    #197: 🎙️The Next 20 Years Are for the Womb | Ekua Yankah from Awodee

    This week I sit down with Ekua Yankah, founder of Awodee, a social epidemiologist who left a long career in the UN system, learned the power of big period data at Berlin's Clue, and is now building the research infrastructure to cure endometriosis, fibroids, and PCOS, conditions affecting over 170 million women worldwide. Ekua’s founder story starts with a diagnosis. Her doctors found a 9cm, baseball-sized ovarian cyst at 23 years old, then found more than 10 fibroids, and recommended surgery at 39. She navigated symptom-free menopause with tai chi, qigong, and acupuncture (her experience, not a prescription). Through this experience she learned the harsh realities of the medical system and the gaps in women’s health. Like why insurers file these conditions under "fertility" or "pre-existing" and refuse to pay. Her company Awodee's is focused on research-ready data collection with partners like Nigeria's Fertitude, women as co-creators, starting with a self-funded 200-woman study in Kenya. We also discuss Lupita Nyong'o's 75 fibroids, the "Period Insurance" dream, and the first-day-of-your-cycle leave policy at Awodee.

    #193: 🎙️ The Next Currency in Healthcare is Cells | Drew Taylor from Acorn Biolabs

    I asked Drew if we were heading toward a future where my younger cells become a currency I could trade. He didn’t say “no”. There’s a version of you from ten years ago. Skin that bounced back, hair that grew in thick, cells that healed fast and inflamed less. That version is gone. Unless you saved it. This week on the Nina’s Notes Podcast, I sit down with Drew Taylor, CEO of Acorn Biolabs, whose team figured out that the stem cell goldmine we’ve been drilling into hip bones to reach has been sitting at the root of your hair this whole time. With their protocol, you pluck about hairs from the back of your head at your doctor’s office, the follicles get shipped to a lab, checked for viability, and dropped into liquid nitrogen at -196°C. At that temperature there’s no metabolism. No aging. Nothing. A version of you, frozen mid-sentence in storage for when you need it. And, banking those cells costs less than Netflix. $190 a year for frozen storage. Acorn has already taken plucked hair follicles, turned them into iPSCs (induced pluripotent stem cells which can become anything) and turned them into cartilage, bone, fat, and neurons. They even pushed those neurons into the exact dopamine-producing cells that Parkinson’s destroys. Acron is also exploring using their protocol to create pancreatic cells for type 1 diabetes, and natural killer cells that hunt down senescent and cancerous cells, the same population that falls off a cliff as we age. Oh, and three patients have reported their gray hairs coming back. Nobody was tracking for that! I also asked - Who actually owns your cells if the company gets acquired? Does banking at 12 versus 45 create a two-tier longevity system? He answered both without flinching. Watch & listen to the whole episode on 🔴YouTube 🟢 Spotify, 🟣 Apple Podcasts, 🟠 Substack Podcasts Timestamps 00:00 Introduction to the future of healthcare and cell currency 02:05 The significance of cells in regenerative medicine 06:19 Innovative methods for stem cell collection from hair follicles 08:26 From plucked hair to banked cells: the process explained 15:31 The secretome: what it is and how it benefits skin and hair 24:40 Protocols and treatments for skin and hair regeneration 28:30 Using AI to enhance regenerative medicine workflows 37:32 Future therapeutics: from 3D printed organs to cell therapies 44:28 Ownership, accessibility, and the future of cell banking 52:39 Sci-fi visions of medicine: bioprinting and organ regeneration 53:26 The importance of early cell banking and next steps LINKS Acorn Biolabs - https://acorn.me/ Cell Banking - https://acorn.me/cell-banking/ LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/drew-taylor-65b6ab10/ ABOUT DREW TAYLOR: Dr. Drew Taylor is Founder and CEO of Acorn Biolabs, a regenerative medicine company pioneering the use of a person’s own cells to power longevity, aesthetics, and personalized healthcare.

    #191:🎙️Why AI Looks Smarter Every Year | Neuroscientist John Krakauer

    John Krakauer, neuroscientist & neurologist, builds therapeutic games for a living, and he is also one of the most honest skeptics you will hear on what actually helps the brain. In this conversation we get into the messy truth behind brain training, why he does not buy most of the hype, and the one long-term study on dementia that he genuinely cannot explain away. From there we go somewhere bigger. We talk about why AI keeps looking smarter every year (and why part of that might be us getting a little dumber), why "uploading your brain" belongs in the same bucket as imagining a plane flying backwards, and why the whole idea of longevity might be a misnomer, since most people do not want more years, they want to be young again.In this episode you will learn:- How most brain training falls short of what it promises, and the surprising result that made Krakauer pause- Why language lets us describe impossible things fluently, and what that means for claims about consciousness and brain uploading- Why medicine reaches for the gadget and skips the hard behavioural work, and why it can be harder to rehabilitate doctors than patients- What immersive, almost psychedelic digital experiences might offer for healing without any drug involvedChapters00:00 Introduction to John and his work in neurotechnology02:06 Overview of the Champlimaud Institute for Brain Research and Repair03:59 Digital Neurotherapeutic Center and its impact06:51 Comparing Hopkins and Champlimaud's approaches to neurotherapy09:55 The concept of digital psychedelics and immersive experiences15:02 Decoupling psychedelic experiences from drugs19:52 Long-term effects of brain training and cognitive games24:50 The potential of digital psychedelics in stroke and neuroplasticity29:56 The importance of sleep, diet, and exercise for brain health34:58 The future of brain uploading and collective consciousness40:06 The role of exergaming and immersive therapy spaces44:48 Prevention and treatment of stroke and neurodegenerative diseases49:54 Barriers to behavioral change in medicine and wellness55:07 The cultural and societal aspects of longevity and aging01:00:09 The human desire for youth and the meaning of aging01:04:58 The limitations of AI and the imagination of future technology01:09:56 Book recommendations and reflections on culture and philosophy Thanks for reading Nina’s Notes!

    #189: Why Your Doctor Might Be at Your Next Hotel

    In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Frederik Dierick, a family and sports medicine physician turned founder of Pioneer Wellness Group, to explore how hospitality could become one of the most effective (and most overlooked) tools for helping millions of people live longer, healthier lives. Listen & watch on 🔴YouTube 🟢 Spotify, & 🟣 Apple Podcasts Frederik makes the case that hotels and resorts are uniquely positioned to deliver science-backed longevity care at scale: guests arrive with time, attention, and motivation that almost never exists in a doctor’s office. We dig into what it actually takes to build a luxury wellness experience that’s grounded in real clinical science (not spa-day wellness theater), why nutrition is the most sensitive topic in medicine, where AI fits in as a health accountability partner, and what it will take to democratize longevity so it’s not just for the ultra-wealthy. CHAPTERS * 00:00 The Journey to Longevity Medicine * 05:47 Creating Transformative Experiences in Hospitality * 12:01 Practical Applications of Health in Hospitality * 18:00 The Future of Longevity in Hospitality * 23:57 The Challenges of Personalized Medicine * 29:10 Challenges in Patient Care and Systemic Issues * 38:35 Democratizing Longevity Medicine * 45:07 Nutrition: The Most Sensitive Topic * 51:16 The Future of Health Hospitality ABOUT DR. FREDERIK DIERICK Dr. Frederik Dierick trained as a family and sports medicine doctor before founding Pioneer Wellness Group, a consultancy on a mission to turn hotels and resorts into the world’s most powerful health platforms. He works at the intersection of clinical medicine and hospitality, helping brands build wellness experiences rooted in real science rather than trend-driven spa treatments.

    #184: 🎙️ Forget Your VO2 Max. This Scientist Says Your Social Score Matters More.

    Loneliness can cost you up to 20 years of healthy life. More than poor sleep. More than any supplement. And until now, there was no way to measure it. Dr. Axel Schumacher spent 25 years at the forefront of genomics and epigenetic clock research and says your social life is a more powerful longevity biomarker than anything in your bloodwork. In this episode, he walks through the Social Connectivity Value (SCV): a framework he developed to map your social network, identify the relationships that drain your energy, and turn your social health into a number you can actually track. What you’ll learn: * Why loneliness can cost 12–20 years of healthy life (men are hit harder than women) and why the “smoking 15 cigarettes a day” statistic doesn’t change behavior without a way to measure it * How to build a sociogram using Dunbar’s three layers, assign energy values to every person in your life (including the ones dragging you down), and calculate your SCV score * Why looking for a romantic partner through your close friends almost never works, and the “super connector” strategy that statistically gives you access to 150 new people from a single introduction What’s the link between loneliness, AI companions, and living to 150? We get into all of it.Timestamps * 00:05 – Intro * 01:35 – Meet Dr. Axel Schumacher * 02:21 – From Genomics to Social Science (The Pivot) * 04:28 – How Loneliness Affects Your Health Span * 06:36 – The Loneliness Epidemic & Declining Birth Rates * 07:47 – Why Is Social Health So Hard to Measure? * 09:56 – The Holt-Lunstad Meta-Analysis Explained * 10:47 – Introducing the Social Connectivity Value (SCV) * 12:44 – The Sociogram: Mapping Your Social World * 13:13 –Building Your Sociogram: Mapping Social Connections * 14:54 – The Dunbar Layers: Your 3 Social Circles * 15:22 – The Invisible Load: Identifying Energy-Draining Relationships * 17:03 – The Invisible Load of Toxic Relationships * 20:09 – The Role of Family and Close Connections * 22:38 – What Is Your SCV Score? * 24:51 – How Your Nervous System Responds to Others * 28:08 – Tracking Your Social Life Like a Biohacker * 30:44 – Introverts vs Extroverts & Social Energy * 31:49 – AI Companions & The Future of Connection * 35:31 – Should Your Partner Be Everything? * 37:34 – Weak Ties & Super Connectors * 41:37 – The Mathematical Magic of Super Connectors * 42:57 – Rapid Fire: Social Media — Net Positive or Negative? * 43:51 – SCV vs Epigenetic Clocks: Which Matters More? * 44:59 – The Best City for Human Connection * 47:12 – One Weekly Habit to Protect Your Social Health ABOUT DR. AXEL SCHUMACHER: Longevity scientist and epigenetics researcher with over 25 years of experience, believes the most powerful biomarker for how long you live isn’t in your blood it’s in your relationships. After decades at the forefront of genomics and biomarker discovery, he now focuses on quantifying human connection, developing the Social Connectivity Value (SCV), a first-of-its-kind framework to measure your social network as a health metric and longevity tool.
