BIOHACKING THE BRAIN & TRIUMPHING TRAGEDY WITH JESSICA ALANA

12/01/22 • 64 min

On this week's episode of the Genetic Genius Podcast, Jessica Alana discusses biohacking foundations for optimizing health and how to use biohacking tools to support the body in processing tragedy, grief and loss.

Jessica Alana is a scientist passionate about bridging the gap between alternative medicine and data-backed science.

In 2019, Jessica suffered an extremely traumatic event and lost faith in traditional medicine after witnessing a loved one drugged up and dumped from doctor to doctor. This, confounded by a deep knowing that the pharmaceutical industry thrives on us never finding the root cause of our ailments, sparked Jessica's journey into self-love, self-healing and self-help.

Being confident in scientific research and clinical data, she decided to compile her own knowledge and become an expert biohacker.

Since then, Jessica has been accredited by key thought leaders within the health and wellness space and is a frequent contributor to publications and a highly sought-after speaker. Jessica's deep learning of the body's anatomy, physiology and concepts of disease gives great depth to understanding her client's needs. Jessica aims to inspire people with her own healing journey and an open mind. Jessica is an avid believer in plant-based medicines such as psychedelics and wishes to help people understand that these compounds were given to us as a gift from Mother Nature.

Jessica Alana's mission is to help those who, like herself, desire to live a life full of freedom, hope, fulfillment and connection. To educate and inspire, and to transmute pain into passion and love. To wake up every day and be grateful for the life you have created for yourself and to look back and know you have helped the lives of many.

In this weeks episode, we discuss the following topics:

What is biohacking?
What is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy and how does it help with cellular rejuvenation and restoration?
What does a typical HBOT session look like and what are the results you have seen with yourself and at the clinic, Wellness Lab?
Why do you think that our current healthcare model has so little tools for dealing with tragedy and loss besides numbing the body and spirit?
How does biohacking shift or change our brain patterns and neurotransmitter communication?
How have you used biohacking techniques to process tragedy and trauma in your own life?

HOW DO ENVIRONMENTAL TOXICANTS IMPACT GENETICS? WITH DR. JENNA HUA

On this week's episode of the Genetic Genius Podcast, Dr. Jenna Hua discusses the impact that environmetnal toxins have on our epigentics, enodcrine-disrupting chemicals, and how to lower toxic exposures to improve health.

An environmental health scientist and dietitian by training, Dr. Jenna Hua is passionate about the environment, public health and everything food. Jenna holds a BS in Nutrition and an MPH and PhD in Environmental Health Sciences from UC Berkeley, and completed her postdoctoral fellowship at Stanford Medicine.

She founded Million Marker, a health-tech startup dedicated to empowering everyone with the data and tools to determine how the products they use, the food they eat, the water they drink negatively or positively influence their health. Million Marker helps people understand what chemicals are inside of them—and then provides simple solutions for quickly reducing harmful chemicals through mail-in test kits, lifestyle audits, product recommendations, and counseling.”

In this podcast, we discuss the following topics:

How do environmental toxins affect the body?
How do environmental toxins influence the health of the cells and DNA?
How do toxins damage the function of the hormones?
Why are we seeing such a huge shift in the bodies, especially women’s bodies, inability to process toxins inefficiently?
What is the change in the health of our younger generation with continued use of endocrine disruptors?
What are ways we eliminate or reduce endocrine disruptors in our everyday use?
What are your top 5 ways to detoxify the body?
