Female Biohacking Mastery: Protocol for Sleep, Gut, and Longevity
Key Takeaways
In this episode of Well with Arielle Lorre, longevity expert Kayla Barnes shares her comprehensive approach to female biohacking, detailing a protocol that balances high-tech interventions with foundational health habits. Barnes discusses her transition from a standard American diet to a data-driven lifestyle, emphasizing that women have unique biological needs, such as prioritizing sleep and adjusting intensity based on the menstrual cycle, that are often overlooked in male-centric research.
From optimizing the gut and oral microbiomes to managing a “total toxic burden,” the conversation provides a roadmap for women looking to take control of their long-term health, skin, and vitality through personalized testing and consistent, actionable routines.
Foundational Habits for Longevity
- High-quality sleep is identified as the most critical pillar for health, with a recommendation for women to be in bed by 10:00 PM to align with natural hormone production.
- Morning sunlight exposure for 10 to 30 minutes is essential for jump-starting the circadian rhythm and improving daytime focus.
- Consistent physical movement, including both cardiovascular training and heavy compound lifts, is necessary for maintaining bone density and muscle mass as women age.
- Mastering these basics can provide up to 95% of the desired health benefits, making high-tech tools secondary to a solid daily foundation.
Optimizing the Gut and Detoxification
- The gut is viewed as the foundation of health; improving gut markers often leads to clearer skin, better energy, and reduced brain fog.
- A “total toxic burden” test can reveal hidden heavy metals and chemicals from personal care products, which women are exposed to at nearly double the rate of men.
- Detoxification strategies include using infrared saunas four times a week and taking binders like charcoal to help the body eliminate processed toxins.
- Using resources like the Environmental Working Group can help individuals swap out toxic household and beauty products for cleaner alternatives.
Advanced Biohacking and High-Tech Tools
- Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) is utilized for its potential to lengthen telomeres and improve brain health by flooding tissues with oxygen.
- Red light therapy is used both topically for skin and hair health and intranasally to support mitochondrial function in the brain and ovaries.
- Pulse Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy is described as “grounding on steroids,” helping to put the body into a relaxed, parasympathetic state.
- Innovative treatments like ozone saunas and stem cell banking offer proactive ways to manage health and prepare for future recovery needs.
Female-Specific Biology and Cycle Syncing
- Women are encouraged to recognize that their bodies require more recovery and sleep than men, particularly during the luteal and menstrual phases.
- Intense “biohacks” like cold plunging and fasting should be focused in the follicular phase when the body is naturally more resilient to stress.
- The rapid aging of ovaries compared to other organs highlights the need for targeted interventions, such as low-level laser therapy or specific supplements like rapamycin.
- Addressing the root causes of PMS, such as gut imbalances or estrogen dominance, can lead to a cycle that is free of debilitating symptoms.
The Future of Skin Longevity
- Skin health is increasingly viewed through the lens of internal biological age and the health of the skin’s unique microbiome.
- Future developments in skincare may include the use of exosomes, NAD+, and even “young mitochondria” infusions to reverse signs of aging.
- Lasers and innovative tightening procedures like “Softwave” offer ways to maintain skin elasticity without relying solely on traditional neurotoxins.
- Confidence and social connection are recognized as vital components of longevity, suggesting that whatever aesthetic choices a woman makes should support her overall sense of well-being.
Key Video Highlights
Why do women need a different biohacking protocol than men?
[04:45] Historically, medical research has been conducted by men, for men; even female mice were excluded until recently. Women experience significant hormonal fluctuations throughout the month, whereas men operate on a consistent 24-hour cycle. Protocols for fasting, cold therapy, and high-intensity exercise must be adjusted to the female cycle to avoid thyroid decline and hormonal dysregulation.
How does the “Gut-Hormone Axis” impact skin and overall health?
[06:43] The gut is the foundation of health; when it is optimized, issues like brain fog, bloating, and skin conditions often resolve. Specifically, the “estrobolome” in the gut manages estrogen metabolism; if gut health is compromised by bacteria or antibiotics, it can lead to elevated estrogen levels and debilitating PMS symptoms that many women have wrongly normalized.
What are the best strategies for managing Sleep & Insomnia?
[15:26] High-quality sleep is the “number one pill” for longevity. Women generally require 45 to 60 minutes more sleep than men, especially during the luteal phase. Essential tactics include getting 10-30 minutes of morning sunlight to set the circadian rhythm, stopping food intake 3-4 hours before bed, and maintaining a cold, pitch-black room at 65°F to allow for deep, restorative sleep cycles.
Why is VO2 Max training essential for female longevity?
[24:42] VO2 Max is a critical cardiovascular age metric. Kayla Barnes recommends a “Norwegian 4×4” protocol; modified for women as 4 minutes of high-intensity work followed by 6 minutes of rest; twice a week. This, combined with compound lifts and jumping, helps build bone density and muscle mass, which are vital for preventing frailty and falls after menopause.
How can women reduce their “Total Toxic Burden”?
[08:49] Women leave the house with nearly double the toxic chemicals on their bodies compared to men due to makeup, fragrance, and hair products. These toxins contribute to the fact that 80% of autoimmune conditions occur in women. Reducing this burden involves swapping to organic mattresses, using high-quality air filtration, and checking products through resources like the Environmental Working Group (EWG).

00:00:00.080 if there was one pill for longevity like
00:00:01.920 it would be exercise like exercise or
00:00:03.840 high quality sleep if you’re listening
00:00:05.279 to this and you don’t know where to
00:00:06.480 start just go to bed early wake up get
00:00:08.080 some morning sun in your eyes of course
00:00:09.920 you don’t want to stare right at the sun
00:00:11.120 don’t harm yourself and then do a quick
00:00:12.960 workout and do whatever you can like
00:00:14.639 make your goals reasonable that you’ll
00:00:16.400 actually stick to them so what are the
00:00:18.240 quote unquote craziest or most out there
00:00:21.039 treatments or things that you have done
00:00:22.960 that either did or did make a difference
00:00:24.720 for you yeah I’ve done pretty much
00:00:26.400 everything I think from different types
00:00:28.240 of stem cells to every IV therapy on the
00:00:31.519 market peptides i had a Dexcom having
00:00:34.000 data on your body and being able to
00:00:36.719 change how you feel in the moment the
00:00:38.879 trajectory of your longevity is really
00:00:40.719 exciting it’s 2025 and we don’t know why
00:00:43.280 the ovaries age at double the speed that
00:00:45.280 every other organ does i mean to me
00:00:46.719 that’s wild so at that point I’m just
00:00:48.399 like I have to take this into my own
00:00:49.680 hands we can’t sit around and wait for
00:00:52.079 all of these randomized controls trials
00:00:54.320 to catch up because we’re just so far
00:00:56.000 behind right now what surprised you the
00:00:57.920 most when you started doing all of this
00:00:59.600 testing in your lab work i think there’s
00:01:01.359 a lot of things that us women have
00:01:02.800 normalized like what hot girls have gut
00:01:04.959 issues i know this hot girls get bloated
00:01:07.360 yeah exactly i think that just because
00:01:09.360 something is really common doesn’t mean
00:01:11.280 it’s normal
00:01:13.840 welcome Kayla thank you so much for
00:01:15.920 having me so excited to talk to you
00:01:18.400 we’ve been talking for a little bit
00:01:20.000 prior to recording and I mean there’s so
00:01:24.640 much that we need to go over today
00:01:27.119 everything from anti-aging to longevity
00:01:30.240 as it comes to your health overall
00:01:32.720 well-being skin all of that um so we’re
00:01:36.159 going to be diving into all of those
00:01:37.360 topics today but I would love to just
00:01:39.439 hear about your trajectory to female
00:01:42.320 biohacker because I know that you didn’t
00:01:44.479 grow up like quote unquote healthy and
00:01:47.119 it was not always your lifestyle totally
00:01:49.920 um yeah i mean I didn’t grow up healthy
00:01:51.520 and I also didn’t grow up rich contrary
00:01:53.520 to some people on the internet’s opinion
00:01:56.079 um I started you know I’ve always been
00:01:57.920 an entrepreneur so um at like 17 I had
00:02:00.479 no clue what I was doing back then i
00:02:01.840 just said yes to things and I was like
00:02:03.360 running my own business so um it all
00:02:05.520 ended up working out and back then I
00:02:08.560 knew in order to have the life I really
00:02:10.318 wanted I was going to have to upgrade my
00:02:12.200 biology and when I say that I mean I
00:02:14.640 knew I was going to have to work really
00:02:15.840 long hours i was going to have to have
00:02:17.599 like the mental stamina um so at the
00:02:20.720 time I you know many years ago I was
00:02:22.640 studying nutrition originally in college
00:02:24.879 and I just got the spark like oh let’s
00:02:27.280 change my diet a little bit i grew up on
00:02:28.800 a very standard American diet pop-tarts
00:02:31.120 you know things that I don’t deem as
00:02:32.959 food now these are like foodl like
00:02:34.640 substances um and that combined with you
00:02:37.440 know being an entrepreneur and wanting
00:02:38.959 to work harder longer hours I just
00:02:41.200 changed what I eat i I was eating and I
00:02:44.160 felt so much better and then I got
00:02:45.519 really obsessed with this idea like okay
00:02:47.200 if food can make that big of a
00:02:49.040 difference what else can I do here and I
00:02:51.599 just started to explore i really got
00:02:53.840 deep into it about 5 years ago so um
00:02:56.319 when I was getting ready to open the
00:02:58.319 longevity clinic that I own um I ordered
00:03:01.440 tons of tests so I was like “Okay what
00:03:02.959 are we going to offer here what type of
00:03:04.560 testing are we going to do what type of
00:03:06.080 therapies what protocols?” And so I
00:03:08.239 ordered almost every test that I could
00:03:10.080 find started to do them on myself and I
00:03:12.640 started to get the data back and all
00:03:15.280 these tests first of all my doctor had
00:03:16.879 never recommended that I do i had never
00:03:18.720 heard about the test i’ve never had a
00:03:20.080 gut test i never looked at the amount of
00:03:21.519 toxins in my body i had never looked
00:03:24.239 like in-depth at my cardiovascular
00:03:26.319 markers it was always just bas basic
00:03:28.000 stuff so as this test started coming
00:03:30.319 back um I was having more conversations
00:03:32.799 with clinicians at the time you know
00:03:34.560 doctors and um nurse practitioners uh
00:03:37.280 all around the world that have similar
00:03:38.959 clinics and they were starting to
00:03:40.560 recommend different types of therapies
00:03:42.319 um Hbot Ned uh different IV therapies uh
00:03:47.519 methylene blue so I just started trying
00:03:49.599 these things and this was 5 years ago um
00:03:52.239 so I got super excited about optimizing
00:03:54.799 all my labs back then and just you know
00:03:56.959 I’m a very committed person so I’m like
00:03:58.879 let’s mix this entrepreneurial journey
00:04:00.640 with um you know what I was learning
00:04:03.280 with these labs and you know having a
00:04:05.120 clinical practice and um yeah now now
00:04:08.000 we’re here so I’ve done pretty much
00:04:10.879 everything I think um you know from
00:04:13.280 different types of stem cells to every
00:04:16.238 IV therapy on the market peptides
00:04:18.720 starting like 6 7 8 years ago i had a
00:04:21.600 Dexcom like way back when way before
00:04:24.240 they were like direct to consumer and
00:04:26.479 it’s been so much fun i think having
00:04:28.240 data on your body and being able to
00:04:31.680 change how you feel in the moment and
00:04:34.960 the trajectory of your longevity is
00:04:36.880 really exciting and um I’m so happy to
00:04:39.680 be doing it as a woman right because
00:04:42.240 this has been a boys club for a very
00:04:44.320 long time and I’m so grateful right i
00:04:45.919 know all the the male leaders in the
00:04:48.080 space and I’m so happy that they helped
00:04:50.080 to pave the way but as I when I began
00:04:53.040 this journey I was doing these four men
00:04:55.199 by men protocols because the medical
00:04:56.880 literature is on men so that’s what’s
00:04:59.360 out there and I was watching you know my
00:05:02.080 thyroid health decline i was watching my
00:05:03.680 hormones become disregulated i was
00:05:05.919 watching things go in the wrong
00:05:08.000 direction because the intensity was way
00:05:10.800 too much so that’s how I got started in
00:05:12.639 it and you can go into the rest later
00:05:15.120 yeah i was just thinking I was listening
00:05:16.800 to a podcast in the last few days about
00:05:19.039 menopause and I can’t remember the study
00:05:21.600 that the doctor was talking about but
00:05:23.120 she was talking about this idea that
00:05:24.960 women are not little men and she was
00:05:27.600 talking about how historically women
00:05:29.120 have been completely excluded from
00:05:30.639 research and she said “With this one
00:05:32.639 medication or in this one study in
00:05:34.479 particular they didn’t even test on
00:05:36.800 female mice.” She was like “Even the
00:05:39.039 mice are men.” Yeah it’s it’s wild so
00:05:41.680 women weren’t required to be included in
00:05:43.600 research um until the early 1990s right
00:05:46.639 so I mean basically as long as I’ve been
00:05:48.720 around and not only have we not been
00:05:52.320 included but we’re still I mean it’s
00:05:54.039 2025 and we don’t know why the ovaries
00:05:56.720 age at double the speed that every other
00:05:58.479 organ does i mean to me that’s wild so
00:06:00.800 at that point I’m just like I have to
00:06:02.160 take this into my own hands some things
00:06:03.759 may work really well some things may not
00:06:06.080 but we can’t sit around and wait for all
00:06:09.440 of these randomized controls trials to
00:06:11.680 catch up um because we’re just so far
00:06:13.919 behind right now of course I mean I love
00:06:15.520 science i love randomized control trials
00:06:17.600 but for me I’m like I’m just doing all
00:06:19.520 these labs i think I’m one of the most
00:06:21.120 you know measured women um on the planet
00:06:23.440 i’m doing the labs i’m doing
00:06:25.039 interventions and then I’m posting you
00:06:26.720 know my results um to the best of my
00:06:28.720 ability what surprised you the most when
00:06:31.039 you started doing all of this testing in
00:06:33.360 your lab work it really was I think the
00:06:35.600 toxic burden well I think it’s two
00:06:37.120 things number one how important the gut
00:06:38.880 is because if you can fix your gut
00:06:41.120 everything else improves right so one of
00:06:43.199 the biggest things for me is skin issues
00:06:46.720 and the marketing around skin products
00:06:48.720 to women i think there’s a lot of things
00:06:50.479 that us women have normalized so like
00:06:52.880 what hot girls have gut issues is this
00:06:54.960 like the thing um no this hot girls get
00:06:58.000 bloated yeah exactly but I don’t think
00:07:00.560 we should accept that i think that just
00:07:02.560 because something is really common
00:07:04.319 doesn’t mean it’s normal um so number
00:07:06.960 one learning that the gut is the
00:07:08.479 foundation of the health and I didn’t
00:07:10.000 even know that I had any issues with my
00:07:11.440 gut back then i thought everything was
00:07:12.720 fine like I really didn’t have any
00:07:14.240 symptoms but once I really took it from
00:07:17.039 like decent to great on my labs so a gut
00:07:20.319 test will show you like dispiosis
00:07:22.599 inflammation any viruses pathogens
00:07:25.520 bacteria in the gut so basically there’s
00:07:27.520 a number so it’s like 0 to 10 and I went
00:07:31.280 from having like mid so like five it’s
00:07:33.520 okay to having a really great test so
00:07:36.240 almost all zeros and one two um so when
00:07:39.440 I did that everything else improved skin
00:07:41.360 brain fog energy sleep everything
00:07:43.759 improved um once cuz the gut I really
00:07:45.919 feel is the foundation of health and I
00:07:47.599 think the second thing is when I did my
00:07:49.919 first total toxic burden um a total
00:07:52.319 toxic burden is measuring environmental
00:07:54.160 toxins molds and micotoxins and heavy
00:07:56.479 metals you know I was leading an
00:07:58.560 incredibly what I felt like to be a very
00:08:00.560 clean life i was eating organic at the
00:08:02.960 time and when I got my first results
00:08:05.120 back I was quite shocked i was like “Oh
00:08:06.720 why do I have some of these heavy metals
00:08:08.479 where am I getting them from some
00:08:10.240 parabens some phalates and when I
00:08:12.960 started to dive deeper and look at these
00:08:15.360 um personal care products that I was
00:08:16.960 using I was finding that you know some
00:08:19.120 of them had some known toxic chemicals.”
00:08:22.479 And um of course we know everything is
00:08:24.639 made up of a chemical but when I’m
00:08:26.160 talking about like known toxic chemicals
00:08:28.400 these are things that we know um are
00:08:30.639 linked to negative health outcomes so I
00:08:33.360 was pretty uh shocked by that yeah and I
00:08:35.360 heard you talking on another podcast
00:08:37.120 when it comes to total toxic burden
00:08:39.519 women have twice the load essentially as
00:08:42.320 men have because of the personal care
00:08:44.240 products cleaning products things like
00:08:45.680 that that we’re exposed to right yeah
00:08:47.600 yeah it’s estimated we don’t have an
00:08:49.279 exact figure but it’s estimated that
00:08:50.800 women leave the house with about double
00:08:52.399 the amount of known you know toxic um
00:08:54.959 chemicals on their body than men because
00:08:56.640 think about it we have shampoo hairspray
00:08:58.560 fragrance fragrance is like one of the
00:08:59.920 worst offenders because they can just
00:09:02.240 put anything really under a trade secret
00:09:04.000 so they don’t even have to disclose
00:09:05.360 what’s in the product which is and think
00:09:07.360 about where you’re spraying it you’re
00:09:08.399 spraying it like on your lymph nodes and
00:09:10.000 your thyroid and you know and then women
00:09:12.160 have 80% more auto 80% of the autoimmune
00:09:15.200 conditions are women so yeah I mean we
00:09:17.600 definitely are experiencing higher toxic
00:09:19.680 loads but the other interesting thing is
00:09:21.680 that women actually detox slower as well
00:09:24.320 so we know that women need more sleep
00:09:26.480 than men which was also kind of a big
00:09:28.160 thing in terms of differences between
00:09:30.240 female and male longevity protocols um
00:09:32.800 but one of the reasons it could be is um
00:09:36.160 that we take a little bit longer to uh
00:09:38.399 detox because we prioritize fat storage
00:09:41.040 more so than men right because we kind
00:09:42.720 of need a little bit more fat in certain
00:09:44.560 areas um to have children so that was
00:09:46.880 also a pretty interesting finding but I
00:09:49.519 love that there’s a resource called the
00:09:50.720 Environmental Working Group don’t be
00:09:52.480 overwhelmed if you’re listening to this
00:09:53.760 podcast you can go there and just type
00:09:55.839 in the brand that you’re using and it’ll
00:09:57.360 give you a score and you can start to
00:09:59.200 learn like what products or uh
00:10:00.800 ingredients to try to avoid and then you
00:10:03.200 can start just swapping out products for
00:10:05.200 you know more more clean ones over time
00:10:07.120 i want to rewind a little bit to the gut
00:10:09.279 since it is so foundational and
00:10:11.120 obviously you know recommendations would
00:10:13.040 vary depending on each person and
00:10:16.000 whatever they’re dealing with whatever
00:10:17.519 pathogens viruses overgrowths um
00:10:20.560 deficiencies whatever they are
00:10:23.040 experiencing but are there any like
00:10:25.440 universal things that you think that
00:10:26.800 people should be doing when it comes to
00:10:28.880 either their nutrition supplementing
00:10:31.760 things like that when it comes to the
00:10:33.760 gut yeah absolutely yeah you’re right
00:10:36.079 it’s very bio-individual based on your
00:10:38.480 needs but it kind of everyone typically
00:10:41.360 follows some sort of like reducing well
00:10:43.760 first getting rid of pathogens if there
00:10:45.519 are any immediately then reducing the
00:10:47.600 bad bacteria then increasing the good
00:10:49.680 bacteria and then kind of like sealing
00:10:52.079 the gut so that’s usually the process
00:10:54.800 that we go through but in terms of food
00:10:56.880 I mean for nutrition in general I think
00:10:58.800 we’ve made it way too complicated it’s
00:11:00.640 just eat single ingredient foods like
00:11:02.959 avocado single ingredient spinach single
00:11:05.279 ingredient um get your protein you know
00:11:08.079 needs for sure so I get about 30 g of
00:11:10.079 protein each meal um I’m aiming for
00:11:12.560 about8 gram to one pound of protein per
00:11:16.079 um pound of body weight and you really
00:11:18.560 do I don’t think gluten serves anybody
00:11:20.640 because gluten really can lead to gut
00:11:23.360 permeability or leaky gut is you know
00:11:26.000 the kind of the common term um so gluten
00:11:28.480 is something that I would probably say
00:11:30.320 really serves no one um some people
00:11:32.560 struggle with gut health and dairy too
00:11:34.480 so that can be one of the first things
00:11:36.160 that you kind of get rid of just to see
00:11:37.920 how you feel and reducing sugar we know
00:11:40.399 that those sugars can really break down
00:11:42.240 and ferment to the bad bacteras and be
00:11:44.480 feeding those bad bacteras we want to be
00:11:46.959 feeding the good bacteria so I think
00:11:49.279 fermented foods though can be really
00:11:51.040 helpful so we don’t want to do the
00:11:52.480 sugars but fermented foods can be
00:11:54.160 helpful um but you want to be even
00:11:56.240 careful with that so if you do it really
00:11:57.920 early on and your gut is a little bit of
00:11:59.680 a wreck sometimes the fermented foods
00:12:01.519 can almost you know feed some of the bad
00:12:03.040 guys too so I think it’s way easier to
00:12:06.079 just get a gut test if you can if you
00:12:08.399 absolutely can’t try to you know just
00:12:10.880 improve the general quality of food um
00:12:13.839 try to reduce your sugar intake
00:12:15.440 eliminate gluten potentially eliminate
00:12:17.600 you know all dairy sources but if you
00:12:19.519 can it’s far easier just to test to see
00:12:22.399 exactly what’s going on and then I know
00:12:24.399 everybody is going to want me to ask you
00:12:25.839 this but when it comes to body
00:12:27.040 composition Yeah what tips we’re
00:12:29.120 approaching spring and summer and you
00:12:30.639 know we all have longevity um goals but
00:12:33.839 we’re also all vein as well so is there
00:12:36.880 like an ideal um diet when it comes to
00:12:40.480 maintaining or losing weight in a
00:12:42.399 healthy way as well yeah I really think
00:12:45.360 it’s just whole foods you know like I
00:12:47.040 don’t at this point in my life I have
00:12:48.560 calorie counted in the past um I don’t I
00:12:51.760 do definitely check my body composition
00:12:54.000 i think and it’s an important longevity
00:12:55.680 metric so we not only want to know like
00:12:57.760 of course weight but how much muscle we
00:12:59.519 have muscle is super important to me um
00:13:02.320 in terms of diet I think if you eat
00:13:03.680 whole foods and you hit your minimum
00:13:05.279 protein you’re going to be so much more
00:13:07.200 satiated right because if you eat
00:13:09.200 protein you’re not going to have all
00:13:10.399 these cravings and then also sleep i
00:13:13.200 mean if you get a high quality night of
00:13:14.720 sleep you have significantly less
00:13:16.800 cravings because even one night of poor
00:13:18.959 sleep increases your hunger hormone
00:13:21.200 ghrelin so you’re literally more hungry
00:13:23.760 than you would be if you just got a good
00:13:26.399 night of sleep you know mhm yeah i had 5
00:13:28.959 and 1/2 hours last night oh no see yeah
00:13:32.120 we’ve we just got back from a trip and
00:13:34.560 so he’s jet-lagged i usually don’t get
00:13:36.320 jetlagged at all it’s crazy that is
00:13:38.480 crazy and yeah he like woke up at 5 to
00:13:41.839 go to the gym but we had gone to bed at
00:13:43.839 like 11:30 so I was like “Ugh this is Oh
00:13:46.560 my gosh well in general are do you
00:13:48.480 always go to bed at 11:30?” No I usually
00:13:50.560 go to bed I used to go to bed around
00:13:52.240 9:30 and get up at like 5:30 to 6:30
00:13:56.399 with him it’s a little bit later usually
00:13:59.360 just because like work schedules and
00:14:02.000 when we’re you know I don’t know it’s
00:14:04.000 just different so usually I do like
00:14:05.839 10:30 to like 6:30 or 7 okay i would
00:14:09.680 encourage you to like bump it up before
00:14:11.680 10:00 if possible because sometimes if
00:14:14.639 you stay up to 10 or later you get this
00:14:16.720 like second cortisol burst and then you
00:14:19.199 might want to stay up later and we know
00:14:21.199 as women too like getting in bed earlier
00:14:23.040 is great for our production of hormones
00:14:24.639 cuz the deepest stages of sleep you know
00:14:26.880 it goes in about 90 minute cycle between
00:14:29.120 deep REM and light but you can get the
00:14:31.680 best amount of your deep sleep uh if you
00:14:34.800 get to bed a little bit earlier i mean
00:14:36.079 10:30 is still good but you know I would
00:14:37.839 just I always recommend everyone get to
00:14:39.680 bed by 10:00 mhm yeah that’s my dream
00:14:41.920 it’s just not always I go to bed at 8:30
00:14:44.399 every single night my god and you get up
00:14:46.560 when 5 naturally uh usually about 5:30
00:14:49.279 yeah um I don’t use an alarm clock i’ve
00:14:50.959 been really you know grateful but I was
00:14:52.480 doing this like test because in the
00:14:54.399 literature it only says that women need
00:14:56.000 about 11 to 20 minutes more sleep than
00:14:58.639 men i’m like this can’t be right let’s
00:15:00.320 just see um and so I just you know
00:15:03.040 optimized all my sleep i woke up
00:15:04.720 whenever I wanted and I’m still doing
00:15:06.160 that and I need at least I mean usually
00:15:08.560 45 minutes to an hour more than my
00:15:10.320 husband when I’m in my like ludial phase
00:15:12.720 and during menstruation I even need more
00:15:14.320 than that so yeah I’ve been doing a
00:15:16.320 little bit of a test but um And how do
00:15:18.480 you optimize your sleep what’s the
00:15:19.839 temperature are you sleeping on a
00:15:21.760 special mattress like how are we how are
00:15:24.160 we sleeping all the things so I think
00:15:26.320 your windown routine is so important
00:15:27.920 it’s actually been so fun because my
00:15:29.920 mom’s like a little into what I do but
00:15:32.160 she’s here with me right now in LA so
00:15:34.399 it’s been like I don’t know like a
00:15:35.680 health boot camp or something she’s
00:15:37.440 going through right
00:15:38.600 now because she doesn’t have her like
00:15:40.800 regular snacks and she’s going to bed
00:15:42.800 early um so I’m telling her it’s like so
00:15:45.279 important to wind down properly so first
00:15:47.279 of all um let’s start in the morning you
00:15:49.199 got to get sunlight into the eyes we all
00:15:50.720 know this because it tells your body and
00:15:52.880 your brain what time it is so it jump
00:15:54.800 starts your circadian rhythm our
00:15:56.560 circadian rhythm is super disrupted
00:15:58.240 because we’re looking at phones and TVs
00:16:00.320 like late into the night and we’re just
00:16:02.000 blasted by blue light so um first thing
00:16:05.040 in the morning 10 to 30 minutes of
00:16:07.279 morning sun um and then throughout the
00:16:09.920 day um stopping eating at at least 3 to
00:16:13.120 4 hours prior to bed so anytime that I
00:16:15.920 eat after like 5:00 p.m I see the data
00:16:19.519 in my aura ring change and my resting
00:16:21.519 heart rate is slightly higher so if you
00:16:23.440 eat earlier your body can digest that
00:16:25.279 food and you can get higher quality
00:16:26.800 sleep also if you eat too late eating is
00:16:29.440 a signal to our body just like light is
00:16:31.839 and if you eat too late it will start to
00:16:33.360 suppress your melatonin production um so
00:16:36.000 eating 3 to four hours prior to bed um
00:16:38.800 as soon as the sun sets which it was
00:16:40.800 about 5:30 here in LA but now since we
00:16:42.720 had daylight saving time it’s like 6:30
00:16:44.880 um all my lights in my house are red so
00:16:48.240 lamps with red orange light my husband
00:16:51.199 does like to watch television so uh
00:16:53.120 there’s a red light filter on the TV
00:16:55.279 blue red light filters on the phone or
00:16:57.120 you can wear blue light blocking glasses
00:16:58.639 but really big for improving quality of
00:17:00.880 sleep um I don’t need any sort of sleep
00:17:03.120 stacks but I do make one for my husband
00:17:05.439 he does like um glycine apogenine a
00:17:07.919 little bit of um GABA and althanine and
00:17:10.480 some magnesium in there people everyone
00:17:12.799 that I’ve ever given it to enjoys it of
00:17:14.559 course if you’re introducing new
00:17:15.919 supplements you want to talk with your
00:17:17.119 doctor um what’s the epigenine um it’s
00:17:19.919 it’s great for just relaxing the body
00:17:22.160 all these things are really focusing on
00:17:23.760 like just putting you into a more
00:17:25.280 relaxed parasympathetic state so we give
00:17:28.480 him that and my goal is to get my heart
00:17:30.559 rate as low as possible before bed so
00:17:32.720 for me that looks like um just relaxing
00:17:35.679 reading no anxietyinducing shows my mom
00:17:38.880 has been over and she wants to watch
00:17:40.000 these like dine murder shows and I’m
00:17:41.840 like mom what this is like the most
00:17:44.160 anxietyinducing thing you can do before
00:17:46.000 bed she said it’s not anxiety my
00:17:48.240 boyfriend has been on a homeland kick
00:17:50.000 okay so it’s it’s like you know in the
00:17:52.240 Middle East like crazy violent right
00:17:55.840 before bed yeah so that is not ideal so
00:17:58.320 I always try to avoid those types of
00:17:59.840 shows and do something relaxing like you
00:18:01.760 know a bath or you know reading also I
00:18:04.000 do sauna about 2 hours prior to bed that
00:18:06.240 is really helpful too um because it puts
00:18:08.799 you in a relaxed state but our body
00:18:10.400 actually drops down a temperature while
00:18:11.919 we’re sleeping so by heating really up
00:18:14.480 our body has to fight against that and
00:18:16.000 cool down so it’s great to do but you
00:18:18.080 want to make sure you do it at least 2
00:18:19.520 hours prior to bed because if you do it
00:18:21.200 too close to bed it’s going to keep your
00:18:22.640 heart rate up and then your sleep is
00:18:24.000 going to be compromised so um sorry to
00:18:26.240 interrupt you but what’s the ideal sauna
00:18:28.240 length um so I think so the research
00:18:31.039 says um at least four times per week uh
00:18:34.640 and doing it for about 20 minutes and
00:18:36.640 the temperature they’re mostly done in
00:18:38.320 Finnish sauna so it’s about 176 to 220
00:18:42.480 or 212 I think is where the studies put
00:18:44.799 it so that’s what I do well I was doing
00:18:47.440 four times a week for 20 minutes and um
00:18:50.320 now post fires I’m doing more because
00:18:52.960 you know we’re both in LA and I you know
00:18:55.760 I don’t know if you want to go into it
00:18:56.880 but um my total toxic burden is like
00:18:59.679 unrecognizable at this point because all
00:19:02.480 of the burning buildings and structures
00:19:05.360 you know just put all of that into the
00:19:06.720 air heavy metals dry cleaning materials
00:19:09.120 mold spores all the stuff so now I’m
00:19:11.440 doing it five times a week but the
00:19:13.120 studies for cardiovascular
00:19:15.440 um reduction in cardiovascular events
00:19:17.520 and longevity or all-c cause mortality
00:19:19.919 are four times a week and are you doing
00:19:22.080 a binder before yeah I do just an easy
00:19:24.960 one like a charcoal uh car coconut or
00:19:28.240 binder or charcoal um binder you know
00:19:30.799 before the sauna just to start to bind
00:19:32.559 to those toxins um and I think it’s
00:19:35.600 really helpful last things about sleep
00:19:37.840 is just a really cold room so I keep it
00:19:40.760 65° my mattress is organic i will say
00:19:44.640 I’m not a fan of the eight sleep until
00:19:47.360 like I hear something otherwise from
00:19:48.960 them but I’ve asked them so many times
00:19:51.360 about the EMFs so electromagnetic fields
00:19:54.080 i actually sleep in a Faraday cage so it
00:19:57.520 blocks the EMFs it’s like this cage
00:20:00.160 that’s threaded with silver and I have
00:20:01.760 an EMF detector at home and I’ve
00:20:03.440 measured it outside and inside of the
00:20:04.960 cage substantially lower we also have a
00:20:07.600 Wi-Fi switch so at night it switches off
00:20:09.520 the Wi-Fi but the problem is you know
00:20:10.960 this in LA like even though your Wi-Fi
00:20:12.799 is off your you know neighbors are so
00:20:15.039 close and their Wi-Fi is probably not
00:20:16.559 off so um I just sleep on an organic
00:20:19.039 mattress because again I’m really
00:20:20.880 worried about the smart mattress right
00:20:23.120 i’m like this can’t be good for us
00:20:25.760 personally that’s why what mattress do
00:20:27.600 you like avocado or I have an Essentia
00:20:30.640 mattress um yeah so it’s like got
00:20:32.559 certified highest level certification
00:20:34.640 organic and then of course organic
00:20:36.080 sheets and pillows and blankets it’s
00:20:37.679 interesting because BOCC’s are these
00:20:39.919 volatile organic compounds if they are
00:20:42.559 offging so when you jump onto your
00:20:45.120 mattress or land to your mattress at
00:20:46.400 night and a big poof of air so if it’s
00:20:48.480 not an organic mattress it can have
00:20:50.480 firmaldahhide in there it can have all
00:20:52.000 these like different known toxic
00:20:53.679 chemicals and you’re breathing that in
00:20:55.280 while you’re sleeping and it can
00:20:56.240 actually disrupt your sleep so super
00:20:58.720 important to have a high quality
00:21:00.080 mattress um and air filtration so I have
00:21:02.720 an insane amount of air filtration in my
00:21:04.240 home but also specifically in my bedroom
00:21:06.400 because I want it to be like as low tox
00:21:08.159 as possible so I have multiple Jasper
00:21:10.400 air filters in there i have those too
00:21:12.240 yeah so I have sponsor the show i love
00:21:13.840 that well yeah thank you Mike um for
00:21:15.919 those Jaspers um but yeah I have two
00:21:18.000 Jaspers in my bedroom and it’s like you
00:21:19.840 know a small bedroom like this so and
00:21:22.799 that’s interesting so are they ever at
00:21:24.400 different readings being on different
00:21:26.320 sides of the room or is it just to get
00:21:28.240 that extra filtration yeah just to get
00:21:29.600 the extra and I actually keep them on
00:21:31.440 three at night too i don’t even keep it
00:21:33.120 on smart mode i crank it up to three
00:21:34.799 yeah because I really Yeah I really
00:21:37.280 don’t want any toxins going on in there
00:21:39.360 um and you know of course dark so my
00:21:41.520 room is like completely black out i
00:21:43.039 can’t see my hand in front of my face
00:21:44.799 because we know that not only can the
00:21:46.720 light in the eyes disrupt you but it can
00:21:48.240 also if it’s hitting your skin it can
00:21:49.600 actually disrupt your sleep so so with
00:21:51.840 all of this how is your Aura Ring sleep
00:21:53.760 score it’s really good oh this is so
00:21:55.760 funny i get tears today i mean it’s
00:21:57.679 typically about anywhere from 96 to 98
00:22:00.640 every single night so yeah i mean I
00:22:02.799 really do crush it on sleep which I
00:22:04.960 should be right i’m doing an insane
00:22:06.480 amount of things so were there certain
00:22:07.919 things that you did that improve that
00:22:09.280 that you were able to connect i kind of
00:22:12.400 been doing it all for quite a while
00:22:14.159 there are some things that Aura says
00:22:15.840 when you tag it it increases sleep so
00:22:18.080 sauna before I think is like a 2%
00:22:20.080 increase um a few other things as well
00:22:22.720 but I’m excited because I just ordered a
00:22:24.960 Whoop and I ordered another ring so I’ve
00:22:27.280 seen a lot of people on the internet
00:22:28.320 with like continual like hundreds on
00:22:30.159 Whoop but Aura you can’t get a hundred
00:22:32.320 like I’ve never known anyone to have 100
00:22:34.080 i’ve never received 100 on activity yes
00:22:36.320 but sleep no so I’m really excited to
00:22:38.400 see what happens with this Whoop and I’m
00:22:40.240 just going to put out all the data like
00:22:41.840 if I have a 95 on aura is that 100 every
00:22:44.480 time on Whoop i’m just you know excited
00:22:46.320 cuz I want to see the difference i love
00:22:48.000 I love the looking forward to that
00:22:50.480 i want to talk about the movement piece
00:22:52.080 of it as well but let’s kind of finish
00:22:53.600 off the morning so you did mention like
00:22:55.600 sunlight first thing what else do you do
00:22:57.679 in the morning oh I do a bunch of stuff
00:22:59.120 in the morning i’ll try to run through
00:23:00.320 it so morning routine yeah um so I mean
00:23:02.960 I wake up naturally i do my oral health
00:23:04.880 routine so it is like an oil pulling um
00:23:07.919 it is a tongue scraping we have a water
00:23:10.320 flosser or flosser super important i
00:23:12.640 also test my oral microbiome so we know
00:23:15.039 that there’s it’s as important to
00:23:16.799 optimize your oral microbiome super
00:23:18.559 important so um like our teeth if you
00:23:20.799 could see like a picture have you seen
00:23:21.919 the pictures floating around where the
00:23:23.039 teeth and the brain like the nerves into
00:23:25.440 the brain like it’s so obvious that you
00:23:27.039 have to take care of your oral health so
00:23:28.880 do that i also have like a little red
00:23:30.480 blue light so the blue light helps
00:23:31.919 whiten the red is good for reducing
00:23:33.760 inflammation in the mouth do that um and
00:23:36.559 then I go and have my water with
00:23:38.200 electrolytes um I What electrolytes do
00:23:41.720 you That’s okay we need Yeah I’ve been
00:23:44.400 doing the Body Bio um electrolytes so I
00:23:47.360 think that they’re a good company um so
00:23:49.440 do that with a big glass of water and
00:23:51.360 then I go to something called a PEMF or
00:23:53.200 pulse electromagnetic field therapy so I
00:23:55.520 have like this clinical device at my
00:23:56.880 house you’ll have to come over sometime
00:23:58.080 and try it all out it’s my house is like
00:23:59.600 a clinic like this is my dream yeah i
00:24:01.360 have like a hard shell hyperbear chamber
00:24:03.360 and the whole nine yards so I sit on the
00:24:05.679 PMF which I think of it as like
00:24:07.520 grounding on steroids so if you don’t
00:24:09.120 have a PMF you can just make contact
00:24:10.720 with the earth and you get a lot of the
00:24:12.320 same benefits it’s just faster so I do
00:24:14.960 that and then I do like my brain
00:24:17.120 training and meditation i do a little
00:24:19.279 bit of prayer and a little bit of
00:24:20.480 gratitude journaling i like to I say get
00:24:22.799 my mindset set before the day sets it
00:24:24.720 for me so if you don’t go into your day
00:24:26.240 with like how you want to feel the first
00:24:28.720 negative comment online or bad email or
00:24:31.200 whatever is just going to totally derail
00:24:32.720 you so I try to do that then I go out I
00:24:35.360 get some morning sun I head to the gym
00:24:37.200 um I work out outside of the house right
00:24:39.039 now so I do that and then my movement
00:24:41.600 routine essentially I’m hitting multiple
00:24:43.919 pillars so I’m want to focus on V2 max
00:24:46.159 so I do that twice a week this has been
00:24:48.000 so fun too so I took my uh
00:24:50.400 cardiovascular age on aura from -6
00:24:54.200 to1.5 in 6 months by incorporating this
00:24:57.760 new V2 max training so for me that looks
00:25:00.400 like um I do one day on the Carol bike
00:25:02.640 which is an AI powered fitness bike and
00:25:04.799 then I do one day of they call it like
00:25:06.880 Norwegian 4×4 but actually when I
00:25:09.039 interviewed Dr stacy Sims who coined the
00:25:11.440 term women are not small men um she told
00:25:14.080 me that it’s better for women to do 4
00:25:16.080 minutes by 6 minutes rest so 4 minutes
00:25:18.240 about 90 to 95% max heart rate followed
00:25:21.200 by 6 minutes of rest instead of 4
00:25:23.200 minutes of rest so I do that twice a
00:25:24.880 week and it’s been amazing for the
00:25:26.240 cardiovascular age excited to just
00:25:28.400 continue to see that number drop then I
00:25:30.320 also focus on uh uh stretching mobility
00:25:34.240 strength um power I recently introduced
00:25:37.200 so now I’m doing like um box jumps and
00:25:40.400 um you know speed squats and speed
00:25:42.640 push-ups to really keep those fast
00:25:44.159 twitch muscle fibers when I do my
00:25:46.240 strength training I do a lot of compound
00:25:47.840 lifts which I know some women might be
00:25:49.440 scared of but they’re really incredible
00:25:51.600 for building bone which is so important
00:25:53.600 for us as women so once we start to hit
00:25:55.919 menopause go into permenopause we really
00:25:57.760 start to lose a lot of our bone density
00:25:59.200 and a lot of our muscle mass so I’m
00:26:01.200 always thinking how can I add more
00:26:02.480 muscle on how can I you know improve the
00:26:05.440 strength and quality of my bones now
00:26:07.120 when it’s easy do a lot of jumping which
00:26:09.279 is also really good for the bones um so
00:26:11.840 yeah I do and then just general cardio
00:26:13.760 workouts too i do a lot of low-level
00:26:15.760 movement in the form of walking like um
00:26:17.760 with my husband at night we live in the
00:26:19.279 hills so we get a like pretty good zone
00:26:21.279 too so do my workout i come home um I do
00:26:25.520 I used to do sauna in the morning now
00:26:27.039 I’m doing in the evening so I’m not
00:26:28.080 doing that anymore but I come home I do
00:26:30.000 my red light therapy i will do cold
00:26:33.039 therapy if I’m in my follicular phase so
00:26:35.279 follicular phase for anyone that doesn’t
00:26:36.720 know is days like one through day 14 um
00:26:40.159 and so that’s where we’re most resilient
00:26:42.080 i’m also hitting like my hardest
00:26:43.440 workouts hitting new PRs the whole nine
00:26:45.760 yard so I’ll do a little bit of cold
00:26:47.279 therapy we have a cold plunge at the
00:26:48.720 house um and then I will take a shower
00:26:51.679 and that’s about it then I move like a
00:26:53.679 kind of what I call midday routine so I
00:26:56.159 do something called a nanovy i have my
00:26:57.919 desk really like kind of set up for
00:26:59.520 health so it doesn’t take the entire day
00:27:02.000 to do my things um so I have a nanov
00:27:04.400 which is good for reducing oxidative
00:27:05.840 stress and improving protein folding so
00:27:07.360 I sit with like a little nasal canula
00:27:09.360 then I move the PMF machine to my desk i
00:27:11.520 have the PMF going i have the nasal
00:27:13.440 canula and I have two different types of
00:27:15.360 red light therapy so I have red light
00:27:17.679 therapy cap for the hair growth because
00:27:19.679 I’m trying to see like how thick I can
00:27:21.120 get my hair so I’m doing that with a
00:27:22.720 little bit of rosemary oil and um 10
00:27:25.360 minutes per day with that i think it
00:27:27.279 really works with the hair regrowth um
00:27:29.200 and then I have an intraasal red light
00:27:31.520 which is for improving the mitochondria
00:27:33.600 in the brain which is exciting so I just
00:27:35.840 look so crazy at my desk like but I
00:27:39.200 don’t even care do you have pictures oh
00:27:41.039 yeah I’ll have to send you some it looks
00:27:43.360 so super I’ve heard about this recently
00:27:45.200 the red light for the mitochondria you
00:27:47.440 talk about that one a little bit yeah so
00:27:49.039 intraasal photobiomodulation so if we
00:27:51.440 think about what are the benefits of red
00:27:53.039 light right we know that it can improve
00:27:54.799 um mitochondrial efficiency and
00:27:56.399 mitochondrial health and the brain has
00:27:58.320 one of the highest concentrations of
00:27:59.760 mitochondria actually interesting
00:28:01.600 interestingly enough so do the ovaries
00:28:03.440 has one of the highest densities of
00:28:05.399 mitochondria so when we’re having um you
00:28:08.960 know inefficiency or dysfunction in our
00:28:10.960 mitochondria it can it can potentially
00:28:13.120 impact how we think and how we function
00:28:15.200 so this literally like just goes into
00:28:17.600 the nose you clip it on and um it’s
00:28:20.720 photobiomodulation up to the brain and
00:28:22.320 then there’s a headpiece that’s actually
00:28:24.080 red light that that we know that the
00:28:25.840 light can uh penetrate even through the
00:28:28.000 skull so it’s helping to improve the
00:28:30.240 mitochondrial i think it works i mean I
00:28:32.399 feel a lot of focus um and it feels
00:28:34.480 really nice so I have those two things i
00:28:36.880 do a lot of walks i just do my work in
00:28:38.640 like 90-minute blocks being really
00:28:40.240 focused and then do walks in between so
00:28:42.159 I can try to get as many steps as
00:28:43.760 possible um and oh one thing I forgot to
00:28:46.480 mention in the morning is my biometrics
00:28:48.960 so on a weekly basis I look at lung
00:28:51.200 health so I have a spometer i do body
00:28:53.520 composition daily and then I do grip
00:28:55.679 strength weekly i just hit 100 pounds on
00:28:57.840 grip strength which I’m super proud of
00:28:59.520 we have to test your grip strength
00:29:00.720 sometimes god we have to see
00:29:03.679 um it’s I sometimes I host these female
00:29:05.679 like longevity dinners you have to come
00:29:07.279 to one yeah I would love to and we like
00:29:08.960 pass her on the grip strength tester and
00:29:10.960 there’s massive like variety like it’s
00:29:13.440 super strong over here like a little bit
00:29:15.360 of needs to work on over there i’m in
00:29:17.440 the needs to work on category well it is
00:29:20.080 a longevity it is a longevity metric so
00:29:22.799 it’s super important so how so so what
00:29:25.039 does that tell you it’s a proxy for
00:29:26.960 overall like strength and muscle mass
00:29:28.880 right like we know that and specifically
00:29:31.679 for women like having a fall breaking a
00:29:34.399 hip uh being frail in general is a huge
00:29:38.960 cause of mortality for women so we need
00:29:41.279 to be stronger so yeah that’s how that’s
00:29:43.520 why like everyone’s like “Oh how do I
00:29:45.200 get my grip strength up?” I’m like
00:29:46.320 “Please don’t use this like grip
00:29:47.919 strength hand thing because yes it can
00:29:50.000 help your grip strength but you’re not
00:29:51.600 actually you’re like cheating yourself
00:29:53.279 right so you’re not even actually
00:29:54.880 getting the benefits.” So improving
00:29:56.640 strength is super um important and so
00:29:59.360 yeah doing the so at home I do lung
00:30:01.919 health blood pressure grip strength um
00:30:05.520 and of course looking at my aura ring
00:30:07.760 and my resting heart rate my HRV my
00:30:10.240 sleep metrics body composition and so
00:30:13.760 yeah I do that in the morning um and I
00:30:16.320 also forgot to mention that I eat so I
00:30:19.039 do my protein coffee before I really
00:30:22.320 think women do better fed i used to do
00:30:24.799 fasted workouts didn’t really go the way
00:30:26.960 I wanted it to so I do um organic
00:30:30.120 biodnamic coffee i do uh arm colostrum
00:30:34.039 creatine and collagen so I get about 15
00:30:36.640 to 20 grams of protein before I work out
00:30:38.720 and then right when I uh am done working
00:30:40.799 out um before my shower and all that
00:30:42.720 I’ll make a quick breakfast usually
00:30:44.559 that’s something like eggs a fermented
00:30:46.240 food like um I love this uh fermented
00:30:48.880 carrot sauerkraut from Airwan actually
00:30:51.200 it’s great little bit of avocado a
00:30:53.679 little bit of like um I like their kale
00:30:55.840 green kale white bean salad too that
00:30:58.799 one’s really good so sometimes I’ll just
00:31:00.240 have that a little bit of olive oil um
00:31:03.360 and then I do a coconut yogurt after to
00:31:06.640 add more protein and fiber so I use
00:31:08.960 these seeds called Zen basil seeds and
00:31:11.279 they have like double the or they have
00:31:13.679 half of your amount of fiber that you
00:31:15.360 need recommended um they have you know
00:31:17.840 some protein in there so basically I
00:31:19.440 want to hit all my protein requirements
00:31:21.360 um in just essentially two meals so I
00:31:24.559 have lunch and then I have an early
00:31:26.080 dinner but I also have that protein
00:31:27.279 coffee so I want to get all my protein
00:31:29.120 in those um three settings say that
00:31:32.960 somebody has 20 minutes in the morning
00:31:34.960 and at night because that’s the feedback
00:31:36.960 that I’m sure you get from your audience
00:31:38.480 all the time who has time for this um
00:31:40.960 people are busy they have kids they have
00:31:43.200 commutes things like that what are the
00:31:45.919 essential things that you think
00:31:47.279 everybody should try to hit in the
00:31:48.720 morning in the most efficient way as
00:31:50.320 possible yeah well sleep if there’s just
00:31:52.799 one thing in general go to bed early
00:31:54.480 tonight because if you get a high
00:31:55.600 quality sleep it’ll make everything your
00:31:57.760 biomarkers better your hunger cravings
00:32:00.559 less your creativity your focus
00:32:02.799 everything just better um in terms of
00:32:04.480 what you could do in the morning I would
00:32:06.080 highly recommend getting morning
00:32:07.600 sunlight and exercising so those two
00:32:09.679 things are going to be a game changer if
00:32:10.880 you can exercise outside it’s free and I
00:32:13.600 want to you know it’s important to me
00:32:15.120 that I can communicate the message that
00:32:17.440 yes I do all these wild things but um
00:32:20.640 health is really in mastering the basics
00:32:22.559 and everybody always asks me what
00:32:24.000 supplements do I take what you know how
00:32:25.919 can I get a hyperbaric chamber it’s like
00:32:27.919 that’s not what you should be focusing
00:32:29.279 on right now you should focus on
00:32:30.480 mastering the basics because it’s going
00:32:32.080 to get you 90 to 95% of the way there
00:32:34.159 and the basics are either low cost or
00:32:36.559 free i mean high quality sleep is pretty
00:32:38.960 much like free um you know I always say
00:32:41.279 focus on the things you do every day so
00:32:42.880 we eat improving your uh nutrition does
00:32:45.440 cost something but you can do it
00:32:47.200 relatively low cost uh we eat we sleep
00:32:50.000 improve sleep we breathe focus on your
00:32:52.159 breath like we know that women perceive
00:32:55.519 stress at much higher levels than men
00:32:57.519 and I see it in my order ring data I
00:32:59.440 look at my husband’s and I look at mine
00:33:01.279 my husband is relaxed like restored all
00:33:03.519 day long it’s wild same with my
00:33:05.679 boyfriend it’s I’m like he has one state
00:33:08.640 and it’s restored it’s not even just
00:33:10.480 relaxed it’s like restored I’m like are
00:33:12.320 you sleeping throughout the whole day
00:33:14.320 and that’s not the case right he’s like
00:33:16.000 a CEO he’s like running multiple
00:33:17.600 companies he’s very busy but us as women
00:33:19.840 we just perceive stress in such a
00:33:22.000 significant way so that’s like my main
00:33:24.159 goal for this year is I want to get my
00:33:25.760 HRV to 100 and I want to reduce my
00:33:28.640 stress levels overall um and anyway so
00:33:31.360 it would be exercise and morning sun
00:33:33.679 just the foundational things yeah yeah i
00:33:36.000 mean I’m not an expert here but I do
00:33:38.559 feel like it tends to get so over
00:33:40.480 complicated and people look at kind of
00:33:42.640 the sexier things like the sauna and the
00:33:44.640 cold plunge and the hyperbaric and the
00:33:46.240 ozone and the methylene blue like all of
00:33:48.320 these new things that are exciting um or
00:33:50.799 some of them aren’t even new but tend to
00:33:52.399 skip over the basics and I think I’ve
00:33:55.600 been guilty of that in my own journey as
00:33:58.000 well you know sometimes it’s easier to
00:33:59.679 go for the more tangible things like the
00:34:02.399 supplements or you know the sauna or
00:34:04.799 whatever it’s easier right yeah versus
00:34:07.200 like doing something that might be
00:34:08.639 uncomfortable like changing a habit um
00:34:11.520 or adopting a new habit you know those
00:34:14.000 tend to be a little bit there there
00:34:16.719 tends to be more friction there than
00:34:18.079 just going and taking something 100% and
00:34:20.960 yeah I mean but those like exercise if
00:34:24.239 there was one pill for longevity like it
00:34:26.079 would be exercise like exercise or high
00:34:28.079 quality sleep you know so I think um if
00:34:30.879 you’re listening to this and you don’t
00:34:32.000 know where to start just go to bed early
00:34:34.480 uh wake up get some morning sun in your
00:34:36.399 eyes of course you don’t want to stare
00:34:38.079 right at the sun don’t harm yourself um
00:34:40.239 and then do a quick workout and do
00:34:41.918 whatever you can like make your goals
00:34:44.239 reasonable that you’ll actually stick to
00:34:45.760 them because if you set insanely you
00:34:48.159 know audacious goals you’re probably not
00:34:50.079 going to go to the gym for 2 hours nor
00:34:51.679 do you need to so you know just say
00:34:53.599 you’re going to do 10 push-ups tomorrow
00:34:55.119 and you’re going to walk for 20 minutes
00:34:57.119 like start there and I always say one
00:34:59.119 win leads to many wins so when you start
00:35:01.520 to feel better and you start to see a
00:35:03.200 little bit of a result you’re going to
00:35:04.560 be encouraged to do that more and more
00:35:06.560 mhm i do want to touch on some of the
00:35:09.680 crazier things just because I think it’s
00:35:12.000 so fascinating for people who don’t have
00:35:13.760 access to this stuff or who aren’t even
00:35:15.760 aware of things that are kind of in the
00:35:18.400 pipeline um for the future of you know
00:35:20.880 our well-being um so what are maybe some
00:35:24.240 of the like quote unquote craziest or
00:35:27.920 most out there treatments or things that
00:35:30.240 you have done that either did or did
00:35:32.400 make a difference for you yeah yeah i
00:35:34.640 mean I think having hyperbaric chamber
00:35:36.720 like a medical grade one at home is a
00:35:38.480 little bit unusual but the research is
00:35:41.200 really pretty good and it’s really
00:35:43.200 developing too so we know that it’s
00:35:45.040 great for people with any sort of
00:35:46.320 concussion or TBI it’s really good for
00:35:48.240 brain health um we also are exploring
00:35:51.040 the potential for longevity so some
00:35:53.359 research um shows that it can actually
00:35:55.280 lengthen tieumirs which are the end caps
00:35:57.280 of your DNA they shrink as we age so
00:35:59.599 that’s exciting they’re doing a lot of
00:36:01.280 research on fertility we know that
00:36:02.880 women’s you know fertility infertility
00:36:05.119 men’s fertility infertility is a huge
00:36:07.200 conversation it’s decreased by at least
00:36:09.680 30% over the course of the last 30 years
00:36:11.920 fertility is decreasing at the rate of
00:36:13.520 about 1% per year but when you look at
00:36:15.599 that over 30 years that’s 30% it’s an
00:36:18.160 interesting you know potential uh
00:36:20.160 therapy for that and um you know Brian
00:36:23.280 Johnson did a bunch of hyperbaric
00:36:24.640 sessions he really felt like it improved
00:36:26.480 or the data said it improved his skin
00:36:28.240 health so that’s really fun um I have
00:36:30.800 done different forms of stem cells which
00:36:33.359 I think you need to be really careful
00:36:34.880 you need to really uh do your research
00:36:38.160 figure out where they’re coming from
00:36:39.440 what you’re getting i’ve opted to do um
00:36:42.000 my own so I used um some of my own
00:36:46.079 derived stem cells i’m actually getting
00:36:48.000 ready to bank my stem cells for the
00:36:50.280 future so in a couple weeks I’m going
00:36:52.880 they just pull a little bit of fat um
00:36:54.480 and then they get your stem cells and
00:36:55.760 they can actually send them to a lab and
00:36:57.440 they can multiply them so then you can
00:36:58.880 use them for a variety of different
00:37:00.240 things i’m going to use them for just
00:37:01.920 like wellness so I’ll do one IV every
00:37:04.160 quarter but I can also have them in case
00:37:06.160 I were to get sick and then when we have
00:37:08.320 babies we’re going to take the stem
00:37:09.760 cells from the umbilical cord and then
00:37:11.920 bank those for the babies and we could
00:37:13.520 also use them in the future if um you
00:37:16.240 know if they if we get sick either so
00:37:18.240 that’s that’s a big one i mean I’ve done
00:37:20.000 methylene blue i’ve done so much NAD we
00:37:22.960 have something called an ozone sauna at
00:37:25.200 the clinic and that’s really fun and it
00:37:27.359 looks like a little spaceship pod but
00:37:29.440 it’s about seven times more powerful
00:37:31.040 than a standard sauna we know that ozone
00:37:33.520 is like antiviral antibacterial
00:37:35.359 antibarasitic so it’s really beneficial
00:37:37.520 for detoxing i’m taking a little bit of
00:37:40.320 rapamyasin which is interesting for um
00:37:43.119 potentially delaying ovarian aging so in
00:37:46.160 some new studies they have not been
00:37:47.680 peer- reviewviewed yet but it delays
00:37:49.760 ovarian aging by about 5 years which is
00:37:52.320 really exciting because when women hit
00:37:53.920 menopause our risk of all causes of
00:37:56.480 mortality increases everything from
00:37:58.320 dementia to heart attack to you know of
00:38:01.440 course bone frail all these things so if
00:38:03.680 we can like potentially delay that then
00:38:07.760 we are giving women more healthy years
00:38:09.280 and I’m not saying that this is the
00:38:10.480 thing right it’s just stuff that I’m
00:38:11.760 trying i’m trying hyperbaric for that
00:38:13.520 i’m trying the rapamyiain um and I’m
00:38:16.160 also doing like lowle laser therapy on
00:38:18.480 my ovaries to potentially mitigate some
00:38:21.200 of the inflammatory cascade that happens
00:38:23.200 on a monthly basis because as as our
00:38:26.400 uterine lining is you know building and
00:38:28.400 then shutting we have this like entire
00:38:30.079 inflammatory cascade going on so that’s
00:38:32.880 something else that I’m trying um for
00:38:35.200 that i have not done any gene therapies
00:38:37.119 i mean I just turned 34 i am going to do
00:38:40.079 gene therapy when I get a little bit
00:38:41.520 older um but the main gene therapies
00:38:44.160 that are available now we have falstatin
00:38:46.240 right which um is really great for
00:38:48.960 improving strength and muscle but
00:38:51.200 interestingly enough falastatin I
00:38:53.599 believe this is what I was told by an
00:38:54.960 expert in an interview at least that
00:38:56.320 fallaten when you get pregnant
00:38:58.240 substantially increases so let’s say you
00:39:00.000 go to gene therapy um that you would
00:39:02.400 actually have to turn the gene therapy
00:39:03.839 off but I’m also I want to have kids
00:39:05.359 first before I um you know go doing gene
00:39:09.359 therapies and plus uh I just don’t think
00:39:11.599 I need that right now so those are some
00:39:13.200 of the most interesting interesting
00:39:15.040 thing I’ve done of course like exone
00:39:16.720 facials and things like that um but I
00:39:19.920 think I think yeah that’s some of the
00:39:21.280 more interesting things are there any
00:39:23.680 trendy health or longevity things that
00:39:26.920 you don’t do or that you want to
00:39:29.280 mythbust i mean I heard you talking to
00:39:32.000 um Kay about resveratrol and you guys
00:39:35.280 were talking about how resveratrol was
00:39:36.880 like the sexy trendy whatever it is
00:39:40.880 polyphenol I don’t even know um and
00:39:44.800 everybody was on the resveratl train and
00:39:46.800 now it’s kind of like we’ve moved on
00:39:49.119 from that yeah no I mean resveratrol was
00:39:50.960 debunked like years ago so I don’t even
00:39:52.960 know why that one’s on the table anymore
00:39:55.200 i think definitely yeah i mean
00:39:56.400 resveratrol is a great one and I don’t
00:39:57.920 let me think of any if any more
00:39:59.200 molecules specifically come to mind um
00:40:02.000 that I think are you know just not worth
00:40:04.320 it at all i think the best way to do it
00:40:06.720 is like if you’re when it comes to
00:40:08.160 supplementation is just do a lab and
00:40:10.079 figure out what you’re deficient in and
00:40:11.440 then target supplement because obviously
00:40:13.119 it’s a massive industry and they want
00:40:15.920 you to buy everything um I would say
00:40:18.160 though I think for women we just have to
00:40:19.839 be so much more careful so I would say
00:40:21.520 like myth busting that we can cold
00:40:23.200 plunge every single day of the cycle and
00:40:25.760 of course there’s going to be a small
00:40:27.040 subset of women that can right and
00:40:28.640 they’re going to be fine but in general
00:40:30.960 um you know we have so many more hor we
00:40:32.800 have an insane amount of hormonal
00:40:34.720 fluctuations in comparison to men men
00:40:36.480 it’s kind of like Groundhog Day like
00:40:37.760 they have a 24-hour cycle of their
00:40:39.599 hormones so every day is the same they
00:40:41.520 can do anything they want really so we
00:40:43.760 have to be a lot more careful so I think
00:40:45.280 it’s a myth that you know women and men
00:40:47.119 should have the same longevity pro um
00:40:49.200 protocols i think you know even when it
00:40:50.960 comes to fasting again everything is
00:40:52.880 bio-individual listen to your body but I
00:40:55.200 think women are going to do best fasting
00:40:57.040 in the follicular phase we’re going to
00:40:58.800 do best with cold therapy in the
00:41:00.160 follicular phase um you know we can use
00:41:02.720 cold therapy like higher temps shorter
00:41:05.920 times in the ludial phase if if we are
00:41:08.800 really careful to help potentially with
00:41:10.800 some of the PMS symptoms PMS is another
00:41:13.119 thing this is also something I’m diving
00:41:14.720 really deep in because I have zero PMS
00:41:16.319 symptoms um PMS symptoms are often
00:41:18.880 coming from disregulated hormones right
00:41:21.440 and there’s some things that you can do
00:41:23.040 to help with those symptoms um you know
00:41:25.920 like red light help the pain like the
00:41:27.599 red light therapy or PMF PEMF but I
00:41:31.200 think it needs to be like we need to be
00:41:32.880 having a broader conversation on why are
00:41:34.960 we having PMS symptoms in the first
00:41:36.560 place cuz there was when I got I got an
00:41:39.440 expplant and um you got one too yeah
00:41:42.160 yeah okay so I got an expplant so when I
00:41:44.319 got an expplant I had to take these
00:41:45.880 antibiotics and they really of course
00:41:48.319 disrupted my gut as to be expected but
00:41:50.960 that one month um I had these higher
00:41:53.760 levels of estrogen because there’s
00:41:55.280 something in the gut called beta
00:41:56.599 glucaronidase and it was elevated
00:41:58.560 because my gut was you know imbalanced
00:42:00.640 um and if I didn’t do the test I would
00:42:02.160 never know but um that month I had PMS
00:42:05.119 symptoms i had like cramping it was
00:42:06.480 horrible i was like I feel so bad for
00:42:08.960 women now that this is what’s going on
00:42:10.319 on a monthly basis cuz I was like this
00:42:12.079 is crazy and I hadn’t had before and
00:42:13.680 then I was able to resolve it but I
00:42:15.520 think that’s another big you know topic
00:42:17.680 we need to hand uh you know just really
00:42:19.839 tackle yeah for me it’s interesting and
00:42:22.240 I won’t go too off into this tangent but
00:42:24.480 I always had PMDD like debilitating PMS
00:42:29.280 um not so much with irritability but
00:42:31.119 with anxiety like anxiety to the point
00:42:33.280 that I couldn’t function prior to my
00:42:34.880 period and then of course I’ve been
00:42:36.480 dealing with this whole histamine thing
00:42:38.000 and I was like not functional until I
00:42:40.720 got on antihistamines which we did just
00:42:42.480 to kind of put the fire out enough that
00:42:44.079 I could then try to figure out like okay
00:42:45.920 what’s the root cause here but
00:42:47.359 ironically when I was on the
00:42:49.240 antihistamines no PMDD so there’s like
00:42:52.800 now supposed to be like a connection
00:42:54.480 between histamine and estrogen and um
00:42:58.079 all of that which I thought was so
00:42:59.760 interesting i mean there’s so many we’re
00:43:01.440 so complicated we complicated bottom
00:43:04.480 line unbelievably complicated i know i
00:43:06.400 feel so you know sad about this like
00:43:08.319 whole journey that you’ve had to go on i
00:43:09.680 wish we would have met earlier i know i
00:43:11.680 know well I think for a long time I was
00:43:15.440 just hoping that it would get better on
00:43:17.680 its own which it kind of did um for a
00:43:20.640 period of time but I think that I never
00:43:22.240 really figured out exactly what was
00:43:24.160 going on and so I just kept pushing and
00:43:25.680 pushing and going and going and then
00:43:26.960 it’s like you can only do that for so
00:43:28.560 long until the wheels fall off a little
00:43:30.400 bit but it’s interesting how many women
00:43:32.800 seem to be going through it too with
00:43:34.880 either MCAST or histamine intolerance
00:43:37.839 things like that um which I mean my
00:43:41.599 doctor said mine is secondary so she’s
00:43:43.680 like you have secondary mcast like
00:43:45.200 something is causing it you don’t just
00:43:46.560 like develop it out of the blue um and I
00:43:49.359 think that you know it’s like what we
00:43:50.880 were talking about before we started
00:43:52.000 recording we are in like toxic soup and
00:43:55.359 we’re so overloaded with things that
00:43:58.319 we’re exposed to every day and
00:44:01.440 oftentimes not at any of our faults
00:44:04.319 either you know it’s like it’s hard to
00:44:06.720 avoid cuz we can’t live in bubbles
00:44:08.880 totally and so I think more and more
00:44:11.440 people are you know dealing with these
00:44:13.839 things these immune issues yeah yeah
00:44:16.480 it’s kind of like I said you know before
00:44:18.160 we went on air it’s like everyone has a
00:44:19.760 different size cup like it can be based
00:44:21.520 on your genetics and your ability to
00:44:22.960 detox but we have all these like micro
00:44:25.280 hits that are filling the cup it’s like
00:44:26.960 you know um toxins in our environment
00:44:29.119 that we’re not even aware of and then
00:44:30.640 stress and then continually like
00:44:32.720 comparing ourselves online and then we
00:44:34.640 also have things like poor food and not
00:44:36.960 not exercising or not sleeping well and
00:44:39.200 eventually that cup just tips over and
00:44:41.520 it usually takes like you know years to
00:44:43.599 develop um so it’s something that’s
00:44:45.599 brewing and I think yeah we just need to
00:44:48.560 it’s unfortunate because it’s like a
00:44:50.000 full-time job basically i mean literally
00:44:51.920 this is my full-time job so there’s that
00:44:53.520 so everyone should also keep that in
00:44:54.800 mind that uh I do this personally and
00:44:57.280 professionally so you know it’s my job
00:44:59.440 to do these things but it can become a
00:45:01.119 full-time job for anybody and that’s why
00:45:02.880 I try to just like share resources as
00:45:05.040 freely and openly as possible because
00:45:07.040 it’s taken me so long to figure so much
00:45:09.040 of this stuff out you know lots of trial
00:45:11.040 and error lots of like wasted resources
00:45:12.880 and time so um yeah it’s it’s a
00:45:15.119 difficult journey to navigate and and
00:45:17.760 see it’s very common right we know now
00:45:19.680 now know that um I think 40% of
00:45:23.760 Americans have it two chronic diseases
00:45:25.920 or more 60% having one chronic disease
00:45:28.800 it’s wild I mean children are developing
00:45:31.200 diabetes like these cancers are becoming
00:45:34.240 more prevalent at younger and younger
00:45:35.839 ages and it’s like our environment it’s
00:45:37.839 it should be illegal you know to be able
00:45:41.359 to introduce things that are harming us
00:45:44.079 in such a significant way and clearly
00:45:46.240 something has happened
00:45:48.599 because the numbers are all there well
00:45:52.240 not to go from that to something more
00:45:53.920 vain but it would be remiss if I didn’t
00:45:56.800 ask you about skincare another thing
00:45:58.319 that we were talking about prior to so
00:46:00.240 you obviously are a wealth of knowledge
00:46:02.000 you have all of the research you have
00:46:03.440 access to all of the things what do you
00:46:05.599 think is the future of skinare and
00:46:08.079 anti-aging i mean are we going to get to
00:46:09.920 a place where we can grow baby skin i’ve
00:46:13.280 been asking every scientist that comes
00:46:16.000 on my podcast I’m like when is the day
00:46:17.599 that we can like reverse um well we know
00:46:21.119 that we in the lab can actually take
00:46:24.079 cells back to an embryionic like state
00:46:26.480 so that’s that’s a little tricky right
00:46:28.560 with like
00:46:29.560 cancer that’s not going to work but I’m
00:46:31.520 just saying if we can get it all the way
00:46:32.960 back to that state maybe we can find
00:46:35.200 like an interim we don’t have that yet
00:46:36.640 right but I’m very hopeful you know I
00:46:38.160 speak at a lot of really interesting
00:46:39.440 conferences is like I was speaking at a
00:46:41.280 longevity investors conference in Gestad
00:46:43.200 and the things that are coming down the
00:46:44.400 pipeline are just wild like being able
00:46:46.720 to take young new mitochondria and
00:46:48.720 integrate those into older mitochondria
00:46:50.880 in a human being by like IV drip this is
00:46:53.359 amazing you know absolutely unbelievable
00:46:55.920 i mean of course like you know um organ
00:46:58.560 regeneration because right now I think
00:47:01.040 you know our best bet is just to slow
00:47:03.200 the process as much as possible with
00:47:05.200 these healthy behaviors but with AI it’s
00:47:07.839 just like going to be super speed it’s
00:47:10.000 like birthing of like you know this
00:47:11.359 super technology and I think that’s how
00:47:13.280 we’re going to get to these like really
00:47:14.640 extended you know age years and age um
00:47:17.520 in terms of skin so it’s really
00:47:18.960 something that I’m just getting into and
00:47:21.119 I’m super excited too for a lot of
00:47:22.560 reasons right like I spent so much time
00:47:24.800 on lab testing and eating healthy food
00:47:26.800 and you know sometimes people you know
00:47:28.400 they think that if you were eating
00:47:29.440 healthy like that you’re also never
00:47:30.800 going to age which is not exactly how it
00:47:32.960 is even if internally
00:47:35.480 biologically you’re younger but still
00:47:37.760 like you know I mean I loved the sun as
00:47:40.400 um you know a kid went in tanning beds
00:47:43.200 um and twice a day sometimes oh my gosh
00:47:45.920 one my mom reminded me she’s like
00:47:47.599 “Remember when you went in a tanning bed
00:47:49.040 twice?” And I was like “I I know i wish
00:47:51.920 you would have really harped on the sun
00:47:53.920 you know the skin care back then and the
00:47:56.000 sunscreen so yeah I mean all of that
00:47:58.319 stuff so now I’m in this place where I’m
00:48:00.480 doing what I’m calling like you know the
00:48:02.319 skin longevity project so I’m trying a
00:48:04.240 bunch of stuff i’ve actually partnered
00:48:06.079 with Dr diamond on some of it here in
00:48:07.920 Beverly Hills so we’re doing a
00:48:09.760 combination he has this Instaacial of
00:48:12.359 lasers um I think there’s a BBL and then
00:48:15.920 there’s um micro needing with exoomes
00:48:19.119 and we’ve done a few different lasers i
00:48:21.119 need to get a little bit more educated
00:48:22.480 on the lasers but I I think those are
00:48:24.559 incredibly beneficial right i think I
00:48:26.640 want to start doing uh maybe once a year
00:48:28.480 even a fraction fractional laser right
00:48:30.880 is that what it’s called the That’s the
00:48:32.559 deepest one right like a CO2 okay like a
00:48:35.520 CO2 um you know more about these laser
00:48:38.079 things than I do but um I think lasers
00:48:40.000 are going to be really you know they’ve
00:48:41.920 been powerful but continuing to be
00:48:43.440 powerful i did something called a soft
00:48:45.200 wave i think that’s really interesting
00:48:46.720 do you know about this one yeah I
00:48:47.920 haven’t done it though did you notice a
00:48:49.440 difference a little bit um I think I
00:48:51.440 need a few more sessions i will say yeah
00:48:53.440 I mean you need to be relaxed when you
00:48:55.839 go into that treatment but I think
00:48:57.200 that’s really cool that you can um just
00:49:01.040 tighten the skin from the inside out so
00:49:02.960 that seems to be something that is
00:49:04.319 really promising there’s something
00:49:05.599 called an L core too that I’m really
00:49:07.200 interested in have you heard of this one
00:49:08.800 no so this one actually uh takes tiny
00:49:11.520 pieces of skin out and so and then it
00:49:14.960 like heals apparently and so you’re
00:49:18.000 literally just like removing skin as
00:49:19.760 it’s getting looser what have you what’s
00:49:22.079 your thoughts on this i don’t know a ton
00:49:23.520 about it but I do know what you’re
00:49:24.800 talking about i have not done it but I’m
00:49:26.640 interested in it um in terms of skin
00:49:29.119 care I’m super excited about the
00:49:30.640 potential i was telling you I have like
00:49:32.240 a little bit of um like mistakes going
00:49:34.240 on on the skin today you look flawless
00:49:36.880 oh well thank you because I’m do trying
00:49:38.880 all these different things and sometimes
00:49:40.400 when I try like too many therapies and
00:49:42.400 mix that with too many products you know
00:49:44.079 sometimes things just happen but I think
00:49:45.839 NAD skin in skincare is really exciting
00:49:48.480 I mean I think collagen in skincare is
00:49:50.319 like tried and true not only eating
00:49:52.400 collagen because we now know for a while
00:49:54.480 people were like oh collagen it doesn’t
00:49:56.079 work we now know that it actually does
00:49:57.839 work so getting your collagen you know
00:50:00.000 orally and on the skin I think are two
00:50:02.400 really helpful things um so yeah like
00:50:04.559 the NAD skincare I think exoomes at home
00:50:07.119 in skincare is going to be the future so
00:50:09.280 I have a couple products that I’m trying
00:50:10.640 it’s really just hard to keep them alive
00:50:12.800 so so it’s like they’re not even alive
00:50:14.800 it’s just they’re able to kind of be
00:50:16.319 like activated oh something else I think
00:50:18.480 super super interesting is there’s a
00:50:20.319 product called Civ have you heard of
00:50:22.000 this one no so it’s like a spore
00:50:24.240 probiotic for the face um so really like
00:50:28.079 we have a microbiome of our skin and
00:50:30.400 this is the first product that I’ve seen
00:50:31.760 of that nature so you just do two tiny
00:50:33.839 drops to warm it up to actually activate
00:50:35.760 it and then press it into the skin and
00:50:37.520 it’s supposed to basically optimize your
00:50:40.079 skin microbiome um so I’ve been doing an
00:50:42.880 Allies of Skin Probiotic Mist by the way
00:50:45.280 really amazing you should try it oh
00:50:46.800 you’ll have to tell me about that that
00:50:48.319 one is really Yeah that sounds amazing
00:50:50.559 um I mean salmon sperm facials i’m going
00:50:52.880 to be trying one of those soon have you
00:50:54.319 tried that not yet okay i’ve heard it
00:50:56.240 hurts a lot so I haven’t yet pulled the
00:50:58.160 trigger but that’s on on my list of
00:51:00.160 things yeah i mean I’m going through all
00:51:01.760 of this because um you know I’m
00:51:03.599 currently doing Xenamin twice a year
00:51:05.680 which is supposed to be the healthier
00:51:07.359 version of Botox like I know it’s not
00:51:09.359 perfect um in an ideal world you know I
00:51:12.319 wouldn’t do it at all which is where I’m
00:51:13.599 moving i’m also intending on getting
00:51:14.960 pregnant so we’ll be stopping it at that
00:51:17.280 point for sure but the way I kind of
00:51:20.480 think about it is again what is your
00:51:22.240 toxic load so like me knowing mine and
00:51:25.200 knowing that overall it’s so low I feel
00:51:28.240 better about doing that twice a year now
00:51:31.040 with the new toxic burden postfires I’m
00:51:33.359 not going to be doing it at all because
00:51:34.559 I think with all those toxins and then
00:51:36.720 adding an what we know is a neurotoxin
00:51:38.640 on top of that we’ll just potentially
00:51:39.920 tip that tip that glass over so I’m
00:51:42.640 going to get all the toxins out and but
00:51:44.480 yeah we’re just seeing you know it’s
00:51:45.839 it’s hard being a woman in the public
00:51:48.559 eye in any way right it’s like you are
00:51:51.839 it’s not good if you don’t do anything
00:51:54.319 because then you’re aging but you’re in
00:51:55.920 longevity so you have to stay like super
00:51:57.599 young forever but if you do do stuff
00:51:59.680 that’s also you know frowned upon um and
00:52:02.400 I’m just I’m like you know what first of
00:52:03.680 all I think women should do whatever
00:52:04.880 makes women feel best right i’m excited
00:52:07.680 for new interventions because I think we
00:52:10.640 won’t need Botox you know I think you
00:52:13.440 know we won’t need these types of things
00:52:16.240 but um for now I think you know women
00:52:18.480 should just do what what makes them feel
00:52:21.520 good because being confident is also
00:52:23.440 part of longevity like feeling good
00:52:25.520 about yourself social relationships
00:52:27.760 community all of that stuff is also you
00:52:30.559 know part of longevity and to be clear
00:52:32.079 I’m not saying Botox is part of
00:52:33.520 longevity it’s certainly not but I think
00:52:35.839 if you’re doing all of the other things
00:52:37.920 perfect um or as close to perfect as you
00:52:40.480 can you know we’ll see but I’ll continue
00:52:43.200 yeah exactly and um I will be you know
00:52:45.920 posting everything that I’m doing for
00:52:47.200 the skin longevity project cuz I haven’t
00:52:48.960 done any Botox I think in the last like
00:52:51.280 six or eight months um and so I’m just
00:52:54.079 excited to see what happens i think I
00:52:55.599 need to join you in that project yeah
00:52:57.599 let’s do it i think that like the topic
00:53:00.720 of community and support is really
00:53:02.640 important to longevity and look I mean
00:53:04.880 if if I’m doing something that needs to
00:53:06.480 be called out like by all means someone
00:53:08.240 should but um I think in general like
00:53:11.119 women need to support women like I’ve
00:53:12.880 left a total of absolutely zero comments
00:53:14.800 that are negative on Instagram in
00:53:16.800 general and never would I leave one on
00:53:19.119 on a woman’s profile you know what I
00:53:20.880 mean so um I just think you know we all
00:53:23.599 should be cognizant that they’re like
00:53:25.280 real people behind that like you know
00:53:27.760 post and like probably they’re going to
00:53:29.680 read it and everyone’s just trying to do
00:53:31.520 their best right and for me I’m just
00:53:33.440 trying to put out like free health
00:53:35.280 information you know to the best of my
00:53:36.800 ability and sharing what I’m doing so
00:53:38.559 yeah and I always like to say take what
00:53:40.160 you want and leave the rest yeah like
00:53:41.920 that’s an option totally yeah yeah and
00:53:44.400 if you if you don’t like it I mean good
