    Episode #230: The Benefits of GHK Copper Peptide in Skincare with Dr. Suzanne Ferree and Debbie Barber
    Apr 26 2024
    Do you want clean, but effective skincare? It seems so hard to find, but Vitali offers an amazing solution. In today’s bonus episode on the Biohacking Superhuman Performance Podcast, I chat with Dr. Suzanne Ferre and Debbie Barber, cofounder of Vitali Skincare, about one of my favorite skincare lines. We discuss the benefits of GHK copper peptide in skin care and how GHK copper, a bioregulator peptide, improves collagen and elastin production, repairs DNA damage, and prevents senescence in skin cells. It also increases blood flow and can help with hair regrowth. We discuss the best way to apply Vitali products with GHK copper peptides. The formula of GHK copper products also includes brown algae for protection against glycation and squalane oil for moisturization. Vitali’s products are suitable for sensitive skin and can be used before and after procedures for better healing. In this conversation, Dr. Ferree, Debbie, and I discuss the importance of cellular turnover and the role of ingredients like retinol and bakuchiol in promoting healthy skin. We also mention the significance of exfoliation and the use of sunscreen. We finish this episode with a discussion about the new copper-infused sleep mask and upcoming products from Vitali Skincare as well as a special offer! As part of Vitali's Mother's Day sale, a complimentary full-size bottle of Bakuchiol oil is offered for FREE with purchases of $199 or more from Vitali Skincare.

Topical application of GHK copper is more effective in treating the nearest area and can be used for skin care and hair regrowth. GHK copper products also include brown algae for protection against glycation and squalane oil for moisturization. These products are suitable for sensitive skin and can be used before and after procedures for better healing. Copper-infused skincare products, like the Vitali Restore Cell line, offer numerous benefits for the skin. Ingredients like retinol and bakuchiol promote cellular turnover and help improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Exfoliation is essential for removing dead skin cells and maximizing the effectiveness of skincare products. Sunscreen should always be used to protect the skin from harmful UV rays. The new copper-infused sleep mask from Vitali Skincare provides antimicrobial benefits and can improve the appearance of the skin around the eyes. Upcoming products from Vitali Skincare include sunscreen and a hair product. More is not necessarily better when it comes to GHK copper, and the 3% concentration is often the sweet spot for most people. Copper-infused gloves can help protect the hands from sun damage while driving.

  • Episode #229: MAT: Activating Muscles For Pain Free Living with Charlie Cates.

    Episode #229: MAT: Activating Muscles For Pain Free Living with Charlie Cates.
    Apr 23 2024
    Have you experienced an injury that just won't seem to heal? It may be time to look beyond the site of pain and consider the impact of stress on your body. In this episode of Biohacking Superhuman Performance, I chat with Charlie Cates about Muscle Activation Technique (MAT) - a unique approach to addressing pain and injury by focusing on the activation of inhibited muscles. Through targeted isometric contractions or manual stimulation, MAT aims to restore efficient muscle contraction, allowing the body to better withstand external forces and protect itself from pain and injury. We discuss MAT compared to other modalities and the fact that MAT recognizes that the source of the problem may not always be local. This conversation offers advice on the benefits of MAT, and how it can increase longevity and physical freedom. By helping to heal and prevent long-term, nagging injuries, MAT can keep people engaged in their favorite activities. Overall this episode offers guidance on using MAT to identify the true source of the pain problem, improve communication within the body, and keep muscles functioning well Charlie Cates graduated from Northeastern Illinois University, where he earned a Master of Science degree in exercise science. He specializes in helping his clients and community live healthier and stronger lives through exercise that is sustainable and pain-free. He is a certified Muscle Activation Techniques® practitioner and is one of Chicago’s most sought-after specialists for muscle and joint issues. He authored the book “The Exercise For Life Method”, and co-hosts the Exercise Is Health® podcast with his wife, Julie. He has two amazing children who give him a greater reason to prioritize his health every single day. His current long-term goal is to have a dunk contest with his son when he is 50 years old.

(22:10) Fascia is the new black (24:10) What a MAT session is like (31:00) Common nagging injuries (39:00) Current developments for MAT (45:00) Find more from Charlie Cates Key Takeaways: MAT aims to "activate" inhibited muscles through targeted isometric contractions or manual stimulation. Once activated, the muscles can contract more efficiently, withstanding greater external forces and protecting the body from pain or injury. MAT views these neurological weaknesses as communication issues rather than strength issues, and the assessment identifies positions where muscles cannot contract or sustain contraction on demand. MAT is different from other modalities in the fact that it specifically addresses the dormant muscles that aren’t working properly. Just because the pain is local, doesn’t mean the problem is local. If you want to be active, MAT can keep you active. It helps heal and prevent long-term, nagging injuries. It also helps people recover faster after surgery if they incorporate MAT before surgery. MAT offers longevity and physical freedom by keeping your muscles functioning well and even contributes to bone health.
