149. Kayla Barnes: The Science of Female Biohacking - Gut Health, Toxins, and Menstrual Cycles
The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka - A podcast by Gary Brecka
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!
