skincare routine by age: the science-backed protocol for your 20s, 30s, 40s and 50s
Most skincare routines are built by accumulation: a serum that went viral, a cream a friend swore by, whatever promised firmer skin that month. But what drives skin aging at 25 is not what drives it at 45, so a routine that never changes its priorities can spend years working on the wrong problem. And your birthday is only part of the picture. Some people's skin is running a decade ahead of their age, perimenopause can change what skin needs years before the 40s arrive, and the routine you will actually stick with is usually shorter than the one you think you need. So before you add another product, it is worth knowing what changes in your skin from one decade to the next and what each stage should prioritize. In this Biohacking Beauty Class, we walk through a skincare protocol for every decade, from protection in your 20s to correction in your 30s and recovery in your 40s, 50s, and beyond. We get into the research tying sun exposure to 80% of visible facial aging, why NAD+ declines in aging skin, what makes many exosome formulas questionable, how to tell if your skin is aging ahead of your age, and the red light specs that actually matter.

Dave Asprey: the uncomfortable conversation about aging naturally vs. biohacking
There is an interesting contradiction in the way we talk about aging. We celebrate using technology to improve sleep, metabolism, cognition, recovery, and longevity, but when the same mindset is applied to appearance, the conversation can suddenly become much more judgmental. In this episode of Biohacking Beauty, we sit down with Dave Asprey to explore that tension. We get into why he chose a facelift after major weight loss, whether cosmetic procedures belong in the biohacking conversation, and why wanting to look younger is often treated differently from wanting the rest of your body to function younger. Dave Asprey is a four-time New York Times bestselling author, founder of Bulletproof Coffee, CEO of Upgrade Labs, host of The Human Upgrade, and co-founder of Unlimited Life. We also talk about how he prepares his body before procedures, what he thinks people misunderstand about peptides, and his takes on GLP face, collagen supplements, Botox, stem cells, and the other tools people are using to change how they age.

the peptide skincare boom: separating skin science from marketing
Peptides are everywhere in skincare right now. They are in serums, moisturizers, lip products, cleansers, body washes, and even shampoos, all promising some version of smoother skin, more collagen, or fewer visible signs of aging. But seeing “peptides” on a label tells you very little about whether the product can actually deliver those results. Which peptide is being used? Is there research behind that specific ingredient? Is there enough of it in the formula? Can it get through the skin barrier? And what happens when it is combined with everything else inside the bottle? So before you buy another peptide serum because the ingredient sounds impressive, it is worth knowing what actually makes a peptide useful for your skin and how formulation, delivery, concentration, and the rest of your routine can affect whether it works at all. In this Biohacking Beauty Class, we are separating the science from the marketing around topical peptides. We get into which ones have more evidence behind them, what “Botox in a bottle” gets wrong, why some peptide products make more sense than others, and what to look for if your goal is supporting collagen, softening fine lines, and keeping your skin functioning well as it ages.

Dr. Staci Whitman: the surprising oral causes behind facial asymmetry and how your face ages | part 2
You probably know which side of your face you prefer in photos. One jawline may look sharper. One cheek may sit differently. One under-eye may look darker. And while some facial asymmetry is completely normal, the way you use your mouth can also influence how the two sides of your face function over time. In Part 2 of our conversation with Dr. Staci Whitman, we look at facial aging from inside the mouth. We get into how one-sided chewing, bite patterns, tongue function, palate width, airway health, and jaw structure can influence facial symmetry and the way changes become visible in the face. We also explore what adults can realistically do when the issue is structural rather than purely cosmetic. Dr. Staci breaks down the conversations happening around mastic gum, myofunctional therapy, palate expansion, MARPE, oral appliances, and tongue-tie releases, including why changing the way the mouth functions is much more complicated than trying the latest jawline trend online. Dr. Staci Whitman is a board-certified pediatric dentist and Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner whose work focuses on functional dentistry, airway health, craniofacial development, the oral microbiome, and the mouth-body connection. She is the co-founder of the Institute for Functional Dentistry and founder of Bloom + Brighten.

Dr. Staci Whitman: the “harmless” oral habits that could be reshaping your face and aging your skin | part 1
You can invest in your skincare, protect your collagen, and do everything you can to age well, while completely overlooking something that sits only a few inches away from your skin: your mouth. The way you breathe, chew, swallow, care for your gums, and support your oral microbiome can influence far more than your teeth. In this episode of Biohacking Beauty, we sit down with Dr. Staci Whitman to explore how oral health connects to facial structure, airway health, under-eye darkness, inflammation, blood flow, and the appearance of your skin. We also get into the everyday oral habits that may be working against you, what actually matters in an oral routine, and the facial signs that can make Dr. Staci suspect something deeper is going on. Dr. Staci Whitman is a board-certified pediatric dentist and Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner who specializes in the mouth-body connection, airway development, craniofacial growth, and the oral microbiome. She is the co-founder of the Institute for Functional Dentistry and founder of Bloom + Brighten, bringing functional medicine and systems biology into a part of health that is still often treated separately from the rest of the body.

Dr. Mamina Turegano: what your skin reveals about your health, aging & hormones
Most of us assume that if something serious was happening inside our body, we would know. We would feel sick. Something would hurt. A blood test would catch it. But some health problems can develop quietly for years, and sometimes the clue that finally gets your attention is sitting right where you can see it: on your skin. In this episode of Biohacking Beauty, we get into the skin changes that can point to something happening beyond the surface, from psoriasis and multiple skin tags to persistent rashes, hair loss, and subtle signs of skin cancer. We also talk about what makes a dermatologist look deeper, how long sun damage can build before it becomes visible, and when a skin concern deserves more than another product or treatment. Dr. Mamina Turegano is a triple board-certified dermatologist, internist, and dermatopathologist, giving her a unique perspective that connects what is happening on the skin with what may be happening throughout the body. Her background in internal medicine and dermatopathology allows her to look beyond the appearance of a skin change and consider the metabolic, autoimmune, inflammatory, and systemic conditions that may be connected to it.
