Episode Details

I spent over a million dollars and years of my life doing everything I was told would keep me hot, and a shocking amount of it was aging me faster. These are the 10 anti-aging mistakes I made at 48 so you don't have to, from the skincare and treatments that backfired on my face to the workouts and shots that were working against my body.

I'm a clinical nutritionist and the founder of a skincare line, and I've made most of these mistakes myself with total confidence and a platinum card. Inside this one I get into the melasma trap nobody warns you about (and why your red light mask and hot devices can make those dark spots worse), how to actually use a retinoid like tretinoin or retinol without peeling like a snake, why doing more skincare wrecked my barrier, the $13,000 microneedling and Morpheus8 RF lesson that cost me volume in my own face, why no protein and vitamin C means no new collagen after a laser or Sculptra, the real story on cortisol and belly fat in perimenopause, why strength training over 40 made me smaller not bigger, how to keep your muscle on a GLP-1 like tirzepatide or retatrutide, and the last mistake that affects all the others.

If you're a woman over 40 doing all the "right" things for your skin and body and getting nowhere, and you're tired of being told you're fine, this one is for you.
