She asked one question. "Are you a nurse?" The woman holding the microneedling pen didn't answer.

A consumer took a Groupon deal, got the treatment, and got pitched on Botox while she was still in the chair. The whole thing sat wrong with her. So she went looking for someone who could tell her whether the place was even legal, found the Med Spa Board, and sent an email.

Dr. Kate Dee opened it and started digging.

You get the investigation in the order she ran it. The website with two names and no credentials next to either one. The reviews, and the pattern in them that should have been the first warning. The state license lookup, which takes about four minutes and anyone can do it from a phone.

Then the call to the woman named as medical director on that website. She picked up. Wait until you hear what she said about her name being on there.

And then Dr. Dee called the spa herself, as a customer, asking the same things you'd ask. What came back wasn't a phone call. It was one line, and it confirmed everything she suspected.

This place has been open for more than four years.

If you've ever booked a treatment because the price felt like a steal, you'll find out what that price was actually buying you. And if you're an injector or an owner who knows you're not fully compliant, stay to the end. Dr. Dee tells you exactly where to start.

Press play and learn how to check any med spa yourself before you ever sit in that chair.

What if up to half of all dementia cases could be prevented, and the two things that matter most in midlife are things almost nobody checks?

Host Dr. Kate Dee sits down with Dr. Stephanie Rogers, a board-certified internist and geriatrician who teaches medicine at UCSF, to talk about what the research actually says about protecting your brain.

If you've assumed dementia is all genetics, or that prevention starts at 70, this changes the timeline. The window is open right now, in your 30s, 40s, and 50s.

Dr. Rogers walks through the big international review that identified 14 factors with real evidence behind them, and she names the two midlife factors with the strongest link of all. Most people are in denial about both.

She also takes on the social media myth about statins, explains where GLP-1 research really stands right now, and shares why the brain game apps you've been faithfully doing every morning may not be doing what you hoped.

Chapters:
00:02:30 - How Much Dementia Is Preventable
00:03:35 - Why Midlife Matters Most
00:04:35 - The Hearing Loss Connection
00:05:57 - Cholesterol and Brain Health
00:08:00 - GLP-1s and Dementia Risk
00:13:53 - The Habits That Matter Most
00:17:59 - Alcohol, Aging, and the Brain
00:21:47 - Aging Well Beyond Aesthetics
00:23:00 - The Power of Social Connection
00:26:49 - Protecting Hearing and Vision
00:28:30 - Brain Games, Creatine, and Sleep
00:36:39 - The Dementia Prevention Checklist

Together they get into sleep trackers, supplements, your nightly glass of wine, and the one habit that turns out to be about as protective as exercise, and that hardly anyone talks about.

Stay to the end. Dr. Rogers turns all 14 factors into a short list of things to ask your doctor for at your next physical.

Press play and learn what you can still control while it's early enough to matter.

Who is really asking for that laser treatment, the teenager sitting in the chair or the parent standing behind her?

Dr. Kate Dee says the answer changes everything. And it is often not the answer the family walks in expecting.

Dr. Dee opens up her own consult room and walks you through one of the most uncomfortable conversations in aesthetics: when a minor is brought in for permanent hair removal.

She has treated teens. She has also turned families away at the door. Skin type and hair color decide whether the treatment can work. Something else entirely decides whether it should happen at all.

You'll hear the red flag that makes her stop a consult, why she personally takes the blame for saying no instead of letting her nurse practitioner or PA carry it, and why she believes this call can never sit with an esthetician.

If you're a parent weighing this for your kid, you'll understand what a careful clinic actually digs into before anyone books. If you own or work in a med spa, you'll get a clear line for where consent gets complicated with a minor and how to handle it without losing the family.

Stay to the end, because Dr. Dee settles whether "permanent" really means permanent, and why that word carries more weight at 17 than it does at 30.

Press play and learn the one red flag that should stop a teen consult before the laser ever turns on.
