Show notes

Hello Beauties!
On this week’s episode of Beauty Bytes with Dr. Kay: Secrets of a Plastic Surgeon, I get a chance to talk to cosmetic chemist and blogger, Stephen Alan Ko! We became Instagram friends some time ago and I was immediately drawn to the way that he was paving the way for fellow skincare influencers. As someone with my own skincare line, I always enjoy getting to chat with chemists about the innovative products and ingredients that are showing up on store shelves today! Stephen tells me a little bit about the difference between Retinol and Retin-A, what it takes to start a skincare line, and the importance of sunscreen (of course!). We tell you the three skincare items we would take with us to a desert island and discuss the difference between chemical and physical sunscreen. If you’re a skincare junkie be sure to listen to this episode and don’t forget to e-mail a screenshot of your podcast review with mailing address to info@beautybydrkay.com for a special treat in the mail!

Hydroquinone
Glycolic Acid

446: The Life Changing Path of Intermittent Fasting Jul 30, 2022

Show notes

Hi Beauties!
Remember when breakfast was the most important meal of the day? Or so we thought. In fact, new research shows there may be benefits from skipping your avocado toast in the morning. In this week's Five Minute Friday, I will be discussing the increasingly popular Intermittent Fasting diet; its benefits, and my personal experience. Intermittent fasting has shown effective results for weight loss, benefits include improving insulin resistance, lowering cholesterol, and reducing inflammation. In my experience, I like to have a late dinner around 8 pm and have a low-calorie to a zero-calorie meal in the morning like green juice or black coffee. I 100% stand by adding my popular Simply Inulin powder and Internal Radiance Beauty Collagen to my juices because they keep me satiated until lunch. Over the course of the pandemic, I have lost 15 pounds while intermittent fasting! Can you believe it? Comment down below if you are currently on or want to try Intermittent Fasting. Just remember: There's no one-size-fits-all plan when it comes to diet and lifestyle. Obviously, consult your physician if you're thinking of beginning this diet. If you have a question about something you’d like covered on the podcast, feel free to send me a DM or email info@beautybydrkay.com and I’d be happy to respond!
