She Was a Corporate Lawyer. Then She Asked Herself One Question That Changed Everything. Mar 27, 2026

Show notes

What does it actually take to walk away from a successful career and build something that genuinely fulfills you?

Erika De Pellegrin did exactly that. Corporate lawyer in Australia. New continent. New career. New baby. All of it — on her own terms.

We talked about the moment she realized her job title wasn't her identity, why who you marry is the most important decision you'll make, how she balanced motherhood with building a podcast that blew up, and why women evolve in ways most people never fully account for.

This one is for every woman who has ever asked herself: is this it?

Frequency Medicine: How to ”Reset” Your Body Without Pills or Supplements Mar 19, 2026

Show notes

I have been obsessed with frequency medicine since last year, but after sitting down with Henry and Laura from Soaak Technologies, I realized we are only scratching the surface of what’s possible. This isn't "woo-woo"—this is clinical-grade technology currently being used by the U.S. Air Force to optimize pilot performance and mission readiness.

In this episode, we dive into the science of Sympathetic Resonance and how sound frequency compositions can literally turn your "square tires" into round ones. Henry and Laura share the incredible journey of taking these modalities from a high-end clinic in Oklahoma to a global app that is now changing lives in 190 countries.

”Better Divorced With A Kid Than No Kid.” | Nada Baeshen Mar 12, 2026

Show notes

I’ve always been fascinated by the strength of Saudi women, but my conversation with Nada Baeshen went deeper than I ever expected. In this episode of Biohack It, we’re pulling back the curtain on what marriage, divorce, and financial independence really look like in the Middle East—and I’m sharing a massive personal update about my own life.Nada, one of the biggest TV presenters in the Kingdom, opens up about why she preaches financial freedom as the only way for women to truly "take their power back." We discuss the cultural pressure to get married, the fear of "being old" at 32, and the heartbreaking reason she shifted her entire life toward wellness after her father’s dementia diagnosis.Plus, I’m being completely transparent with you guys for the first time: I am going through a conscious uncoupling at 42. We dive into why choosing yourself is sometimes the hardest—and healthiest—biohack you can perform. If you’ve ever felt stuck in a relationship or a career that no longer aligns with your frequency, this masterclass on resilience and starting over is for you.

Dermatologist Reveals: ”90% Of Your Skincare Is A Scam. Stop Buying It.” Mar 05, 2026

Show notes

I finally sat down with the incredible Dr. Natalia Spierings, and she is exactly the kind of pattern-interrupt this industry needs. Natalia isn’t just a UK-trained consultant dermatologist and surgeon—she is also a professional IFBB bodybuilder. Today, we are cutting through the multi-billion dollar marketing hype to get to the "no bullshit" truth about your skin and your body.

In this episode, Natalia exposes why most skincare products are essentially useless and why she believes Vaseline is closer to magic than any luxury serum. We dive deep into the science of Tretinoin, the dangers of long-term fillers (and the "alien" looks they can create), and why fat transfer might be a better surgical alternative for under-eye rejuvenation.

We also discuss the bodybuilding mindset: why most women fail to change their body composition despite lifting weights, and the power of DEXA scanning to keep you accountable. If you’re tired of "hope in a bottle" and want a straightforward, evidence-based approach to longevity and anti-aging, this masterclass is for you.

The Pregnancy Doctor: These 3 Toxins Are Making You Infertile! Feb 26, 2026

Show notes

I have followed Dr. Natalie Crawford for years, and having her on the show is a true full-circle moment for me. As a board-certified reproductive endocrinologist, Natalie is a beacon of knowledge for anyone navigating a fertility journey. In this episode, she gets incredibly raw about her own struggle with infertility and how being gaslit by the medical system led her to discover the "big dirty secret" of reproductive health: inflammation.

We dive deep into the science of ovarian aging and why your "biological clock" is about more than just your age. Natalie explains how mitochondrial health and insulin resistance are the real drivers of egg quality and how you can proactively lower your inflammatory burden through sleep, nutrition, and nervous system regulation. Whether you are considering IVF, egg freezing, or just want to understand your hormones better, this masterclass in preventive care is for you.

In this episode, we discuss:

The connection between chronic stress, cortisol, and fertility loss.

Why building skeletal muscle is the key to fighting insulin resistance.

The truth about forever chemicals (PFCs) in your kitchen and water.

The latest research on Rapamycin and PRP for ovarian longevity.

A step-by-step guide to cycle tracking and identifying ovulation signs.

”The Skinny-Fat Crisis” — Dr. Amy Shah on South Asian Genetics & The Cortisol Reset Feb 19, 2026

Show notes

I have been trying to get Dr. Amy Shah on Biohack-it for 18 months, and we finally made it happen while filming in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. As two South Asian women, we dive straight into a conversation that hits close to home: why our race is built so petite yet remains at a significantly higher risk for type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer’s, and heart disease than other populations.In this episode, Dr. Amy Shah breaks down the fascinating science of "thrifty genes"—the biological survival mechanism from ancestral famines that makes our bodies hold onto sugar differently. We discuss the "skinny-fat" phenomenon and how modern lifestyle choices, like processed seed oils and a lack of protein, are creating a metabolic crisis. Dr. Shah shares her proprietary 30-3-3 rule for gut health and her signature "cortisol reset" to help you regulate your nervous system and reclaim your energy.Sponsors: Vibrant Wellness: Get the Hormone Zumra test to understand your body’s unique needs.

Why I Left a 22-Year Career to Save Lives: A CEO’s Raw Q&A Feb 12, 2026

Show notes

I’m getting really uncomfortable today. My team told me it was time for "More of Me," so I’m sitting down to answer the questions you sent in on Instagram—nothing is off the table. From my divorce and the move to Dubai to the heartbreaking reason I pivoted my entire career into health and wellness after losing my mother to terminal cancer, this is the most personal I’ve ever been.

We’re diving deep into the biohacking protocols I use to stay high-performing while running two companies. I’m sharing my exact 2026 peptide stack (including BPC-157 and GHK-Cu), the truth about cellular health, and the one supplement I will never live without. We also discuss my life-changing Ayahuasca journey in Mexico and how it helped me find peace with my father's passing. If you’ve ever felt like a victim of your circumstances, I want to show you how to become the hero of your own story through curiosity, accountability, and the right nervous system regulation.

In this episode, we cover:

My move to the Middle East and the future of the UAE.

The "Nesting" method for co-parenting after divorce.

How to spot a "fraud" in the wellness industry.

The science of mitochondria, cortisol regulation, and box breathing.

Stop Taking Peptides Until You Watch This. (Dr. Ivan Rusilko) Feb 05, 2026

Show notes

In this episode, I sit down with a man who was instrumental in my own healing journey: the "medical shaman" himself, Dr. Ivan Rusilko. We’re diving deep into the hot topic taking over the US right now—peptides. But we aren't just talking about the surface-level trends; we're breaking down the critical difference between medical-grade and "research" peptides, and why where you source your "key" to cellular health matters more than you think.

I share the vulnerable story of my own nervous system breakdown and why I chose to ignore the recommendation for SSRIs, opting instead for a four-week protocol with Ivan that didn't just bring me back to life—it made me feel better than my original self. We also discuss his incredible work reversing "incurable" conditions, including a 96% drop in cancer markers for a Stage 4 patient and restoring the quality of life for an 85-year-old battling Parkinson’s.

From the neuroplasticity of ketamine and the "miracle grow" properties of Cerebrolysin to the spiritual "Law of Amplification," this episode is an masterclass in living an extravagant, healthy, and high-frequency life.

“Why Women Lose Respect for Weak Men” — Sadia Khan UNFILTERED on Relationships & Controversy Jan 29, 2026

Show notes

I have always believed that "curiosity heals," and today I am sitting down with one of the most talked-about women on the internet: Sadia Khan, PhD, MBA. You’ve likely seen her viral clips on TikTok or Instagram, and while she is no stranger to controversy, I wanted to peel back the layers and hear her side of the story—from her "big dirty secret" involving a years-long setup to the truth about her background as a psychology teacher.

We dive deep into the differences between Eastern and Western family values, why "similarity feels like settling" in modern dating, and the biological wiring that makes women crave dominance and protection. Sadia doesn't hold back on the "soy boy" crisis, the toxicity of weaponizing intimacy, and why she believes a man's most important trait isn't his height or his money—it’s his intelligence and his ability to see through manipulation. Whether you agree with her or not, this conversation is a masterclass in understanding the hidden dynamics of the modern home.
