    Can AI Check Your Moles? How to Spot Skin Cancer Early and How Much Sunscreen Is Enough | EP240

    Can a quick AI search tell you whether that new mole is worth a trip to the doctor? Dr. Antony Nakhla has seen how AI can get that assessment wrong in both directions. Real skin cancer prevention starts with knowing what to look for and when to act. On Wellness Junkies, Amy Sherman talks with Dr. Nakhla, a double board-certified dermatologist, dermatologic surgeon, author, scientist, and innovator. Amy has had nearly ten basal cell carcinomas herself, so she brings firsthand experience and plenty of questions. Dr. Nakhla shares the warning signs that should send you to a dermatologist and explains why the sun you got before age 20 matters more than most people realize. Then they get practical. Dr. Nakhla walks through a simple rule for how much sunscreen to apply to your face and body, and why the number on the bottle matters less than you might expect. He also settles whether your SPF makeup counts, when Mohs surgery is the right call, and why choosing the right specialist for skin cancer removal matters. Stay for the skincare tips near the end. Dr. Nakhla shares an eye cream hack you probably haven’t tried, plus his take on whether a stronger retinoid gets you better results. Press play for wellness tips you can use before your next day in the sun and a smarter plan for skin cancer prevention that fits real life.

    What Genetic Testing Can (and Cannot) Tell You About Your Health: A Genetic Counselor Explains | EP239

    You eat the yogurt, take the probiotic and sit in the sauna. You still feel off. Genetic testing may help explain why some of the healthy habits you trust may be working against your body. Amy Sherman sits down with Natalie Samson, a Licensed Certified Genetic Counselor and founder of Golden Genetics, on this week’s Wellness Junkies. Natalie shares the story of a patient who spent thousands of dollars on gut specialists and supplements before genetic testing revealed a possible reason for her symptoms. Some of the habits she counted as healthy were part of the problem. Natalie also walks through her four-P framework and how it can support better health and quality of life as you age. If you live with vestibular migraine, Natalie describes the genetic patterns her clinic has observed and the research she has underway. She breaks down why mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS), hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS) and POTS so often show up together, and why other connective tissue disorders belong on the list to rule out. Amy and Natalie then get into the MTHFR gene, the B12 timing mistake that kept one patient awake at night and why a single test can guide your choices for years. Press play for wellness tips built around your own DNA. You will hear what genetic testing can tell you, what it cannot, and the three supplement basics Natalie suggests most people consider before they chase the next trend.

    Clean Beauty Isn’t Always Clean, and Your Skincare Routine Is Probably Too Complicated | EP238

    “Clean” on the front of a jar can mean almost anything. There is no standardized regulatory definition of “clean” for cosmetics, so clean skincare can still carry synthetic fragrance, dyes, and parabens under a pretty label. If you have ever stood in a store unsure which claims to trust, start here. Amy Sherman sits down with Karen Behnke on Wellness Junkies. Karen founded Juice Beauty in 2005, served as a founding member of Ulta’s Conscious Beauty board, and was recognized by Elle, Forbes, and Cosmopolitan for helping build the clean beauty movement. Her fourth company, Beauty Crush Skincare, grows its grapes on her organic vineyard in Sonoma. Karen shares the free tool she uses to check skincare ingredients and the “made without” claim that still misleads her close friends. She explains what regenerative skincare means for your skin barrier and why her own skin stopped tolerating harsh exfoliants in her 50s and 60s. You will also learn what separates real clinical testing from a simple “tested” label and how to spot a third-party seller on Amazon before you buy. Tired of 10-step beauty routines? Karen breaks down the three steps she believes most women need and the one product category she can’t live without. Press play for clean skincare and skincare tips you can use the next time you shop, plus Karen’s beauty tips for getting out the door in five minutes.

    Bone Health Is Not Just for Old People (Even If You Lift Weights and Eat Well) | EP237

    If you're 40+, bone health probably feels like a problem for later. Then a DEXA scan at 50 comes back with osteopenia and osteoporosis, even after years of heavy lifting and HRT. That is exactly what happened to Amy Sherman, and it sent her looking for answers. On Wellness Junkies, Amy sits down with Dr. Kristi Tough DeSapri, a board-certified internist and founder of Bone and Body Women's Health. Dr. DeSapri is a national leader in osteoporosis and menopause care. She explains why women should be thinking about bone health well before 65, when an earlier DEXA scan makes sense, and what T-scores and Z-scores actually tell you. She shares the wellness tips she gives patients who love walking and swimming but skip impact work, the simple blood and urine workup that uncovers a hidden cause of bone loss about a third of the time, and the wellness routines she follows herself. Her wellness product recommendations come with a warning about buying supplements on Amazon and why third-party testing matters. She also weighs in on collagen, creatine, and the trends social media keeps pushing. Wellness Junkies is one of the best wellness podcasts for women who want real answers without the panic. Press play to learn how women can protect their bone health long before a fracture forces the conversation.

    The 15-Minute Fix for Decluttering Your Home | Wellness Tips for a Calm Home | EP236

    If you open a closet and feel your shoulders tighten, there is a reason. Studies link clutter and cortisol, the body's main stress hormone. That means the pile on the kitchen counter may be adding to the weight you carry every day. Decluttering your home is one of the few wellness levers fully in your control, and it can start smaller than you think. One drawer and a timer might be enough. On Wellness Junkies, Amy Sherman sits down with Shira Gill, organizing expert and bestselling author of Minimalista, Organized Living, and LifeStyled. Shira hears one word in nearly every email she gets, and it says a lot about clutter and mental health. She also explains why she doesn't believe in organized or disorganized people, and why your home organization plan should not begin at the Container Store. You'll hear the 15-minute win Shira uses to get anyone moving, plus the one question she says beats "could this be useful?" She shares how she handled an entire house full of her late father's belongings and decided what was truly meaningful enough to keep, and the room she suggests starting with first. Amy also gets honest about her two nemeses, mail and a bathroom full of products, and Shira offers practical wellness tips for both. Press play if you're ready to start decluttering your home without the overwhelm and build a calm home that gives you energy back.

    Manifestation Is Not a Vision Board (It Goes Way Deeper) | Astrology and Wellness Tips | EP235

    You have the title, the team, and the income. So why does it still feel like something is in the way? Brett Chinn says the answer usually lives in a belief you picked up years ago, and astrology can help you find it. Brett is an intuitive business coach and manifestation expert who also works as an astrologer, medium, and tarot reader. She spent two decades in executive search before she started to help leaders 40+ close the gap between who they are and who they want to be. On Wellness Junkies, she joins host Amy Sherman for one of those relatable wellness conversations that make manifestation feel less like wishful thinking and more like getting honest about your beliefs, identity, and what you think is possible for you. So where do you start? Brett shares why mindfulness comes first, how to catch the thoughts that quietly become beliefs, and a low-stakes manifestation test for skeptics. She explains how astrology can offer another way to understand yourself, then puts it into practice with a live reading of Amy's birth chart and a warning about those general horoscopes you might want to stop reading. The wrap session brings wellness tips and wellness hacks worth stealing. Brett explains the 20/80 rule she uses to avoid burnout and shares beauty product recommendations she keeps rebuying, from the eyelash curler she swears by to the under-eye patches that rescue her after a bad night.

Sean co-founded Wanderlust, which grew to 65 events around the world, before he walked away and started something new.

Amy and Sean get into the areas of wellness Sean thinks deserve more attention, from oral health to the products and materials we use at home. He shares his honest take on what may be overhyped and what he actually finds useful, from red light masks to robotic massage, plus the one very unwellness habit he refuses to give up. They also talk about why taking your health into your own hands does not mean going it alone, and why Sean built an entire summit around the idea that wellness works better as a team sport. Stick around for his take on what we can learn from athletes like Tom Brady when it comes to longevity, recovery, and staying at the top of your game.
