Biohacking Beauty: The Anti-Aging Skincare Podcast

Did you know that your biological age is different than your chronological age? Your cells and organs have ages that vary from your regular age. Looking younger goes so much deeper than what skincare products you are using, it depends on how you are treating every system in your body.

One system of the body our guest, Emilia Dewi, dives into today is one of the most underrated systems, yet one that must not be neglected: Your Lymphatic System.
