The Gabby Reece Show

I'm stoic by nature, yet this week my kids had me in tears twice and fantasizing about walking out the door. Being tired and stressed is the worst combination, and since your brain can't feel gratitude and fear at the same time, the real test is pulling the levers you already have when it counts.Today it's just me, sharing a solo episode on stress management from two of the hardest days I've had in a while, between a tense call with Laird while he's traveling and real friction with my kids. I talk about why training and sleep are my first line of defense, how a five-minute silent meditation and simple breathwork calm my nervous system, and why gratitude and anxiety can't share the same space. Pick one lever this week, like getting to bed earlier or breathing with a longer exhale. Then use it the next time things get heated.What we explore:- Why training and sleep are the best stress management tools.- How a five-minute silent meditation resets your mood.- Why crying can be a healthy emotional release.- How box breathing down-regulates your nervous system fast.- Why gratitude and anxiety can't coexist in the brain.The Gabby Reece ShowThis is where I have real conversations with the people I find most worth listening to: scientists, athletes, coaches, parents, and thinkers who are doing the hard work of building a life that holds up over time. No hacks. No quick fixes. Just honest, practical conversations about performance, longevity, relationships, and what it actually takes to show up well at every age.If you are here, you probably already know that health is not a destination. It is how you live. I am glad you are along for it.Connect with Gabby Reece:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gabbyreece/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@gabbyreeceofficialWebsite: https://gabriellereece.com This is a public episode.

After 50, your body starts to melt unless you give it a reason not to. It isn't rocket science, just the basics we tend to skip, done consistently.Today it's just me, answering the question I get asked more than any other: how do I keep muscle at 56? I'm a former professional volleyball player, and I've carried lean muscle since I was 18 that I had to work hard to build and now work to maintain. We talk about getting your hormones and thyroid checked, leading every meal with protein, lifting three days a week, and protecting your sleep. Get the basics right before you reach for the sexy levers like creatine and amino acids. This week, book your blood work, put protein first on your plate, and aim to be in bed by 10.What we explore:- Why bloodwork, HRT, and thyroid health come first.- How to lead with protein without chasing gram targets.- Why lifting three days a week protects muscle and bone density.- What sleep has to do with muscle recovery after 50.- Why your body changes week to week, and why that's okay.The Gabby Reece ShowThis is where I have real conversations with the people I find most worth listening to: scientists, athletes, coaches, parents, and thinkers who are doing the hard work of building a life that holds up over time.

Aging skin isn't a cosmetic problem or a beauty routine. It's a biology problem and a framework for treating your skin as part of your health span.Dr. Carolina Reis Oliveira is an immunologist, PhD, and co-founder of OneSkin, the biotech company that spent five years screening over 900 peptides to target skin aging at the cellular level. We talked about why roughly 70 to 80 percent of skin aging is within your control, how senescent "zombie" cells quietly degrade collagen and drive inflammation, and why the skin on your body, not just your face, deserves real attention.Aging well is something you get to build, not just brace for.What we explore:- Why lifestyle, not genetics, drives most skin aging.- How senescent "zombie" cells shut down collagen and spread inflammation.- Why a stronger skin barrier lowers inflammation in your blood.- What changes at the midlife density shift, and how to support your skin through it.- How to use sunscreen, vitamin C, and retinoids without wrecking your barrier.Chapters:00:00 4 Women Scientists Who Created OneSkin02:38 Why Most Anti-Aging Products Don't Work04:51 What Causes Skin Aging and How Zombie Cells Destroy Collagen06:47 The Peptide That Reversed Skin Age 2.5 Years10:03 4 Habits That Age Your Skin Fastest11:55 Why Your Skin Is a Longevity Organ14:48 How Body Lotion Lowers Inflammation Markers16:48 Why Estrogen Loss Triggers Dark Spots19:13 How to Choose a Safe Mineral Sunscreen24:20 Vitamin C and Retinoids Without Wrecking Your Skin31:53 The Density Shift and How to Rebuild Collagen in Midlife39:11 Do Copper Peptides Actually Build Collagen?41:32 Does Red Light Boost Your Skincare?43:13 Why Your Lips Age Faster Than Your Face45:26 Your Skin Microbiome and Why Not to Over-Strip49:23 Ditching Makeup for Healthy Skin52:12 A Scientist's Honest Take on Lasers and FillersAbout Dr. Carolina Reis OliveiraDr. Carolina Reis Oliveira a PhD in immunology and stem cell biology and is a co-founder and CEO of OneSkin.

Your body will tell you when you're too hot, too hungry, or too tired. But no one tells you that you can't feel the load your environment puts on your body, which is exactly why it's easy to ignore.Today I spoke with Philipp Samor von Holtzendorff-Fehling, founder of Leela Quantum Tech and a former T-Mobile executive, known for spending six years and more than 40 placebo-controlled trials building a case that the biofield is something you can measure and support. We unpack what he says shows up on brain scans during a 5G call, the studies behind his claims, and which everyday exposures he thinks matter most.He isn't selling fear or a magic bullet, and he leaves you with practical takeaways you can act on this week without buying a thing.What we explore:- EMF exposure: what a 256-channel EEG picks up seconds into a 5G call- Electric cars and electronics: the exposure you can't opt out of, and what to do instead- Blue light and sunlight: why he ranks them above food as a daily stressor- Biofield research: ATP production, wound healing, and what the studies actually measured- The two-minute check-in: the free daily practice he says matters mostChapters:00:00 From Telecom Executive to Energy Work04:33 Why Men Struggle to Trust Their Intuition14:55 Why He Started Leela Quantum Tech19:10 Why He Ran 40 Placebo-Controlled Trials24:20 What an EEG Shows During a 5G Call34:38 Are Electric Cars Frying Your Body?40:36 Dog Study Results: Better Blood, Less Anxiety46:29 How Stress and EMFs Affect Fertility52:46 Blue Light or EMF: Which Is Worse?59:01 How to Protect Kids from Screens and EMFs01:13:09 The 2-Minute Morning and Night Check-InAbout Philipp Samor von Holtzendorff-Fehling: Philipp Samor von Holtzendorff-Fehling is the founder and CEO of Leela Quantum Tech and Quantum Upgrade.
