#484: This episode has it ALL: Microplastic Solutions, How To Stop Eye Aging, GLP-1 Genetic Testing, Personalized Skincare and Natural GLP-1 Alternative
This week, I’m bringing you a special episode—a quarterly recap packed with some of the most fascinating conversations I’ve had recently on the future of health and longevity. From cutting-edge personalized skincare and breakthroughs in genetic responses to GLP-1 medications, to what you can really do about microplastics in your body, these are moments that genuinely excited me about where we’re headed.
You’ll hear Dr. Teo Soleymani dive into why umbrella terms don’t work in medicine (and how personalized dermatology is about to transform the field), Dr. Nora Abul-Husn’s research on the genetic “why” behind GLP-1 response, and gripping insights from Heather Hutchens and Dr. Debra Kimless about the hidden plastic in our environment. Plus, Dr. Bryce Applebaum reveals why your vision doesn’t have to age in your 40s, Dr. Laura James reframes cancer care through a feminist lens, and Sarah Kennedy uncovers how natural compounds from hops are shaking up the weight loss conversation.
If you’re looking for actionable insights on optimizing your health, longevity, and daily wellbeing, these clips are full of strategies, new science, and inspiration to help you take the next step on your own wellness journey.
