Okay, real talk: I'm selfishly excited for this live. Not because I'm some enlightened wellness oracle—but because I’m a woman of a certain age who has recently started groaning every time I stand up. My muscles ache, my energy disappears at 3pm, and I’ve been having an existential reckoning about strength, aging, and (let’s be honest) my own mortality. Cute! The topic of biohacking has always felt... extra. Like unless you own a cryotherapy chamber and an Oura ring that matches your manicure, you’re not invited to the party. So I decided to call in the big guns. Enter: Celia Chen — health optimization coach, founder of Chenessa, and the woman I trust to decode all the wearables, peptides, powders, and TikTok hacks we’re constantly being told we “need.” Celia is a walking Swiss Army knife of useful, non-b******t info. She works with women in midlife to reclaim their energy, manage metabolism, and build strength that actually lasts (read: not just hot girl walk strength, but real muscle mass that keeps you alive longer and better). She’s taught corporate workshops, led group classes, and runs private coaching focused on hormones, metabolism, and body composition — aka the things no one warned us would start to feel like full-time jobs post-35. She also writes a smart, unpretentious Substack “IN THE PINK” , and she’s about to launch “Decode Your Body,” a class where you’ll learn how to read your DEXA scan, interpret your body metrics, and actually use that data to feel better and age smarter.

Great for or muscle building but also in larger doses when sleep deprived or jet lagged. brand Highlight: Momentous * Peptides – For metabolism, recovery, and anti-aging. Peptide therapy has minimal side effects and very promising results. Skip the med-spa, go practitioner-grade * Red Light Therapy – For ATP production and cellular repair. Therasage has an affordable mat you can lie on * NAD+ Support – It’s a co-enzyme that plays a role in energy production and helps convert food into energy, repairs DNA, regulates inflammation. Our natural levels decrease with age. Source peptides from reputable sources instead of online. JOI+Blokes can prescribe either injections or nasal spray. Use CELIA15 for 15% off * Microneedling – Boosts collagen and skin repair (no radiofrequency needed) * Supplements : * BodyBio PC Oil * Magnesium Glycinate (at night) * Wonderfeel NMN * Hormones – This is longevity medicine. Think transdermal estrogen, oral micronized progesterone, testosterone, vaginal estrogen, or DHEA. It’s not about reversing time; it’s about protecting your brain, bones, mood, and metabolism as the estrogen rug is slowly pulled out from under you. * Jet Lag Protocol – Traveling? Download the TimeShifter app — it’s witchcraft meets circadian science. (full nerdy breakdown HERE ) Some of you were asking about the Comprehensive Labs to check for deficiencies and overall metabolic, lipid and hormonal health - Celia’s picks are : JOI+Blokes (CELIA15 gets you 50% off) or Function Health. That’s all for today. Let’s live longer, better, stronger… (Jesus, I sound like a gym coach yelling over a Britney remix). Anyway, Celia spilled. Peptides, perimenopause, glucose monitors, and why your quads are basically your retirement plan.You’re going to want to listen to this one.
