Overview

In this engaging episode of Biohacking Beauty, hosts Amitai and Anastasia sit down with Liz Kennedy, a renowned beauty expert and motivational coach. The conversation goes far beyond standard skincare routines, delving into Liz's holistic "360 approach" to biohacking beauty—where consciousness, community, and self-care practices are just as crucial as topical serums and peptides. Liz shares actionable routines, the paramount importance of community (especially for women), and unfiltered opinions on trends like peptides, NAD injections, cold plunges, and the role of mindset in the experience of beauty and aging.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The 360 Approach to Beauty and Biohacking

[04:41] Liz Kennedy:

• Beauty and biohacking extend far past products and science—it's about your consciousness, daily habits, speech, mental state, and more.
• "In order to truly age well... it’s an accumulation of many things. All the physical aspects of biohacking, to me, is just the cherry on top."
• Physical interventions only work if you’re internally aligned. Otherwise, they might do more harm than good.

2. Magnetism, Confidence, and Inner Healing

[06:38] Liz Kennedy:

• Liz reflects on her TV career, noting that while external makeovers can change appearances, the real transformation is internal.
• "Externally, we ended up giving them what they wanted, but internally they felt damaged still. So many women do the right things externally, but they’re not taking care of themselves at a soul level."
• True magnetism and beauty come when mind, body, and spirit are all engaged.

[08:49] Liz Kennedy:

• "People can lie, but energy never lies...as incredible as biohacking is, what would also happen if we biohacked our consciousness?"

3. Mood, State, and the ‘Autofluorescence’ Effect

[09:34] Anastasia:

• Even without a full beauty routine, being in a good mood leads to more compliments and an unmissable "glow."
• "When you’re in a great state, you sort of induce that...physiologically autofluorescence. You actually glow."

4. Actionable Habits and Pockets of Peace

[11:15] Liz Kennedy:

• Gym sessions, SPF, grounding (like putting hands/feet on earth) are essential physical actions.
• She advocates for "pockets of peace"—finding 5–10 minutes in the car, at the gym, or through simple actions to nurture oneself:
  • "I speak to the universe in my car...I make five to ten minutes throughout my day so it doesn’t feel time-consuming."

5. The Power of Women’s Community

[13:30] Liz Kennedy:

• "Women need other women...if they were able to help each other, elevate one another, share each other's stories, they'd realize they're not alone."
• Community helps routines, provides emotional support, and fosters personal growth.
• "Human connection. AI could never replace human connection." [15:13]
• Social connection is proven to help regulate cortisol and nervous system health.

6. Biohacking for Women & Shifting the Narrative about Aging

[22:47, 23:15]

• Biohacking began as a male-dominated pursuit, but women are increasingly claiming these tools for longevity, energy, and deep sleep.
• Lack of shame: Liz celebrates being in her 30s as her best and sees aging as gaining wisdom and depth.
• "You can choose to see the negative or the good. The present moment is here now...whether you want to or not you are aging. So why not look at it from a lens of positivity?"

7. Consciousness, Affirmations & the Role of Social Media

[28:40] Liz Kennedy:

• Social media is a core tool for spreading "free light"—quick videos to spark mindset shifts.
• The depth of impact, not only reach, matters most in her work.

[34:27–36:17]

• Make self-care moments intentional: do skincare while affirming, “I am magnetic, today will be powerful.”
• “If you don’t believe it as you’re saying it, just keep saying it because...words are spells. As you’re spelling all day long, that’s what you’re creating.”

8. Practical Biohacking Modalities & Trends

[37:55] Liz Kennedy:

• Self-injecting peptides, NAD, Sermorelin, and copper peptides for energy and glow.
• At-home biohacking is now accessible; no need for clinics every time.
• Water quality (use shower filters), tongue scraping, red light therapy, and acupuncture mats.
• Stack habits: combine affirmations, physical self-care, and mindfulness.
• "Everything that’s kind of twofold. Physical, mental...and if you’re doing that all day, that is biohacking."

9. GLP-1, Skinny Shots, ‘Quick Fixes’, and Microdosing

[42:49]

• Liz is not opposed to GLP-1 (e.g., Ozempic) "if used correctly," emphasizing its anti-inflammatory benefits, but cautions:
  • "At the core, there is no cheap, fast solution...it’s a band-aid."
• Microdosing (small, consistent doses) of both NAD and GLP-1 is more beneficial than “all-or-nothing” approaches.

10. Lightning Round & Unfiltered Opinions

[46:36+]

• Red Light vs. Cold Plunge: Red light. “I don’t like cold plunge for women. It’s too shocking.”
• One skincare essential: SPF.
• Aging: “Gracefully or disruptively?”—Both!
• Top biohack for skin: Peptides (“It’s such a hard one to pick!”)
• Most overrated biohack: Cold plunge—good breathing practice, but overly hyped and not always optimal, especially for women.
