What if stress isn’t the reason your hormones are crashing, what if it’s the other way around? In this episode of Biohacking Beauty, we sit down with longevity clinician Dr. Sarah Daccarett to explore how early hormone decline sets women up for stress intolerance, immune dysfunction, and accelerated aging.

We will explain why telling women to “just de-stress” misses the point, how estrogen and progesterone regulate immune balance, and why autoimmune disease skyrockets when these hormones drop. We also dive into the role of environmental toxins and birth control in shutting down protective signaling, and why most standard hormone therapies fail because of outdated formulations and delivery systems.

You’ll hear why optimizing hormones in your 20s and 30s is critical for skin health, sleep, and vitality, why waiting until menopause is too late, and how Sarah is rethinking women’s health.

Dr. Sarah Daccarett is the founder of InnerBalance, a telehealth platform rethinking women’s hormone optimization with clinically precise dosing, advanced delivery systems, and ongoing clinical support in 46 states.

Why do most facial sprays feel great, but deliver nothing long term?

In this episode of Biohacking Beauty, we reveal the science behind our new Blue Peptide Spray, the first mist with a clinical dose of methylene blue, plus NAD+ precursors, GHK-Cu, and SOD. It’s designed to optimize mitochondrial energy, reduce oxidative stress, and support true skin repair.

We break down why methylene blue acts as a cyclic antioxidant, how it stacks with other longevity ingredients for visible results, and how our anti-staining technology makes it safe for daily use, even over makeup.

You’ll learn why this spray doesn’t just hydrate, it upgrades everything that comes after it. From improved collagen signaling to enhanced barrier recovery, Blue Peptide Spray sets a new standard in functional skincare.

What if your collagen cream isn’t working, because your skin doesn’t have the raw materials to use it?

In this episode of Biohacking Beauty we reveal the missing half of most people’s skincare: the internal protocol. From vitamin C as a collagen cofactor (“10x harder for your skin to build collagen without it”) to the role of omega-3s in plumping skin from the inside out, this episode lays out a step-by-step supplement strategy for real skin longevity.

We break down why oral hyaluronic acid outperforms topical forms in clinical trials, why senescent cells are not the root cause of aging (just a symptom), and how bioactives like NMN, ergothioneine, and astaxanthin actually get expressed in the skin, unlike most topicals.

We also discuss trends like matcha and how it outperforms coffee for skin health, and why oral senolytics like fisetin help eliminate zombie cells that drive inflammation and visible aging.

What if the reason your skin barrier keeps breaking down has nothing to do with your products, and everything to do with the water coming out of your tap?

In this episode, Leah Vairo, Chief Brand Officer at FilterBaby, joins us to reveal how chlorine, hard water minerals, and hidden contaminants in your shower or sink accelerate oxidative stress, disrupt the microbiome, and drain your skin’s NAD⁺ reserves. We dive deep on how unfiltered water weakens keratinocyte activity, fuels irritation and redness, and speeds up visible aging. even if you’re using the best skincare.

You’ll discover why most shower filters don’t actually work, the lab data showing filtered water improves hydration and wound healing. Plus, Leah shares the exact filtration criteria that matter (and which ones are marketing hype), and why filtered water is the foundation for every serum and peptide you apply.

What if the real reason your skin is aging faster has nothing to do with your skincare, and everything to do with your gut?

In this episode, Dr. Vincent Pedre, gut health expert joins us to uncover how leaky gut, dysbiosis, and hidden food sensitivities can trigger acne, eczema, redness, and premature wrinkles. We explain how gut inflammation accelerates collagen breakdown, fuels glycation, and weakens the skin barrier, and why restoring your microbiome can be more powerful than any topical cream.

There’s a point where even the best skincare starts to feel like it’s not doing enough. Serums stack up, results slow down. What no one tells you is that this might not be a product issue, it might be an energy issue. Specifically, cellular energy. NAD+.

You’ll learn why NAD+ declines with age, how that leads to slower healing, collagen breakdown, and pigmentation, and why traditional skincare can’t keep up. We explain the science behind topical NAD+ delivery, how it compares to IVs and supplements, and why your body doesn't prioritize skin when it’s low on resources.

We also break down the best NAD+ precursors (NMN vs NR vs niacinamide), how to track your NAD+ status, and which ingredients actually raise NAD+ levels in skin, not just systemically. You’ll discover how to combine fasting, HIIT, and smart supplementation to build an energy-optimized skincare routine that works from the inside out.

Plus, we reveal the research behind NAD+ Apex™, the latest innovation from Young Goose that boosts epigenetic repair and reduces wrinkle depth by 15% in just 10 weeks.

If you want your skin to keep up with your biohacking lifestyle, this episode is your protocol for recharging skin at the cellular level.

Most headlines make billion-dollar beauty acquisitions sound like the ultimate win, build fast, sell big, cash out. We see it differently. In this episode, we share why we turn down investor offers and why outside funding often marks the end of real innovation.

We break down what happens when profit-first investors take over: pressure to cut ingredient quality, cheapen packaging, and churn out unnecessary products. We explain why that goes against everything we build at Young Goose, science-backed, high-integrity formulas that put skin longevity first.

We talk about the kind of growth we do want, how we protect our creative freedom, and why staying independent keeps our research bold and our products uncompromised.

If you want to know what really happens behind the headlines, and why we believe mission matters more than the biggest buyout offer, this episode takes you inside our vision for the future.

What's Discussed:

(00:08) Why We Refuse Investor Money (Even When It’s Millions)

(15:53) The Growth Path That Keeps Our Innovation Alive

(20:40) How Our Ingredients Influence the Entire Skincare Industry

(22:31) Why We Compare Ourselves to Aesop — Not Rhodes or Rare

(24:17) The Real Reason We’re in Skincare (It’s Not the Buyout)

What if accelerated skin aging wasn’t about skincare at all, but about your metabolism?

In this episode, we’re joined by Ben Azadi, functional health coach, founder of Keto Kamp, and author of Metabolic Freedom. We unpack the link between metabolic flexibility and youthful skin, why being “stuck” as a sugar burner accelerates aging, and how insulin resistance silently damages your collagen, nitric oxide levels, and mitochondrial health, long before it shows up in labs.

You’ll also learn how skin tags reveal insulin issues, why seed oils might be worse than cigarettes, and what AGEs (advanced glycation end products) are doing to your glow. We break down the skin effects of glucose spikes, how autophagy rejuvenates the skin from within, and why fasting might be more effective than most beauty products.

Ben Azadi is a functional health coach, founder of Keto Kamp, and author of Metabolic Freedom and Keto Flex. He lost 80 pounds in 2008 and now helps millions optimize their metabolism through keto, fasting, and root-cause healing. Ben also hosts the Metabolic Freedom Podcast and has a global following across YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram.
