAD changes in pre- versus post-menopause. Why precursors like NR and NMN may backfire if deeper pathways aren’t addressed. Free and low-cost ways to preserve and recycle NAD naturally. What you need to know about the molecule 1-MNA (and why it may be more important than NAD itself). Courtney Van Bussum is the COO and co-founder of Longevity Launch Labs, an innovation incubator accelerating breakthrough products and companies in cellular and longevity medicine. With a background in biomedical engineering and early experience as a strategy consultant working with both Fortune 500s and startups, Courtney brings a rare blend of scientific insight and operational execution. Before launching Longevity Launch Labs, she helped modernize operations at the Boulder Longevity Institute—one of the country’s leading functional and regenerative medicine clinics. Courtney’s mission is to help build parallel systems that make healthcare smarter, more proactive, and more personal—especially in the rapidly evolving world of cellular health.

Are you feeling confused about fasting, weight loss peptides, and nutrition, especially since most of the research seems to be on sedentary people who look nothing like you? If you’re an active woman trying to figure out whether these trends and studies actually apply to you, this episode is for you. I’m joined by nurse practitioner Cynthia Thurlow, and together we unpack what the science really says and what it means for women like us. We cover: What metabolic health really means Whether fasting is the magic bullet, or a minefield, for active women The one experiment you absolutely should try for yourself What it means to “microdose” weight loss peptides Cynthia Thurlow is a nurse practitioner, with over 25 years of experience in the world of health and wellness.

What does HRT mean and how do I choose the formula that’s right for me? In this solo episode, I’m unpacking one of the most confusing parts of hormone therapy: the different delivery methods. From patches to pills to creams, I’ll walk you through what’s bioidentical, what isn’t, and what you really need to know to make informed choices. We cover: Why the WHI study scared a generation of women and what it really showed The difference between FDA- and EMA-approved, compounded, bioidentical, and synthetic hormones The 3 types of natural estrogen (E1, E2, E3) and how they’re used in therapy Oral estrogen and progesterone: pros, cons, and brand examples Transdermal patches, gels, creams, and sprays and which women like the most Cost and access: NHS, FDA, EMA, compounded, and private prescriptions By the end, you’ll have a clear picture of the safest and most effective delivery methods, so you can feel confident talking to your doctor about what’s right for you.
