Starting Retinol and Effective Laser Treatments with Dr. Simran Sethi, MD Jan 17, 2023

Show notes

I love continuing this skincare conversation with many intelligent and talented industry professionals. We can get a full spectrum of information here, which is ideal as, of course, all of our skin is different! Dr. Simran Sethi, MD, taught me about her skincare research with women of color. Her skincare line, skin by Dr. Simran Sethi, helps women of color who struggle to find the right skincare products by working with the skin renewal process rather than against it. Her products support healthy skin function by minimizing irritation and inflammation. Dr. Sethi is the Founder and Medical Director of RenewMD Beauty & Wellness, a modern medical aesthetics spa with 3 locations across Northern California in Stockton, Fremont, and Folsom, and the host of The Skin Report podcast. We talked about her research, retinol, exfoliating, laser treatments, skin myths…so much!

Taking the Pressure off of New Year's Resolutions w/ Dr. Michelle Segar Jan 10, 2023

Show notes

It’s a new year, and we are all trying to form new habits and routines. However, we must remember to give ourselves grace and allow for flexibility because success arises within variations of our goals. Michelle Segar is an award-winning lifestyle coach and sustainable behavior change researcher at the University of Michigan. For nearly three decades, she has pioneered methods to create sustainable, healthy behavior change. We discussed what it means to be an unhabitor, decision disruptions, and her thoughts on New Year’s Resolutions. She is an advisor to leading global organizations and frequently interviewed in major media outlets like The New York Times, NPR, and The Wall Street Journal. Her latest book, "The Joy Choice" was named one of the Best Health Books by the Washington Post. It challenges the habit paradigm with startling evidence from emerging science and her decades of coaching individuals on creating sustainable behavior change.

Getting the Negative Voice in Our Heads to BE QUIET with Dr. Ethan Kross Jan 03, 2023

Show notes

Happy New Year!! My guest is here to help us start the year in a healthier head space. Dr. Ethan Kross is one of the world's leading experts on controlling the conscious mind. An award-winning professor and bestselling author in the University of Michigan's top-ranked Psychology Department and its Ross School of Business, he studies how the conversations people have with themselves impact their health, performance, decisions, and relationships. We cover it all. He is the author of the National Bestseller "CHATTER: The Voice in Our Head, Why it Matters and How to Harness It." He explores the silent conversations we have with ourselves while interweaving groundbreaking behavioral and brain research from his lab with real-world case studies. He warns that giving in to negative and disorienting self-talk—what he calls "chatter"—can tank our health, sink our moods, strain our social connections, and cause us to fold under pressure.

Dr. Elsa Jungman: Less is More in Your Skincare Routine Nov 29, 2022

Show notes

I'm a major fan of Dr. Elsa Jungman's products and was thrilled to talk with her. When she was 18, she suffered from Toxic Shock Syndrome, leaving her skin incredibly sensitive. Since then, she earned a Ph.D. in Skin Pharmacology, dedicating her life to skin science. After researching the microbiome's relationship to skin health, she created her minimal and microbiome-friendly skincare line. During our conversation, she explained the microbiome and how we can respect it with fewer products. Additionally, she shared the ins and outs of her unique skincare line, her experience as a working mother, and more!
