The Daria Hamrah Podcast
Welcome to The Daria Hamrah Podcast—where world-leading minds translate science into real-life tools for healthspan, performance, and aesthetics. I’m Dr. Daria Hamrah. By day I’m a facial cosmetic and reconstructive surgeon and wellness enthusiast; the rest of the time I’m a teacher and relentless student of longevity. After years of speaking with colleagues and hearing your questions on social media, I launched this show to go deeper than headlines and quick takes. Here’s what’s different. We’ll often take a single theme and stay with it—sometimes for an entire month—so you actually master it. That could be metabolic and mitochondrial health, sleep architecture, brain performance, strength and protein strategy, hormones across the lifespan, the microbiome and gut, skin longevity, oncology prevention, mental fitness, relationships, and purpose. Some episodes are solo—clear frameworks and clinic-tested protocols. Many feature world leaders in their fields: scientists, physicians, and founders pushing the frontier of health and wellness. We’ll talk tools in plain language: Behavioral practices (what to do—and what to stop doing) Nutrition strategies and supplementation Business and Entrepreneurship in Healthcare How to navigate current trends and hypes withoug gimmicks And this is a two-way conversation. Your comments, reviews, and upvotes guide what we cover next. Tell us what you want more of, and we’ll build it. No hype. No one-note protocols. Just evidence, nuance, and practical steps you can start this week—whether you’re a clinician guiding patients or a motivated listener optimizing your own life. Thanks for being here. Let’s redefine aging—and living—from the inside out.

Wrinkles, sagging, and pigment are easy targets because we can see them, measure them, and sell treatments for them.

Most people think memory loss is a downhill slide you can’t stop. We don’t. In this conversation with neurologist and neuroscientist Dr. Majid Fotuhi, we map out a twelve‑week blueprint that measurably improves memory, focus, and even grows hippocampal volume by targeting the real drivers of decline: poor sleep, chronic stress, insulin resistance, hearing loss, inactivity, and hidden medical issues.
