Alex Tarnava: what hydrogen really does to your skin
Molecular hydrogen is often described as a selective antioxidant, but that framing is incomplete. In this episode, we explore hydrogen as a mitochondrial hormetic signal that can influence redox balance, inflammatory regulation, and adaptive stress pathways. The key distinction is that delivery route changes mechanism. Oral, inhaled, and topical hydrogen act differently in the body, with different kinetics, tissue distribution, and biological implications. We dive deeper into this in the Biohacking Beauty Podcast with Alex Tarnava. We discuss why topical hydrogen is gaining attention for skin outcomes, how gut-mediated signaling may drive systemic effects, and why interpreting evidence requires understanding study design, delivery method, and real-world product variability.

Dr. Scott Sherr: why chronic stress disrupts mitochondria and accelerates visible skin aging
Chronic stress isn’t just a mental or emotional burden. It creates a biological cascade that disrupts mitochondrial function, accelerates inflammation, and shows up visibly in the skin long before deeper symptoms appear. We dive deeper into this in the Biohacking Beauty Podcast with Dr. Scott Sherr. We also talk about the sympathetic spiral of doom, why skin reflects mitochondrial decline before other symptoms appear, and why sequencing interventions matter more than intensity. Dr. Scott Sherr is a board-certified internal medicine physician certified in Health Optimization Medicine (HOMe) and a specialist in Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. He is the COO of Troscriptions and focuses clinically on mitochondrial health, stress physiology, and advanced recovery protocols.

Anastasia (Beauty Fascia): facial fascia and massage lymphatic drainage for younger-looking skin
Fascia is one of the most overlooked conversations in skin aging. We spend so much time thinking about collagen, serums, injectables, and trending tools, but very few people are talking about the structural system underneath the skin that influences how we actually age. If you are dealing with under-eye puffiness, jaw tension, posture changes, facial asymmetry, or feeling like your face looks more tired than it should, this episode explores a deeper layer of the conversation. We dive into fascia, fluid movement, breathing patterns, and why your neck and jaw may be playing a much bigger role in your appearance than you realize. In this conversation, we break down what fascia really is in simple terms and how it connects to collagen production, lymphatic drainage, nervous system regulation, and facial structure over time. Anastasia is a board-certified Structural Integration Therapist trained in kinesiology, facial muscle neuro rehabilitation, neurovascular release, myofascial release, traditional Chinese medicine, and acupressure. Over the past five years, she has pursued global mentorships and seminars focused on structural and facial regeneration, bringing together multiple disciplines to support facial health, tissue quality, and overall structural balance.

Dr. Jila Senemar, MD: how early perimenopause and insulin resistance drive skin aging
Being told your labs are “normal” and your cycle is still regular does not mean your metabolism and hormones are stable. Early insulin resistance can quietly increase inflammation, drive midsection fat gain, and accelerate skin aging years before menopause is officially diagnosed. In this Biohacking Beauty episode with Dr. Jila Senemar, we break down why regular periods do not rule out perimenopause, why building muscle is one of the most powerful metabolic tools in midlife, and how early testing like DEXA scans can reveal hidden bone loss long before standard guidelines would ever check. Dr. Jila Senemar is a board-certified OB/GYN with more than 20 years of clinical experience. She is a menopause specialist certified by The Menopause Society and a longevity physician. Her clinical work focuses on perimenopause, menopause, hormone therapy, and midlife women’s health.

Jess Kane: how omega ratios, low fat diets, and damaged cell membranes trigger skin aging
Advanced skincare routines are more popular than ever, yet dryness, laxity, and visible aging still persist. The issue isn’t effort or discipline. It’s that skin aging is being treated as a surface-level problem instead of a cellular and structural one. We dive deeper into this in the latest Biohacking Beauty Podcast with Jess Kane. We also chat about how cell membrane health shapes visible aging, why omega fats are widely misunderstood, and how most “liposomal” supplements never reach the cell. Jessica Kane is the Co-Owner and Chief Marketing Officer of BodyBio, a third-generation wellness company specializing in cellular health. She works alongside healthcare practitioners and researchers to translate complex cell membrane and lipid science into practical, evidence-based solutions.

Valentine’s day special: our top skincare recommendations for each other as co-founders + life partners
It’s Valentine’s Day, and while we don’t usually shape our work around holidays, this one felt different because we’re not just co-founders of Young Goose, we’re life partners. For us, care has always shown up in daily choices and consistency, the same philosophy behind how we think about skin longevity. In this special episode, we flip the format and recommend ingredients to each other based on real-time skin needs. We get into methylene blue, NAD support, ectoin, retinol, and repair-focused actives through the lens of cellular energy, inflammation control, repair, and long-term resilience. If you’re listening on Valentine’s Day, we’re honored you’re spending it with us. And if you’re tuning in any other day, we’re just as glad you’re here. Either way, this conversation is about care that lasts and the small, intentional choices that add up over time.
