    Hannah Went: Your Skincare Routine Won’t Fix THIS Aging Problem

    Welcome back to Biohacking Beauty! Today, we’re diving into the cutting-edge science of biological vs. chronological aging and how epigenetic testing is revolutionizing the way we understand skin longevity. Aging isn’t just about the number of birthdays you’ve had—it’s about how your cells are aging at the molecular level. And now, thanks to advancements in epigenetics and AI-driven diagnostics, we can measure and even influence that process. In this episode, I sit down with Hannah Went, an expert in biological age testing and the Director of Operations at TruDiagnostic, a leading epigenetics company. We explore how biological aging manifests in the skin, why epigenetic markers are more predictive of health than genetics, and how personalized interventions can actually slow or even reverse aging at the cellular level. Hannah also shares groundbreaking research on how lifestyle choices, like diet, sleep, and even skincare, can alter gene expression and influence the rate at which we age. Plus, we discuss how advanced testing methods can provide real-time feedback on how well anti-aging interventions are actually working. If you’ve ever wanted to take a data-driven approach to longevity, this episode is packed with insights you won’t want to miss. Hannah Went is the Director of Operations at TruDiagnostic, a company at the forefront of biological age testing and longevity research. With a background in epigenetics and functional medicine, she’s dedicated to helping individuals track and optimize their health using cutting-edge diagnostic tools.

    Dr. Scott Sherr: Stress & Light on Your Skin Are Aging Your Entire Body

    Most people don’t think about their skin until they have to. The reality is, by the time we notice fine lines, dullness, or inflammation, deeper processes have already been at play for years. But what if your skin isn’t just reflecting aging? What if it’s reflecting your overall health, stress levels, and even brain function? In this episode of Biohacking Beauty, I sit down with Dr. Scott Sherr to uncover the fascinating connection between your skin and brain, a relationship most people don’t even realize exists. This conversation originally took place on The Smarter Not Harder Podcast, where Scott and I explored the skin-brain axis and how your skin is more than just a barrier, it’s an active communicator with your nervous system, influencing everything from inflammation to stress resilience and even cognitive function. We also tackle some of the biggest misconceptions in skincare, like why hydration doesn’t actually come from the outside, how sun exposure impacts your skin at a cellular level, and the surprising ways senescent cells in your skin accelerate whole-body aging. Plus, we break down the latest science on hormones, collagen production, and microbiome health, and how all of these factors impact how your skin ages. Dr. Scott Sherr is the host of the Smarter Not Harder Podcast and a physician specializing in health optimization, hyperbaric therapy, and longevity medicine. As the founder of Integrative HBOT and a leading expert in performance medicine, he helps individuals leverage cutting-edge science to enhance vitality, slow aging, and optimize brain and body function.

    Many of us think of plastic surgery as a drastic, last-resort solution, but what if the secret to natural, long-lasting results isn’t about doing more, but doing less?

    Melissa Boloña: What’s Really Causing Wrinkles (It’s Not What You Think)

    Many of us chase radiant, youthful skin by investing in expensive products, but I’ve learned that the secret to lasting results often lies beneath the surface—literally. Your gut health plays a pivotal role in your skin’s appearance, influencing everything from hydration to inflammation and even premature aging. The more I dive into this topic, the more I realize how understanding the gut-skin connection is key to unlocking healthier, glowing skin. In this episode of Biohacking Beauty, I sit down with Melissa Boloña, founder of The Beauty and the Broth, to discuss how gut health impacts our skin and why bone broth has become a cornerstone of so many wellness routines. Melissa shares her personal journey of overcoming chronic digestive issues and autoimmunity, and we break down the science behind bone broth’s bioavailability, its role in repairing the gut lining, and how it supports collagen production while reducing inflammation. This is a conversation I’ve been wanting to have for a long time because the connection between gut health and skin health is often overlooked. We also dive into common misconceptions about collagen supplements, why sourcing and bioavailability matter, and how simple changes to your routine can have a profound impact on your overall health and appearance. Melissa Boloña is the founder of The Beauty and the Broth, a wellness brand redefining bone broth with convenience and quality. After overcoming chronic digestive issues and autoimmunity, she became passionate about the gut-skin connection and ancestral nutrition.  Let's dive in! We Also Discuss: (00:01) The Power of Bone Broth (08:50) Discovering the Benefits of Bone Broth (20:30) Exploring Bone Broth Sourcing and Benefits (29:57) Exploring Nutrition & Lifestyle Choices (35:15) Balancing Business and Wellness Priorities (50:22) Navigating Brand Integrity and Decision-Making Learn more about: Young Goose Use 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 Melissa Boloña Website: https://thebeautyandthebroth.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/melissabolona
