Beauty is a Bitch Lauren Dimet Waters

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. She believes nutrition is the root cause of the problem of high cholesterol so she created a food as medicine alternative to our "pill for every ill" culture.



Join Lauren and Dr. Klodas as they have an in-depth discussion about: knowing where to begin when it comes to your heart health; what you can do to improve your heart health naturally (without pills); when we should really start taking our heart health seriously; how to improve our diet to help our heart; the motivation behind developing Step One Foods to help heart health and how the products work, how Step One Foods can be used for preventative measures and so much more!

There you are going through life with gorgeous, healthy, thick hair when one day (probably in midlife) you notice it has changed. Many women in midlife experience hair thinning and receding hairlines, yet we really only hear about these issues for men. If you are experiencing hair loss/thinning you are far from alone. But what can you do about it?



Guest Chaz Dean, Celebrity Hairstylist, has been cutting and coloring hair his entire adult life and has revolutionized how people care for their hair. He created WEN Hair & Body (his line of hair care and beauty products) based on the belief that you can get better quality hair by replacing the harsh chemicals and detergents in most other products with natural botanical ingredients to nourish and attain healthy hair and scalp. Chaz expanded his vision internationally through QVC and Guthy-Renker.



Join Lauren and Chaz as they talk all about: the #1 complaint he hears from midlife clients, tips for thinning hair, recommendations for women with long hair and short hair to make it look fuller, what products and tools to avoid if your hair is thinner, his philosophy to his holistic approach to haircare, products Chaz recommends for thinning hair and so much more.

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. Allison Rosenwinkel is the co-founder of HiFi Brands which is a branding and marketing agency. She not only works with AX3 but is also passionate about their product since it has really helped her with her own chronic inflammation.



Join Lauren, David and Allison as they discuss: what exactly inflammation is and how it impacts how we age; what astaxanthin is and how it works to combat chronic inflammation and aging from the inside out; why more people aren't taking it; the specific benefits of astaxanthin for women in midlife who are experiencing changes in their skin; joints and overall health; why women particularly should be taking astaxanthin and how it aligns with embracing natural aging;; and what changes can one expect when taking astaxanthin.
