You think you are healthy. Dr. Poonam Desai is here to prove you wrong.
Dr. Desai is a former emergency medicine physician turned longevity doctor who spent years watching people end up in the ER from conditions that were completely preventable. Now she is on a mission to help you get ahead of disease before it starts.

We cover:
Why BMI is a useless metric and what to track instead
The visceral fat and insulin resistance risk that hits South Asians harder
Why low ferritin (iron) is silently destroying your energy, focus, and mood
The Vitamin D mistake that can clog your arteries if you take it wrong
Fertility timelines your OB probably never told you about
Why sleep beats every supplement, biohack, and peptide on the market
The fiber gap: why 95% of Americans are deficient and how to fix it fast
How your morning coffee could be the most toxic thing in your routine
Building your children's gut microbiome before they are even born

Your health is your greatest wealth. This episode is your investment.

Everyone is talking about GLP-1s. But most people don't actually understand what GLP-1 is, where it came from, or why the injectable versions come with side effects like hair loss, muscle wasting, sunken face and mood flattening.I sat down with Becca McCarthy, co-founder of Evolv, a biotech company that has spent three years developing a patented oral GLP-1 peptide that mimics the same pathway as semaglutide and retatrutide without the injection, without the prescription and without those harsh side effects.We get into what GLP-1 actually is and why it is a hormone your body already makes, what food noise is and why silencing it changes your relationship with food entirely, why 97% of Americans are metabolically unhealthy and what that means for disease risk, how GLP-1 support helped Becca get through perimenopause when nothing else worked, why their 90-day clinical study is showing 12 pounds lost and 4 inches off the waist at the 8-week mark, how oral bioavailability works and why solving it is the biggest challenge in peptide science, why injectable GLP-1s can cause hair loss and what Evolv is doing differently, the connection between GLP-1s, sleep quality and chronic inflammation, and what is coming next including oral BPC-157 and GHK copper for hair.Get Evolv here:https://cm.watertight.co/l/BZHa🔔 Hit that subscribe button for exclusive access to thought-provoking podcasts, self-growth tips, inspiring guidance, empowerment for bold spirits, and more!https://www.youtube.com/@Biohack-it/?sub_confirmation=1 🔗 Stay Connected With Us.👉 Instagram (Biohack-it): http://instagram.com/biohack_it/ 👉 Instagram (Iman Hasan): http://instagram.com/imanhasan/ 👉 Website: http://biohack-it.com/ =============================🎬 Recommended Playlist👉 Season One https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQWTIuStNqibK2-K-T3GfnIxdLlK_KXMD 🎬 WATCH OUR OTHER VIDEOS:👉 Revolutionize Your Health with Dr. Vincent Pedre: The Transformative Power of Plant Medicine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcvHjUFT0-w 👉 Why Modern Relationships Fail: Expert Insights from Jillian Turecki https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qseduflV5oo 👉 Carolina Reis, PhD on Reversing Aging and Keeping Skin Healthy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOf9SqMYtqg 👉 Dr. John Kim on Debunking Detoxification Myths | Biohack-it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kuQtZ4A_Ao 👉 Inside the Operating Room with New York's Hottest Plastic Surgeons https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sku8y9y-AuM =============================✅ About Biohack-it.Welcome to Biohack-it!

I have been obsessed with layered laser treatments ever since I saw what clinics in Korea were doing and started wondering why nobody in the West was offering the same thing. Then I found Rebecca Treston. She has been layering multiple lasers at once for over 20 years and she is doing it better than anyone I have come across.In this episode I sit down with her right after my own treatment and we break down exactly what she did to my skin and why. We get into how the layering method works and why a single laser can never fully address what is happening in your skin, the Stanford BBL study that showed a laser can actually reverse gene expression in aging skin, why she avoids fillers and what happened when a dissolving treatment collapsed one side of her own face, why she stopped doing HIFU and what the long term consequences are of overdoing it, how hormones like testosterone and estrogen show up directly on your skin, what she thinks about the Korea laser trend and why it has no real strategy behind it, the difference between melasma and hyperpigmentation and how to treat each, why she starts patients on collagen banking in their mid 20s, and why she fasted for two weeks straight and looked like she had a facelift.Keywords: Rebecca Treston laser treatment Dubai, layered laser skin treatment, BBL laser gene expression, melasma treatment, collagen banking, laser vs filler, Korean laser trend, skin aging 30s 40s, AviClear acne laser, Biohack-it podcast, inflamaging, skin rejuvenationSponsors:Try Branch Basics:20% off Premium Starter Kit https://branchbasics.com/BIOHACKIT20 Code:Biohackit20🔔 Hit that subscribe button for exclusive access to thought-provoking podcasts, self-growth tips, inspiring guidance, empowerment for bold spirits, and more!https://www.youtube.com/@Biohack-it/?sub_confirmation=1 🔗 Stay Connected With Us.👉 Instagram (Biohack-it): http://instagram.com/biohack_it/ 👉 Instagram (Iman Hasan): http://instagram.com/imanhasan/ 👉 Website: http://biohack-it.com/ =============================🎬 Recommended Playlist👉 Season One https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLQWTIuStNqibK2-K-T3GfnIxdLlK_KXMD 🎬 WATCH OUR OTHER VIDEOS:👉 Revolutionize Your Health with Dr. Vincent Pedre: The Transformative Power of Plant Medicine https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcvHjUFT0-w 👉 Why Modern Relationships Fail: Expert Insights from Jillian Turecki https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qseduflV5oo 👉 Carolina Reis, PhD on Reversing Aging and Keeping Skin Healthy https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOf9SqMYtqg 👉 Dr. John Kim on Debunking Detoxification Myths | Biohack-it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kuQtZ4A_Ao 👉 Inside the Operating Room with New York's Hottest Plastic Surgeons https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sku8y9y-AuM =============================✅ About Biohack-it.Welcome to Biohack-it!

have been wanting to sit down with Dr. Darshan Shah for three years. We finally made it happen at South by Southwest in Austin and it did not disappoint.Dr. Shah is the founder of Next Health, one of the most advanced longevity and functional medicine clinics in the world with over 30 locations. He is also a surgeon who performed over 20,000 procedures and then had a personal health crisis in his early 40s that changed everything. He was 50 pounds overweight, had high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and an autoimmune condition, and was on 10 different medications at the same time.He fixed all of it in 8 months through functional medicine. And he has never gone back.In this episode we talk about the hidden causes of inflammation that show up even in people who think they have a clean lifestyle. Why your toothpaste and Listerine are sabotaging your health. The biomarkers every person should be testing and what optimal actually looks like versus disease state. Why 80 to 90 percent of the surgeries he performed over his career could have been avoided. How AI is now reading thousands of your health data points and finding connections that even experienced doctors miss. What Therapeutic Plasma Exchange actually does to your blood and why it is being used to reverse biological age. The truth about peptides and why buying them without a prescription from online sources is genuinely dangerous. What the NVIDIA founder said about the future of human biology that stopped Dr. Shah in his tracks. And the one functional lab test he would take to a desert island.This is one of the most information dense episodes we have done on Biohack-it. You will want to take notes.Sponsors:Try Branch Basics:20% off Premium Starter Kit https://branchbasics.com/BIOHACKIT20 Code:Biohackit20Rho Nutrition:Check out Rho's Liposomal NAD+ at rhonutrition.com and Use code BIOHACKIT for 20% off sitewide.

Sleep is the one thing I know I need to be better about. And when I found Dr. Chris Winter, I knew he was the person I wanted sitting across from me for this conversation.

Dr. Winter is a neurologist and one of the leading sleep experts in the country. He has spent his career working with everyone from elite athletes to everyday people who just cannot get their sleep right. And in this episode, he told me a lot of things I did not expect to hear.

We talk about why your Oura ring score is probably making your sleep worse, not better. Why sleeping longer is not the same as sleeping better. What your brain is actually doing while you sleep and what happens when it stops doing it. The link between poor sleep and dementia, and why the research says you can change that outcome even if you carry the gene. How alcohol destroys your sleep even if it helps you fall asleep fast. What a proper melatonin dose actually looks like and why most people are doing it wrong. Why waking up at night is completely normal and not what your tracker is making you think it is. The one supplement combination Dr. Winters says is backed by real research. And why falling asleep in under two minutes is a red flag, not a flex.

This episode completely changed the way I think about sleep. I hope it does the same for you.
