  • First Responder Challenges & Opportunities For Avoiding Chronic Disease l Optimizing The Body's Natural Healing Abilities to Oxidative Stress, Inflammation, and Circadian Rhythm Dysregulation

    We were so honored when Josh Burchick invited us to speak on his podcast, "Forged and Unbroken." We have been blown away by his work and his mission to help firefighters get and stay healthy. Since we feel like this information needs to be shared to more First Responders around the country, we decided to also share the episode here on the Biohacker Babes podcast. In this episode, we discuss the importance of sleep optimization & circadian rhythm, why you should always run basic lab tests, nutrition & fasting, hot & cold therapy, hormetic stressors, top supplements, and more!

    Josh Burchick has been a firefighter since 2003, he currently serves as a Captain for a professional Department in central Maryland and is a Fireground Survival Instructor. He's been a certified Strength & Conditioning Coach since 2011, with his passion being CrossFit and mobility and movement patterns for injury prevention and rehabilitation. He holds a Bachelor's Degree in Public Safety Leadership from Johns Hopkins University. If he's not outdoors or hiking, you can find him in Frederick, MD with his wife and two daughters. 

    Forged & Unbroken is an online community for firefighters, but also for anyone looking for self-improvement. There is a daily workout with an option for at-home, a weekly growth mindset podcast, a weekly mobility video, a weekly research topic from other industries covering health, wellness, leadership and more. There is also the public podcast covering the same aforementioned topics, as well as fire service stories of struggle and resiliency. The goal is to crest a more well-rounded, resilient human. Each quarter, 1/3 of all proceeds from the venture is donated to public safety charities and causes.

  • Whole-Body Systemic Healing with LightPathLED Red Light Therapy l The Short & Long-Term Benefits of Continuous and Pulsed Red Light with Scott Kennedy

    We are thrilled to have Scott Kennedy back on the podcast for a deeper dive into the incredible health benefits of red light therapy. We catch up on the latest scientific research, benefits of pulsing and higher frequencies, his thoughts on red light beds and hormesis, and more! Also, make sure you check out our previous episode with Scott in 2020 for an intro to red light therapy.

    Scott Kennedy is a certified laser/light specialist and health coach. In 2018, he started the first light therapy wellness center in New Jersey where he meet with clients from all walks of life, all ages, and with the gambit of issues. 

    He started his journey 10 years ago when he suffered from peripheral neuropathy. He saw countless doctors and tried countless remedies with only limited relief. He went from running ultra-marathons and boxing to being sedentary. 

    Within 4 months, his symptoms decreased over 80%. The improvements he felt from light therapy were life-altering. He's now back to running and boxing and living life. His goal is to now help others get back to doing what they enjoy in life, without pain or pills.

    With a focus on safety and quality, he began LightpathLED to create the best home use panels on the market. They now have panels that surpass the competition at a lower price point as well as panels with multiple wavelengths and pulsing, which no other company is doing. His commitment is always to the pursuit of optimal health and well-being of his clients and their families.

  • Biological Dentistry with Dr. Gene Sambataro l A Comprehensive Approach to Root Canals, Cavitations, Sleep Disordered Breathing, Poor Jaw and Tongue Posture and more with Julian Dentist

    We are thrilled to bring you this conversation with Dr. Gene Sambataro (our Dad & OG biohacker!) where we take a deeper look into biological dentistry and dental sleep medicine. This is his third time on the podcast so make sure you go back and check out the previous episodes - #10 "The Root of It All" and #136 "Sleep Apnea, Nutrition for Oral Health & Biohacking for Families". In today's episode we discuss how we can address sleep issues, the benefits of running a home sleep study, alternatives to CPAPs for sleep apnea, the dangers of root canals and mouthtaping, the health benefits of breastfeeding and more!

    Dr. Gene Sambataro has been practicing dentistry for over 40 years with special interests in orthodontics, dental orthopedics, temporomandibular joint disorder, sleep disordered breathing and implantology. He graduated from the University of Maryland School of Dentistry in 1980 and soon after started incorporating a more holistic approach to his practice. 

    Dr. Sambataro strives to educate his patients on how they can make healthier decisions in their lives, as well as sharing his knowledge around toxic-free dentistry, which avoids mercury amalgam fillings, fluoride, and toxic root canals. Nearly 80% of all illnesses can be connected to infections, toxicities, and imbalances in the mouth, which is one of the reasons he is so passionate about practicing Biological (or Holistic) Dentistry. 

    A few of his affiliations include the Academy of General Dentistry, the American Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine, the International Academy of Biological Dentistry and Medicine, the Holistic Dental Association, and the International Dental Implant Association. He is also a Board Member for the Maryland Society of Integrative Medicine and the author of “Stop the Snore, Dental Solutions to Healthy Sleep.” He is currently enrolled in the PhD program in Quantum Morphogenetic Physic and Science through the Bioregenesis Academy and just released his newest book, “Your Guide to Holistic Dental Implants: The Permanent Solution for Missing or Lost Teeth.”

  • Biohacker Roundtable: How to Get the Most Out of Your Wearable Data l Best Practices and Our Favorite Devices with Dr. Jay Wiles & Mollie Eastman

    Welcome back for our 4th roundtable episode with Dr. Jay Wiles and Mollie Eastman! In this episode, we discuss everything related to data... our personal approaches, our top biohacks, advice for clients, data sovereignty, and more.

    Dr. Jay T. Wiles is a clinical health psychologist, currently working as the Health Behavior Coordinator at WJB Dorn VA Medical Center in Columbia, SC and the Greenville Outpatient VA Clinic. He has specialized training in health behavior coaching, health assessment, nutritional interventions for mental and physical health, Motivational Interviewing, applied psychophysiology, and consultation. Dr. Wiles works as a consultant for companies/organizations, practitioners, and individual patients on nutritional psychology, health behavior change, applied psychophysiology, and health promotion/disease prevention via complementary and integrative practices. He is also Board Certified in Tai Chi for Rehabilitation. 

    Mollie Eastman (McGlocklin) is the creator of Sleep Is A Skill, and the host of The Sleep Is A Skill Podcast. Sleep Is A Skill is a company that optimizes people’s sleep through a unique blend of technology, accountability, and behavioral change. After navigating insomnia while traveling internationally, she created what she couldn’t find - a place to go to learn the skill set of sleep. With a background in behavioral change from The Nonverbal Group, she became fascinated with chronobiology and its practical application to sleep and our overall experience of life. Knowing the difference between a life with sleep and without, she’s now dedicated her life to sharing the forgotten skill set of sleep. In the spirit of that goal, she has created the #2 sleep podcast, written a popular weekly sleep newsletter for over four years, partnered with luxury hotels & lifestyle brands, and has appeared on over 150 podcasts.
