Modern motherhood can make "detox" feel like the answer—especially when you're exhausted and convinced you just need the right protocol to get your body back.

Lauren Berlingeri, co-CEO and co-founder of HigherDOSE (code: BRITTANY15), opens up about the hidden cost of doing "everything right" – running a fast-growing wellness brand, raising twins, optimizing fertility – and still ending up pre-diabetic and deeply burnt out. We explore what happens when you stop chasing perfect biohacking metrics and build intuitive longevity rooted in nature, nervous system care, and the season of womanhood you are in, from postpartum vaginal rejuvenation tech to trading Botox for facial acupuncture and massage. This episode matters for women's long-term vitality because Lauren shows, in real time, how choosing environment, community, and self-compassion over hustle lets your health strategy evolve with your hormones, body, and life.

In this solo episode, I unpack the retreat in the Florida Keys that quietly rewired everything for me – my health, my business, and how I'm designing the Costa Rica women's health retreat and my new private community. I share what actually created the transformation (hint: it wasn't more biohacks), what every woman at the retreat admitted she was struggling with, and why I now believe women's longevity is built on nervous system peace, intuition, and softness more than data, metrics, or another stack of supplements. Listen if you want a calmer, more intuitive path to women's longevity that honors your nervous system, your season of life, and the reality of being a modern woman and (for many of us) a mother. I TALK ABOUT: 00:30 - Why this retreat changed how I see women's longevity and my own business evolution 02:30 - How focused retreat containers create exponential growth in just a few days 03:45 - The moment my nervous system finally softened after years of pregnancy and postpartum intensity 06:00 - What women actually confessed they're feeling: Overwhelm, survival mode, and nervous system overload 09:00 - Why this will be my only Costa Rica retreat and what makes it an inaugural, one-time event 11:00 - Connecting specific women's health struggles to life, relationships, and unspoken emotional blocks 16:15 - The women's longevity community I'm launching and how intuitive longevity changes the biohacking conversation 18:30 - How I'm evolving the women's longevity space and why Costa Rica is the birthplace of this movement SPONSORS: Join me in Costa Rica for Optimize Her, a 5-night luxury women's retreat in Costa Rica with yoga, healing rituals, and biohacking workshops—only 12 spots available.

What if your "tight shoulders," stubborn belly, or tech neck are not random… but compressed fascia quietly starving your cells of oxygen and storing old trauma? Certified Athletic Therapist and Block Therapy founder Deanna Hansen joins me to unpack fascia as the missing link between pain, posture, trauma, and how we age over time. We talk about what fascia actually is, why compressed tissue starves your cells of oxygen, and how simple breath and block based practices can change your body shape, pain, and nervous system at any age.

AI isn't just writing your emails anymore—it's reading your hormones and mapping your risk.

We also get real about supplements, bad actors in wellness, and what actually matters if you want to stay strong and functional at 80+.
