Dr. Heather Evans with The BioBeautiful Effect

"This is a fun one today. I'm so excited."  There are a few— no, there are a lot— of questions that are hard to answer. But there are tens of thousands more that are too hard to ask. Maybe they're too strange, too gross, or too awkward to ask in person... so we're getting them out of the way here. The icky, the ooky, the sucky, and more are on the docket here, whether it's sensible or not. Either...

Peptides are causing a big stir in the wellness community, talked up as a panacea and a solution to most problems: peptides for the skin, peptides for the cells, peptides for the soul... It's enough to raise an eyebrow or two. Just how much of this is hype, and how much is health? Can peptides really act as the miracle medicine they say they can? And regardless of suspicion, what can peptides do?...

It feels as if overnight the world of wellness, fashion, and healthcare has been turned upside down. This weight-loss miracle has come in the form of GLP-1s, and it seems like anyone can see a smaller number on the scale. But what kind of weight are you really losing, and is it really the kind that you should be giving up? Will everyone be achieving the same results? In this episode of Doctor Heat...

Spoiler alert: the title's a bit of a misnomer— it isn't that your labs say you're good, it's that your labs say you are normal. Out of an average range from patients all across, this is what's usual and expected. It works for functional medicine, but for longevity medicine, the bar we're aiming for is a little higher.

We call it beauty sleep, but really it does a lot more than look pretty: getting a sufficient amount of rest is the most powerful and important way your body heals.

But what happens if you don't get that sleep? What if you can't? Why are...

As the body ages, the body changes, and some of the most particular changes are skin-deep. While perimenopause and menopause have their most notable effects on the reproductive system, the natural rollercoaster of hormones can bring chaos to the skin's appearance, sensitivity, and health. On this episode of Doctor Heather Evans with The BioBeautiful Effect, Heather and Sharon share their tips on h...

Resting just below your chin is one of the most important glands in your endocrine system, a little butterfly-shaped structure that does a lot in conducting your hormonal orchestra: the thyroid, and its health, is a crucial player in determining how good you look and feel. Heart rate, energy production, metabolism, body temperature, and more are all regulated by this little part of you. So, how do...

As we grow, our bodies change: And as we keep growing, our bodies keep changing. Skin aging is perfectly natural, and each aspect of it has its own reason and function. But a great deal of what looks like the inevitable is actually quite preventable. But how do you balance health with looking healthy? On this episode of Doctor Heather Evans with The BioBeautiful Effect, Heather and Sharon are taki...

Inside almost every single cell within your body is the most important structure of all: the mitochondria. Not only is it the powerhouse of the cell, but it is the powerhouse of your body as a whole— and when they don't feel alright, you won't feel alright.
