    A Revolutionary Education Model Our Children Deserve -- with Tara Famularo-Del Bianco of The Magnolia Schoolhouse

    In this episode, we sit down with Tara Famularo-Del Bianco — a child advocacy attorney, passionate educator, and founder of The Magnolia Schoolhouse in Florida, a nonprofit homeschool learning center rooted in Montessori principles and family-first values. Tara shares her inspiring journey from the courtroom to the classroom, where she now cultivates a nurturing, health-focused, screen-free environment designed to support the whole child — mind, body, and spirit. Molly reflects on how the school has transformed her daughter’s relationship with learning, and Tara shares her deep commitment to preserving childhood, supporting families, and reimagining education with love and intention. You’ll walk away inspired to reimagine what school can be — one rooted in connection, creativity, and true curiosity. Tara is not just building a school — she’s nurturing a movement. This conversation is a must-listen for anyone curious about alternative education, conscious parenting, or the future of learning itself. Key takeaways from this conversation: Why early childhood is sacred — and how protecting it from overstimulation is essential for emotional and cognitive development. Why delaying technology matters — How a screen-free, hands-on environment nurtures critical thinking, emotional resilience, and authentic self-awareness during the most formative years of brain development. Once a child’s cognitive and neurological foundation is solid — typically around age 14 — technology can then be introduced as a tool, not a teacher. And contrary to popular belief, kids at that age pick it up very quickly. The role of nutrition, nature, and real-life skills in shaping not just smart students, but healthy, happy human beings. The importance of community, and how parents are empowered as core partners in their child's educational journey. The future of Magnolia, including expansion into middle and high school and interest from families nationwide to replicate this model of mindful education. If you are a teacher or a parent interested in starting a Magnolia school near you, please reach out to Tara for more details.

    Healing with Breath: Intermittent Hypoxia Training with Karim Chubin

    In this episode of Biohacking Blondes, we sit down with Karim Chubin, a Swiss naturopath, nutritionist, and founder of a pioneering breathing lounge in Geneva. Trained in Russia, Germany, and the U.S., Karim integrates adaptogenic medicine, emotional mapping, and mitochondrial therapies into a powerful, nature-rooted approach to healing. Karim shares how his own health journey—including a post-COVID recovery—led him to explore the power of oxygen-based therapies like intermittent hypoxia-hyperoxia training (IHT). We unpack how Cellit IHT works at the cellular level to support mitochondrial resilience, enhance oxygen efficiency, and regulate stress, and how it’s now expanding from Europe to the U.S. But this conversation goes far beyond technology. Karim offers an intimate look at his daily rituals—like starting the morning with classical music, using red light therapy, and fueling his body with broths, sardines, and mineral-rich whole foods. He reflects on the limitations of data-driven wellness, the overstimulation of modern life, and why true healing requires emotional clarity, environmental simplicity, and deep inner stillness. Key Takeaways How Cellit IHT enhances energy, focus, and resilience through oxygen modulation What makes Cellit different from other hypoxic devices and protocols Karim’s thoughts on emotional stagnation, mitochondrial dysfunction, and why the two are often connected The ancestral foods he relies on daily for gut and brain health Why music, light, and contrast are his favorite “free biohacks” How he balances high-tech modalities with intuition and simplicity The cultural divide between European and American wellness trends His vision for breathing lounges in the U.S. and practitioner training opportunities Resources and Links Visit: karimchubin.comFollow: @karimchubin on Instagram Contact Alex Cochrane to purchase an IHT machine: alexandra@scandilabs.io 772-588-4798

    What’s in Your Water? with Helen Christoni of AquaTru

    In this episode we interview Helen Christoni, a passionate voice behind AquaTru—the countertop reverse osmosis system changing how we think about drinking water. Helen shares her personal biohacking journey, including her deep dive into clean hydration and the hidden dangers lurking in municipal tap water. From PFAS to fluoride, microplastics to chlorine, AquaTru’s NSF-certified filters remove over 80 harmful contaminants, delivering high-quality water without the cost or hassle of whole-house systems. Helen also opens up about how cleaner water dramatically improved her father’s health and explains why most filters—including Brita—just don’t cut it. She offers practical tips for airport travel, breaks down the environmental dangers of bottled water, and reminds listeners that clean water isn’t a luxury—it’s foundational health. If you’ve been wondering whether your water is working for you or against you, this episode is a must-listen. Key Takeaways: Your Tap Isn’t Safe: Municipal water systems often contain dangerous “forever chemicals,” microplastics, heavy metals, and pharmaceuticals. AquaTru Filters Work: AquaTru uses a four-stage NSF-certified reverse osmosis system that removes over 80 contaminants—including fluoride, chlorine, lead, PFAS, and more. Health Starts with Water: Drinking and cooking with purified water can reduce toxic burden and improve hydration, digestion, and energy. Better Than Brita: Compared to popular pitcher filters, AquaTru is significantly more effective and longer-lasting—and doesn’t just “mask” contaminants. Eco-Friendly & Cost-Effective: AquaTru reduces the need for plastic water bottles, saving money and the planet. Action Items: ✅ Explore AquaTru Countertop Water Purifiers (use this link to show the Biohacking Blondes discounts)✅ Check your local tap water report at EWG’s Tap Water Database✅ Replace plastic bottles with stainless steel or boxed water alternatives✅ Be mindful of water quality when traveling—avoid plastic airport bottles when possible✅ Start cooking with purified water, not just drinking it Connect with AquaTru: Website: www.aquatru.com Instagram: @aquatruwater@helenchristoni

He explains how nootropics, amino acids, cofactors, and absorption enhancers work together to emulate the feel-good aspects of alcohol without the hangover, and shares early wins: Berry Bramble, Ginger Miso Mule, and Spicy Watermelon Margarita are favorites among families and young professionals. Philip also addresses the wider cultural shift away from alcohol, Do’Mo’s US success, and future plans that include new flavors and broader reach.

    Self-Acupuncture Training with Susan Jones

    In this episode of the Biohacking Blondes Podcast, we sit down with Susan Jones—a licensed psychologist and acupuncturist—who teaches self-acupuncture as a practical, powerful tool for healing. Susan shares her journey from traditional talk therapy to Eastern medicine, revealing how acupuncture helped her go deeper with clients who weren’t getting results elsewhere. She breaks down how different organs relate to emotional states (like fear in the kidneys or grief in the lungs), and how opening blocked meridians can shift both physical symptoms and mental patterns. We talk about fertility, chronic pain, facial acupuncture for collagen support, and how even one needle a day can spark real transformation. Susan also offers insight into how coffee may be draining your kidney energy and why acupuncture is about more than just the needles—it’s about returning to balance, rhythm, and inner connection. Alex and Molly both took her two-day training course and can't stop talking about the benefits! Key Takeaways: Learn how to safely practice self-acupuncture at home—even if you’ve never tried it before. Emotional symptoms like anxiety, anger, and sadness often link to specific organ imbalances. Acupuncture supports both prevention and deep healing—from migraines to hormone health. You don’t need 100 needles or a clinic—just the right points, consistency, and guidance. Susan makes ancient medicine accessible, empowering anyone to take control of their health.
