    What Is a Woman? A Trans Woman Answers | Daviana Memont | Ep. 67

    Can you love someone you don't agree with?I preach the Bible and Jesus' love on this show. And I invited a transgender woman back on it. Why? Because we are called to love people, and it breaks my heart watching every difference get used to divide us.This week, I sat down again with Daviana Memont, a former Marine, powerlifter and strength coach who took her first hormone injection at 46. She first felt something different at six. Then she hid it from everyone, her own family included, until her mid-40s, because growing up in the '80s, even a feminine boy got bullied.She doesn't demand your pronouns. You want to call her he/him? Go right ahead. She prefers she/her, but she's not going to get mad at you. In her words: "I don't offend people. People get offended."Here's what blew my mind: when her first video went up, thousands of hateful comments poured in. She blocked everyone. A couple of days later, she unblocked every single one of them, and started answering the hate with humor.We also get into who she dates (wait until you hear about her DMs), why she says no to kids transitioning, and why she believes trans women don't belong in women's sports, and calls herself the perfect example.This conversation will change how you think about loving people you disagree with.What we talk about:• Why I invited a trans woman back onto a show that preaches Jesus' love• Transitioning at 46, and the feeling she first had at six• Who she dates, and the straight women sliding into her DMs• Why she says no to kids transitioning, and what her daughter said• Thousands of hateful comments, and why she answers them with humor• Women's sports and the WNBA draft bids of Enes Kanter Freedom and Royce White• "I don't offend people.

    Why I Flew Across the Country to Get Injected With My Own Blood | Daurie Marsden | Ep. 66

    What if the best filler you could put in your face was already running through your veins?I flew from San Diego to Connecticut to find out. This week, I sat down with Daurie Marsden, DNP, a nurse anesthetist turned regenerative aesthetics expert, founder of Hailo Medical, and, according to a doctor friend of mine, one of the best injectors in the world. She opened Hailo thinking it would be a fun little side thing. It turned into a crusade for the kind of self-care she knew she needed herself.The day before we recorded, she drew my blood, spun it down, cooked part of my plasma into a gel, and put it back into my face along with my own exosomes. Yes, I'm puffy. Less than 24 hours, you guys.Here's what blew my mind: every milliliter held about 800 billion of my own exosomes, and she had 10 to 11 ml to work with. A syringe of filler is usually one. No salmon sperm. No mystery lab. From you, for you.Then she dropped a bomb about why your Botox might not be lasting like it used to, and it isn't always the product.After hearing this, you'll never look at a "quick fix" the same way again.What we talk about: Why I flew across the country instead of getting PRP on GrouponHow your own plasma gets "cooked" into a natural biofillerAutologous exosomes vs. salmon sperm PDRN, and knowing exactly what goes inHow a recent illness or GLP-1s can change how long Botox lastsOzempic face, hair loss, and why protein and hydration matter so muchWhy 85% of your results come from what you do at homeSculptra vs. Radiesse vs. HA filler, explained like watercolor and oil paintSkin tacking, RF devices, and why the injector matters more than the machineListen to HYDRATE with Tracy Duhs on your favorite podcast platform.Connect with Daurie:Hailo Medical: https://hailomedical.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hailomedical/Book with Hailo: https://hailo.myaestheticrecord.com/Connect with Tracy:Website: https://tracyduhs.com/Hydration Shop: https://sanctuarysd.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tracyduhs/Flow FAM Community: https://tracyduhs.com/join-flow-fam/

    Inside The Lab with Ian Mitchell: Stem Cells, Lasers & My Shoulder Treatment

    What if the material for a facial filler could come from your own blood? This week I sat down with Ian Mitchell, founder of Wizard Sciences, at ECORE in Encinitas. He walked me through an idea I had a lot of questions about: a gel made from your own plasma and what he calls “day-zero” stem cells. I wanted to know how that differs from PRP, what he means by waking up dormant cells, and where the laser comes in. His explanation took us from stem cells to tuning forks, light, and the word we kept coming back to: coherence. I also share what I noticed after an earlier treatment on my hip and wrist. Then we head into the treatment room for my shoulder. You’ll see the injection, the laser session, and my immediate reaction as it happens. And because it’s Ian, we take a few detours. We talk about the connections he sees between music, architecture, and chemistry; his work with C60; and his theories about water and cellular energy. He also describes the sprout experiment behind his views on structured water. Stay through the end to come into the treatment room with us. What we talk about: • The plasma-and-stem-cell gel Ian describes as an alternative to filler • What he means by “day-zero” cells and how he distinguishes them from PRP • My earlier hip and wrist treatment experience • Photobiomodulation: Ian’s explanation of light and cellular function • Coherence, tuning forks, and the patterns he sees across disciplines • C60, mitochondria, and why cellular energy interests him • His views on water, ATP, and the sprout experiment • My shoulder injection and laser session, filmed in the treatment room Chapters: 00:00 – Meeting Ian at ECORE 00:45 – Filler made from your own blood? 02:21 – What Ian means by “day-zero” stem cells 04:07 – My previous hip and wrist treatment 06:34 – Light, cells, and photobiomodulation 09:16 – Coherence and the tuning-fork analogy 12:42 – Music, architecture, and chemistry 20:56 – C60 and mitochondria 26:19 – Ian’s theories about water and cellular energy 29:26 – The sprout experiment he describes 33:57 – How Ian explains today’s treatment 35:44 – Into the treatment room: my shoulder Listen to HYDRATE with Tracy Duhs on your favorite podcast platform.

    The Story I've Never Told on This Show | Tracy Duhs | Ep. 63

    Have you ever had a moment where everything you built your life on just gave out underneath you? I have. And I've never told you the whole story — until now. No guest this week. Just me, and the night I ended up on my kitchen floor. I was 38. A 13-year marriage was dissolving. I had two little girls and no idea who to call. So I called out to Jesus, over and over and over. My mom taught me there's power in that name, and in that moment it was the only lifeline I had. Here's the part that still stings: when the marriage ended, I lost my church too. Divorce was taboo there. The people I thought were my family stopped feeling like family, and I was completely alone. Then I felt God nudging me toward a podcast. I was terrified nobody would download it. I recorded episode one with Robert Slovak, the godfather of reverse osmosis, in his Long Beach apartment while the entire world was shut down. A couple thousand of you showed up. I started this show to serve you out of my own pain. But the gift came back. You became my new family. So this one is my thank you. I'm also telling you the truth about why I've been quiet lately, and what's changing about HYDRATE. After this one, you'll never hear this show the same way again.

    Why Your Body Won't Absorb the Food You're Eating | Ryann Morris | Ep. 62

    What if the reason food isn't sitting right with you has nothing to do with the food?This week I sat down with Ryann Morris, an Ayurvedic chef, founder of Food Brilliance, and the woman behind the short film Food Is Everything, now traveling the international festival circuit.Her story starts with a routine foot surgery that went wrong. MRSA got into her bones. Five months of IV antibiotics, fourteen hours a day on a PICC line. It destroyed her gut. And then it took out her vagus nerve — the nerve running your breath, your digestion, your everything.Here's what blew my mind. She was already a chef. And she couldn't hold a knife. Couldn't drive. She'd sit down to eat and fall over. Seven years of that.Then she dropped a bomb about how she climbed out. Brain exercises. Eye movements. Electrical stimulation on her tongue to wake that nerve back up. And when her body finally started listening again, she rebuilt her digestion like she was feeding a newborn — a quarter cup of yogurt to three quarters of a cup of water, sipped slow, until her body remembered what to do with it.Oh, and she keeps four bins of earthworms in her yard and calls herself a worm mom. You'll want to hear why.After this one, you'll never look at a "bad reaction to food" the same way again.What we talk about:- Why the food rules you were handed might be keeping you stuck- The papaya seeds you throw away, and what they're actually for- What a backyard worm farm does for your soil and your kids- How a rejected cookbook proposal became an award-winning short film- Why an "ingredient household" gets teenagers back in the kitchen- The foot surgery that led to MRSA and a shut-down vagus nerve- Tongue stimulation, eye exercises, and waking up a numb vagus nerve- The prebiotic foods she used to rebuild her gut after SIBOListen to the full episode on all platforms: Hydrate With Tracy Duhs.Episode Links: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/food_brilliance/Website: https://www.foodbrilliance.com/Connect with Tracy:Website: ⁠⁠⁠https://tracyduhs.com/⁠⁠⁠Hydration Shop: ⁠⁠⁠https://sanctuarysd.com/⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/tracyduhs/⁠Flow FAM Community: ⁠⁠⁠https://tracyduhs.com/join-flow-fam/⁠

    Fake Supplements, Glucose Spikes, Lactoferrin & Paraxanthine | Michael Antonelli | Ep. 61

    You have a supplement graveyard in your pantry. Admit it. Half-used bottles you feel guilty throwing away, and no real idea if a single one of them is doing anything. This week, I sat down with Michael Antonelli, founder and CEO of Healthgevity and one of the most obsessive formulators I've ever met — and we recorded inside a biotech lab on Park Avenue South, where scientists are growing human lactoferrin from yeast. Here's what blew my mind. The lactoferrin in almost every supplement on the shelf comes from cows. Michael says your body can read that bovine protein as a foreign invader, which is why this team spent years engineering a version identical to the protein in mother's milk. Your cells recognize it instantly. He compared it to skipping the line at the club with a VIP pass. Then he dropped a bomb about how to vet a supplement company, and I've been repeating it to my friends ever since. Proprietary blends? Red flag. Can't find the ingredient list within 30 seconds of landing on the site? Red flag. He won't sell on any third-party site at all — and I've personally had clients end up with counterfeit bottles. We also cracked capsules open and drank them, talked paraxanthine versus caffeine, glucose spikes, zombie cells, and why nobody's talking about leaky vessels. After this one, you'll never buy a supplement the same way again. What we talk about: - Why human-identical lactoferrin behaves so differently than the bovine kind - The 340 mg dose most brands quietly can't afford to use - Two words on a label that should make you put the bottle back - Why he won't let his products be sold on Amazon - Paraxanthine vs. caffeine: energy with no jitters, crash, or tolerance - What blood sugar spikes are doing to your collagen and your skin - Spermidine, fasting, and clearing out the zombie cells taking up space - Leaky gut gets all the attention. Your leaky vessels don't. Listen to the full episode on all platforms — and catch the full lab walkthrough on YouTube.

    You're Doing Too Much To Your Skin | Celebrity Esthetician Madalaina Conti | Ep. 60

    What if almost nothing you're putting on your face is actually getting in?This week, I sat down with Madalaina Conti, the New York esthetician behind Synergistic Skincare and the first practitioner to bring Qi Beauty to NYC. She's the one I fly across the country to see. But the skin you see now? That took over a decade. Madalaina spent her teens and twenties in deeply cystic, nodular acne that sat right on her jawbone and gave her toothaches. She almost didn't go to esthetics school at all, because she figured nobody would trust a girl who couldn't fix her own face.Here's what blew my mind. She told me you're only absorbing around 4% of what you apply topically unless you're doing something to drive it deeper. Four percent. Now go look at your shelf.Then she dropped a bomb on half the trends on your feed. Collagen masks — your skin can't decode and use it. LED masks — the wavelengths matter enormously, and some of those lights are the same tech used to hatch eggs. At-home microneedling — you can trigger an immune response that has to be surgically removed.And then we went somewhere I didn't expect at all: sound healing, cranial work, dating in New York, and why getting older might be the most exciting thing happening to us.After this one, you'll never look at your skincare shelf the same way.What we talk about:- Why her cystic acne caused toothaches — and what was actually behind it- Androgen sensitivity vs. "hormonal acne," and why your labs come back normal- Why sound healing and cranial decompression belong in a facial- The zinc "butt cream" trend and what she'd do instead- LED masks, red light, and the wavelengths that actually build collagen- PDRN, salmon DNA, and whether the topical version does anything- Slugging without wrecking your skin — plus the products to skip- Why acne scars and pigment need time, not another serumCheck out the full episode on all platforms: Hydrate With Tracy DuhsEpisode Links & Resources:Website: ⁠https://madalainaconti.comInstagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/madalainaconti/Connect with Tracy:Website: ⁠⁠⁠https://tracyduhs.com/⁠⁠⁠Hydration Shop: ⁠⁠⁠https://sanctuarysd.com/⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/tracyduhs/⁠Flow FAM Community: ⁠⁠⁠https://tracyduhs.com/join-flow-fam/⁠
