real talk on motherhood, postpartum skin, and rebuilding from the inside out with Anastasia Khodzhaeva
Mothers sacrifice so much of themselves to carry another human being in their body for nine months. Even after childbirth, there's a phase called the fourth trimester because babies are still heavily dependent on moms for their survival. Motherhood looks different for every woman. For Anastasia, who is a first-time mom, motherhood looked particularly different since her family is overseas and she's also running Young Goose with Amitay. Yet, there's something unique when a biohacker becomes a mom that new moms can learn from. In this Young Goose Mother's Day Special, we celebrate every mother who gives selflessly to their family. We also take a peek into Anastasia's life as a new mom, what changed in her body and mindset, and how she maintained her self-care while taking care of the family and the business. This episode will make you realize that it takes a village to raise a kid, but it takes a great mom to raise a kid and still come back to herself. Because the only way she can show up fully for others is when she can show up for herself first.

Why niacinamide is not the NAD+ hero you think it is
Most of the NAD+ skincare on shelves right now is built on a misunderstanding. And if you've been trusting niacinamide to do the heavy lifting, this episode is going to change how you read a label. This episode is Part 2 of our NAD+ deep dive. Here, we get into what actually works to raise NAD+ in the skin, the real precursors, the delivery technology that gets them where they need to go, and the mitochondrial support system most brands leave out. We also walk through the lifestyle levers that move the needle, and why one of them becomes non-negotiable for women after a certain age. If Part 1 explains what steals your NAD+, this episode is where the science gets practical and eye-opening.

Dr. Alan Bauman: why biohackers are losing their hair faster than everyone else
A lot of us treat hair loss the way skincare treats wrinkles, as a cosmetic problem to cover up. But almost every case of thinning, recession, or shedding has something deeper driving it, and by the time it shows up in the mirror, a significant amount of density is already gone. We at Young Goose believe that beauty is whole body care, and hair is one of the most metabolically active tissues in the body. It is also one of the first places systemic stress, hormone shifts, nutrient deficiencies, and inflammation show up. In this episode, Dr. Alan Bauman joins us to break down the biology of hair aging and the protocols that actually move the needle. Dr. Bauman is the founder of Bauman Medical in Boca Raton and one of the pioneers of modern hair restoration, with nearly three decades of clinical practice and more than 35,000 patients treated. His core message is simple and urgent: time equals follicles. Every week of delay is density you do not get back. And most people have no idea it is happening until the loss is already visible. We go deeper into this in the latest episode of Biohacking Beauty: The Anti-Aging Skincare Podcast. We also cover the hidden hair loss risks of GLP-1s and testosterone optimization, the precision diagnostics replacing guesswork, and the red light therapy details almost no one talks about. Let's dive in!

the NAD+ thief your skin can't escape: CD38, zombie cells, and the decline
Most people know NAD+ as a supplement trend. But very few understand what's actually happening inside their skin cells when it runs out or what's stealing it in the first place. By the time you're 45, you've lost half of the molecule that powers virtually every function keeping your skin young. Sadly, it only gets worse from there. The enzyme your skin uses for DNA repair can wipe out up to 90% of what's left after a single afternoon in the sun. This isn't a slow, graceful decline. It's a collapse happening beneath the surface long before the wrinkles appear. In this episode, we will nerd out and break down exactly why NAD+ disappears, who the thieves are, and what the science actually says about getting it back. From the sirtuin-PARP-CD38 trifecta to the zombie cell feedback loop that accelerates the drain with age, this is the most complete picture of NAD+ and skin aging we've put together to date. We also cover the real differences between NMN, NR, and niacin, why the precursor you choose actually matters, and what to stack with it to protect your methylation pathways.Ready to nerd out in this with us? Let's dive in!

Dani Conway: the gut-liver detox connection & how gut issues show up as skin issues
Most people treat their skin like a surface problem. But almost every persistent skin issue, from rosacea to eczema to accelerated aging, has something deeper driving it. That deeper driver is almost always the gut, the liver, or a backed-up detox pathway. We at Young Goose, always believe that skincare is whole body care and we want our community to identify the deeper causes of skin issues that products alone can’t fix. In this episode, functional nutrition practitioner Dani Conway joins us to break down why the skin is not the origin of the problem but the exit sign. When the body cannot eliminate toxins efficiently, they take the path of least resistance. For a lot of women, that path is the skin on their faces. Dani brings nearly 20 years of clinical practice to this conversation, along with a sharp, evidence-grounded perspective on why fixing hormones first is often the wrong starting point and what to address instead. We go deeper into this in the latest episode of Biohacking Beauty: The Anti-Aging Skincare Podcast. We also cover how to deal with food sensitivities, common misconceptions around hormones and blood sugar testing, and the use of GLP-1 and peptide use.

skin barrier protocol: how one reset makes every other skincare step work
Most people think that the stinging feeling, redness or tightness are always good signs of skin detoxification. Tricky enough, it can look like ‘glass skin’ or skin renewal. However, almost always the temporary tight and bright skin is a skin barrier issue in disguise. Skin barrier damage is one of the most misread signals in skincare. It looks like purging but it is actually your skin telling you it has been pushed past its limit. It’s easy to think there’s no damage at all because overexfoliation can temporarily give a satisfying baby skin at the cost of long-term skin wellness. One of the best ways to distinguish normal skin stimulation versus barrier damage is to understand your skin biology. As Anastasia always says, "We're not chasing a 10-day glow. We're chasing a 10-year outcome." We go deeper into this in the latest episode of Biohacking Beauty: The Anti-Aging Skincare Podcast. We also cover what real skin barrier repair should feel like, the pillars of skin wellness, and how to listen better to your skin to train it to become more resilient.
