Dr. Stephanie Venn-Watson: The Essential Fat That Reverses Aging—Why No One’s Talking About It?

Dr. Stephanie Venn-Watson: The Essential Fat That Reverses Aging—Why No One’s Talking About It?

Today, we’re diving into a discovery that could reshape how we think about aging—C15, a newly identified essential fatty acid that plays a crucial role in cellular resilience, inflammation control, and longevity. For decades, we’ve been told to avoid saturated fats, but what if that advice led to widespread nutritional deficiencies? Dr. Stephanie Venn-Watson, a veterinary epidemiologist and co-founder of Fatty15, uncovered C15’s role in strengthening cell membranes, reducing oxidative stress, and even influencing epigenetic aging—all from studying long-lived Navy dolphins. In this episode, we break down how C15 protects against cellular fragility, fights ferroptosis (a newly identified form of cell death), and why it’s critical for maintaining healthy skin and metabolic function. We’ll also explore why modern diets have nearly eliminated this nutrient—and what that means for your long-term health. Dr. Venn-Watson’s research spans over 100 peer-reviewed studies, leading to the first essential fatty acid discovery in nearly a century. Her work is redefining how we approach nutrition, longevity, and skin health at the molecular level.

Stop Wasting Money! THIS Is Real Anti-Aging…

Stop Wasting Money! THIS Is Real Anti-Aging…

For years, skincare has been about quick fixes, hydration, plumping, and surface-level treatments that make your skin look better but don’t actually reverse aging. But what if the future of skincare wasn’t about temporary effects, but about reprogramming your skin at the cellular level? In this episode of Biohacking Beauty, I take a deep dive into longevity skincare and the science behind true skin rejuvenation. We’re going beyond the outdated skincare model and breaking down the Skin Longevity Matrix, a biohacking approach designed to restore youthful function from within. I cover why NAD+ is the "molecule of life" and a critical driver of skin repair, helping cells recover from oxidative stress and damage. We’ll explore how spermidine activates autophagy, the body’s natural detox system, to clear out aging cells and renew skin from the inside out.  I’ll also explain the essential role of copper peptides in collagen remodeling and why they’re key for structural skin regeneration. Plus, we’ll dive into the problem with traditional vitamin C and why advanced forms like MAP and THDA provide superior antioxidant protection without causing oxidative stress. Finally, I’ll break down how eliminating senescent “zombie cells” can dramatically slow down aging and prevent chronic inflammation in the skin. This is the next frontier of skincare—science-backed, longevity-focused, and designed to make your skin act younger, not just look younger.  If you’re ready to upgrade your skincare routine with the latest breakthroughs in anti-aging science, this episode is for you!

Nick Engerer: Your Skincare Routine Won’t Fix THIS Aging Problem

Nick Engerer: Your Skincare Routine Won’t Fix THIS Aging Problem

Today, we’re diving into something that goes way beyond skincare - how your skin is actually a powerful window into your overall health and longevity. Most people think of aging as just wrinkles and fine lines, but the reality is that what’s happening on the surface is a direct reflection of what’s going on at the cellular level. To explore this, I’m joined by Nick Engerer, a longevity scientist and the founder of A Longer Life, where he helps people take a data-driven, strategic approach to optimizing health and aging. Nick’s work is all about cutting through the noise, moving beyond trends and hype to focus on what actually works when it comes to extending healthspan and improving quality of life. In this episode, we get into why your skin and hair are some of the most revealing biomarkers of aging, how UV exposure accelerates biological aging in ways most people don’t realize, and what you can do to slow that process down. We also tackle one of the biggest challenges in wellness today, decision fatigue. With endless options for supplements, treatments, and interventions, how do you know what’s actually worth your time and money? Nick’s background is unique, he started as a solar radiation scientist before pivoting into longevity science, bringing a data-driven approach to proactive health. Through A Longer Life, he’s building a framework to help people apply longevity strategies in a practical, sustainable way. If you want to learn how to take control of your skin health, optimize your longevity, and navigate the overwhelming world of wellness with confidence, this episode is for you.

The Hidden Science of Skin Aging (And How to Reverse It)

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. With a background in epigenetics and functional medicine, she’s dedicated to helping individuals track and optimize their health using cutting-edge diagnostic tools.
