Summary

Most biohacking conversations are dominated by men talking to other men. But they’re missing a critical perspective - female biology requires a completely different approach. In this episode, I’ve had an amazing conversation with Kayla Barnes, a true pioneer in female-focused biohacking, and who’s transforming how women optimize their health. We’ve covered topics on ovarian aging, environmental toxin testing, sleep optimisation, and fertility. The transformation in female biohacking isn’t just about longevity - it’s about optimising fertility, reducing autoimmune risk, and addressing the specific metabolic challenges women face. The female biohacking revolution is just beginning!

I was doing some of these four men by men protocols, and I was watching my thyroid health decline.

I was watching my hormones become imbalanced because I was doing way too much.

Foundational health and the extension of our health span is really found in the basics.

It is amazing how well the human body functions when you give it the raw material it needs to do its job.

You don't have to keep it too complicated. It's not just one thing. It's not saying that you're

not working out or you're not eating healthy. It could be in your environment as well.

0:26.6

I have a theory that the reason why the majority of autoimmune disease we find in females and not men is because women are so selfless.

0:33.6

We are biologically and physiologically different than men. There's so many different cycles of a woman's life.

0:39.3

Premenopause, but then there's perimenopause.

0:41.3

When you hit menopause, your risk for all causes of mortality increases substantially.

between. And we've been asked lately, well, actually, not just lately, but for a year,

1:25.2

to just feed the female audience a little better than we've been feeding them on the podcast.

1:30.3

And I think there are some giant gaps in the biohacking community in general.

1:35.2

Lots of us guys out there, ultra-woke biohackers, talking to other ultra-woke biohackers.

1:40.4

And so we've been really focusing on our feminine audience.

1:47.9

And so today, please welcome to the podcast, Kayla Barnes Lens.

1:50.1

Thank you so much for having me. I'm so excited to have you because not just because you're a female guest, because I think you're a female pioneer.
