    Reproductive Longevity, Digital Identity & AI’s Moral Dilemma

    In this episode of the Polymath Podcast,  @KaylaBarnesLentz  and ⁨@HarperCarrollAI⁩  discuss one of the most fascinating and sometimes unsettling frontiers in tech: the rise of AI likeness and what it means for identity, trust, and privacy. From creators debating whether to release their digital avatars to deepfake scandals and misinformation, we explore how generative models are reshaping what “real” even means. Beyond AI, Kayla shares a new longevity update on rapamycin and groundbreaking research on delaying menopause and improving women’s health outcomes. The conversation flows into fertility metrics, egg freezing, and the science behind AMH with a balance of expert insight and personal stories. The episode closes on a reflective note: what secure attachment really feels like, how faith and friendship help rewire our sense of safety, and why true peace often comes from stability not intensity. We explore: ▪️ How the AI likeness era could reshape trust, creativity & consent ▪️ The line between human authenticity and digital identity ▪️ Why rapamycin & fertility research could redefine longevity ▪️ The connection between health, faith & emotional peace ▪️ How secure attachment transforms relationships & everyday calm ▪️ What the next decade of health & AI innovation might look like Follow us on Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/thepolymathpod/ Kayla's social + website: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kaylabarnes/ Website: https://www.kaylabarnes.com/ Follow Her Female Protocol: https://www.protocol.kaylabarnes.com/ Become a Member of Kayla's Female Longevity Membership: https://kayla-barnes-lentz.circle.so/checkout/become-a-member Harper's social + website: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/HarperCarrollAI TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@HarperCarrollAI YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HarperCarrollAI LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/HarperCarroll Website: https://www.harpercarrollai.com/

    AI Disease Prediction, Meta Neural Glasses, US TikTok Deal, Peptides & Gene Therapy Breakthroughs

    In this episode of the Polymath Podcast with Kayla Barnes Lentz and Harper Carroll, we explore the frontiers of health, technology, and longevity. From the Tylenol and pregnancy debate to breakthroughs in gene therapies and peptides, we dig into the science, the controversies, and what they mean for the future of human health. Meta’s neural-band glasses open a new chapter for wearables, while AI systems are already predicting diseases decades before symptoms appear. We also look at TikTok’s algorithm retraining, Microsoft’s chip-cooling innovation, and the race to make biotech and AI more accessible. And throughout, we bring it back to the basics — why sleep, circadian rhythm, and strength training remain the most powerful “biohacks” of all. We explore: ▪️ Why some supplements and over-the-counter drugs can spark huge medical debates ▪️ The promises and risks of peptides in performance and recovery ▪️ How AI collaborations with biotech are accelerating longevity research ▪️ What new chip designs mean for the future of energy and computing ▪️ The line between smart wearables and invasive data tracking ▪️ Why simple habits like sleep and strength training still outperform most “hacks” Chapters:  01:30 – Intro & topics overview 03:50 – Tylenol, pregnancy & autism research debate 10:10 – Vaccine schedules & scientific nuance 11:45 – Meta neural-band glasses & wearables 16:30 – Parasocial culture, Gen Z outlook & Christian responses 24:10 – TikTok ownership shift & algorithm retraining 28:40 – Huntington’s gene therapy trial results 31:00 – AI predicting 1,258 diseases decades in advance 32:10 – OpenAI x Retro Biosciences: cellular reprogramming 35:30 – DeepSeek’s $294k AI model & Nvidia market shock 40:30 – Microsoft’s microfluid chip cooling breakthrough 43:30 – Peptides explained: safety, sourcing & benefits 51:30 – Personal stories: BPC-157 healing injuries 56:00 – Basics that matter most: sleep & circadian rhythm 1:08:50 – Strength training, consistency & long-term health Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thepolymathpod/ Kayla's social + website: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kaylabarnes/ Website: https://www.kaylabarnes.com/ Follow Her Female Protocol: https://www.protocol.kaylabarnes.com/ Become a Member of Kayla's Female Longevity Membership: https://kayla-barnes-lentz.circle.so/checkout/become-a-member Harper's social + website: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/HarperCarrollAI TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@HarperCarrollAI YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@HarperCarrollAI LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/HarperCarroll Website: https://www.harpercarrollai.com/
