Why I Left a 22-Year Career to Save Lives: A CEO's Raw Q&A

Why do you think so many wellness doctors are so ill? Why do you think some of them are not mentally stable? Why do you think some are narcissistic? How did you start into health and wellness and what was the process in deciding what supplements to start with and why? How has ayahuasca shaped your relationships with your emotions? What steps do you take to regulate your nervous system? How do you run two companies? What do you do and what do you delegate? One supplement that I cannot live without, I wanted to never have anybody else experience what I had experienced with my mom and felt so clueless and the treatments that she was given. In hindsight, I would have never have allowed her to... Welcome to More of Me. We're going to give more of me to you guys. So anyways, last week I dropped onto my Instagram. I said, most of you have been following me for a while. Most of you are new to my page and we haven't connected in a minute. So send me all your questions. Nothing is off the table. What do you want to know? How do you want to get to know me better? And we got some questions. So I'm sitting here to film and answer those questions. So I have a question for your solo episode. How did you start into health and wellness? And what was the process in deciding what supplements to start with and why? So how did I start in health and wellness? So I had, it's a twofold answer. I had been building luxury brands, retail design, fashion, hospitality for almost 22 years. my mom got really sick in 2022 with turbo cancer and at the time our agency I see was about it was super young we started in 2020 so was going into its kind of like third year um and basically when she got sick and she passed away she passed away within like 90 days of getting it um I had only seven days to when she died in the UK to take her body back to Pakistan bury her and come back to work and I remember being on that plane ride and saying I'm in service to people and situations that I just don't, I'm not sparked or encouraged by the Y. I really wanted to be in service to people that were changing people's lives, helping them connect back to themselves, helping them find healing, helping them find answers. And I really wanted to build brands, voices, personalities, and products in the space that can completely change your life. And that doesn't mean I do not like beautiful things like fashion or hospitality or travel. I love all that stuff. But I wanted to be in service in a way that was going to impact people and connect them back to themselves. And the pandemic had just happened. And I came back and I told my managing director, who's still our managing director today, that I want to start pivoting the company. And at the time, 97% of our portfolio was these luxury verticals. And today, 99% of our portfolio is health and wellness in the last two, three years. Now we've gone into three years since then. So the company's been around for about six years, entering 2026. And then I started Biohack It as a way to heal my own grief. So I just wanted answers. I'm not a doctor. I was not going to go to medical school. I was going to go and figure all that out. But I was grieving. And grief is something that's very unique and individual to each and every one of us, how we deal with grief. And for me, I wanted to never have anybody else experience what I had experienced with my mom and felt so clueless. And the treatments that she was given, in hindsight, I would never have. allowed her to have those treatments in hindsight I would have never have allowed her to get the jab because that completely immune compromised her and she just died within 90 days of receiving it so if I had all the information that I had now things would have gone really differently and so it was a quest for me to empower myself to help other people around me but it's also a quest to heal my own grief and provide a community and conversations that could help other people not have the same outcomes that I did with my mom and losing her in the way that I did because I saw the woman who was so active so bright so full of life deteriorate so quickly in front of my eyes and she was such an independent full of life like she's a force of nature my mother and to see her lose her ability to walk to swell up with cancer fluid to lose her ability to even walk down the stairs to go outside into the park. She used to love, love working out. All of these little things happen so drastically that I say, I never want to have anybody else close to me or even outside in the world feel like this again. So I biohack it was built for me to be able to sit down with some of the best and brightest minds in the industry and ask them questions for 60, 90 minutes and help take their voice and message out to the masses and help create this wave of curiosity. So more people can think for themselves, more people can advocate for themselves, More people can ask questions and really try to stay curious about how we approach our health and our relationship to us. What was the process of deciding what supplements to start with and why? So if there's anywhere you're going to start, and I'll keep this short and sweet, is you need to start with cellular health. Why? Because if your cells are not healthy, nothing you put in can be retained. So a brand that I speak about all the time and I'm really passionate about is Body Bio. and if you want to start your health journey, you need to start with the health of your cells. So you need to start with cell membrane health. And Body Bio has a specific product called PC, Fosetidylcholine. And essentially what this product does, your cell membranes have this gooey, gushy layer around them. And that lipid, that layer of membrane is made up of phospholipids. And over time with environmental toxins, EMFs, our personal care products, that cellular layer is getting eroded. Now, if that cellular layer is getting eroded, the 3 trillion cells that you have in your body cannot perform their functions. So they don't know how to detox. They don't know how to take in messaging. So what this product does, it helps refortify that cell membrane and helps your cells detox and take out all the bad stuff and puts in all the good stuff that you need in order for your body to stabilize and function at its core performance, what that should be. So if you fix the health of your cells, everything else you supplement with, your peptides, your sleep, your nutrition, everything will start working better if your cells are healthy and feeling supported. And PC, one of the products from Body Bio, is my go-to. So that's the brand I think you should start with. What drives you and what's your inspiration? Okay. So this little bit of a long-winded one. Two things. One, I am really driven by putting out content that really can help shape people's lives. And I'm not the expert at all, and I always say this, but I want to bring you the experts. I want to bring you their voice. I want to bring you their research. Because I really think even if one piece of content resonates with you and makes you change the way you look at your health, the way you're approaching community, the way you're approaching your relationships, the way you're approaching work, Just that one significant change can create so much impact in you long term. And that's how I get inspired, right? I listen to other podcasters. I listen to other influencers. I listen to other content. And sometimes information that they share is so important at that chapter of my life that it can really impact me. And that's the same thing I want to do for you guys is our moderator at Biohack It is Curiosity Heals. And it's to keep you guys curious about yourselves, about your opinions. always to keep an open mind and always keep questioning everything in order to get closer to what your true self is to bring you closer to home i would answer this saying what drives you what's your impression is to help guide you guys home to yourselves and that means something different to each and every person next up we have how did you get your husband on board to living in Dubai. I didn't. I got divorced. So my husband and I, well now he's my ex-husband, our best friends. Our marriage did not work out for a multitude of different reasons. We are really dear friends and we are like family. And I wanted to live in the Middle East and I had a very different vision of life than he did. We're really lucky. We have the most beautiful relationship. We share friends, we share family. And for us, this was just the right decision. So he's not going to Dubai. He's going to be very much be based in Miami. And this brings me to the other question somebody asked, are you moving to Dubai full time or splitting time between Dubai and Miami? I'm going to be based in the Middle East, in Dubai about 70% of the time. And then I'll be in the States about 30% of the time because both my companies are obviously still here as well. Our teams are here. A lot of our clients are here. And I really think the industry is still very much based here, but I'm really excited about my Middle East chapter. I am super bullish on the Middle East. I'm super bullish on the UAE. Just the way their leadership is progressing the country, how they're leading their people to better health, better technology towards the future, safety, security, the way they have built their ecosystems, their country, and how much they take care of the people who live there is something I'm really excited to be part of. So for me, a big reason for me wanting to move to that part of the world was because I was so impressed with the leadership in these places and what they're doing for their people. And I really wanted to be part of that ecosystem and establish both our businesses there and bring health and wellness into the Middle East Kiki asked me a few questions So Kiki I going to answer all your questions What do you recommend for someone navigating difficult emotions in their life? Be around family and friends that will not bullshit you and will not tell you what you want to hear, but will tell you the truth. So surround yourself with people that keep you accountable and surround yourself with people who keep you honest to yourself and are willing to tell you what the real issues that they observe are and then find a way to take that information and how to digest it and process it and apply it to your life. That's really the way to do it. And listen, everybody has different levels of feedback they can take, critique that they can take, a willingness to hear that feedback and adapt it quickly. So make sure you create the right ecosystem and environment to support yourself in those ways. Next, she also asked me, do you follow astrology in line with the transits? I follow astrology. I believe in astrology. Do I follow it down to a T? Not really. So I cannot tell you about the exact transits. Sometimes Instagram serves me things or I listen to an astrologer. I have had a few readings done. I am a Taurus sun, Virgo rising, and a Leo moon. And when I go deeper into those, I really do identify with a lot of the traits that come up in some of the things that have been accurate in my chart for the last eight, nine, ten years. So those things are something that I flagged. But do I follow astrology down to the T? I don't think so. Kiki also asked me, how has ayahuasca shaped your relationships and with your emotions? I did my first plant medicine journey six years ago. And I'll tell you guys, I think I've shared this story before. So I didn't know what to expect. I hadn't really dabbled in any of this stuff. And I went to Mexico to do an ayahuasca journey. and my dad at the time hadn't spoken to me for nine years okay and I tried to contact him by email he wasn't really talking to me sporadically I'd get an email but that was it it's my second night so when we went for ayahuasca was we had the medicine for two nights and one day ceremony the second night I sit down and my father comes through for me in my ceremony and he tells me and I and I was crying and I remember telling him that I you know I love you I just wanted you around and We went through this whole healing process together. And at the end of that ceremony, he goes to me, I don't have much time left. You need to grieve because I don't want you to be in shock when I leave. Guys, I haven't spoken to the man in nine years. I had no contact. Lo and behold, and my ex-husband was with me at the time. Lo and behold, he dies exactly four or six months after I had that ceremony. and instead of being completely shocked my body didn't go into that shock because I was able to accept it and I was able to tie back to the ceremony that I had that he brought me this message that you need to have your conversations with me and one of the biggest things he said to me because at the time I was really upset that our relationship wasn't what it used to be and he said in this life I cannot be for more for you you have expectations of me that I cannot fulfill you have requirements for me that I cannot meet right now and I'm really sorry and I know I've disappointed you and I am going to pass and I want you to not go into shock when I pass and I'm letting you know. And so I remember getting a text message. How I found out my dad died was through a text message. Literally somebody sent me a picture from his grave and said that your father has passed away. And I was the one who had to call my mom. They'd gotten divorced and tell the rest of our family. And the woman that he then got married to and had a whole second family with behind our back and didn't get in touch with us, didn't tell us he'd passed or anything like that. So you would think a situation like that should really have shaken me. But because I'd had this experience on ayahuasca where I'd had this closing conversation with him where he told me I'm going to pass, I almost was at peace for him because I knew the man was suffering so much with his health, with the choices that he'd made in his life. And so I felt peace in myself because I know he felt piece where he finally was able to cross over. Ayahuasca shaped my relationship with myself. So the beauty of psychedelics and plant medicines done with intention, not recreationally, but done at retreats, done with medical practitioners, done in a contained environment for personal development and growth is very different to doing any psychedelics recreationally. So I'm not encouraging you guys to do psychedelics recreationally. I'm telling you to do them in a contained environment with the right practitioners supported to do this. I just want to get my message clear and to focus on what you need from it. For me, it's always personal development and growth. And ayahuasca has completely shifted my relationship with myself because it helped me. I see people and myself like an onion. And every time you remove a layer of the peel, you go deeper and deeper and deeper into yourself to get into the core, to get into the who you are, why you're that what your purpose is because technically I think that all of us are just trying to find our way home to ourselves and over time Programming society negative experiences. We've had our childhood traumas Everything shapes us and kind of moves us away further and further and further because of fear experiences that we've had from our core And we just become really frightened About life and we start closing up and think what I was got and a lot of these psychedelics give you the ability to do is to peel back the layers, to have really honest conversations with yourself, to be able to sit with yourself in a way that you can truly be accountable without like your noise taking over or getting hijacked because you're just there to do the work, right? When you're on one of these medicines, when you're in one of these journeys, you are forced to sit there and be with yourself. And it is really uncomfortable and there's nowhere you can go. So it's really tapping into that subconscious mind to let your true self come forward and allow your true self to ask you the questions and bring up patterns and themes and really get honest about where that's coming from and why those things have been formed and what's really driving your desire to be in a relationship, not be in a relationship, be in a job, not be in a job, stick out a shitty friendship or not stick out the shitty friendship. Like where is the evolution of that journey coming from? And It kind of helps you peel back those layers and address the root cause and really get comfortable. You have to, I always say, you have to get really uncomfortable with yourself in order to get comfortable with yourself. So it's a journey back to yourself. And a lot of us don't want to have that level of discomfort because it's hard. It's having to look at yourself in the mirror and say, you know, I really, the problem starts with me. and I think the biggest liberation comes is when we can own that nobody else is to blame but us for our situation and stop being a victim and instead being the hero of your story and just changing that narrative itself allows you so much freedom because you realize how much power you have in every situation in your life and that applies for anybody if you're even going through a really really shitty time you feel you've lost everything and you've lost family you've lost friends you've lost a place to stay. Believe me, when you stop feeling like the victim and you tell yourself, I'm not the victim. This is how life is happening for me, not to me. It changes how you show up and approach things. And I think psychedelics, plant medicine allows you to have those really tough conversations, break out of this victim mentality and really be the hero of your own story and empower yourself.

Aspire Zen Now asks, why do you think so many wellness doctors are so ill? Why do you think some of them are not mentally stable? Why do you think some are narcissistic? Who is the worst in the industry? Who is the best? So there's a lot of questions in one. So let's start with the first one. Why do you think so many wellness doctors are so ill? I don't know exactly what you mean here by ill, but they always say sometimes doctors are not good at following their own advice. And I'll give you an example. I'm not a doctor. However I sit here and tell you you need to get more hours of sleep You need to regulate your nervous system You need to do X Y and Z But I swear to God there are days I busy I traveling a lot and my schedule is so off that I like Iman you not following your own advice So sometimes we know what's right, we know what the science says, we know what to do, but life just happens, and just things get really busy, and we don't prioritize things, which is not the way we should be living. But that's, I think, the big piece is sometimes people get ill because it's really difficult to follow your own advice. Why do you think some of the people are not mentally stable? I don't know who you're referring to. I cannot comment fully on that because I know a lot of the people in this space and they're wonderful human beings, but people are people are people. Everyone has shit. Things come up. Women hit perimenopause and went to menopause. We get extremely unregulated when it comes to our hormones. So what is your idea of what is stable versus not stable is the question, right? What do you view as stability versus not? and some of these people in the industry are also so hyper intelligent they can almost be like on the spectrum or almost like aspergery because they're so hyper intelligent so maybe to you it may look like they're not stable but they're like geniuses in their own rights i think we need to understand this word stability what does it really mean like what is a stable person look like to you versus how they're operating in their family or environment and stuff they may be stable. If you're seeing people have spats online, that's just people having a side opinion versus another person having a different viewpoint and a different opinion and them just having an argument that doesn't make them unstable. That just means they have a certain mindset and believe a certain way and the other person has their mindset and they believe a certain way. I do think a lot of people can be really narcissistic and you see this a lot with surgeons and I always say that surgeons can be so narcissistic because they are literally in the snap of a decision can either give you life or take away life what they're doing is such complex surgery and that is going to change with AI coming in and these Optimus robots that Elon talks about his building but surgeons have so much power and it's so hard to be a surgeon so a lot of them and I have surgeon friends I'll say it can be really narcissistic because they understand the hard work it took to get there but they also I'm laughing because they also know the power that they have in their hands. So they are, you know, listen, and I don't think narcissism is always a bad trait. That's another thing. Social media makes it out to be like, narcissism is the worst thing that could happen to you. A little bit of narcissism is not a bad thing because it actually can be a huge driver into having a why and getting up and getting shit done. Obviously, there are spectrums of narcissism and may your narcissism never hurt another human being or cause anybody pain or harm. That's, you need therapy then. But a little bit of narcissism isn't bad when it comes to your career and getting shit done and doing things out in the world because it also is that driver and a little bit of a fire under your ass besides your why and your purpose. Really successful founders have a little bit of narcissism and it exists. It's just degrees and as long as what you're doing is not hurting and derailing and damaging other people. So I will say that. Who is the worst in the industry? Who is the best? I don't know what that means. Are we talking about who is the best and worst in terms of who they are as a person, how they are with their patients, how they are with community. I think we need to get a little more specific in that. Just like any industry, they're incredible people. They're kind. They're compassionate. They're sweet. They're loving. They're really, really authentic. And there are people who are just in it for the money. But that exists across the board in every single industry. And it doesn't just pertain to health and wellness. Is there someone in the space that you think is a fraud? I think that's what she means. Who's the best and who's the worst? There are people that come to mind. Listen, no, let's cut the bullshit. You and I just recorded something in Dubai for the show, and we're not launching the episode. Because we had booked a guest for the podcast, recorded them on the show. And just the answers were just not making sense. And David came up to me after. He's like, are we really going to run this episode? I'm like, no, we're not going to run this episode. Even though they're a huge personality, they go around doing all these workshops. And me and David were like, no, this is just not going to make sense. because I want to bring you people that either I really believe in or even if I don't agree with everything that they say, they have a really strong viewpoint and an opinion. It's backed by science and it's backed by logic and it's backed by actual research and studies and data. The guy was going around circles. The answer I was getting was going around circles. There was nothing factual. Too mystical. Too mystical, too much about just his experience with things. And I'm like, I don't understand how that correlates. And there was no data or scientific evidence or could not back into any tangible examples of things. So it was very woo-woo. But also, I think that the science just wasn't there for what he was saying. And listen, I'm all mystical and spiritual and all of this stuff. I believe in different dimensions. I believe in existing in different ways. Like I'm somebody who like has swallowed the pill for the Matrix. Like I fully am there. But this stuff was just not adding up to me. So, no. Iman Jamal says, Hi, I'm divorced and doing an arrangement for the kids called nesting. It's been the best thing I've ever done and the children are thriving. I would love for people to learn more about it and not make divorce be such a miserable process for the children. So when nesting is, and somebody can correct me if I'm wrong because I'm not the one that has kids, but nesting is when you get divorced and the child doesn't have to rotate between two parents' houses, the child or the children stay in the same house and the parents take turns going in and out. So for the child, their environment doesn't change, their routine doesn't change, the structure does not change because children need routine in order to feel safe, in order to thrive. They need to have predictable outcomes and know that we're getting fed on a certain time. This is our bed care schedule and routine. This is our morning routine. Kids perform best under structure and discipline and that's how they feel safe and secure. So if you're getting divorced and you try nesting, then the child's schedule in life does not change. And it's the parents who then go in and out. And I do know a friend who recently got divorced and he has done this with his wife and he said it's been extremely beneficial to him. Again, I don't have kids. I personally don't know that much about it, but the feedback I have received is it's wonderful for the children. And if you step back and understand that kids require discipline, structure, and routine to thrive and feel safe, it does make sense why this would work. What steps do you take to regulate your nervous system? I should be taking more steps to regulate my nervous system. However, one of the best things that I found for regulating my nervous system is getting natural light into my eyes as soon as I wake up. Around the 10-15 minute gap in the morning when you wake up. So instead of grabbing my phone, I try to get sunlight in. If it's still dark outside, I try to do a red light panel. But getting that morning light in is so important because it tells your body what time of day it is. It tells your body how to start regulating itself, and it has a really strong response to cortisol. You understand that cortisol has to be higher in the morning. It starts going down mid-afternoon to evening so your body can unwind and relax. So when you wake up in the morning, you should have high cortisol because you're ready, and you're perky, and you're ready to go for the day. So the natural light that comes into your eyes, because we have mitochondria in our eyes that most people don't know about, it tells your body it is time to get up, get the day started, and get moving. And that process is super important. Another thing that can be really helpful to regulate your nervous system is box breathing. It's another technique that's really common. It's easy to do. You guys can even look it up. And it's just a way, again, the more breath and the more times you can use breath for the body, it signals to your brain to rest and relax. So a lot of the times we live so heavily into the sympathetic nervous system, which is a fight or flight, then we don't fall into the parasympathetic nervous system, which is a rest and digest. and back in the day when we were still cavemen we would spend 80 of our times in the rest and digest the parasympathetic and only 20 of the time in the sympathetic which is like we're getting chased by a tiger we need to go hunting so we were having a normal range we were living in but with our phones with constantly being online with our environment having changed so much and us going at a much faster pace we are living out of design and what i mean we're living out of design we're living out of parasympathetic, which is we're not going much into rest or digest. The only times majority of the people are actually falling into that phase is when they're going to sleep. So you're spending 80% of your life in reverse. You're living 80% of your life in fight or flight and only 20% of your life now in rest and digest, which is your parasympathetic. So we have to start creating environments and things that are more conducive to dropping you back into your parasympathetic versus your sympathetic nervous system. Love your outfits. On your page seems most of them are only worn once. How do you do that? Do you work with an agency that rents, provides your clothes, or just shop? Asking so we can build a life to do the same. And then there's another question here. Let me answer this one first. This is floaty and feisty. Okay, love your outfits. Okay, thank you so much. I did have a background in fashion for 22 almost years. I started my career back in the day at contentast.vogue.com. I style myself a lot of times when I'm in the U.S., but when I'm traveling for for trips and I have a lot of episodes to batch out or events I work with a couple of amazing stylists I try to mix and match How I like to shop is I like to shop for great staples and then mix pieces in and out most of the things I wear I either own or sometimes brands are gifting me things as well in exchange for content so it really depends and it varies I have by the way shown up to podcast episodes I don't think you guys have like caught it I'm wearing the same outfit and I get there and I'm like shit I already wore this for a recording I can't believe I wore it again so have good staples in your wardrobe that you can mix and match. Neutrals are a really good place to start and then have some fun pieces to kind of throw in. I love accessories, so that's another way that I kind of style up my outfits and make them a little bit different. I do have a pretty large wardrobe. I do still have a love for fashion and all things fashion. And I'm really fortunate that, you know, brands dress me and reach out to me as well. So it's a mix of different things. But I think also for women coming on the show, right, when it comes to a man, he can literally be sitting there in the same black t-shirt and the same blue jeans and nobody will give a shit, okay? like David, King of White. But if I did that, the female audience would be like, what's going on here? Because women are more visual creatures. I think we like colors and we like to see somebody's personality through how they dress and how they show up and how they carry themselves. We just find it more interesting. And I personally, I know there are a lot of big podcasters out here who do that. I could not be caught dead showing up to record a podcast episode in sweatpants. Maybe that's my European upbringing. I lived in London for 16 years. I cannot bring myself to do that. But I know it's a very US thing to be comfortable like that. I think sweats are kept for working out or running errands. They should be not worn on a show or on TV. But then, hey, that's just my opinion. Who am I? How do you run two companies? What do you do and what do you delegate? How do I run two companies? I have an amazing team around me. Amazing, amazing, amazing. You have to be really intentional how you hire. And you have to be really clear about your expectations. And you have to be also really clear about what work you're willing to do and what work you're going to delegate. And making sure that when you hire people, they're experts in that space. If you're hiring for social media, the person can get trained and given guidance, but they can run with things. When you're hiring somebody to produce a show, when you're hiring somebody for PR, they have to be an expert in their space and you have to trust that person. You also cannot micromanage every single thing because I'll drive you crazy. So I create room for trust. I hold people accountable to their roles, but I also know that the people on my team are there for a reason. And they're brought in for a specific task. And I trust that they have it handled. So I have a very different leadership style. I could not be running these companies without these incredible people who I'm surrounded with and without delegating. So I'm very good to delegate. But then I also make sure that I have touch bases a lot of the times. I know all the different things that are going on both companies. I've flagged any major decisions or issues that are happening. And at the end of the day, all the big decisions, I'm still taking them at both of the teams. And I think I'd see it's in a different phase. It's not in Invency anymore. It's a scaled-out company. We're operating in three different continents. It's grown up a lot. BMG right now, Biohack It is still more of the babies. It requires a lot more of my time, which I'm really enjoying building this. And there's so many different facets to this company and just learning to be more of moving away from being an agency founder, which is what I've done for so long so much of my career to moving more into the media landscape and being a media CEO now so I think it's almost like a faster-paced environment and you're I'm going from being in service to clients to more building a brand so for ourselves so I am my own client in this space so that's how I do it so delegate hire people that are experts and do not micromanage and please trust them and if you feel that you cannot trust this person the motto is hire slow and fire fast. And I'm the queen of that. Believe me, if I don't like you, you'll be gone very quickly. We have a question from Becky Gonzalez. What is your current peptide stack? Interested in starting on them. Let's talk about peptides for a second. Firstly, I want to throw my phone at people when they ask about only peptides. Peptides are not the first place that you should start if you're focusing on your health. And let me tell you why. Peptides are short chain amino acids. They do a function and give a signal to your body. They can only function as well in your body as your body is receptive to receive those signals. So if your foundational health is not good, peptides are just you're pissing your money away, quite literally. So fixing the foundations of your health, which is sleep, hydration, good nutrition, and regulating your nervous system, and making sure you're getting in natural light are the core places that you should be starting before you jump into even things like complicated supplements or peptides. So fix your foundational health first. And if you're overwhelmed, you're like, I don't know where to start, start drinking really clean water so hydration really matters and make sure you're taking electrolytes and minerals with your water and your water is not stagnant. Fix your sleep. Try to get in six to eight hours of sleep a night. If sleep is disrupted, nothing in the body works well. There's no biohacks around that one. Once in a while, yes, but not on a consistent basis. it causes damages in the body and it also leads to a lot of oxidative stress. So it causes inflammation, number one sign for aging and aging fast, inflammation. Number one cause for disease, inflammation. Everything starts and ends with inflammation. So not enough sleep, oxidative stress, oxidative stress will lead to inflammation. And number three, focus on eating a whole food diet, nutrient-dense food, whole food. Try to get as close to source as possible, regenerative if you can. This goes for your meats. It goes for wild caught fish. It goes for your produce, all of it. Try to eat clean. Once in a while you want to cheat, sure, go for it. But majority of the time, 90% of the time, you should be eating clean. Clean, healthy, nutrient-dense food. And then you can go on to peptides. And my current peptide stack is switching up. I do a new protocol every couple of months. I've been doing peptides on and off for about seven years. My current stack that I'm on is a glow peptide stack so that's one of them which has the ghkcu the bpc and the tb500 all those do different things but essentially it's my copper peptide it's my gut binding peptide which is the bpc157 is the gut healing peptide as called the ghkcu is called the beauty peptide and that's where you get the skin the hair the copper the glow up and these three are combined together so i'm doing that also at night i'm taking a dose of epimorlin and tesamorlin which secretes more natural growth hormone as you sleep at night and it can get you more muscle mass and more definitions I'm working on that and I'm going to be switching to deep sleep inducing peptide which is called this because I really want to work on my sleep hygiene see I'm taking my own advice for once I'm really going to focus on my core pillars of health and sleep is one of the ones I'm going to be working on so those are the three peptides I am currently taking and working through one supplement that I cannot live without well currently it's body bio calm because it's helping me with my nervous system is amazing. But a brand that I cannot live without, it clearly is Body Bio. They are specialists and they really focus on cellular health. And this brand completely changed my life, understanding my relationship with supplements, understanding what my body's core needs really are. And I'm really grateful to be in a position that I get to see and experience so many brands because of our peer marketing agency. Brands reach out to us all the time because of the podcast. We get to work with so many different advertisers, sponsors, brands, founders. I really am super grateful that I get to meet so many incredible people, understand their science, understand their story, understand their why. But this brand, Body Bio, that I talk about all the time is something that their science is so tight, their why is so tight, their products are super unique to them. Nobody else has been able to deliver or match what they're producing and why they're producing it. Family-owned, family-run business. They're not looking to get rich quick. No outside investment or capital. they just have so many things and their products really are life-changing so for me right now body bio calm is a product I can't live without but there are a lot of body bio products that I swear by and if you really look to the science and what they're offering I promise you you will feel the same guys thank you so much for your questions I'm trying to get better at this so keep on asking me questions I can keep on showing up because I actually find it really uncomfortable to sit here and answer questions to the camera I feel a lot more comfortable interviewing a guest but my team is like we got to get you out there so I'm here I'm committed to this I'm 2026 is the year I'm showing up fully um and getting really uncomfortable with myself so thank you again for the questions please like comment and subscribe I appreciate you guys without this community I would not be able to continue doing the show and if you like this little series and you want to see more of this and hopefully more of me send in more questions comment below and tell me what you want to hear more about, what I can answer for you. And this is also a really good place that if you want me to bring and interview certain guests for the show, comment their names below and I will try to do my best to go get them for you. Let's make this happen. Let's build this together. Thank you so much for investing time and energy into me. I appreciate you all so much. you
