Hey everyone, welcome back to Biohacking Beauty! Today, we’re exploring one of the most fundamental mechanisms of aging—telomeres. These nucleotide sequences at the ends of our chromosomes act as protective caps, preserving DNA integrity during cell division. However, each time a cell replicates, telomeres shorten, eventually leading to cellular senescence, dysfunction, or apoptosis.
In this solo episode, I’m breaking down the molecular mechanisms behind telomere shortening, how factors like oxidative stress, inflammation, and metabolic dysfunction accelerate the process, and, most importantly, what we can do to slow or even reverse this decline.
We’ll dive into the latest research on NAD metabolism, autophagy, telomerase activation, and epigenetic regulation, as well as practical interventions like targeted supplementation, lifestyle modifications, and advanced skincare strategies that support telomere stability.
If you’re serious about cellular longevity, DNA repair, and optimizing your skin health at the deepest level, this episode is a must-listen.
Let’s get into it!
I Also Discuss:
(01:33 - 02:15) What Are Telomeres and Why Do They Matter?
(03:42 - 04:19) The Hidden Danger of Cellular Aging
(08:48 - 09:12) Can You Actually Reverse Telomere Shortening?
(12:45 - 13:27) Why Your Skin Shows Signs of Aging First
(10:41 - 11:12) The Best Supplements to Protect Your DNA

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.

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!

Most of us have heard of exfoliation, and you may already be incorporating this step into your routine. But did you know that exfoliation plays a pivotal role in keeping your skin radiant and healthy? Think of exfoliation as prepping a canvas before painting. Just like you wouldn't apply fresh paint on a wall without preparing it first, you shouldn't apply skincare products on a layer of dead skin cells.
Welcome to another episode of the Biohacking Beauty podcast brought to you by Young Goose Skincare! In this episode, host Amitay Eshel, the CEO of Young Goose, dives into an essential step in your skincare routine: exfoliation. He covers why exfoliation is crucial for maintaining healthy skin, and the difference between chemical and mechanical exfoliation. Plus, he shares the importance of understanding the needs of your skin.
What we discuss:
[00:02:25] Why skin cell turnover is crucial for maintaining healthy skin
[00:03:15] Chemical vs. mechanical exfoliation
[00:04:08] The benefits of proper exfoliation
[00:08:22] Why understanding the needs of your skin is essential
Key Takeaways:
Exfoliation plays an important role in enhancing the absorption and effectiveness of skincare products. By removing the layer of dead skin cells on the surface of your skin, exfoliation allows the active ingredients in skincare products to penetrate more deeply and work more effectively. This means that your moisturizers, serums, and treatments can better target and address specific skin concerns, resulting in improved overall skincare results.There are two primary types of exfoliation: mechanical and chemical. Mechanical or physical exfoliation entails physically scrubbing the skin using an abrasive substance. In contrast, chemical exfoliation involves using ingredients such as acids or enzymes that dissolve the glue binding the dead skin cells together.Understanding the specific requirements of your skin is vital for effective exfoliation. Oily skin, for instance, often faces issues like excessive dead skin cells and clogged pores. Frequent exfoliation can be beneficial in maintaining a clearer complexion for oily skin types. On the other hand, dry skin may require a gentler approach to exfoliation, as it tends to be more sensitive.Learn More about Young Goose:

Could artificial intelligence revolutionize personalized healthcare and skincare—or is its potential being overstated?
I had the incredible opportunity to join Stephanie on her Change Life Destiny Podcast to discuss one of the most fascinating topics in healthcare today: the role of AI in shaping the future of personalized health and skincare.
In our conversation, we explored how AI is being utilized to diagnose conditions, develop smarter skincare solutions, and even redefine how practitioners and patients approach health optimization. But here’s the twist—AI, as powerful as it is, can’t replace human expertise. I shared my perspective on why the balance between cutting-edge technology and practitioner insight is critical for creating strategies that truly work.
We also touched on the concept of 'prejuvenation,' a proactive approach to enhancing recovery and skin rejuvenation, and shared real-life success stories that demonstrate the remarkable synergy between innovation and expertise.
This episode is packed with actionable insights and forward-thinking ideas for anyone interested in biohacking, longevity, and achieving optimal skin health.
