Key takeaways
Your genetics, or DNA code, act as your hardware—unchanging & responsible for about 20% of your phenotypic outcomes
Epigenetics, the software of your genetics, control how genes are expressed. They are modifiable & account for 80% of health outcomes
Most genomic testing companies analyze the same genetic positions, but the key difference lies in interpretation
Epigenetics serve as a reliable biomarker, providing a running average of the past 3–6 months. They are stable yet adaptable
Blood labs can mislead if not done thoroughly, regularly, or analyzed for long-term trends. Variability in lab results can create the illusion of issues where none exist
Biological age clocks predict future health outcomes using biomarkers, but their value depends on how well they forecast specific diseases
Epigenetics integrate other aging factors, refined by how the algorithms are trained

Key takeaways
There are many ways to stimulate the vagus nerve, each with slightly different effects
The vagus nerve connects the brain to the body and helps calm the nervous system during fight-or-flight states
Electrical stimulation is faster and more effective for vagus nerve activation
Stimulating the trigeminal nerve can reduce headache pain and prevent future migraines
Auricular nerve stimulators can be used for 10-20 minutes; simply adjust them until you hit the right spot for effectiveness
Vagus nerve stimulation can reduce stress and anxiety
Vagus nerve stimulation can distract your mind from stress by focusing your attention on the sensation
Sleep issues often have a stress component, such as overthinking, mental chatter, or negative thoughts
Auriculovagus nerve stimulation increases neuroplasticity, enhancing the brain’s ability to learn and retain new information
Using vagus nerve stimulation before practicing a skill improves memory retention and performance
If you have low vagal tone, start gently with electrical stimulation, as it can be overwhelming at first
Visualization can help reduce stress by mentally rehearsing scenarios, making the brain feel like it’s already experienced them
Effective visualization requires time and focus—an hour a day of undistracted practice is necessary to see real benefits
Daily vagus nerve stimulation strengthens emotional regulation, reducing negative responses to future bad memories

Urine Therapy: Your Perfect Medicine For Natural Stem Cells, Hormone Balance & Detox? | Darlene Teahen @ The Vitality Expert

Did you know that some people believe drinking your own pee can boost your health?
Urine therapy, an ancient practice, is said to help detoxify the body, strengthen the immune system, and improve skin conditions. Proponents claim that it can provide natural antibodies, hormones, and nutrients that may be lost through urination.
While this practice is controversial and lacks strong scientific backing, it's been used in various cultures for centuries as a form of alternative healing. Learn more about this topic in today's episode on 'Urine Therapy'.
Meet our guest
Darlene Teahen earned a Bachelor's Degree in Fine Arts with a minor in Business from Mount Allison University in 1997. After a life-changing event in 1998, she became a volunteer firefighter & First Responder, which sparked her interest in holistic health.
Motivated by her daughter’s health challenges & preventable illnesses in her community, she researched alternative treatments & nutrition, leading to her family’s improved health. Darlene then pursued a career as a Naturopathic Practitioner, earning a Doctorate in Holistic Health, & is now working on her PhD in Natural Medicine.

The simple, guided, and actionable Outliyr Longevity Challenge helps you unlock your longevity potential, slow biological aging, and maximize your healthspan
Key takeaways
Urine is full of stem cells & is pushed out of allopathic medicine since it can’t be patented
All body fluids are "dirty," but urine comes from a different system, containing hormones, vitamins, & minerals, making it homeopathic
Even with a UTI, urine can benefit you due to its homeopathic properties—plasma ultrafiltrate is more sterile than blood
Healthier plasma leads to healthier cells & body; urine is essentially plasma
Many consumer products, including creams & medications, are derived from urine
Urine therapy has shown consistent improvements, including reduced inflammation, better sleep, lower stress, improved heart rate, & oxygen levels
Heavy metals are primarily eliminated through feces, aided by chelators like chlorophyll or zeolite
Urine contains hormones, neurotransmitters, peptides, & bioactive compounds in the exact amounts your body needs
Both men & women face hormonal imbalances, but often men don’t notice it, mistaking issues like hair loss & ED as aging, which is often due to imbalance
Hormonal imbalances aren’t normal; menopause doesn’t have to involve suffering if everything is balanced
Aged urine is stronger & richer in stem cells, but may cause a deeper reaction
Episode Highlights
5:45 The Controversial Way to Heal Your Body
12:10 The Research Behind Urine Therapy
20:13 Health Benefits of Urine Therapy
26:33 Debunking Myths About Urine Therapy

The simple, guided, and actionable Outliyr Longevity Challenge helps you unlock your longevity potential, slow biological aging, and maximize your healthspan
Key takeaways
Most supplement companies are primarily marketing-focused, not scientific or biotech-driven
Combining ingredients can produce unexpected effects on the body
Scientific studies should validate whether ingredient combinations are synergistic, rather than relying on marketing assumptions
Negative synergy (dyssynergy) occurs when a combination of ingredients makes the result worse
Feeling younger or looking better from HGH doesn’t guarantee long-term health; it may actually be harmful
Some antioxidants act as pro-oxidants, leading to an increase in the body's own antioxidants
While you may feel a product works, negative biological effects might occur unnoticed
Phosphatidyl inositol helps with stress & may benefit women with severe menstruation or hormonal issues
About 70% of people are deficient in magnesium
The supplement is designed for both biohackers & the average American, not just for obese individuals
Tterastylabine is better absorbed through the gut & has a longer half-life in the blood than resveratrol, making it more effective
