The Constant Chatter About Food in Your Brain Has a Name. And There Is a Fix for It.
1w ago00:54:13Summary readyEveryone is talking about GLP-1s. But most people don't actually understand what GLP-1 is, where it came from, or why the injectable versions come with side effects like hair loss, muscle wasting, sunken face and mood flattening.I sat down with Becca McCarthy, co-founder of Evolv, a biotech company that has spent three years developing a patented oral GLP-1 peptide that mimics the same pathway as semaglutide and retatrutide without the injection, without the prescription and without those harsh side effects.We get into what GLP-1 actually is and why it is a hormone your body already makes, what food noise is and why silencing it changes your relationship with food entirely, why 97% of Americans are metabolically unhealthy and what that means for disease risk, how GLP-1 support helped Becca get through perimenopause when nothing else worked, why their 90-day clinical study is showing 12 pounds lost and 4 inches off the waist at the 8-week mark, how oral bioavailability works and why solving it is the biggest challenge in peptide science, why injectable GLP-1s can cause hair loss and what Evolv is doing differently, the connection between GLP-1s, sleep quality and chronic inflammation, and what is coming next including oral BPC-157 and GHK copper for hair.Get Evolv here:https://cm.watertight.co/l/BZHa🔔 Hit that subscribe button for exclusive access to thought-provoking podcasts, self-growth tips, inspiring guidance, empowerment for bold spirits, and more!https://www.youtube.com/@Biohack-it/?sub_confirmation=1 🔗 Stay Connected With Us.👉 Instagram (Biohack-it): http://instagram.com/biohack_it/ 👉 Instagram (Iman Hasan): http://instagram.com/imanhasan/ 👉 Website: http://biohack-it.com/ =============================🎬 Recommended Playlist👉 Season One https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQWTIuStNqibK2-K-T3GfnIxdLlK_KXMD 🎬 WATCH OUR OTHER VIDEOS:👉 Revolutionize Your Health with Dr. Vincent Pedre: The Transformative Power of Plant Medicine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcvHjUFT0-w 👉 Why Modern Relationships Fail: Expert Insights from Jillian Turecki https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qseduflV5oo 👉 Carolina Reis, PhD on Reversing Aging and Keeping Skin Healthy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOf9SqMYtqg 👉 Dr. John Kim on Debunking Detoxification Myths | Biohack-it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kuQtZ4A_Ao 👉 Inside the Operating Room with New York's Hottest Plastic Surgeons https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sku8y9y-AuM =============================✅ About Biohack-it.Welcome to Biohack-it!

SummaryShe Dissolved Her Filler and It Collapsed Half Her Face. Now She Won't Touch Them
2w ago00:55:48Summary readyI have been obsessed with layered laser treatments ever since I saw what clinics in Korea were doing and started wondering why nobody in the West was offering the same thing. Then I found Rebecca Treston. She has been layering multiple lasers at once for over 20 years and she is doing it better than anyone I have come across.In this episode I sit down with her right after my own treatment and we break down exactly what she did to my skin and why. We get into how the layering method works and why a single laser can never fully address what is happening in your skin, the Stanford BBL study that showed a laser can actually reverse gene expression in aging skin, why she avoids fillers and what happened when a dissolving treatment collapsed one side of her own face, why she stopped doing HIFU and what the long term consequences are of overdoing it, how hormones like testosterone and estrogen show up directly on your skin, what she thinks about the Korea laser trend and why it has no real strategy behind it, the difference between melasma and hyperpigmentation and how to treat each, why she starts patients on collagen banking in their mid 20s, and why she fasted for two weeks straight and looked like she had a facelift.Keywords: Rebecca Treston laser treatment Dubai, layered laser skin treatment, BBL laser gene expression, melasma treatment, collagen banking, laser vs filler, Korean laser trend, skin aging 30s 40s, AviClear acne laser, Biohack-it podcast, inflamaging, skin rejuvenationSponsors:Try Branch Basics:20% off Premium Starter Kit https://branchbasics.com/BIOHACKIT20 Code:Biohackit20🔔 Hit that subscribe button for exclusive access to thought-provoking podcasts, self-growth tips, inspiring guidance, empowerment for bold spirits, and more!https://www.youtube.com/@Biohack-it/?sub_confirmation=1 🔗 Stay Connected With Us.👉 Instagram (Biohack-it): http://instagram.com/biohack_it/ 👉 Instagram (Iman Hasan): http://instagram.com/imanhasan/ 👉 Website: http://biohack-it.com/ =============================🎬 Recommended Playlist👉 Season One https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQWTIuStNqibK2-K-T3GfnIxdLlK_KXMD 🎬 WATCH OUR OTHER VIDEOS:👉 Revolutionize Your Health with Dr. Vincent Pedre: The Transformative Power of Plant Medicine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcvHjUFT0-w 👉 Why Modern Relationships Fail: Expert Insights from Jillian Turecki https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qseduflV5oo 👉 Carolina Reis, PhD on Reversing Aging and Keeping Skin Healthy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOf9SqMYtqg 👉 Dr. John Kim on Debunking Detoxification Myths | Biohack-it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kuQtZ4A_Ao 👉 Inside the Operating Room with New York's Hottest Plastic Surgeons https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sku8y9y-AuM =============================✅ About Biohack-it.Welcome to Biohack-it!

SummaryAfter 20,000 Surgeries This Doctor Says Most of Them Should Never Have Happened
3w ago01:05:45Summary readyhave been wanting to sit down with Dr. Darshan Shah for three years. We finally made it happen at South by Southwest in Austin and it did not disappoint.Dr. Shah is the founder of Next Health, one of the most advanced longevity and functional medicine clinics in the world with over 30 locations. He is also a surgeon who performed over 20,000 procedures and then had a personal health crisis in his early 40s that changed everything. He was 50 pounds overweight, had high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and an autoimmune condition, and was on 10 different medications at the same time.He fixed all of it in 8 months through functional medicine. And he has never gone back.In this episode we talk about the hidden causes of inflammation that show up even in people who think they have a clean lifestyle. Why your toothpaste and Listerine are sabotaging your health. The biomarkers every person should be testing and what optimal actually looks like versus disease state. Why 80 to 90 percent of the surgeries he performed over his career could have been avoided. How AI is now reading thousands of your health data points and finding connections that even experienced doctors miss. What Therapeutic Plasma Exchange actually does to your blood and why it is being used to reverse biological age. The truth about peptides and why buying them without a prescription from online sources is genuinely dangerous. What the NVIDIA founder said about the future of human biology that stopped Dr. Shah in his tracks. And the one functional lab test he would take to a desert island.This is one of the most information dense episodes we have done on Biohack-it. You will want to take notes.Sponsors:Try Branch Basics:20% off Premium Starter Kit https://branchbasics.com/BIOHACKIT20 Code:Biohackit20Rho Nutrition:Check out Rho's Liposomal NAD+ at rhonutrition.com and Use code BIOHACKIT for 20% off sitewide.
SummaryStop Checking Your Sleep Score in the Morning. A Neurologist Explains Why.
4w ago01:11:07Summary readySleep is the one thing I know I need to be better about. And when I found Dr. Chris Winter, I knew he was the person I wanted sitting across from me for this conversation.Dr. Winter is a neurologist and one of the leading sleep experts in the country. He has spent his career working with everyone from elite athletes to everyday people who just cannot get their sleep right. And in this episode, he told me a lot of things I did not expect to hear.We talk about why your Oura ring score is probably making your sleep worse, not better. Why sleeping longer is not the same as sleeping better. What your brain is actually doing while you sleep and what happens when it stops doing it. The link between poor sleep and dementia, and why the research says you can change that outcome even if you carry the gene. How alcohol destroys your sleep even if it helps you fall asleep fast. What a proper melatonin dose actually looks like and why most people are doing it wrong. Why waking up at night is completely normal and not what your tracker is making you think it is. The one supplement combination Dr. Winters says is backed by real research. And why falling asleep in under two minutes is a red flag, not a flex.This episode completely changed the way I think about sleep. I hope it does the same for you.Sponsor:Shop Natrol Ultra Sleep here: https://www.natrol.com/collections/ultra-sleepTry Branch Basics:20% off Premium Starter Kit https://branchbasics.com/BIOHACKIT20 Code:Biohackit20

She Had Acne for 5 Years. Food Cleared It in 3 Days.
Apr 1601:06:46Summary readyI have been wanting to have this conversation on Biohack-it for a long time. And I can personally vouch for everything Maria says in this episode. Maria Marlowe is a world renowned nutritionist who specializes in clearing skin from the inside out. She had severe acne for almost five years, tried every prescription, and was about to take Accutane when she saw the side effects on the label. Instead she changed her diet. Her skin cleared in three months. She went back to school, became a nutritionist, and has spent her career teaching people what their dermatologist never told them. In this episode we break down why everything the skincare industry tells you is backwards. Your skin is not a surface problem. It is a gut problem. We talk about the gut-skin connection, why all acne starts in the gut whether it is hormonal or not, the healthy foods that are secretly driving breakouts (whey protein and biotin are two you need to know about), Chinese face mapping and what where you break out reveals about your hormones and organs, how to choose a probiotic that actually works for your skin, how to read the label so you know you are not wasting your money, and Maria's three day skin reset that people use for emergency clear skin results. This is the episode to send to anyone who has tried every product and is still breaking out. The answer is in the gut. It always has been.

CMO of HERS: “We Have Been Misleading Women For 20 Years. Here Is The Truth About Your Health.”
Apr 900:58:05Summary readyI have waited two and a half years to bring you this conversation. Today, I am joined by the world-renowned OBGYN and women’s health expert, Dr. Jessica Shepherd from HERS. We live in a culture that promises "salvation" through a single shot, a specific pill, or one hormone replacement. But as Dr. Shepherd reveals, the truth about total body optimization is far more complex. This episode is an urgent call for women to reclaim sovereignty over their own bodies and nervous systems. In this masterclass, we discuss: The HRT Lie: Why an entire generation of women was taught to fear hormones and the devastating impact of that misinformation. The GLP-1 Reality: Why your health transformation requires more than just a shot to reach the "best version of you". Total Body Levers: The specific, alternative points of view on medicine that allow you to optimize your health from a cellular level. Personal Expansion: How to bridge the gap between "getting by" and achieving true longevity. If you feel like you’ve been looking for answers in all the wrong places, this conversation will give you the tools to finally pull the right levers for your health.

Your Laundry Detergent Might Be the Most Toxic Thing in Your Life — Branch Basics Explains Why
Apr 200:50:06Summary readyI've been using Branch Basics for five years. It changed my health before I even fully understood why. In this episode I sit down with Allison Love, co-founder of Branch Basics, to break down something most people never think about: the toxic load hiding in your cleaning products, laundry detergent, personal care items and yes, the air inside your own home. We talk about how Allison's co-founder reversed her PCOS not through medication but by changing what she was washing her clothes with. We talk about Marylee, their mentor, whose son went from a healthy, coordinated child to barely being able to lift his head off a pillow after pesticide exposure, and how stripping their home one product at a time brought him back. We also get into why the word "natural" on a label means nothing, how fragrance hides hundreds of toxic chemicals in a single word, why your sanitizers and disinfectants may actually be making you more vulnerable to getting sick, and what the word "fragrance" is legally allowed to conceal. I share my own story too. Ovarian cysts since 15. One ovary reconstructed. Migraines. Inflammation. And how switching my environment, not just my diet, changed everything. If you have kids, pets, or a body, this episode is for you.
