The Impact of Genomic Instability on Skin Health and Aging

Did you know that sun exposure can not only cause burn, but also damage your DNA? Genomic instability is like rust that builds up and damages the core functions of your body's DNA. External aggressors, like the sun, can build up genomic instability causing your DNA to mutate more rapidly and speed up your skin's aging process.

In this bonus episode of the Biohacking Beauty podcast, Amitay, CEO of Young Goose, discusses genomic instability and how it accelerates aging at the cellular level, leading to visible signs like wrinkles and loss of elasticity.

Learn about the innovative tools that are available to combat the visible signs of aging. Master the art of aging gracefully with a thoughtful dialogue on the importance of smart sun exposure, the power of NAD precursors and skin health from the cellular level up! 

What we discuss: 

(1:02) An introduction to genomic instability

(2:50) Extrinsic aging and its effect on the skin

(4:24) Biohacking strategies for saving your skin from extrinsic aging and external aggressors

(6:11) Genoprotectants, what they are and how you can use them to protect your cells from damage 

(7:54) The repair process, and why autophagy is so important
