    Hormone Optimization, Peptides & Living Better, Longer with Dr. Julian R. Gershon, Jr.

    You can be eating clean, training hard, and doing more for your health than anyone you know, and still feel exhausted, moody, and stuck with the same five or ten pounds. Then your doctor runs your labs, tells you everything looks normal, and calls it part of aging. Here's the truth: normal is not the same as optimal. In this episode of The Biohacked Method, I sit down with Dr. Julian R. Gershon, Jr., a physician board certified in three specialties and the founder of the Aspen Institute for Anti-Aging and Regenerative Medicine. We talk about why so many women are told their hormones are fine when they're far from optimized, and why he's now seeing patients in their 30s, and even their 20s, with hormone decline. Dr. Gershon and I discuss hormone-disrupting chemicals, testosterone, overlooked thyroid markers, and how progesterone may improve sleep and migraines. I also share my infertility journey and why hormone optimization and liver health go hand in hand.We explore personalized hormone care, follow-up testing, and regenerative medicine, including stem cells, exosomes, peptides, and mitochondrial support.

    KPV 101 for Women: Inflammation, Gut Health & How This Peptide Works

    KPV 101 for Women: Inflammation, Gut Health & How This Peptide Works Why do so many women feel puffy, bloated and inflamed even when they're doing everything "right"? Sometimes the body gets really good at flipping the inflammation switch on, and not so good at turning it back off. KPV is a tiny peptide, just three amino acids long, that researchers have studied for decades for its anti-inflammatory activity. It's still flying under the radar. In this episode of the peptide series on The Biohacked Method, integrated health practitioner Lindsey Burwell breaks down KPV for women. She covers what KPV is, how it may calm inflammatory signaling, why the gut research is so interesting, and where the science gets overstated. In this episode, you'll learn: * What KPV actually is. KPV (lysine, proline, valine) is the tiny tail end of alpha-MSH, a hormone your body already makes. It's a cousin of MT-1 and PT-141, without the tanning or libido effects. * The origin story. From a 1980s fever clue to the 1989 Hiltz and Lipton mouse study, to KPV's comeback in gut research around 2008. * How it may calm inflammation. Lindsey explains NF-kappa B, your body's inflammatory alarm system, and how KPV acts like a bouncer outside the cell's nucleus. * Why the gut research matters. KPV can travel through the PepT1 transporter into gut cells, and it reduced inflammatory signaling in preclinical models. * Calm first, rebuild second. How KPV differs from BPC-157 and TB-500, and why you don't hang new drywall while the house is still on fire. * What KPV won't do. No peptide can outwork your lifestyle, and Lindsey explains why foundations still come first. * Stacks, safety and GLP-1s. Why random peptide cocktails aren't more sophisticated, and what we still don't know about KPV's human safety profile.

    Breast Cancer Surgeon: Your Body Whispers Before a Diagnosis with Dr. Beth DuPree

    A cancer diagnosis feels like the loudest wake-up call there is, but according to my guest this week, it's rarely the first one. Long before the diagnosis, the body has usually already been whispering, and most of us have been trained not to listen. In this episode of The Biohacked Method, I sit down with Dr. Beth DuPree, a breast cancer surgeon, integrative healer, and medical futurist, to talk about what she's learned after decades in the operating room: that cutting the cancer out is never the whole story, and that true healing has to include the emotional, energetic, and spiritual layers a diagnosis shakes loose. Dr. Beth and I get into why breast cancer rates are climbing, especially in younger women, why she believes every diagnosis comes with a whisper that showed up long before it, and why treating a symptom with a pill can make you feel better without ever addressing what's actually feeding it. We also go deep into the parts of her work that don't usually make it into a hospital brochure: the patient who changed the entire direction of her career, the suppressed history of psychedelic therapy and why veterans are now leading the fight to bring it back, and why she believes every one of us is a biochemical, bioelectric being with a soul that has a purpose. I also share my own cancer scare and the three lessons it taught me about trusting my body over rushing into fear-based decisions. Dr. Beth DuPree, MD, FACS, ABOIM is a breast cancer surgeon turned integrative healer and medical futurist. After more than a decade in general and breast surgery, she shifted her focus to whole person cancer care, now blending conventional oncology with functional medicine, bioelectric interventions, and psychedelic assisted therapy to help patients heal at every level, not just the physical. She's the author of two books, including Shifting Gears, and is a leading voice in integrative oncology and cancer survivorship.

    Natural Botox Alternative & Why Fascia Is So Important with Cathy Goldstein

    You can do everything right for your body and still not recognize the person looking back at you in the mirror. Not because something is wrong with you, but because your face has been quietly holding onto things your mind moved past years ago. In this episode of The Biohacked Method, I sit down with Cathy Goldstein, an acupuncture physician and the founder of Tru Energy Skincare, to talk about why real anti-aging starts on the inside, and why chasing symptoms instead of root causes leaves so many women stuck feeling off even when their labs come back normal. Cathy and I get into why Chinese medicine treats the whole person instead of one system at a time, why she's never met an autoimmune disorder or chronic illness without an emotional component behind it, and why muscle testing has told her more about her patients than a lab panel ever could. This conversation goes deep into the anatomy of aging too. Cathy breaks down why the muscles in your face work differently than the muscles in the rest of your body, how fascia locks facial expressions into place long after the emotion behind them is gone, and why freezing those muscles with Botox comes with a cost most people never hear about, including its effect on how your kids read your emotions and how you connect with the people you love. We also get into her natural alternative, the Tru Energy system, and her simple rule for anything she puts on her skin: if you're not going against nature, you're going with it. Listen to this episode of The Biohacked Method: Natural Botox Alternative & Why Fascia Is So Important with Cathy Goldstein Cathy Goldstein is an acupuncture physician and energy medicine practitioner who has spent decades helping people get to the emotional and physical root of chronic illness, autoimmune conditions, and premature aging. After her own health crisis with Crohn's disease redirected her from osteopathic school into acupuncture, she went on to create Tru Energy Skincare, a natural facelift system built to release the muscles that age the face instead of freezing them.  Connect with Cathy Goldstein here: Cathy on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cathy-goldstein-ap/ Cathy on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cathygoldsteinap/ Tru Energy Skincare: Website: https://truenergyskincare.com/ IG: https://www.instagram.com/truenergyskincare?igsh=NGFnbGl5aWhqbDlo FB: https://www.facebook.com/truenergyskincare Lindsey Burwell, I'm a certified holistic health practitioner, clinical lab specialist, and metabolic optimization expert, and the founder of The Patch Method, a transdermal biohacking brand redesigning how women support their health without relying on pills and supplements.

    GLP-1 101 for Women: Semaglutide vs Tirzepatide vs Retatrutide Explained

    What is a GLP-1, and is it really just a weight loss drug? GLP-1 medications like semaglutide (Ozempic, Wegovy) and tirzepatide (Mounjaro, Zepbound) were first developed for blood sugar and insulin. Weight loss is the result most people see, but metabolic change is the mechanism underneath. In this first episode of the peptide series on The Biohacked Method, integrated health practitioner Lindsey Burwell breaks down GLP-1s for women. She covers what semaglutide, tirzepatide, and retatrutide actually do in your body, what the research shows, and how to use this class of medications without losing muscle or bone. In this episode, you'll learn: The three molecules, explained simply. Semaglutide is a single agonist, tirzepatide is a dual agonist (GLP-1 plus GIP), and retatrutide is a triple agonist (GLP-1, GIP, and glucagon).Why it's a metabolic drug wearing a weight loss label. Lindsey explains how GLP-1s work on insulin and blood sugar.The research, in plain English. The episode walks through STEP-1, SURMOUNT-1, the head-to-head SURMOUNT-5 trial, SELECT, and the 2026 retatrutide TRIUMPH results.Why weight often comes back after stopping. Lindsey covers what to build while you're on a GLP so the results last.What to eat on a GLP-1. You'll learn how to plate for protein, blood sugar, and fewer side effects.GLP-1 myths, debunked. These include "Ozempic face," muscle loss, thyroid cancer fears, and research-grade peptides bought online. Quick answers: Is tirzepatide more effective than semaglutide? In the SURMOUNT-5 head-to-head trial, tirzepatide led to about 20% average weight loss, compared with about 14% for semaglutide.Do GLP-1s cause muscle and bone loss? Rapid weight loss can reduce both. Resistance training, enough protein, and nutrient-dense meals help protect them. Disclaimer: This episode is for educational purposes only and is not medical advice.

    EMFs, Quantum Energy & Mitochondria: What You Need to Know with Todd Shipman

    You can't see them, and you might not even feel them. But the EMFs from your Wi-Fi router, your phone, and your Bluetooth devices could be putting your nervous system under stress all day. In this episode of The Biohacked Method, I sit down with Todd Shipman, a wellness marketer and strategist with Leela Quantum Tech. Todd used to spend his time calling out scams in the alternative health space. Now he's here to answer the question you keep asking me on Instagram: what is the necklace I wear every day? Todd and I get into what quantum energy actually is, what happens to your brain waves and HRV around EMFs, and how Leela Quantum's frequency tools are designed to harmonize those effects. He shares the micronutrient experiment that changed his mind about quantum tech, the live crab allergy test he did on stage in front of about a thousand people, and what live blood analysis shows before and after EMF exposure. We also cover the difference between the necklace, the frequency cards, and the quantum block, and we go deep on quantum entanglement. This conversation goes beyond the tech too. We talk about why high cortisol cancels out everything else you're doing for your health, why I got healthier once I stopped trying to be perfect, Todd's three core habits of breath, circadian rhythm, and low stress, and why finishing your last meal early can change your sleep. Listen to this episode of The Biohacked Method: EMFs, Quantum Energy & Mitochondria: What You Need to Know with Todd Shipman. Todd Shipman is a wellness enthusiast, entrepreneur, and advocate for quantum technologies that support health and well-being, with expertise in anti-aging, physical performance, and holistic living.

    The Truth About Women’s Hormones & Health with Dr. Laura DeCesaris

    You can be doing everything right, eating clean, taking the right supplements, working with a great practitioner, and still feel deficient, foggy, and stuck.  In this episode of The Biohacked Method, I sit down with Dr. Laura DeCesaris, a functional integrative medicine practitioner who mentors elite health coaches and practitioners on root cause healing, hormones, and inflammation, to break down why more supplements are almost never the answer. Dr. Laura and I get into the supplement absorption epidemic nobody's talking about, why you can be deficient in a vitamin while literally taking that vitamin, and what's actually happening in your gut and liver that determines whether your body can use what you're giving it. We also talk about why chiropractic and bodywork are so much more than cracking a back, the healing power of human touch on the nervous system, and why functional medicine has quietly turned into another twenty supplement protocol business model instead of real root cause care. This conversation goes beyond the physical too. Dr. Laura shares the mastermind question that changed how she works with every client, why believing your body can actually heal is often the missing piece before any protocol works, and how to build small daily pauses into your morning instead of chasing one more biohack. Listen to this episode of The Biohacked Method: Why You're Taking All the Right Supplements and Still Feel Deficient, with Dr. Laura DeCesaris. Dr. Laura DeCesaris is a functional integrative medicine practitioner who mentors elite health coaches and practitioners on root cause protocols for hormones, inflammation, and longevity.
