The Hidden Science of Skin Aging (And How to Reverse It)
For years, skincare has focused on surface-level solutions, moisturizers, retinol, collagen creams… but what if we told you that true skin rejuvenation starts at the cellular level? Traditional skincare is designed to mask aging, but new research in longevity science reveals that the root causes of aging go much deeper. In this episode of Biohacking Beauty, I break down the real drivers of skin aging, from mitochondrial dysfunction and NAD decline to epigenetic shifts, senescent cells, and impaired autophagy. I also discuss why most anti-aging products don’t actually reverse aging, and how cutting-edge biohacking ingredients like NAD+, spermidine, copper peptides, and advanced vitamin C are changing the game. This is the future of skincare, moving beyond temporary fixes and truly reprogramming skin cells for longevity. If you’ve ever wondered why your skin isn’t responding to traditional skincare, or how you can actually slow down and even reverse the aging process, this episode is for you!

Hannah Went: Your Skincare Routine Won’t Fix THIS Aging Problem
Welcome back to Biohacking Beauty! Today, we’re diving into the cutting-edge science of biological vs. chronological aging and how epigenetic testing is revolutionizing the way we understand skin longevity. Aging isn’t just about the number of birthdays you’ve had—it’s about how your cells are aging at the molecular level. And now, thanks to advancements in epigenetics and AI-driven diagnostics, we can measure and even influence that process. In this episode, I sit down with Hannah Went, an expert in biological age testing and the Director of Operations at TruDiagnostic, a leading epigenetics company. We explore how biological aging manifests in the skin, why epigenetic markers are more predictive of health than genetics, and how personalized interventions can actually slow or even reverse aging at the cellular level. Hannah also shares groundbreaking research on how lifestyle choices, like diet, sleep, and even skincare, can alter gene expression and influence the rate at which we age. Plus, we discuss how advanced testing methods can provide real-time feedback on how well anti-aging interventions are actually working. If you’ve ever wanted to take a data-driven approach to longevity, this episode is packed with insights you won’t want to miss. Hannah Went is the Director of Operations at TruDiagnostic, a company at the forefront of biological age testing and longevity research.

Dr. Scott Scherr: Stress & Light on Your Skin Are Aging Your Entire Body
Most people don’t think about their skin until they have to. The reality is, by the time we notice fine lines, dullness, or inflammation, deeper processes have already been at play for years. But what if your skin isn’t just reflecting aging? What if it’s reflecting your overall health, stress levels, and even brain function? In this episode of Biohacking Beauty, I sit down with Dr. Scott Sherr to uncover the fascinating connection between your skin and brain, a relationship most people don’t even realize exists. This conversation originally took place on The Smarter Not Harder Podcast, where Scott and I explored the skin-brain axis and how your skin is more than just a barrier, it’s an active communicator with your nervous system, influencing everything from inflammation to stress resilience and even cognitive function. We also tackle some of the biggest misconceptions in skincare, like why hydration doesn’t actually come from the outside, how sun exposure impacts your skin at a cellular level, and the surprising ways senescent cells in your skin accelerate whole-body aging. Plus, we break down the latest science on hormones, collagen production, and microbiome health, and how all of these factors impact how your skin ages. Dr. Scott Sherr is the host of the Smarter Not Harder Podcast and a physician specializing in health optimization, hyperbaric therapy, and longevity medicine. As the founder of Integrative HBOT and a leading expert in performance medicine, he helps individuals leverage cutting-edge science to enhance vitality, slow aging, and optimize brain and body function.
