We have seen face taping explode across social media, yet very few people understand what real Japanese face taping actually does for the skin. Most viral videos show shortcuts or stickers that never interact with fascia, muscle tension, or lymphatic flow. In this episode, we explore the method behind true face taping and why the right tape, placement, and technique can support healthier aging at a biological level.In this episode of Biohacking Beauty, we sit down with Olga from Natural Face Bible to unpack how Japanese medical grade tape lifts the upper tissue layers, boosts blood flow, reduces stagnation, and encourages lymphatic drainage. Olga explains how this simple practice can soften dynamic wrinkles, support TMJ tension, and optimize circulation overnight. She also shares why technique matters, how anatomy guides proper placement, and why face taping pairs so well with facial massage, gua sha, and high quality skincare.We also dive into common mistakes, what to avoid for skin barrier safety, how to integrate face taping with or without injectables, and the reason this tool works best as part of a long term routine rather than a quick hack. This conversation gives clarity to a trend that has been misunderstood and reveals how consistent, correct taping can become a powerful addition to any longevity focused skincare approach.We Also Discuss:(00:00) Why Japanese Face Taping Works When Stickers Do Not(03:42) How Tape Lifts Fascia, Improves Flow, and Reduces Stagnation(07:15) Dynamic Wrinkles, Muscle Tension, and TMJ Support(11:28) Choosing the Correct Japanese Medical Grade Tape(15:04) Safe Application for Sensitive, Acne Prone, or Reactive Skin(19:10) How Taping Interacts with Facial Massage and Gua Sha(24:36) What to Avoid After Botox, Peels, or Microneedling(29:58) Techniques That Protect the Skin Barrier Long Term(33:21) Turning Face Taping into a Consistent Longevity HabitFind more from Young Goose:VAMPIRE EXOSOMES → Professional Exosome Serum for Regeneration and Post-Treatment Recovery → Vampire ExosomesUse code PODCAST10 to get 10% off your first purchase, and if you’re a returning customer use the code PODCAST5 to get 5% off at https://www.younggoose.com/    Instagram: @young_goose_skincareFind more from  Olga, Natural Face Bible:Website: thenaturalfaces.com Tik Tok: @naturalfacebible Instagram: naturalfacebible You Tube: @naturalfacebible

We’ve always said that healthy skin starts from within, but few people understand how deeply skin and longevity are connected. Every wrinkle, blemish, or loss of elasticity begins with inflammation and cellular stress that ripple throughout the body.In this episode, we sit down with world-renowned dermatologist Dr. Doris Day to explore how the skin doesn’t just reflect your health, it drives it. From managing inflammation to restoring collagen through sleep, nutrition, and resistance training, Dr. Day reveals why true skin longevity starts at the cellular level.We also discuss the rise of prejuvenation, the science behind Softwave and exosomes, and how new molecules like RLX201 (ReQ) are changing the way we approach aging. Dr. Day shares how to rethink fillers, balance hormones, and build skin health that lasts decades, not months.We Also Discuss:(00:00) Blending Dermatology, Health Optimization, and Longevity(04:38) How Skin Reflects and Affects Whole-Body Health(08:39) Stress, Cortisol, and the Skin-Brain Connection(10:17) The Truth About Sunscreen, Hormones, and Menopause(13:51) Real Prejuvenation and the Rise of Softwave(19:40) RLX201 (ReQ) and the Future of Skin Longevity(32:20) Inflammation, Oxidative Stress, and Aging Skin(37:56) Critical Thinking and the Future of Longevity Medicine(46:18) Fillers, Balance, and the Art of Subtle Enhancement(58:42) Longevity Habits for Better Skin and HealthFind more from Young Goose:Blue Peptide Spray: Cellular hydration meets antioxidant power → Blue Peptide SprayUse code PODCAST10 to get 10% off your first purchase, and if you’re a returning customer use the code PODCAST5 to get 5% off at https://www.younggoose.com/    Instagram: @young_goose_skincareFind more from  Dr. Doris DayWebsite: https://dorisdaymd.com Instagram: @drdorisday LinkedIn: Doris Day, MD  

We’ve always believed that data drives better health, but even we were surprised by how powerful hormone data can be. Hormones influence everything from how we age to how our skin repairs itself, yet most people only test them once a year, if at all.In this episode, we sit down with Fady and Marina from Eli Health to explore how real-time hormone testing is changing the way we understand health optimization. Their saliva-based technology tracks cortisol and progesterone with over 90 percent lab-comparable accuracy, while their AI-powered app translates results into actionable lifestyle insights.We also unpack how cortisol rhythm shapes energy, mood, and skin health, why “cortisol face” is real, and how frequent hormone tracking can help prevent stress-related aging before it appears on the skin. Fady and Marina, founders of Eli Health, are redefining hormone care with a science-driven, ethically designed platform that keeps data and decisions in your hands.We Also Discuss:(01:07) How At-Home Hormone Testing Works(02:28) The Accuracy of Real-Time Cortisol and Progesterone Testing(04:20) Understanding Your Diurnal Cortisol Curve(07:13) AI-Powered Lifestyle Recommendations for Stress and Sleep(10:52) Using Hormone Insights to Personalize Your Routine(14:52) Cortisol, Skin Health, and “Cortisol Face”(19:22) The Rise of Frequent Hormone Tracking (“Fitbit for Hormones”)(24:11) Testosterone and Estradiol: The Next Frontier(37:38) Timing Skincare Treatments to Your Hormone Cycle(41:33) Ethics, Privacy, and Data Ownership in Health Tech(47:52) The Future of Hormone Tracking and LongevityFind more from Young Goose:Blue Peptide Spray: Cellular hydration meets antioxidant power → Blue Peptide SprayUse code PODCAST10 to get 10% off your first purchase, and if you’re a returning customer use the code PODCAST5 to get 5% off at https://www.younggoose.com/    Instagram: @young_goose_skincareFind more from Eli HealthWebsite: eli.health Instagram: @myelihealth LinkedIn: Eli Health

Everyone online is talking about peptides like they’re the next collagen powder, but most people are skipping the most important part: is your body even in a state to heal?In this episode, we sit down with longevity expert Nat Niddam to get clear on what peptides actually are, how they work in the body, and where people are getting this conversation dangerously wrong. We talk about the difference between signaling peptides and bioregulator peptides, why inflammation and gut integrity determine whether you’ll see real results, and why “anti-aging for skin” is not as simple as injecting the trendy thing from Instagram.We also dig into BPC-157, TB-500, growth hormone secretagogues, and the pineal, thymus, and vascular bioregulators, including when they can accelerate repair, and when they’re a terrible idea. Nat explains why your skin is a mirror of internal stress, mitochondrial function, and recovery, and why trying to force aesthetic results on top of chronic inflammation is like trying to build a house that’s already on fire.Nat Niddam is a certified nutritionist, longevity practitioner, and one of the most trusted voices in the peptide and bioregulator space. She helps clients approach repair, recovery, and aging with strategy instead of guesswork.We Also Discuss:(00:01) What Peptides Really Are, and Why Everyone’s Talking About Them(08:45) Inflammation: The Silent Blocker That Stops Peptides from Working(18:58) The Longevity Stack: Bioregulators, Immunity, and Cellular Repair(29:39) Beginner Protocols: How to Start Peptide Therapy Safely(37:31) From Gut to Glow: Peptides, Healing, and Immune Support(51:18) The Growth Hormone Question, Repair, Recovery, and Real RisksFind more from Young Goose:Blue Peptide Spray: Cellular hydration meets antioxidant power → Blue Peptide SprayUse code PODCAST10 to get 10% off your first purchase, and if you’re a returning customer use the code PODCAST5 to get 5% off at https://www.younggoose.com/    Instagram: @young_goose_skincareFind more from Nathalie Niddam:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nathalien iddam Website: https://www.natniddam.com/ 

What if the secret to better skin isn’t another serum or laser, but lowering inflammation from the inside out?In this episode, I sit down with Karin Adoni, a certified holistic nutritionist, to talk about how food, sleep, and everyday toxins shape the way we age. Karin shares how she turned her own recovery from eating disorders into a mission to help women rebuild their metabolism and hormone balance naturally. We break down why ultra-processed foods and seed oils accelerate aging, how gut health drives skin health, and why sustainable change starts with real food, clean water, and better sleep, not shortcuts.Karin Adoni is a certified holistic nutritionist and founder of Karin Adoni Nutrition. She specializes in helping women heal inflammation, balance hormones, and age well through realistic, empowering nutrition and lifestyle changes.We Also Discuss:(00:01) From Eating Disorders to Empowered Nutrition(07:44) The Real Pillars of Wellness (That Actually Work)(13:21) How Food and Inflammation Shape Aging(27:06) The Ugly Truth About “Skinny Shots” and GLP-1s(34:13) Hormones, Toxins, and the Hidden Drivers of Skin Aging(44:35) Building a Personalized Nutrition Plan That LastsFind more from Young Goose:Blue Peptide Spray: Cellular hydration meets antioxidant power → Blue Peptide SprayUse code PODCAST10 to get 10% off your first purchase, and if you’re a returning customer use the code PODCAST5 to get 5% off at https://www.younggoose.com/    Instagram: @young_goose_skincareFind more from Karin Adoni:Website: https://karinadoni.com/ Instagram: @karinadoninutrition/ Tiktok: @karinadoninutrition 

What if the best way to rejuvenate your skin isn’t lasers, peels, or expensive devices, but teaching your skin to repair itself?In this episode, Joel Marshall, Founder and CEO of Dp Derm joins us to reveal how modern microneedling has evolved from rollers and stamps into the precision of the Dermapen 4. We explain how controlled micro-injuries stimulate natural collagen production, break down scar tissue, and restore youthful function without the risks of heat-based treatments. He also shares why so-called radiofrequency microneedling is misleading and potentially harmful.We also explore the role of exosomes, NAD⁺, vitamin C, and licorice root extract in amplifying results, along with why pre-treatment preparation and post-care are essential for long-term outcomes. Joel’s mission is clear: make skin health accessible and effective through science-driven protocols, not marketing gimmicks.Joel Marshall is the Founder and CEO of Dp Derm, the US home of DermapenWorld, and a global leader in professional microneedling technology. He has pioneered safer, smarter, and more effective approaches to skin rejuvenation.We Also Discuss:(00:01) Microneedling Uncovered: Why Tiny Injuries Transform Skin(06:59) Lasers vs. Needles: Why Heat Isn’t Always Better(12:10) The RF Controversy: Why It’s Not True Microneedling(18:45) Inside the Industry: The Hidden Challenges of Microneedling(25:00) Exosomes Explained: The Future of Skin Regeneration(35:45) Supercharging Skincare: Can Microneedling Really Boost Absorption?(45:38) Red Light, Cold Plunge, and Microneedling—What Actually Works?(48:41) Truth or Hype: The Biggest Microneedling Myths ExplainedFind more from Young Goose:Blue Peptide Spray – Cellular hydration meets antioxidant power → Blue Peptide SprayAmplifying Essence – Prime skin for deeper absorption → Amplifying essenceThe YouTH Firming Body Cream: Smoother arms, firmer thighs, tighter skin, powered by NAD+ and spermidine.

Most people hear “copper peptide” and think “trend”. But GHK-Cu isn’t new, it’s a naturally occurring bioregulator your body already uses to repair, rebuild, and rejuvenate skin.In this episode of Biohacking Beauty, we break down why GHK-Cu deserves its cult status in longevity skincare. We also unpack how this tripeptide binds copper to signal fibroblasts, activate collagen and elastin genes, and restore damaged tissue at the cellular level. You’ll learn why 3% is the sweet spot for results without irritation, how GHK-Cu works synergistically with retinol, vitamin C, methylene blue, and NAD+, and what makes pharmaceutical-grade sourcing critical for performance.If you’ve ever wondered whether GHK-Cu can truly “reset” aging cells or how it compares to retinol, this episode connects the dots between biochemistry and visible results, showing how small, precise molecules can drive profound, measurable change in your skin’s longevity.What's Discussed:(00:00) What makes ghk-cu more than a “trendy copper peptide”(02:20) How fibroblasts, collagen genes, and epigenetics work together(07:19) Why 3% ghk-cu is the sweet spot for results without irritation(10:22) Retinol, vitamin c, and ghk-cu,  the synergy your skin actually needs(18:24) Methylene blue, nad+, and the ultimate skin longevity stackFind more from Young Goose:Blue Peptide Spray – Cellular hydration meets antioxidant power → Blue Peptide SprayThe YouTH Firming Body Cream: Smoother arms, firmer thighs, tighter skin, powered by NAD+ and spermidine.

Exosomes aren’t just a buzzword, they’re nanoscale messengers that deliver the body’s own repair instructions. In this episode of Biohacking Beauty, we unpack the science of platelet-derived, or “vampire,” exosomes and how they go beyond conventional growth factors to target aging at its root. You’ll learn how microRNA inside platelet exosomes can reduce senescence signals, trigger collagen and elastin renewal, and activate autophagy for deeper cellular repair. The hosts also explore how formulation stability, ingredient compatibility, and third-party quantification make or break an exosome product. If you’ve ever wondered how PRP exosomes compare to traditional PRP facials, or why pairing them with NAD-boosting actives can amplify skin longevity, this episode explains the real mechanisms behind the hype, helping you understand what it takes for skin to truly act younger, not just look it.What's Discussed:(00:00) Redefining Skin Longevity Through Cellular Repair(06:07) How Exosomes Became the Next Frontier in Regenerative Skincare(16:00) Why Platelet-Derived Exosomes Deliver the Most Potent Repair Signals(23:54) The Real Anti-Aging Data Behind PRP Exosomes(32:35) Exosomes vs. Retinoids, Fillers, and Lasers, What the Evidence Shows(46:30) Elevating Repair Capacity: Exosomes Meet Rejuve NADFind more from Young Goose:Vampire Exosomes: Experience the world’s highest-potency exosome serum here → Vampire ExosomesUse code PODCAST10 to get 10% off your first purchase, and if you’re a returning customer use the code PODCAST5 to get 5% off at https://www.younggoose.com/    Instagram: @young_goose_skincare

What if the products you’re being told to buy are doing more harm than good?In this episode of Biohacking Beauty, we strip it back to unfiltered opinions, no scripts, no fluff, just real talk about the ingredients and habits that get way too much attention in skincare.We call out why certain “hero” ingredients, like high-dose niacinamide, may actually backfire with chronic use, and why collagen powders in hot coffee aren’t the miracle they’re sold as. We dig into the over-exfoliation trap, explain why protecting your barrier is the foundation for every other biohack, and spotlight methylene blue as one of the most underutilized longevity tools for skin.At the end of the day, trends will come and go, but your skin cells don’t follow hype — they respond to biology.

What if stress isn’t the reason your hormones are crashing, what if it’s the other way around? In this episode of Biohacking Beauty, we sit down with longevity clinician Dr. Sarah Daccarett to explore how early hormone decline sets women up for stress intolerance, immune dysfunction, and accelerated aging.We will explain why telling women to “just de-stress” misses the point, how estrogen and progesterone regulate immune balance, and why autoimmune disease skyrockets when these hormones drop. We also dive into the role of environmental toxins and birth control in shutting down protective signaling, and why most standard hormone therapies fail because of outdated formulations and delivery systems.You’ll hear why optimizing hormones in your 20s and 30s is critical for skin health, sleep, and vitality, why waiting until menopause is too late, and how Sarah is rethinking women’s health.Dr. Sarah Daccarett is the founder of InnerBalance, a telehealth platform rethinking women’s hormone optimization with clinically precise dosing, advanced delivery systems, and ongoing clinical support in 46 states.We Also Discuss:(00:00) Why Women’s Hormones Decline Early(15:08) Hormones, Immunity & Skin Aging(25:32) The Future of Hormone Therapy(29:38) Why Women Age Faster Than Men(40:00) Telehealth & Hormone Optimization(50:00) Diet’s Hidden Impact on Hormones(01:04:19) Hormones as the Foundation of LongevityFind more from Young Goose:The YouTH Firming Body Cream: Smoother arms, firmer thighs, tighter skin, powered by NAD+ and spermidine.

What if your collagen cream isn’t working, because your skin doesn’t have the raw materials to use it?In this episode of Biohacking Beauty we reveal the missing half of most people’s skincare: the internal protocol. From vitamin C as a collagen cofactor (“10x harder for your skin to build collagen without it”) to the role of omega-3s in plumping skin from the inside out, this episode lays out a step-by-step supplement strategy for real skin longevity.We break down why oral hyaluronic acid outperforms topical forms in clinical trials, why senescent cells are not the root cause of aging (just a symptom), and how bioactives like NMN, ergothioneine, and astaxanthin actually get expressed in the skin, unlike most topicals.We also discuss trends like matcha and how it outperforms coffee for skin health, and why oral senolytics like fisetin help eliminate zombie cells that drive inflammation and visible aging.You don't want to miss this one! What's Discussed:(00:39) Why Supplements Matter More Than Serums(03:38) The Foundational Skin Stack: C, D, E, Omegas, Collagen, HA(19:04) Mid-Tier Bioactives: CoQ10, Curcumin, EGCG, Astaxanthin(34:33) Advanced Longevity: NMN, Fisetin, Spermidine, Sulforaphane(43:05) Metabolomics Testing + Personalized Skin Protocols(52:46) Final Takeaways: Building a Skin Longevity RegimenFind more from Young Goose:The YouTH Firming Body Cream: Smoother arms, firmer thighs, tighter skin, powered by NAD+ and spermidine.

What if the reason your skin barrier keeps breaking down has nothing to do with your products, and everything to do with the water coming out of your tap?In this episode, Leah Vairo, Chief Brand Officer at FilterBaby, joins us to reveal how chlorine, hard water minerals, and hidden contaminants in your shower or sink accelerate oxidative stress, disrupt the microbiome, and drain your skin’s NAD⁺ reserves. We dive deep on how unfiltered water weakens keratinocyte activity, fuels irritation and redness, and speeds up visible aging. even if you’re using the best skincare.You’ll discover why most shower filters don’t actually work, the lab data showing filtered water improves hydration and wound healing.

What if the real reason your skin is aging faster has nothing to do with your skincare, and everything to do with your gut?In this episode, Dr. Vincent Pedre, gut health expert joins us to uncover how leaky gut, dysbiosis, and hidden food sensitivities can trigger acne, eczema, redness, and premature wrinkles. We explain how gut inflammation accelerates collagen breakdown, fuels glycation, and weakens the skin barrier, and why restoring your microbiome can be more powerful than any topical cream.You’ll discover the surprising role of pomegranate polyphenols, how certain “healthy” foods can sabotage your skin, and Dr. Pedre’s most effective tools for repairing the gut.

There’s a point where even the best skincare starts to feel like it’s not doing enough. Serums stack up, results slow down. What no one tells you is that this might not be a product issue, it might be an energy issue. Specifically, cellular energy.
