DIY Skincare, Hydration Basics & How She Grew Her Glutes | Hydrate Q&A
1w ago00:09:36Tap to summarizeYou have questions, I have answers — and this round is equal parts personal and practical.This is Hydrate Q&A, where I answer the questions you send in. No single guest, no single topic. Just real talk, back to back.We open on something a little more personal — one of you asked about what I've been navigating these past couple of years, and I share honestly about self-worth, fear, and how I stopped outsourcing my value to what other people think of me.Then we get practical. If hydration feels confusing and overwhelming, I share the very first step I tell everyone: stop overthinking it and mimic nature. Filter, re-mineralize, keep it moving.I also spill my whole skincare routine — the stuff I actually make at home — and why I stopped stripping my skin with lasers and peels after realizing I was wrecking my own barrier.And I answer the question I get constantly: how I grew my glutes. Spoiler — it's not what you think, and it involves eating more, not less.Come as you are.What we talk about:- Getting honest about self-worth and where real confidence comes from- The one first step to better hydration (stop overcomplicating it)- The mini trampoline Tracy swears by- The DIY skincare routine she makes in her own kitchen- Why stripping your skin with peels and lasers backfires- How Tracy grew her glutes — and why muscle is the longevity organ- Why she eats more now but carries less fatConnect with Tracy:Website: https://tracyduhs.com/Hydration Shop: https://sanctuarysd.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tracyduhs/Flow FAM Community: https://tracyduhs.com/join-flow-fam/
Transcribe →AI's Hidden Water Cost, Flint's Tap Water & Zero-TDS Myths ft. Martin Riese | Ep. 58
2w ago01:11:15Tap to summarizeIs the "purest" water you can buy actually the worst thing for your body?This week I sat down with Martin Riese, the world's water sommelier and water advocate, the man behind the very first water menu and the guy Netflix, National Geographic, and Buzzfeed all call when they want the truth about water.Martin's been studying water since 2005, and he's built his whole career on debunking the myths the rest of us have been sold. He dropped a bomb early on: the viral "water crystal" science everyone loves came from a man with a fake doctorate who refused a million-dollar offer to replicate his findings in a real lab.Here's what blew my mind: last year, AI data centers used more water than every bottled water company in America combined. And he told me exactly why the "pure" water so many of us chase — the zero-TDS, ultra-filtered kind — can actually strip your body of the minerals it needs to hydrate you at all. He even told me why a Diet Coke can technically hydrate you better than nothing, and unpacked the $5,000 MLM water machine he says has zero proof behind its health claims.After this conversation, you'll never look at your glass of water — or your water bill — the same way again.What we talk about:Why "water sommelier" is a real certified job, not a jokeThe fake doctorate behind the viral water crystal trendWhy filtered water isn't actually dehydrating youThe zero-TDS trick that's fooling people into buying the wrong waterWhy he's against the $5,000 machine everyone's selling onlineWhat Flint, Michigan's tap water actually tasted likeWhy AI data centers might be the next water crisisWhy he refuses supplements, creams, and quick fixesEpisode Links:Website: https://www.martin-riese.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/martinriese/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@martinrieseofficialYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/MartinRieseConnect with Tracy:Website: https://tracyduhs.com/Hydration Shop: https://sanctuarysd.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tracyduhs/Flow FAM Community: https://tracyduhs.com/join-flow-fam/
Transcribe →The Salt Mistake, 3 Daily Supplements & Quitting Raw Vegan | Hydrate Q&A
3w ago00:10:07Tap to summarizeGot a question about your health? I want to hear it — because that's exactly what this new series is all about.This is Hydrate QnA, where I'm answering the questions you've been sending me. No single guest, no single topic. Just real answers to real questions, back to back.First up: the scale versus the mirror. If you're 60 and still chasing a lower number, I explain why body composition matters more than weight, and how progressive overload keeps you strong for the long haul.Then I finally explain the crystals in my fridge — yes, people ask about this constantly — and it's about EMF, not just aesthetics, even though it looks pretty too.I also share the one biohack I'd spend money on before anything else, the only three supplements I take daily, and the electrolyte mistake that's making you bloated instead of hydrated.And I get honest about walking away from raw veganism after three years, even after training as a living foods chef.Five questions. Five real answers. This is just the beginning.What we talk about:- Why chasing a lower number on the scale can work against you after 60- The progressive overload trick for building real muscle- Why there are crystals in Tracy's fridge (it's not just for looks)- The one biohack Tracy says is actually worth the money- The only 3 supplements she takes daily- The electrolyte mistake that's making you bloated, not hydrated- Why she walked away from raw veganism after 3 yearsNew episodes of Hydrate Q&A drop regularly — listen now on all platforms.Connect with Tracy:Website: https://tracyduhs.com/Hydration Shop: https://sanctuarysd.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tracyduhs/Flow FAM Community: https://tracyduhs.com/join-flow-fam/
Transcribe →Why Grass-Fed Beef Is a Grocery Store Lie ft. Anthony Thomas | Ep. 56
4w ago01:10:45Tap to summarizeYou think you know what's in your beef? You don't.This week, I sat down with Anthony Thomas — a 15-year professional rodeo cowboy turned direct-to-consumer rancher who's spent his life raising and butchering beef across multiple countries. He ran away from home at 12, landed on a million-acre cattle station in the Australian outback, and learned to source real food straight from the land long before he ever set foot in an American grocery store.And when he did? He knew something was off. The meat smelled strange. It felt sticky. It left him bloated and foggy. So he started asking why.Here's what blew my mind: Anthony says the grass-fed-versus-grain debate is a distraction. He argues the real problem isn't what the cow eats — it's what gets pumped into the beef after slaughter. Liquids. Nitrates. Red dye. He claims a single pound of grocery-store ground beef can carry the DNA of over 400 animals.Then he dropped a bomb: most "grass-fed, grass-finished" beef on store shelves, he says, is mathematically impossible at scale — and a lot of your "Product of USA" beef may never have come from the USA at all.He also reveals the dead-simple tell that exposes fake grass-fed beef in seconds (hint: look at the fat).After this conversation, you'll never read a meat label the same way again.What we talk about:How running away from home at 12 turned a wild kid into a cowboyWhy your store-bought beef smells sticky and leaves you bloatedThe real reason it might NOT be the grain making you sickDry-aging vs. wet-aging — and why store beef ferments in plasticWhy "grass-fed, grass-finished" barely exists at grocery-store scaleThe one-second fat test that exposes fake grass-fed beefWhere your "Product of USA" beef may actually come fromHow to vet a local rancher before you trust your family's foodListen now on all platforms: Hydrate With Tracy Duhs.Episode Links & Resources:Website: https://www.thomascattleandcatering.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/athorsepower/Connect with Tracy:Website: https://tracyduhs.com/Hydration Shop: https://sanctuarysd.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tracyduhs/Flow FAM Community: https://tracyduhs.com/join-flow-fam/
Transcribe →A UFC Veteran's Take on Recovery, Mindset & Family ft. Josh Thomson | Ep. 55
Jun 1701:32:43Tap to summarizeYou can be the best in the world at something — and still be terrified you'd quit if it ever got hard enough.This week, I sat down with Josh Thomson — a former UFC and PRIDE fighter, Strikeforce World Champion, and 20-year veteran of the sport. For most of his career he treated water, rest, and recovery like weaknesses. Coaches drilled it into him: waters for the weak. Twelve ounces a day. Protein shakes and grit.Then his dad died at 46. And everything changed.Here's what blew my mind: the real turning point in his career wasn't a fight — it was grief. Losing his father flipped a switch. Six liters of water a day. Electrolytes. Ice baths. Actual recovery. His performances exploded.He dropped a bomb about the supplement world too — fighters failing drug tests because of contaminated products they bought right off the shelf. What you're putting in your body might not be what the label says.And the part that stuck with me most? Josh believes 30 to 40 minutes of movement a day would erase most of our mental health struggles. Not the gym. Just a walk.We get into brain trauma, addiction as a superpower, why nobody remembers your name (not even Jordan's), and the note he wrote his kids that I'm stealing for my own.This conversation will change how you think about toughness, recovery, and what actually matters.What we talk about:Why "water's for the weak" was the mantra that wrecked his recoveryThe twelve-ounces-a-day habit he trained on for yearsHow losing his dad rebuilt his career almost overnightThe supplement contamination making fighters fail drug testsWhy the best athletes in the world are secretly addictsThe 30-minute daily habit he swears erases mental health strugglesThe note he wrote his kids that changed how they talk to himWhy nobody will remember your name — and why that's freeingListen now on all platforms: Hydrate With Tracy DuhsEpisode Links & Resources:Podcasts: WEIGHING IN - https://linktr.ee/weighinginpodcast | Dad Dojo - https://www.youtube.com/@DadDojoPodcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/therealpunk/Connect with Tracy:Website: https://tracyduhs.com/Hydration Shop: https://sanctuarysd.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tracyduhs/Flow FAM Community: https://tracyduhs.com/join-flow-fam/
Transcribe →How Porn Rewires the Brain Starting at Age 8 ft. Dr. Trish Leigh | Ep. 54
May 2901:14:48Tap to summarizeYour brain is being hijacked. Quietly, constantly, by the dopamine loops built into every screen you touch — reshaping your focus, your relationships, even your intimacy. It's the silent epidemic of our time. And the wild part? Rewiring it back is simpler than you think.This week, I sat down with Dr. Trish Leigh, a best-selling author and cognitive neuroscientist who maps people's brains from home using EEG and helps them break free from screen and pornography compulsion. She's not theorizing. She survived toxic mold, a cancer diagnosis, and a near-death experience giving birth — and rewired her own brain with the very technology she now uses on clients all over the world.Here's what blew my mind: every real-world pleasure lives on a 1-to-10 scale. Your phone? It's an 11-plus. Supernormal stimuli your brain was never built to handle. She dropped a bomb about kids — a young man's brain isn't fully developed until 28, so a child who finds porn at 8 racks up twenty years of miswiring. And the link she's documented between porn and trafficking? A direct one-to-one.But this isn't a shame spiral. Trish breaks down exactly how to unwire the pull, curate your feed, and reset your pleasure pathways — because there's no such thing as a horizontal spiral. You're going up or you're going down.After this, you'll never look at an innocent scroll the same way again.What we talk about:Why scrolling gives your brain an "11" that real life can't matchThe difference between fast dopamine and the slow kind that actually fulfills youWhy your phone lights up the same circuits as heroinThe shocking age porn starts rewiring kids' brainsThe one-to-one link between porn and human traffickingWhat an at-home EEG headband reveals about your "strained brain"Why your libido is tanking — and it's not your ageThe feed-curating reset that stops the downward spiralListen to the full episode on all platforms: Hydrate With Tracy Duhs.Episode Links & Resources:Website: https://drtrishleigh.com/EEG Headband: https://drtrishleigh.com/muse-headband/ (Use code HYDRATE for a special discount)MIND OVER EXPLICIT MATTER Book: https://drtrishleigh.com/book/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.trishleighofficialConnect with Tracy:Website: https://tracyduhs.com/Hydration Shop: https://sanctuarysd.com/Instagram: @tracyduhsFlow FAM Community: https://tracyduhs.com/join-flow-fam/
Transcribe →Water Is the Internet of Your Biology ft. Dr. Ali Asadi | Ep. 53
May 2201:12:54Tap to summarizeWhat if the most important thing happening inside your body right now isn't a hormone, a supplement, or a nutrient — but something you've been completely ignoring?This week, I sat down with Dr. Ali Asadi, Chief Innovation Officer at TAM Global and a double PhD chemist who spent nearly a decade at Illumina — the world's largest genomics company — before joining the frontier of cancer and stem cell medicine. Trained at the Scripps Research Institute, an institute home to six Nobel Prize winners, Dr. Ali is one of those rare scientists who can make molecular chemistry feel like poetry.Here's what blew my mind: the weakest force in nature — hydrogen bonding — is what holds your DNA together. What shapes every protein in your body. What makes life on this planet possible at all. And without water, none of it happens. Water isn't the backdrop to biology. It is biology.He also dropped something the protein industry doesn't want you to hear: you cannot efficiently build muscle from a protein supplement if that protein isn't wrapped in lipids — because that's how nature packages it. Strip out the phospholipids, strip out the bioavailability.And then there's this: the water in your glass arrived on Earth from asteroids. It is billions of years old. Every sip is the history of the universe.We also got into TAM Global's personalized cancer vaccines — designed from each patient's own genomic signature — and their emerging molecular diagnostic for autism. This conversation will change how you think about water, about your biology, and about what it means to be alive.What we talk about:Why water breaks the laws of chemistry — and why that's the exact reason life exists on this planetThe weakest force in nature is what holds your DNA, proteins, and every cell structure togetherWhy drinking protein shakes without proper lipid encapsulation is largely wasted effortHow slightly alkaline water connects to what your evolutionary biology was designed to drinkWhy every sip of water is literally billions of years of cosmic history arriving from asteroidsWhat TAM Global is building with personalized cancer vaccines designed from your own DNAA molecular fingerprint for autism that could transform diagnosis from behavioral to biologicalListen now on all platforms: Hydrate With Tracy Duhs.Episode Links & Resources:Website: The Tam Center - https://thetamcenter.com | CPI Stem Cells - https://cellularperformanceinstitute.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nanoaliInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetamcenter/Connect with Tracy:Website: https://tracyduhs.com/Hydration Shop: https://sanctuarysd.com/Instagram: @tracyduhsFlow FAM Community: https://tracyduhs.com/join-flow-fam/
Transcribe →The Personalized Cancer Vaccine Targeting Only Your Tumor ft. Ed Clay | Ep. 52
May 1601:13:29Tap to summarizeWhat if the cancer diagnosis your doctor gave you is technically correct — but the treatment they chose has almost nothing to do with your actual cancer?This week, I sat down with Ed Clay, co-founder of TAM Center and Stem Cells, one of the world's most advanced translational medicine hospitals in Tijuana, Mexico. Ed started this journey the way most great things do — out of love. His mom got sick with no options in the US, so he bought a hospital and hired back the staff. She came in in a wheelchair and walked out.But what Ed has built since then? That's what blew my mind. His team — including the former chief of infectious disease at the NIH and the scientist who invented a test that reads 10,000 proteins at once — can sequence 20,000 of your cancer genes. Most US oncologists test 90.He dropped a bomb: there is not a single product on the market right now that can accurately detect cancer early through a blood test. Companies claiming otherwise? He's read their data. It's four patients.He also revealed why two people with the exact same cancer diagnosis can need completely different treatments — and why that distinction could be the difference between responding and not.This conversation will change how you think about what cancer actually is, and what it means to actually fight it.What we talk about:Why "ovarian cancer" in two different women can be two completely different diseases at the genetic levelThe lie behind liquid biopsy tests claiming to detect cancer in your bloodHow TAM goes from discovery to treating a patient in 6–12 months instead of 7 yearsA UFC champion's sister went from "weeks to live" to cancer-free in two months — here's what they foundZombie cells, senescence, and the peptide vaccine that could be the actual fountain of youthWhy combining genomics, proteomics, and methylation data could unlock cures for almost everythingCoffee enemas, Gerson therapy, and what happens to your body on day threeEpisode Links & Resources:Website: The Tam Center - https://thetamcenter.com | CPI Stem Cells - https://cellularperformanceinstitute.com/Podcast: https://www.edclayshow.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/edclayofficialConnect with Tracy:Website: https://tracyduhs.com/Hydration Shop: https://sanctuarysd.com/Instagram: @tracyduhsFlow FAM Community: https://tracyduhs.com/join-flow-fam/
Transcribe →Your Thoughts Are Programming Your Baby's DNA ft. Dr. Elizabeth Wade | Ep. 51
May 801:24:24Tap to summarizeWhat if the biggest threat to your fertility isn't your age, your hormones, or your egg quality — but your thoughts?This week, I sat down with Dr. Elizabeth Wade, a naturopathic fertility and hormone specialist who has built her practice around one radical idea: you cannot biohack your way out of an unhealed inner world.Elizabeth didn't arrive at this from a textbook. She was doing everything right — organic food, filtered water, air purifiers in every room — and still felt something was deeply, quietly wrong. After a separation, a mold crisis, a lost nanny, and a grief she was barely holding, everything collapsed at once. And in that collapse, she found the thread her patients kept pulling on too.Here's what blew my mind: she told me the number one influence on what genes you pass to your children isn't your supplements or your diet. It's your thoughts. Your epigenetic expression — what your kids inherit — is shaped by how you perceive the world right now. She dropped another bomb: the "infertility" label is applied to couples who haven't conceived in a year, but only about 1–2% of people are truly sterile. That word is doing enormous psychological damage. And here's one I wasn't ready for — a study found that when someone in your household takes antibiotics, your gut microbiome diversity drops too. Even if you never took a single pill.She also revealed that sperm quality has collapsed — current averages hover around just 4% normal morphology — and that men are largely left out of the fertility conversation entirely, even though miscarriages can be caused by sperm DNA fragmentation.After this conversation, you'll never look at the preconception window the same way.What we talk about:Why your thoughts are the #1 factor in the genes you pass to your childrenHow the word "infertility" is causing unnecessary harm to couples who will likely conceiveThe collapsing sperm crisis — and why men are still being ignored in fertility careWhy your baby is not starting as a clean slate (300+ chemicals in cord blood at birth)How obsessively tracking your ovulation cycle may actually be working against youThe microbiome you share with your partner — and what their antibiotic use does to yoursHow to start thinking like you're already pregnant, before you ever take a testEpisode Links & Resources:Dr. Elizabeth's Website: https://www.drelizabethwade.com/fertilityreclaimedInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.elizabethwade/Connect with Tracy:Website: https://tracyduhs.com/Hydration Shop: https://sanctuarysd.com/Instagram: @tracyduhsFlow FAM Community: https://tracyduhs.com/join-flow-fam/
Transcribe →The Hidden Energy System Behind Every Disease | Dr. Sue Morter
May 101:07:50Tap to summarizeWhat if the symptoms in your body aren't a malfunction — they're a message? And what if disease isn't caused by your genetics or bad luck, but by unresolved emotions you've been quietly suppressing for years?This week, I sat down with Dr. Sue Morter, bioenergetics physician and author of the USA Today #1 bestseller The Anatomy of Awakening. Her father literally coined the term "bioenergetic medicine" in the 70s — and Dr. Sue has spent decades proving that your body's energy field is the master blueprint behind every other system you've got.Here's what blew my mind: your disposition creates your chemistry — not the other way around. Your thoughts, beliefs, and subconscious patterns are sending 24/7 signals to every single cell, telling it all is well... or that there's still a bear in the room. Even if the bear left ten years ago.She dropped a bomb: the thalamus and hypothalamus — the two brain regions meant to keep your conscious and subconscious talking — go completely offline in chronic stress. Your body literally stops knowing it's safe. And felt love, not positive thinking, is 5,000 times more potent at healing the bio field than any thought you can think.After hearing this, you'll never look at your symptoms — or your triggers — the same way.What we talk about:Why your body is still locked in a crisis that ended years agoHow suppressed emotions steal energy directly from healing, digestion, and cellular repairThe quantum science behind why you keep creating exactly what you're afraid ofWhy "where do I feel this?" is more powerful than "why is this happening to me?"The mind-body-breath triad — and what breaks down when you only use one of the threeA 90-second physical reset you can do mid-argument to stop fight-or-flight instantlyWhy the people who trigger you most are actually your greatest teachersEpisode Links & Resources:Dr. Sue Morter's Website: https://drsuemorter.com/The Anatomy of Awakening Book: https://drsuemorter.com/books/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drsuemorter/Connect with Tracy:Website: https://tracyduhs.com/Hydration Shop: https://sanctuarysd.com/Instagram: @tracyduhsFlow FAM Community: https://tracyduhs.com/join-flow-fam/
