More U Podcast

BBNL Media

The More-U Podcast is all about how incredible individuals are helping others to get more of themselves and also how they built a business and brand for themselves in the process while still trying to stay human as good partners, spouses, parents and more. We will explore the world of medical aesthetics, plastic surgery, wellness, fitness, psychology and a whole lot more.  The show is hosted by Dr. Ben Caughlin, who is the leading cosmetic jaw surgeon in North America whose work has been described as nothing short of magic, but also a Tik Tok star that probably holds the record for publicly saying F*** more times than any other surgeon in history and Dominic Mazzone, Founder and CEO of MedSpa Partners, one of the largest and most successful consolidations of medical aesthetic clinics in North Americas and a serial entrepreneur with almost 19 businesses under his belt (some booming and some disasters).  Ben and Dom are able to extract the essence and nature from their guests, while also being vulnerable on how they're balancing being Type A titans during the day and humble dads and husbands at night. Learning, laughs, introspection and even a couple of fights!

    2-Week Botox? Laser Safety, Social Media & Business Lessons | Dom & Ben

    What happens when you only have two weeks for your Botox to work? In this episode of More U, Dom Mazzone and Dr. Benjamin Caughlin sit down for a candid conversation about what’s happening in aesthetic medicine, from short-acting neurotoxins and laser treatments to social media, entrepreneurship, and the pressure that comes with putting yourself out there. They break down the potential uses of a short-acting neurotoxin, including why its fast onset and short duration could make it interesting for certain therapeutic and “rescue” situations — while questioning where it actually fits into everyday cosmetic treatments. Then the conversation shifts to lasers and safety. Ben talks about testing a new plasma nitrogen technology on himself, why laser settings matter, and why the same technology can produce very different results depending on who is using it and how it is being used. Dom also opens up about his growing presence on social media, why he feels uncomfortable watching himself on camera, the mistakes he’s made throughout his career, and why he wants to use those experiences to help other entrepreneurs avoid making the same mistakes. They also talk about authenticity, dealing with negative comments, learning what people actually want to hear, and why putting more of yourself into your content can make it more meaningful. This is More U without the guest — just Dom and Ben talking about the things they’re seeing, learning, questioning, and figuring out in real time. In this episode: • The rise of short-acting neurotoxins • Could “2-week Botox” have therapeutic uses? • Why fast-acting treatments could be useful for certain situations • Laser safety and why settings matter • Testing new aesthetic technology • How much energy is actually needed from a laser? • Social media and the pressure of putting yourself out there • Learning from business mistakes • Leadership, entrepreneurship and sharing what you know • Why authenticity matters online • Dealing with negative comments and criticism • How to make educational content feel more like YOU 📲 SOCIAL MEDIAPodcast: @more_u_official Hosts: @dominicmazzone1 @manyfacesofchicago Guest: @shinobay ✨ SPONSORED BY VOS COLLECTION A special thank you to VOS Collection for supporting this episode of More U.

    We Got Aging Skin Wrong: The Rise of Regenerative Aesthetics | Dr. Shino Bay Aguilera

    What if the future of aesthetic medicine isn’t about adding more filler — but about understanding what’s happening inside the skin? On this episode of More U, Dom Mazzone and Dr. Benjamin Caughlin sit down with Dr. Shino Bay Aguilera, a globally recognized cosmetic dermatologist and pioneer in regenerative aesthetics, for one of the most fascinating conversations yet. Dr. Shino Bay challenges the way we think about aging skin, aesthetic treatments, and what it actually means to create long-term results. From bio-stimulators and collagen to hyaluronic acid, senescent cells, functional medicine, supplements, and emerging enzymatic treatments, this conversation goes far beyond traditional Botox and filler. But this episode is about much more than aesthetic medicine. Dr. Shino Bay opens up about growing up extremely poor, experiencing bullying and childhood trauma, discovering he had dyscalculia, and the determination that drove him toward his lifelong goal of becoming a dermatologist. His philosophy on visualization, patience, gratitude, spirituality, hard work, and purpose becomes just as compelling as the medical conversation. You’ll also hear why he believes the industry needs to move beyond treating aesthetics as a transaction — and why the next generation of aesthetic medicine may focus more on cellular health, tissue regeneration, and working with the body rather than simply replacing tissue. In this episode: • Why regenerative aesthetics is changing the way we approach aging skin • Bio-stimulators vs. traditional fillers • Why some aesthetic results take time • Collagen, hyaluronic acid & the extracellular matrix • Senescent cells and cellular aging • Why “hotter and stronger” isn’t always better • Functional and orthomolecular approaches to aesthetics • Supplements, nutrition and cellular vitality • The potential of enzymatic treatments • What Dr. Shino Bay believes is the next wave of aesthetic medicine • Why he believes we shouldn't replace every tissue with synthetic solutions • Visualization, gratitude and the 11:11 ritual • His journey from poverty to becoming a dermatologist • The importance of patience, hard work and purpose • What Dr. Shino Bay wants his legacy to be This episode is for educational and entertainment purposes only and does not constitute medical advice.

    What Happens to Your Body After GLP-1 Weight Loss? | Dr. Eric Anderson

    You lost the weight. But what happens to your body after the weight comes off? On this episode of More U, Dom and Dr. Benjamin Caughlin sit down with body surgeon Dr. Eric Anderson to talk about the side of GLP-1 weight loss that many people may not think about: what happens AFTER major weight loss. From loose skin and body contouring to tummy tucks, breast lifts, liposuction, fat transfer, and the evolving role of plastic surgery after GLP-1 medications, Dr. Anderson breaks down what patients should understand before and after their weight-loss journey. The conversation also goes beyond surgery. Dr. Eric Anderson explains why liposuction is NOT a weight-loss procedure, why “shape over size” is central to his philosophy, what actually contributes to a successful BBL, and why natural-looking results are becoming increasingly important. Dom, Ben, and Eric also get into something surgeons rarely talk about: the business of being a modern plastic surgeon. From Instagram and TikTok to authenticity, personal branding, and the pressure to constantly create content, they discuss why social media can sometimes feel harder than surgery itself. And of course, there’s plenty of More U banter along the way. 🔥 In this episode: • What happens to excess skin after GLP-1 weight loss • Why major weight loss can lead to body contouring surgery • What patients should know before losing significant weight • Loose skin after losing 30+ pounds • Tummy tucks, breast lifts and post-weight-loss surgery • Why liposuction is NOT weight-loss surgery • What actually makes a BBL successful • The “skinny BBL” and a more conservative approach • Why shape matters more than size • Fat transfer and how much fat actually survives • Natural-looking plastic surgery and the Chicago aesthetic • Why surgeons need to learn social media • Authenticity and personal branding for plastic surgeons • Managing patient expectations • When a surgeon should say NO to a patient • The future of body contouring and skin-tightening technology If you've lost significant weight with a GLP-1, bariatric surgery, diet and exercise—or you're considering body contouring after weight loss—this conversation is for you. 🎙️ Subscribe to More U for conversations about medicine, aesthetics, health, business, and what it really means to look good AND feel good. 📲 SOCIAL MEDIAPodcast: @more_u_official Hosts: @dominicmazzone1 @manyfacesofchicago Guest: @dr.ericwanderson Website:  ✨ SPONSORED BY VOS COLLECTION A special thank you to VOS Collection for supporting this episode of More U.

    Stop Trying to Be the “Perfect” Leader: Find Your Leadership Identity | Dhara Mistry

    What actually makes someone a great leader? Is it a title? Experience? Charisma? The ability to make decisions? Or is leadership something much deeper? In this episode of More U, Dom and Dr. Caughlin sit down with Dhara Mistry, an executive coach who helps leaders discover their own leadership identity, clarify their purpose, and develop the skills needed to lead authentically. Dhara challenges the idea that leadership is something you can simply copy and paste from another successful CEO. Instead, she introduces her Leadership Operating System, built around identity, core values, executive presence, practical application, and continuous growth. The conversation explores why some high-performing professionals struggle after becoming managers, why not everyone is meant to manage people, and why leadership isn't necessarily about having all the answers. Dhara also explains why psychological safety, honesty, communication, vulnerability, and authenticity can have a major impact on company culture—and why today's employees can quickly recognize when a leader is simply putting on a performance. And she leaves listeners with a powerful challenge: identify your North Star, understand your core values, and make sure the way you're spending your time actually reflects what you say matters to you. In this episode: 👥 What does an executive coach actually do? 🎯 Finding your leadership North Star 🧠 Building your Leadership Operating System 💬 Why communication is a hard skill 🔥 Authentic vs. copy-paste leadership 📈 Why high performers struggle after promotion 🤝 Leadership vs. management ⚡ Why not everyone is meant to lead people 🗣️ Executive presence & influence ❤️ Psychological safety and trust 💡 Finding your leadership superpower 🚀 How to become a more authentic leader 🎧 Watch the full episode of More U now. 📲 SOCIAL MEDIAPodcast: @more_u_official Hosts: @dominicmazzone1 @manyfacesofchicago Guest: @dharasworld Website: www.coachingwithdhara.com ✨ SPONSORED BY VOS COLLECTION A special thank you to VOS Collection for supporting this episode of More U.

    Why Real Connection Feels So Hard Now: Sex, Dating & Relationships | Jenn Pinkerton

    Why are people having less sex, struggling to date, and finding it harder to build meaningful relationships? In this episode of More U, Dom and Dr. Ben sit down with Jenn Pinkerton, a relationship and sex expert, to unpack what is happening to modern dating, intimacy, and human connection. The conversation begins with a surprising trend: sexual activity has been declining across multiple age groups, including younger adults and married couples. Jenn explains why she believes emotional safety and connection are at the center of a thriving relationship and sex life.  From dating apps and instant gratification to unrealistic expectations, emotional vulnerability, porn, sex robots, and the pressure to find the “perfect” partner, this conversation asks whether modern relationships have become too transactional—and whether we're losing the ability to slow down and actually connect.  Jenn also explains the difference between spontaneous and responsive desire, why communication matters so much in sex, why couples sometimes need to intentionally schedule intimacy, and why being present in your body can completely change your sexual experience.   And the conversation goes somewhere even bigger: What happens to human connection as technology continues to replace real-world interaction? In this episode: ❤️ Why emotional safety is essential for intimacy  📱 How dating apps changed relationships  💬 Why communication is the foundation of great sex  🔥 Spontaneous vs. responsive desire  💑 Can couples have a great relationship without having sex?  🛏️ Should couples sleep in separate bedrooms?  📅 Can scheduling sex actually help your relationship?  🔞 How pornography can affect expectations and connection  🤖 Sex robots, AI & the future of intimacy  💔 Why relationships can survive infidelity  ❤️ How to build deeper connection and intimacy  🎯 Why you shouldn't judge a relationship after one date 🎧 Watch the full episode of More U now.

    The Peptide Wild West: Are Peptides Safe? | Dr. Eliza Parker

    Peptides are everywhere—but how much do we actually know about them? In this episode of More U, Dom and Dr. Ben sit down with Dr. Eliza M. Parker, an aesthetic medicine physician and longtime student of wellness, longevity, and peptide therapies, for an honest conversation about one of the fastest-growing areas in modern medicine. Dr. Parker breaks down what peptides are, how they work, where they may have a role in aesthetic medicine, and why patients need to be extremely careful about where these products come from and who is prescribing them.  The conversation goes far beyond the hype. They discuss peptide protocols around aesthetic procedures, GLP-1 medications, growth hormone-related peptides, compounding pharmacies, lab testing, personalized medicine, and the dangers of self-diagnosing or buying peptides online without proper medical oversight.   And Eliza makes one thing very clear: peptides aren't magic. Sleep, nutrition, exercise, and doing the real work still matter.  In this episode: 🧬 What exactly are peptides?  💉 Are peptides safe?  ⚠️ The dangers of buying peptides online  🔬 Why sourcing and testing matter  💪 Peptides and aesthetic procedures  💉 GLP-1s and weight loss  🧪 Why lab work and monitoring matter  🧬 The future of personalized medicine  💊 Peptides vs. the fundamentals of health  ✨ Can peptides actually improve aesthetic results? 🎧 Watch the full episode of More U now.

    Your Brain Is More Stressed Than You Think: How to Reset Your Nervous System | Dr. Patrick Porter

    What if the problem isn't that you're too stressed—but that your brain never gets the chance to recover? In this episode of More U, Dom and Dr. Ben sit down with Dr. Patrick K. Porter, founder and CEO of BrainTap, for a rapid-fire conversation about brain health, stress, sleep, neuroplasticity, nervous-system regulation, and human performance.  Patrick explains why recovery is just as important as exertion, how chronic stress can affect the brain, why deep sleep matters, and how light, breathwork, meditation, and brainwave entrainment may influence the nervous system.  The conversation also explores BrainTap, a technology that uses synchronized light, sound, and vibration to help train different brain states. Patrick explains how it is used for stress, sleep, recovery, mental preparation, and performance.  They also get into some fascinating—and controversial—ideas about pain, sleep, circadian rhythm, jet lag, breathwork, heart-rate variability, productivity, and why sometimes doing less and recovering better can actually make you more productive.  In this episode: 🧠 How stress affects the brain  😴 Why sleep is critical for brain recovery  💡 Why light may be more important than you think  🌬️ Breathwork & nervous-system regulation  ⚡ How brainwave entrainment works  🧠 Neuroplasticity and training the brain  📱 Technology and brain health  ✈️ Why Patrick says jet lag is really “light lag”  💪 Recovery, performance & productivity  🎯 How to train your brain for different parts of the day 🎧 Watch the full episode now on More U.
