    Biohacking Autism and Caregiver Burnout: When Staying Healthy Isn't Optional - Nadia Elkhatib

    10/08/2026 | 1h 8 mins.
    Are you a mom who has put her own health on the back burner because someone else needs you more? Or maybe you're caring for a child with autism or an aging parent and have no idea where to even begin when it comes to your own wellbeing? 
    We cover:
    What 21 years of caring for a child with autism actually taught one mom about the human body

    Why caregivers are silently aging faster and what to do about it before it's too late

    The biological layers underneath an autism diagnosis that most doctors never address

    The specific blood labs that need to be optimized that could be the first domino for both you and your child

    What really happens when you stop sacrificing your health and start treating yourself like a patient too

     
    Nadia Elkhatib hosts Biohacking Autism, a weekly podcast bringing biohacking, peptides, and functional medicine to autism families. Nadia spent years working in Silicon Valley tech before her son Jimmy's autism diagnosis pulled her into a different kind of research entirely. For 19 years she has worked on the integrative side of autism: biomedical protocols and most recently hormone and thyroid optimization. After her own labs surfaced significant metabolic and hormonal dysfunction, she expanded her work into caregiver longevity, the recognition that her own healthspan is her son's safety net. Real solutions for people with autism and the ones who love them.

    Stop Supplementing, Start Replenishing: Minerals in Menopause - Caroline Alan

    07/08/2026 | 1h 5 mins.
    Are you taking your supplements, eating well, maybe even on HRT, but you're still exhausted, still not sleeping, still dealing with brain fog and hair loss? Did you know that if you are taking calcium supplements for your bones, this could actually backfire and deplete your bones of minerals? 
    We cover:
    Why taking more calcium can actually lower how much your body absorbs

    The surprising link between sugar cravings and what your cells are really asking for

    What "empty water" is doing to your mineral levels every single day

    Why your go-to magnesium habit might be working against your bone density

    The difference between supplementing and replenishing, and why it changes how everything else works, including HRT




    Caroline Alan is a mineral expert, and educator on a mission to shift the way we think about cellular health. She dove into the world of plant-based minerals and their profound ability to help the body restore its natural balance. Caroline explored microbiology, molecular and cellular biology, agricultural soil science, and plant decomposition to understand why minerals are essential and how they truly work in the body. Now, as Co-Founder and CEO of BEAM Minerals, Caroline's all in on sharing this vital knowledge with the world. Affectionately known as "The Mineral Geek," Caroline is celebrated for her rare ability to explain complex scientific concepts in clear, relatable terms.
