Neuroscientist and longevity expert Dr. Kay Linker joins me to break down the science of staying young—inside and out. We dive deep into how the brain ages (and how to slow it down), the neuroscience behind exercise, and why Zone 2 training is a game-changer for cognitive health. Dr. Linker explains how your brain detoxes itself, how to avoid glucose spikes and crashes, and what fasting really does for your mind. We also talk hormones, exosomes, and the surprising link between how you look and how you feel. From optimizing nutrition and reducing dementia risk to her sauna and cold plunge routine for longevity, this episode is packed with cutting-edge insight. Plus, we cover the best next-gen skincare, the three pillars for lasting brain health, and which “healthy” trends to skip altogether.

Jen Atkin is a celebrity hairstylist, founder of the brands OUAI and Mane, co-founder of Highlight Artists, author and BELLAMI Global Brand Ambassador. She joins me for a candid conversation on all things hair, hustling to build a successful career and hard-earned wisdom. Jen opens up about how loss has shaped her life and business, why work ethic and authenticity matter more than ever and how the Kardashians helped put her on the map after years of prioritizing clients over her own life. We get into learning to say no, overcoming perfectionism after growing up in a Mormon household, surviving the LA fires and the beauty hacks she swears by. She also shares the most flattering cuts for every face shape, the truth about extensions, the hair myths she wants us to stop believing and so much more.

In this solo, I’m catching you up on everything: walking through hard things and what it actually feels like when life finally turns around. I talk about staying friends with an ex (yes, it’s possible), how my lifestyle now compares to when I was married, and the biggest perspective shifts I’ve had post-divorce. I also get into finding joy in the small stuff, how to want what you already have, and my honest thoughts on kids now that I’m in a happy, long(ish) relationship. For a little beauty chat, I discuss my current in-office treatments, easy chest hacks, what I wish I did earlier, and the top five skincare and makeup products I can’t live without.

Hallie Gould is GM and editor-in-chief of the online beauty publication Byrdie. She joins the show for a fun and candid deep dive into the beauty and wellness world from both sides of the industry. We get into skincare routines and Hallie’s specific go-to products, how aging, hormones, and breakouts change the way we approach maintenance, and the instant-gratification treatments she actually thinks are worth it. Hallie pulls back the curtain on what really happens behind the scenes at media outlets—how editors vet products they recommend, what celebrity disclosures about surgery mean for readers, and which trends are here to stay. We also talk hair hacks, the crossover of beauty and wellness, and embracing our 40s with confidence—complete with Eva Longoria and Salma Hayek aging-goals inspo. Plus, Hallie shares her experience with treatments like Softwave and PRF, and walks us through her makeup routine for that effortless dewy glow.

Nina Westbrook is a licensed marriage and family therapist, host of Do Tell podcast, and founder of health and wellness platforms Bene and Nebbi. She joins the show for a candid conversation about the realities of relationships including being an introvert married to a public figure and how she’s learned to say no in order to protect her peace. We explore whether a partner should be responsible for your happiness, the difference between “doing the work” in a relationship versus forcing something that isn’t right, and if every challenge is truly fixable—including infidelity.

Dr. Latt Mansor is a researcher and global expert in metabolic health, with a PhD from Oxford in physiology, specializing in nutrition, ketones, and human performance. He joins the show to break down what really drives metabolism, energy, and weight loss. We dive into common myths, the truth about fast vs. slow metabolism, and what to do when you hit a weight loss plateau. Dr. Mansor explains how hormones, stress, and nutrient deficiencies affect fat burning and wellbeing, how carb cycling can work to your advantage, and why ketones may be a powerful tool—not only for metabolism, but also for anxiety, sleep, and sustained energy. We also compare ketones to caffeine and GLP-1s, giving you science-backed insights to cut through the noise and optimize your health.

Dr. Miguel Mascaró is a double board-certified facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon known for his refined, natural results and advanced approach to aesthetics. He joins the show for a deep dive into the cutting edge of aesthetics—and many (funny) personal anecdotes between the two of us as well. From Sculptra and fat transfers to biostimulators vs. fillers, we break down what actually works, when to start considering facelifts (including endoscopic ones) and the underrated procedure nearly every celebrity swears by. We also get real about complications, controversial trends like fox eyes and buccal fat removal, and the next wave of regenerative treatments: think PDRN “salmon sperm,” exosomes, PDGF, Softwave, RF microneedling, and even bee venom as a Botox alternative. On a light note we hold a trend funeral, expose who is more vain between the two of us, talk what procedure he’s had to talk me out of, and much more. Whether you’re curious about the science, the trends, or just want to know what’s hype vs. what’s here to stay, this conversation is equal parts educational and entertaining.
