    Hormones, Peptides and the New Rules of Women’s Health with Ashley Madsen

    On today’s episode, we sit down with Ashley Madsen, a Physician Assistant and board-certified practitioner through the American Board of Anti-Aging & Health Practitioners and a global educator in longevity medicine, hormone optimization, sexual health, and advanced peptide therapeutics. With advanced training from Stanford and the Institute for Functional Medicine, she integrates evidence-based medicine with cutting-edge innovation as Co-Founder and Clinical Architect of LUMARA Collective, designing next-generation wellness ecosystems for clinics, luxury hospitality, and high-performance individuals worldwide. In this episode, we unpack how precision medicine, peptides, and hormone optimization can transform women’s health at every stage of life. The conversation covers how GLP-1 peptides work beyond weight loss, the risks of DIY peptide use, and why nutrition, sleep, stress management, and metabolic foundations must come before biohacking. We also dive into perimenopause, menopause, and contraception, clarifying the difference between synthetic and bioidentical hormones and exploring smarter, more supportive options for younger women, perimenopausal women, and breast cancer survivors. Top 5 Takeaways for Listeners: 1. Peptides 101 & GLP-1s DemystifiedAshley’s clear breakdown of what peptides are, how GLP-1s affect satiety, metabolism, and inflammation, and how microdosing may support autoimmune conditions like Hashimoto’s—independent of weight loss. 2. The Risks of DIY Peptides & Online “Research” SitesWhy buying peptides online can be dangerous due to sterility issues, incorrect amino-acid sequences, contamination (endotoxins/LPS), improper reconstitution, and lack of medical supervision. 3. Foundations Before BiohackingA strong emphasis on why peptides and GLP-1s won’t be effective if basic pillars like diet, protein, fiber, hydration, bowel movements, sleep, and stress management aren’t solid first. 4. Women’s Hormones as “Life Hormones”Ashley’s explanation of how perimenopause and menopause impact mood, sleep, cognition, bone health, heart health, and metabolism—and why many women in their 40s are misdirected toward anxiety or sleep meds instead of hormone support. 5. Better Options for Young Women & Breast Cancer SurvivorsA nuanced discussion of bioidentical progesterone and testosterone for younger women with heavy periods or low libido, and how even breast cancer survivors may safely use vaginal estrogen, estriol/estradiol, and carefully designed pellets in collaboration with oncologists.

    Biohacking Your Smile with Dr. Ginger Price

    Dr. Ginger Price is a cosmetic dentist with over 35 years of clinical experience who blends traditional dentistry with a holistic, microbiome-centered approach to oral health. Originally a fine arts major, she pivoted into dentistry early in her career and spent decades practicing conventional methods before questioning standard protocols and exploring natural alternatives. Her personal dental journey — including extensive reconstruction after a serious car accident in the 1980s — deeply shaped her empathy for patients and commitment to gentle, effective care. Today, Dr. Ginger is the founder of a clean oral care product line focused on supporting whole-body health through fluoride-free, ingredient-transparent solutions rooted in biohacking and functional wellness principles. Top 10 Key Takeaways from the Episode: 1. The mouth is the gateway to systemic health.Oral health directly affects inflammation, immunity, cardiovascular health, and the microbiome. 2. Conventional dentistry often treats symptoms, not root causes.Dr. Ginger’s holistic approach focuses on prevention, balance, and biological compatibility. 3. Oil pulling is both ancient and effective.Rooted in Ayurvedic medicine, oil pulling helps reduce harmful bacteria and supports gum health. 4. Coconut oil has unique antimicrobial benefits.It suppresses harmful bacteria while making teeth more resistant to plaque adhesion. 5. Xylitol helps prevent cavities naturally.It starves cavity-causing bacteria and supports remineralization without feeding decay. 6. Fluoride has a controversial history.Its widespread use was driven by industry influence, and long-term exposure may affect bones, teeth, and neurological health. 7. Alcohol-based mouthwash can disrupt the oral microbiome.Over-sanitizing the mouth can lead to imbalance and inflammation. 8. Whitening does not need to cause sensitivity.Pairing peroxide with coconut oil allows effective whitening with less irritation. 9. Diet plays a larger role in dental health than most procedures.Sugar intake, nutrient status, and food quality strongly influence tooth decay and gum disease. 10. Simple, clean ingredients work best.Minimal, transparent formulations often outperform complex chemical blends for long-term oral health. Our favorite products from Dr. Ginger’s line: Coconut Oil ToothpasteA fluoride-free toothpaste made with coconut oil and xylitol to gently clean teeth, reduce harmful bacteria, and support the oral microbiome. Coconut Oil MouthwashAn alcohol-free mouthwash that mimics oil pulling to suppress bacteria while keeping teeth smooth and hydrated. Whitening PenA portable, sensitivity-friendly whitening pen that combines peroxide and coconut oil to brighten teeth without damaging enamel. Tooth PowderA minimalist, dry toothpaste alternative designed to polish teeth while supporting enamel and microbial balance. Dental Floss (Two Varieties)Clean, thoughtfully designed floss options that effectively remove plaque without harsh chemicals or unnecessary additives. Tooth TabletsA travel-friendly, low-waste oral care option that delivers gentle cleansing and microbiome support in tablet form.

    Want to Improve Your Eyesight Naturally? Tips from Dr. Meenal Agarwal

    Dr. Meenal Agarwal is a board-certified optometrist and leading authority on the eye-brain connection, redefining vision as a key driver of cognition, longevity, and overall well-being. She integrates optometry, neuroscience, and lifestyle medicine to address the root causes of visual dysfunction, with a special focus on neurovisual health in today’s digital world. A successful entrepreneur, she owns three optometry practices in the Greater Toronto Area and hosts the podcast Uncover Your Eyes: The Truth About Health & Wellness, empowering audiences to see health more clearly—inside and out. In this episode, Dr. Meenal Agarwal reveals how our digital lifestyle may be reshaping our eyes and brains in real time—narrowing our visual field, disrupting spatial awareness, and even influencing anxiety and learning. We explore why kids are developing vision patterns we’ve never seen before, how the simple 20-20-20 rule can re-train the eyes, and why foundational habits like sunlight, movement, and peripheral stimulation matter more than expensive tools or biohacks. From blue light and red light to the truth about contacts, sunglasses, and OCT scans, this episode reframes eye health as a gateway to understanding the nervous system, emotional regulation, and whole-body wellness. Top 3 Takeaways: 1. Our visual systems are being reshaped by modern life.Prolonged screen time narrows our visual field and reduces peripheral stimulation, leading to issues with depth perception, balance, attention, and even emotional regulation. This shift is contributing to a pattern Dr. Meenal identifies as “spatial awareness processing disorder,” especially in children growing up on devices. 2. Foundational habits matter more than expensive interventions.Outdoor time, natural light, movement, eye breaks, and real-world sensory engagement outperform most programs or biohacking devices. Eye health is built from consistent, everyday lifestyle choices that support oxygen flow, circadian rhythms, and neurological development. 3. The 20-20-20 Rule is a non-negotiable habit for screen users. Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds to reset the visual system. This habit is especially important for children, teens, and anyone who struggles with reading fatigue, anxiety while driving, head pressure, screen sensitivity, or motion/coordination issues. This reduces digital eye strain by:• Relaxing the ciliary muscle that controls focus• Expanding peripheral awareness beyond the narrow digital gaze• Supporting tear film stability and reducing dryness from reduced blinking• Training the eyes to shift distance and depth, which screens interrupt How to Connect with Dr. Meenal: Practice Website (book an appointment): https://www.drmeenal.com/ Instagram: @dr.meenal.agarwalFree Newsletter: Link in bio on her Instagram profile Podcast: Uncover Your Eyes: The Truth About Health & WellnessListen here: https://www.drmeenal.com/uncover-your-eyes-with-dr-meenal/⁠ Keep an EYE out for her upcoming book launch!

    What if this Simple Daily Habit Could Relieve Your Back Pain? with Dr. Todd Sinett of BackBridge

    Today we interviewed Dr. Todd Sinett, a second-generation New York City-based chiropractor, founder of the True Whole Care clinic in Midtown Manhattan. He is also the inventor of the incredible BackBridge, a simple, adjustable device designed to gently realign your spine and improve posture by providing progressive stretching for just a few minutes each day. Dr. Sinett is known for his integrative approach to health, emphasizing the importance of addressing the structural, nutritional, and emotional root causes of back pain and overall well-being. About Dr. Todd Sinett: Dr. Sinett developed his unique philosophy of care after witnessing his own father's debilitating back pain in 1975 and his recovery through applied kinesiology—an experience that highlighted the importance of treating the whole person, not just symptoms. This included looking at sugar, carbs and stress as major contributing causes of back pain! He has since dedicated his career to delivering care that blends structural, digestive, and emotional factors, believing that sustainable health requires balance in all these areas. Dr. Sinett has authored seven books, including "Three Weeks to a Better Back" and "The Back Pain Relief Diet Book." Today we discussed his incredible invention called the BackBridge, a spinal wellness tool designed for daily use by anyone seeking to improve posture, flexibility, and decrease pain. Use Code BIOHACKINGBLONDES for 15% off a BackBridge! You won't be disappointed. This is the perfect Christmas gift for anyone who struggles with posture or back pain. ⁠https://thebackbridge.com?sca_ref=10227310.xUEJ3JNsLQl1w55n⁠ Key Takeaways from Today's Episode: Dr. Sinett's approach to back pain and health is holistic, combining chiropractic, nutrition, stress management, and emotional health. So if you go into his office specifically for back pain, you will come out with a diet plan and stress management tools in addition to physiological treatment.The BackBridge was developed to address common postural and mobility issues, and can be safely and progressively used by almost anyone—even those with significant limitations. Using this product twice a day for 2 minutes each time, will give you incredible relief.Diet and digestion play a major role in musculoskeletal health; the quality of bowel movements is a key indicator of digestive well-being.Emotional stress is a major predictor of back pain; Dr. Sinett’s practice uses biofeedback and other methods to measure and manage the physiological effects of stress. Biofeedback is a technique that measures your body's physiological responses—such as muscle tension, heart rate, and breathing—so you can learn to control and improve them for better health and stress management. For example, in Dr. Sinett’s practice, a patient might be connected to sensors that monitor muscle tension, breathing rate, and heart rate variability; by observing these responses to stress, the patient then learns specific breathing and relaxation techniques to bring their body into a healthier, more balanced state.Consistency and simplicity are cornerstones of his philosophy—small, sustainable actions every day have the greatest long-term impact.Dr. Sinett advocates for healthcare that centers around patient needs, with specialists working together instead of in silos.

    Why the Eudēmonia Summit Is the Wellness Event We’re Already Planning to Revisit

    Better late than never! We were playing around with new podcast technology and it took us a while to post this podcast! Sorry for the delay guys! We’re fresh off the Eudēmonia Summit in West Palm Beach and honestly—this one felt special. It wasn’t just the speakers and the cutting-edge longevity stuff; it was the community. It felt like a warm, family-style reunion of people who genuinely want to uplevel their health (or help others do it). We loved how the event was structured too: an expo full of vendors and new tools to try, plus optional morning workout classes, then a full day of talks—with the bigger keynote-style sessions later in the afternoon that you really don’t want to miss. We also got to nerd out on some standout biohacking favorites: NewFit electrical stimulation (which gave real relief fast), the Aescape robotic massage concept, recovery tools like Hyperice, and even a “natural GLP-1” idea we’re curious to explore more. We ended up talking a lot about hormones as well—how often women get dismissed as “too young” to test, why timing in the cycle matters, and how exciting it is to see more accessible options popping up for labs, imaging, and proactive health tracking. Bottom line: we’re going next year, and we think you should too. Get tickets now for a lower price! Eudēmonia Summit: https://eudemonia.net/
