Summary

I am honored to connect with Dr. Amy Killen today! She is a leading longevity and regenerative physician specializing in “Sex and Skin.” She is also an international speaker, author, educator, mother of three, a should-be rapper, and founder of the Human Optimization Project (HOP). Having had three kids within two years while also getting up at 3 am to be on time for her 4 am ER shifts made Dr. Killen’s life sleep-deprived, crazy, and stressed. Then, she noticed that many ER patients were coming in with acute problems related to issues similar to her own and realized that she needed to learn a whole new set of tricks and tools if she wanted to help them and herself. Dr. Killen has positioned herself as the female expert on biohacking, sexual health, and skin health. In this episode, we dive into her medical background and her transition into a longevity and sexual health guru. We discuss longevity, functional and regenerative medicine, ovarian aging, the impact of lifestyle on our sexual health, de-stigmatizing women’s sexual needs and health, microdosing, supplements, and addressing changes in our skin and hair in perimenopause and menopause. I hope you enjoy listening to my conversation with Dr. Killen as much as I did recording it! IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: How Dr. Killen shifted from being an ER doctor to doing what she does today. Dr. Killen explains why she believes menopause is a disease unto itself. How the Women’s Health Initiative created fear around taking or prescribing hormones. Only one in five mammals go through menopause, so why does it happen to humans? How do diet and lifestyle impact the aging process? The serious ramifications of environmental toxins. The importance of de-stigmatizing sex. The role nitric oxide plays in sexual health. Dr. Killen discusses various regenerative therapy options for women. The pros and cons of some new and novel medications and supplements for weight loss and longevity. Dr. Killen discusses her recently-launched longevity product, HopBox. Some of the modalities Dr. Killen uses to help middle-aged women improve their skin and hair. Bio: Dr. Amy B Killen is a leading longevity and regenerative physician specializing in “Sex and Skin.” In her Utah-based practices, she combines stem cell injections with photobiomodulation, shockwave therapy, bioidentical hormones, peptides, and an old-fashioned healthy lifestyle to give patients unparalleled synergistic regenerative effects for skin, hair, and sexual systems. Dr. Killen is an international speaker, author, educator, mother of three, a should-be rapper, and founder of the Human Optimization Project (HOP).
