7 Botox Myths You’ve Believed – Until Now
In today’s episode, Anastasia and I are diving into a topic that’s on everyone’s lips—Botox. It’s become a standard in many beauty routines, but the truth is, Botox isn’t as simple as it’s made out to be. While it can smooth out wrinkles, repeated use can actually change the way your face moves and functions, leading to long-term issues like muscle atrophy and loss of natural expression. We’re not here to scare you, but to arm you with the knowledge you need to make informed, empowered decisions about your skin. We’re breaking down 7 key facts about Botox you NEED to know, including why overuse could mess with your facial muscles, and why it’s not the “preventative” miracle some people think it is. Botox is a tool—use it wisely, and with the right approach. Tune in for a smarter, more sustainable approach to aging. This one’s for anyone who’s had Botox, is thinking about it, or just wants to understand how it works.

This is Why Your Neck Needs More Care Than Your Face!
In today’s episode, Anastasia and I are tackling a topic that doesn’t get enough attention in skincare: your neck and chest. These areas age faster than your face, and most people completely overlook them in their routines. But why? The skin here is thinner, less hydrated, and more vulnerable to environmental stress. Gravity, sun damage, and even posture all contribute to crepey skin and sagging. We’re diving into the biology of why the neck and chest age faster and what you can do about it. We’ll talk about essential strategies to keep your skin firm, hydrated, and youthful, including the importance of SPF, collagen-boosting ingredients, and why facial exercises matter. Plus, we’re introducing our game-changing Youth Firming Neck and Chest Cream—designed specifically for these delicate areas. If you want to protect your neck and chest like you protect your face, this episode is for you!

These Invisible Forces Are Aging Your Skin Faster Than You Think
In this episode, we’re diving deep into a truth most skincare routines ignore: your environment might be aging you faster than time ever could. We start with a story of two identical twins, same genes, same skincare habits, but drastically different aging outcomes. Why? One lived surrounded by clean nature. The other, in an urban jungle filled with air pollution, EMFs, blue light, and toxic stress. The difference wasn’t just visible, it was cellular. In this episode, I explore how environmental stressors silently sabotage your skin by disrupting three critical biological systems. First, they deplete NAD+, second, they interfere with your epigenetic expression. And third, they impair autophagy, your body’s natural recycling system. I’ll walk you through the Skin Longevity Matrix, a radically different framework we developed at Young Goose to reverse aging from the inside out, by supporting your skin at its biological roots, not just masking symptoms at the surface.

Dr. Jessica Shepherd: The Shocking Truth About Menopause & Skin Aging (Most People Get This Wrong!)
Most people think menopause is just about hot flashes and mood swings—but what if I told you it’s actually one of the biggest drivers of skin aging? From collagen loss to increased sensitivity, breakouts, and inflammation, hormonal shifts can make you look older, faster. And yet, no one is talking about it. To uncover the real impact of menopause on skin health (and what you can do about it), I’m joined by Dr. Jessica Shepherd, an OB-GYN, menopause expert, and founder of Sanctum Med & Wellness. She’s on a mission to rewrite the menopause narrative, showing women how to take control of their skin, hormones, and longevity. In this episode, we dive into the real impact of estrogen decline on skin aging, why some women experience sudden breakouts or rosacea in midlife, and how hormone replacement therapy (HRT) can play a role in both skin health and longevity. We also explore the connection between gut health, inflammation, and skin vitality, as well as the cutting-edge treatments and biohacking strategies that are changing the game for menopausal women. Dr. Shepherd is also the author of Generation M, a book that serves as both a medical and lifestyle guide for women navigating this stage of life. She breaks down why menopause isn’t just a phase, it’s a long-term shift that requires a strategic approach to aging well. If you’re looking for science-backed strategies to optimize your skin, hormones, and overall well-being through perimenopause and menopause, this episode is a must-listen.

Why Red Light Therapy in Your Skincare Routine Isn’t Enough (Until You Add THIS)
Your skin is a reflection of your cellular health—but what if you could influence it on a deeper level? Red light therapy (photobiomodulation) is changing the way we think about aging, collagen production, and inflammation. In this episode of the Biohacking Beauty podcast, Amitay Eshel and Anastasia Khodzhaeva, co-founders of Young Goose Skincare, break down how red light therapy impacts skin longevity, from boosting collagen to reducing inflammation. They explain what determines individual results, the common mistakes people make, and how to get the most out of this powerful technology. But here’s the truth that not everyone knows: using red light therapy alone isn’t enough. To truly support skin regeneration, it needs the right biochemical environment. That’s where our newest LADR serum comes in—optimizing ATP production and reducing oxidative stress to help your skin work smarter. We break down exactly how to integrate this into your skincare routine, from layering antioxidants to timing your treatments for maximum benefit.
