Join Dr. Diane Alexander & Dr. Cristina Del Toro Badessa speaking to Artisan patient, Amy Jacobs. The trio dives into treatments Amy has gotten as well as her wellness journey.

On this episode of The Art of Wellbeing, Dr. Alexander and Dr. Cristina sit down with Dr. Alexander's daughter, Nicki, to talk about how she turned her love for nature and the outdoors into a meaningful life’s mission.

From once considering a path in environmental law to realizing a desk job wasn’t for her, Nicki chose to write her own story - one rooted in purpose, passion, and giving back to the community. It’s an inspiring conversation about following what truly calls you and creating a lasting impact along the way.

This episode explores the powerful connection between aesthetic medicine and whole-body wellness. Drawing from decades of experience in plastic surgery, the conversation centers on helping patients align how they look on the outside with how they feel on the inside - without guilt or judgment.

The discussion expands beyond surgery to cover hormones, menopause, microbiome health, inflammation, strength training, and the importance of advocating for yourself in today’s medical system. A major theme is empowering women to question, gather data, and “write their own health story” rather than accepting dismissive answers.
