I’m Marianna Khanivetskaya, a biomedical scientist and chemist, here to unpack the real science behind wellness trends. From skincare to supplements and TikTok hacks to “biohacks,” I break down what’s proven, what’s hype, and why some things work while others just sound good. Real facts, real context.

    You’re Probably Using Red Light Therapy Wrong

    Red light therapy has become one of the most polarising tools in the wellness space. Some people dismiss it as expensive LEDs and clever marketing. Others treat it like a universal fix for skin, pain, recovery, and everything in between. Yet the results people report are wildly inconsistent, even among those using similar devices. In this episode, I look at why red light therapy has ended up in this strange place, why the same claims can sound both convincing and questionable, and why people approaching it with equal enthusiasm can walk away with completely different results. We’ll look at what the research actually measures, how those findings are often interpreted, and where those interpretations start to drift. If you’ve ever considered getting a red light therapy device and thought “Does this actually work?” or tried it and wondered “…or am I just doing it wrong?” , this episode will give you a clearer way to think about it. One that finally makes sense of the noise, without the hype. https://www.instagram.com/forsciencessake_https://www.tiktok.com/@forsciencessakehttps://x.com/forsciencessake

    Collagen Supplements: Do They Actually Work?

    Collagen is taken by millions of people: mixed into coffee, added to smoothies, treated like a long-term investment. And yet no one seems to agree on whether it actually does anything. In this episode, I look at how collagen is absorbed, why where it comes from, how much you take, and how long you stick with it matter far more than most people realise. I also unpack why results around collagen feel so inconsistent from person to person, and why expectations around it tend to run way ahead of what it can realistically deliver. If you’ve ever taken collagen and thought “am I doing this wrong… or is it even worth it...?”, this episode will change how you think about it. https://www.instagram.com/forsciencessake_ https://www.tiktok.com/@forsciencessake https://x.com/forsciencessake

    Retinol 101: The Truth Behind Your “Glazed Donut” Skin

    Retinol is everywhere, but almost no one understands what it actually does, and most people are using it wrong. In this episode, I break it down: how one molecule shapes yourvision, immune system, and skin, and why it became the internet’s favourite anti-ageing ingredient. I walk through how retinoids truly work, why irritation happens, and the practical way to use them without compromising your skin barrier. If you’ve ever wondered why your “glow routine” sometimes backfires, this is your science-first explanation. https://www.instagram.com/forsciencessake_ https://www.tiktok.com/@forsciencessake https://x.com/forsciencessake
