We’re fully into summer, and the wellness scene in Las Vegas is heating up. Biohacking Las Vegas continues to grow with a clear mission: connecting this city to the world of wellness and performance optimization. I’m constantly meeting people who introduce me to new modalities and technologies. I love exploring them because I’m always looking for better ways to optimize health and performance. While cold plunges and saunas get plenty of attention, I’m especially drawn to less

In today’s wellness world, conversations about nutrition, sleep, movement, and stress have become commonplace. But one essential piece of health is beginning to receive renewed attention: the quality of the water we drink. For Cory, founder of Liquid Zen, hydration isn’t simply about drinking more water; it’s being intentional with what you’re putting into your body. “I wanted to create the best water we as Americans could purchase,” Cory shared. “Not just another bottled wat

If you have ever sat in an office, exhausted and desperate for answers, only to be told that everything looks normal, you already know the particular heartbreak of that word: “normal”. Your bloodwork is fine. Your numbers are in range. And yet you do not feel fine. You feel like a stranger in your own body. You are not crazy; you have simply been unheard. Today I want to show you one of the biggest reasons why. Let me say something clearly. Standard labs matter. I respect the

Health’s Silent Threat You can eat the perfect diet, hire the best personal trainer, and take every supplement, but if you can’t manage stress, your health will still suffer. Long before security systems, a rush of cortisol was necessary to handle immediate threats, like fighting off a bear. Since we no longer face those threats, we should be the least stressed generation in history. Yet, many of us spend our days like we are still running from predators. We interact with a v

When Food Must Be Understood in Relationship In our previous article, we explored Prakruti and Vikruti, the Ayurvedic understanding of the nature we arrive with and the condition shaped by life over time. This perspective brings forward a simple but important truth: every body has its own rhythm, tendencies, and way of responding to food, climate, stress, sleep, habit, and season. From here, Ayurvedic medicine brings that same discernment to food. If each person digests, resp

In the middle of Las Vegas, tucked behind a charming retro-inspired salon, is a place where cows greet visitors, rescued pigs bask in the sunshine, and an emu might wander by to say hello. It isn't a petting zoo or a working farm; it's That 70's Sanctuary, a nonprofit dedicated to giving rescued animals a second chance while offering the community a place to slow down, reconnect, and heal. Founded by longtime hairstylist Tayla Hart, That 70's Sanctuary grew from an unexpected

Everyone knows to avoid junk food and exercise regularly, but how many of us give the same priority to our sleep? Approximately 40% of American adults report sleeping less than 7 hours each night, with even more reporting not feeling “well rested.” Far too many of us use caffeine to wake up and sedatives to calm down. However, caffeine does not actually wake us up. Rather, it simply masks fatigue by blocking adenosine receptors. Further, the human body is not designed for con

Dr. Patrick Porter is Helping People Think Better, Sleep Better, and Perform Better In today's fast-paced world, stress has become a constant companion for many people. From information overload and poor sleep to anxiety and mental fatigue, the modern brain is under relentless pressure. Enter BrainTap, an innovative brain fitness technology designed to help individuals optimize mental performance, improve sleep quality, and reduce stress through the power of neuroscience. At

Mothers do it all. But beneath the surface, many women are exhausted. Not because they aren't strong. Because they've been carrying too much for too long. As a mother of four, former doula, and founder of Desert Moon Wellness, I have spent much of my life helping people navigate transformation. I will always be an advocate for mothers showing up for one another during life's biggest transitions. I have experienced firsthand and witnessed countless times the power of women sup

I started my online career back in 2012, with two very important credentials: Foodie and Binge Eater I knew that the one thing I could talk about for the rest of my life was food, so why not start a website and business about it? Deep down inside, I really just wanted to eat Nutella and crusty bread for every meal (and actually did that for a semester in college once). At the same time, in cruel and equal opposition, I wanted to be healthy and thin. These goals were at odds

You are tired in a way that sleep does not fix. You are inflamed, foggy, and somehow not yourself anymore. You have done everything “right,” and still your body feels like it is working against you. And when you finally ask for help, you are told your labs look normal. I want you to hear something before we go one word further. YOU’RE NOT CRAZY. YOU’VE BEEN UNHEARD. I am Tiffany Marie, a Certified Nutritional Practitioner and Certified Peptide Integration Specialist with near

Arianny Celeste may be best known for her longtime role as a UFC ring girl, but these days, her most important titles are rooted in wellness and motherhood. After decades in a high-energy, image-driven industry, she’s embracing a more intentional pace, prioritizing mental well-being, mindful movement, and time at home with her son. I sat down with Arianny to find out how her definition of health has evolved and the simple practices that keep her grounded. STEPHANIE SHEHAN: Te

Non-Invasive Body Sculpting with Microcurrent: Real Results from Vanity Beauty My regimen continues to evolve as I learn more and experiment on myself. As a biohacker and longevity coach, I’m always eager to learn from new connections. Every month at my Biohacking Las Vegas meetups, I pick up fresh insights and tools. Back in January, I was introduced to some exciting applications of microcurrent therapy. My friend Hannah from Vanity Beauty explained how it uses very low-leve

Have you ever stopped to think about how much the people around you shape your day-to-day life? The ways they influence your routines, your habits, even the way you move through the world? Spend enough time around someone, and you’re bound to pick up some things. Maybe their lingo. Some of their habits. Coexist with someone, and you might start eating differently, spending your time differently, and maybe even thinking a little differently. It happens slowly, but it all adds

It is often said that it takes a village to raise a child. For some, there is a nurturing and supportive mother in their village. For others, a mother may be absent for many reasons, and a grandmother, family member, or another woman steps in. No matter who rises to the occasion, it is often a woman. When we pause and look back, we begin to see just how many influential women have helped shape who we are today. Mother's Day is often framed as a single story: one woman, one ro

Pregnancy is often portrayed as a glowing and joyful journey, but the reality is far more complex. During pregnancy and the months immediately following birth, a woman’s body undergoes profound physical, neurological, and emotional transformations. While many women are prepared for the basics—morning sickness, a growing belly, and sleepless nights with a newborn—there are many changes that few people discuss openly. These lesser-known experiences can catch expectant mothers o

Locally, it’s easier than ever to locate a gym, a spa, an IV drip bar or a hormone clinic. But what’s missing is a complete wellness ecosystem: one place that unites medicine, movement, recovery and lifestyle into a single plan for a longer, higher-quality life.​ Many of the people I meet are already “doing all the things.” They have a gym membership. They follow a nutrition plan. They see one provider for hormones, another for primary care, and book the occasional recovery t
