The Truth About Aging in Your 30s — Musc...

Brittany Ford
About this episode

In this deep and vulnerable solo episode, I'm sharing what aging in your 30s really means—and why I believe it's the most important decade for longevity. 

From collagen loss and hormonal shifts to red light therapy, building muscle, and navigating mitochondrial decline—I'm blending science-backed insights with soul-led reflections to help you glow deeper and age slower.

If you're craving better skin, more energy, or just want to feel like yourself again, this episode is your roadmap to aging well—biologically, emotionally, and energetically.

I TALK ABOUT: 

03:50 – Why your 30s are the gateway to long-term wellness

08:50 – The biology of aging: Collagen, mitochondria, hormones, and inflammation

14:10 – Protein and muscle: What every woman should be doing for strength (BiOptimizers code: BIOHACKINGBRITTANY, NOVOS code: BIOHACKINGBRITTANY)

20:10 – Sugar, cravings, and the emotional root of fatigue

26:50 – Red light therapy, peptides, and tools for skin optimization (Muskoka Tallow code: BIOHACKINGBRITTANY, OneSkin code: BIOHACKINGBRITTANY, HigherDose code: BRITTANY15, Tiny Health code: BIOHACKINGBRITTANY, Dutch test, Platt code: BRITTANY)

33:50 – Mitochondrial decline: Signs, symptoms, and how to reverse it (spermidineLIFE code: BIOHACKINGBRITTANY, Fatty15 code: BIOHACKINGBRITTANY, Kineon code: BIOHACKINGBRITTANY)

38:30 – Cold plunges, sauna, and other lifestyle practices that matter

41:00 – Aging as a spiritual and emotional transformation

45:50 – Nervous system regulation as the ultimate anti-aging tool (Pulsetto)

53:00 – The one question to ask yourself about soul alignment and aging
