The skin is the body's largest organ. It serves as a protective barrier between our internal organs and the outside world. Despite its vital role in maintaining our overall health and well-being, we tend to abuse it the most. And it's not just sun, environmental aggressors and skincare that damage the skin either. It's also what we are putting into our bodies that's reflecting on the outside.

According to the latest research, life expectancy has risen dramatically, increasing 26 years since the mid-20th century. However our healthspan (healthy years free of disease) has not followed suit. There is a significant gap between our lifespan and healthspan driven by the pandemic of chronic diseases afflicting a growing aging population.
The current overburdened and reactive health care system is compounding this lag in quality of life, where health risks linger for years and are detected late. The age-old quest for healthy longevity begins with predictive healthcare. And while AI may seem a bit scary to us GenXers, its potential could prove very helpful when it comes to analyzing biomarkers on healthspan and longevity.
Jim Kean CEO of Molecular You, is a pioneering senior tech executive with a focus on innovative, disruptive, consumer-oriented health and wellness digital experiences. The consistent theme: creating user delight, loyalty, and retention while fundamentally re-engineering the cost of delivery. He founded WellnessFx and played a significant role in online health communities as President of Sapient Health Network, which later merged with WebMD.
Join Lauren and Jim as they examine: how we can feel more at ease with AI; how AI can help with our healthcare; how IA is it being used right now; how AI can help bridge the gap between healthspan and longevity; how AI’s role is shifting from reactive healthcare to proactive healthcare; how Molecular You assess an individual's distinct blood profile to anticipate potential health risks and catch chronic diseases early; how blood test results should be used; success stories using AI in healthcare and so much more.

Skin cycling? What is that? And is it really important as we age? In a nutshell, skin cycling is taking a cyclical approach to your facial skincare routine by using specific products on different days to regenerate the skin and improves skin quality. It's actually not that difficult but needs some explaining. And once you understand it, you will want to approach your skincare this way.

Did you know that girls as young as 10 are walking into Sephora and buying anti-aging skincare products that are meant for our skin? "Why?" you might ask. Because they have seen their peers unboxing and using them on TikTok. So now it's trendy to buy Drunk Elephant Bronzing Drops with peptides for $34 or Dior Lip Glow Oil for $40 or even Summer Fridays Midnight Ritual Retinol Renewal Serum for $69! Yes, tweens are putting anti-aging retinols and Vitamin C's and other acids on their face because it's trendy and aspirational, but it's also hurting their skin.
Why are we as middle aged women told to embrace aging and yet teens fear it? How did we get here?
Elena Frankel and Carolyn Barber are the founders of Flyte.70, a beauty brand that focuses on grown-up skin. They believe life is about embracing, not fighting, change and that we are as youthful as we feel...not by the numbers on our birthday cake. They understand that no matter how many layers of full-coverage concealer or contour sticks we apply, we won’t magically transform into our 20-year-old selves and that we need to be okay with that.
Join Lauren, Elena and Carolyn as they discuss: what lead to this irrational fear of aging; if TikTok or parents are driving the bus; who is paying for this expensive skincare and why; how stores might deal with this (if they can) and calm the dopamine needs of our tweens and teens; how we can talk some sense into teenage girls to not buy into the hype; how teens are ruining their skin; ingredients teens needs to stay away from, and so much more.

Why are we getting sicker today than we did even a mere 30 years ago? Have you ever stopped to think why severe allergies, autoimmune diseases and pretty much every illness you can think of is on the rise? In this episode we are going to get to the "root" of what's making us sick and how to improve our health and overall well-being. Spoiler alert: in a nutshell it all boils down to environmental pollutants and toxins.
Clayton Thomas is the co-founder of ROOT Wellness, a social sharing community focused on foundations of wellness; host of The Green Edition health and wellness show; and founder of The ROOT Brands®.

Join Lauren and Clayton for this lively discussion where they examine: how environmental pollutants are affecting our health; why detoxification, gut health and focus are vital and why it is so hard to strike a balance to achieve all three at the same time; what the challenge is with gut health today; how long it takes to detoxify and heal the gut; the surprising toxins in our clothing; the first steps to eliminate toxins from your diet; the best way to achieve a day full of focus and productivity especially as we age; what we should do to help eliminate stress specifically in today's volatile climate; and a bit about The ROOT Brands and how it helps you regain health and beauty from the inside out.

Did you know women are more susceptible to migraines than men? Nearly 28 million women in the US suffer from migraines. Fluctuating estrogen levels, pregnancies, and other lifestyle factors can trigger headaches and migraines in women. Migraines are one of the world's most common health conditions yet it can be very hard to treat since the triggers and affects are different for every sufferer. Thankfully treatments have come a long way in recent years.
Dr. Fred Cohen is one of the few headache specialists in the country trained in both Internal Medicine and Headache Medicine. As a life-long migraine sufferer himself, Dr. Cohen's research interests include treatments for chronic migraine and evaluating the epidemiology, burden and impact of migraines to help the 37 million of Americans who suffer from them.
Join Lauren and Dr. Cohen as they discuss: what a migraine is and what it isn't; the symptoms of migraines; why women are more susceptible to migraines than men; how menopause can bring on migraines; treatments to alleviate headaches and migraines in women; what can trigger a headache or migraine; tips to prevent migraines; the economic impact of migraines and so much more.

Can you suddenly develop food allergies in midlife? You bet! As we age, our immune system may weaken naturally (not to mention our out-of-whack hormones) which may be why you're suddenly struggling with foods you were always able to eat before. But maybe what you are experiencing is actually a food intolerance and not a food allergy. It can be difficult to differentiate between the two. And we need to, because in order to feel our best, it’s important to know which foods to avoid.
Dr. Gill Hart is a PhD Biochemist and the Scientific Director at YorkTest Laboratories. Her passion for science and helping people improve their health has guided her entire career. From managing a hospital hormone testing lab to developing unique "at home" fertility tests for men and women. Since 2005 she has been with YorkTest where her food sensitivity testing came to be. She says seeing the difference that it makes to everyday lives is the pinnacle of her career.
YorkTest Laboratories Inc pioneered the first IgG based food sensitivity in the 90's, and can boast that as of today, they have tested over half a million people.
Listen as Lauren and Dr. Hart talk about: the main differences between food allergies and food intolerance; why it seems food allergies on are the rise; the age range when food allergies and intolerances typically develop; if both can change as you get older; the most common food allergies and food intolerances in middle aged women; how our hormones impact our reactions to certain foods; the most common symptoms of both food allergies and food intolerances in middle aged women; and the best ways to manage food allergies and intolerances in our daily lives.

There was a time when doctors only treated problems. Now many are seeing the benefits of being proactive on the forefront as preventative measures. Lifestyle changes, even small ones, can help keep your skin healthy. This includes not only what we consume but how we think, sleep and do physical activity. Why not take control of the aspects of aging that are in our control?
Guest Dr. Ariel Ostad is a trusted and leading board-certified dermatologist, facial cosmetic surgeon and dermatologic surgeon. He is known for his "less is more" philosophy and personalized service at his practice in New York City. Even though they don't train dermatologists nutrition and lifestyle changes in medical school, Dr. Ostad is a firm believer that they play a significant role on how we age.
Join Lauren and Dr. Ostad as they examine: how our food intake and nutrition affects our skin; what particular foods are the worst for our skin; how and what we should be eating to help our skin thrive; how negative emotions and chronic stress can take a toll on our skin; which non-evasive skincare treatments are beneficial for women in midlife and the differences between them; his new neck refining treatment and why it is so important for women to take care of their necks; and so much more!

After a bit of a much needed summer break...we are back! And what better way to dive back into women's health issues than talking about women's heart health in midlife? The truth is, heart issues can present themselves differently for women than they do in men so it's important to know and recognize the signs and of course take preventative measures wherever we can.
Guest Dr. Elizabeth Klodas is a board-certified Cardiologist, author, speaker and founder of the Preventative Cardiology Clinic near Minneapolis, Minnesota. She is also the founder and Chief Medical Officer for Step One Foods which are a line of food products (like snack bars) clinically formulated to block cholesterol absorption and reabsorption in the digestive system thereby improving cardiovascular health.

When it comes to the topic of aging it seems everyone is buzzing about inflammation these days. But what is inflammation really, and why does it wreak so much havoc? Chronic inflammation (even mild) is generally considered to be a biomarker of accelerated biological aging and increases our susceptibility to diseases. So how do we know we have inflammation (because it's hard to tell) and what can we do to stop it in our own bodies? Since we are living longer, we want to live those extra years with vitality.
David M. Watumull is the co-founder and CEO of AX3 which targets inflammaging (a core hallmark of aging) with bio-pure astaxanthin which is a safe and powerful, naturally occurring anti-inflammatory.

She not only works with AX3 but is also passionate about their product since it has really helped her with her own chronic inflammation.

Gut health is hot topic right now and all the information coming at us is terribly confusing, especially if you don't have a medical degree. One of the reasons it's top-of-mind and has become a trendy topic is because women in perimenopause or menopause experience more unhealthy gut symptoms (constipation, gas, bloating and heartburn). But the truth is, emerging research is defining that there is a connection between gut health and overall health. So a basic understanding of gut health could just be the key to prevention and longevity.

If you want to recapture that fresh-faced youthful, radiant glow, love just may be the drug you're looking for. Yes, popular skincare ingredients like Bakuchiol, squalane, green tea, vitamin C, etc. are helping aging skin, but board-certified dermatologist, Dr. Nicole Hayre is taking a different approach. She uncovered a new patent-pending ingredient that she believes is going to be a game-changer in the skincare industry!
She discovered that high levels of oxytocin (aka the “love hormone”) in the body, has positive effects on the skin at the cellular level, resulting in glowing, youthful healthy skin. She found that the higher the oxytocin level was in someone's skin, the better they looked for their age. This discovery was so revolutionary that she was asked to speak at the United Nations on her findings. Now she has a range of skincare products called Cutocin which are formulated with a patent-pending ingredient that mimics the effects on of oxytocin in the skin resulting in a healthier, younger-looking appearance.
Join Lauren and Dr. Hayre as they discuss: Dr. Hayre's background in skincare; what led her to research the effect oxytocin has on the skin; her findings through this research; how to increase our oxytocin levels even if we are not "in love"; her discovery of the patent-pending Sheperd's Purse and how she integrated it into her skincare line Cutocin; what it was like creating a skincare line; what's next for her brand; the skincare concerns that she is seeing most from her patients; and what services they are asking for most.

Yes, aging is a fact of life, yet, for most women there is still a negative stigma associated with getting older. What can we all do to help change the conversation and learn to celebrate this time in our lives? The short answer is taking care our ourselves! It all boils down to cutting through the messaging which has been confusing at best and putting ourselves first. That begins with advocating for our own health so we can age smart and age well.

Women in midlife are burned out like never before. Mix being the sandwich generation (the meat between children and aging parents), menopause, slowly coming out of a pandemic, the economy, etc., mixed with generally not putting ourselves first and it's a recipe for total and complete burnout. Something has to give. But what?
Dr. Haley Perlus knows what it takes to overcome barriers and achieve peak performance. She was an elite alpine ski racer who went on to get her PhD in sports psychology. Now she works with individuals and teams to mange and expand their energy capacity while increasing resilience, focus and drive. She is a highly sought-after keynote speaker, professor, author and consultant. She is also a midlife woman who knows a lot about the subject of midlife burnout.
Please join Lauren and Dr. Perlus as they talk about: what burnout is (and isn't); why women seem extra burned out these days; the difference between burnout and depression; signs we are in burnout mode; what we can do to avoid burnout; what can happen if we ignore the warning signs and continue to burn the candle at both ends; if burnout is more prevalent in certain stages of life; what factors may increase midlife burnout; and if we burnout more easily as we age. It's a fascinating and illuminating discussion.

If you spend any time on TikTok or the interwebs you might have noticed a lot of talk about "skin cycling." It seems to be the hot skincare trend, but what is it? Essentially it means rather than applying the same products to your skin every day, you apply them with "rest days" so that your skin can repair itself after using certain active ingredients (like retinol). This process can help prevent irritation and inflammation. Confused? In this episode Madhavi Gavini breaks it down.
Madhavi Gavini is the founder and CEO of Droplette (a device that transforms skincare ingredients capsules into a powerful micro-mist, allowing for the delivery of skincare deep within the skin). A mathematician by training she holds degrees form MIT & Johns Hopkins.
