Hosted by the founders of Young Goose, Amitay Eshel and Anastasia Khodzhaeva, this podcast moves beyond \"single-molecule\" trends to uncover the multi-mechanism protocols required to optimize the body’s largest organ. We bridge the gap between systemic longevity research and topical application. By hosting world-renowned experts in mitochondrial health, epigenetic signaling, and regenerative medicine, we translate complex research into actionable strategies for biological recalibration. From the 12 Hallmarks of Aging to the latest in bio-harmonizing lifestyle shifts, Biohacking Beauty provides the molecular tools and insights needed to align your skin’s appearance with your body’s peak biological potential.","last_synced_at":"2026-09-16T16:20:58.251623+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/biohacking-beauty-the-anti-aging-skincare-podcast-1375977"},"episode":{"title":"The Overlooked Side of Autophagy Causing Aging - Part 1","slug":"the-overlooked-side-of-autophagy-causing-aging-part-1","published_at":"2026-05-20T08:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/biohacking-beauty-the-anti-aging-skincare-podcast-1375977/the-overlooked-side-of-autophagy-causing-aging-part-1","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/biohacking-beauty-the-anti-aging-skincare-podcast-1375977","url":"HTTPS://www.younggoose.com","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/4033b68e-3886-4b3c-b618-855aa3980ba5.mp3","summary":"What if your skin could literally rebuild itself from the inside out? In this episode, we break down one of the most powerful and misunderstood biological processes in the human body: autophagy. From its Nobel Prize-winning discovery to the molecular machinery that drives it, we walk you through exactly what autophagy is, how it works at the cellular level, and why it matters far more than most people realize for skin aging. We explore the two master switches that control autophagy, mTOR and AMPK, and how the constant tug of war between them determines whether your cells are in build mode or cleanup mode. We also explain why most people in the modern world are stuck in permanent mTOR activation, and what that means for how their skin ages over time. This is Part 1 of our deep dive. In Part 2, we go skin-specific and break down exactly how autophagy renews your skin at the tissue level. What's Discussed: (0:19) The \"phoenix process\": the cellular mechanism rebuilding your skin from the inside out (3:14) What autophagy actually means, and why the science world ignored it for 30 years (4:47) How baker's yeast cracked the code that won the 2016 Nobel Prize (7:14) Inside a single skin cell: the step-by-step breakdown of how autophagy actually works (10:22) Why autophagy is not destruction, and what this means for your collagen supplements (16:44) The two master switches controlling whether your cells build or clean (20:10) The everyday habit silencing your body's most powerful anti-aging system (26:17) Why aging skin isn't broken, it has just never been told to clean Resources Mentioned: Biohacking Beauty Podcast: Ben Azadi: Why 93% of Americans Are Aging Too Fast + What to Do About It: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ben-azadi Find more from Young Goose: Use code PODCAST10 t…","meta_description":"What if your skin could literally rebuild itself from the inside out?
