Episode #80: Biohacking for Women with Nat Niddam and Dasha Maximov
My guest this week is Dasha Maximov.
In this episode, Dasha and I discuss variations on biohacking for women, brain health, hormone health, and of course our upcoming Women’s Health, Longevity, and Resilience Retreat. We also talk about women-specific issues and how tracking your cycle can be the ultimate biohack. If you are interested in retreat information feel free to start listening about an hour into the episode.

GUEST BIO
Dasha is a health coach and brain health nerd. She has trained in yoga and Ayurveda in India, with doctors on deciphering lab tests, and is currently part of the Wild Health Fellowship. She finds her biggest teachers are nature and the immense power of physics to heal ourselves from the micro to the macro.
Dasha worked for 14 months with multiple doctors to bring her brain back from 6 traumatic brain injuries. The last of which caused amnesia, chronic fatigue, headaches, and hormonal issues. After witnessing the impact of her brain injury on her physical and emotional body - she became fascinated with electromagnetism, light, sound, and vibration as healers.
Today, she runs WhealthCo and is the unifying continuity and co-host between each of the health intensives offered. She's excited to welcome you to DR, her new home and light the way around biohacking the way she wished it had been shown to her!

Thank you to drinkHRW.com To get the most out of any therapy it is crucial to address the foundations of health. Molecular Hydrogen addresses these foundations through its ability to help to manage reactive oxygen species (ROS), inflammation and improve metabolic balance. I drink molecular hydrogen water every morning before anything else and have my clients do the same. Anecdotally we have seen improvements in blood sugar control, pain from arthritis and even cognitive function in a Parkinson’s patient. Ongoing research is demonstrating the many ways that molecular hydrogen can support human health.
