    S05E113 Beyond the Basics: Should Athletes Consider Peptide BPC 157? With Guest Marissa Liza

    Peptides have become a hot topic in the fitness and recovery world, but what's the truth behind the hype? In this revealing conversation, special guest Marissa Liza, a licensed acupuncturist @allpointsacu who's been taking the peptide BPC-157 for the past month, explores her firsthand experience and the science behind this trending compound. BPC-157 (Body Protection Compound) is a synthetic peptide derived from a protein found naturally in the stomach. While animal studies suggest promising benefits for tissue repair, inflammation reduction, and even gut health, human clinical research remains limited.  We dig deep into the mechanisms that make BPC-157 potentially valuable for athletes and anyone dealing with nagging injuries – from its ability to stimulate angiogenesis (new blood vessel formation) to its potential role in accelerating recovery. We also discuss important concerns, including its regulatory status, safety considerations, and the quality control issues that come with any unregulated compound. Whether you're an athlete looking for an edge in recovery, someone dealing with chronic pain, or simply curious about cutting-edge wellness approaches, this conversation offers valuable perspectives on the risk-benefit analysis of peptide therapy.  #BPC157 #Peptides #Recovery #Wellness #FitnessJourney #PerformanceEnhancement #Acupuncture #Healing #Biohacking #HealthAndWellness #BotoxAndBurpees #MedicalPodcast #PlasticSurgery @botoxandburpeespodcast

    S05E112 The Price of Beauty: Tragic Lessons from Ana Bárbara Buhr Buldrini's Case with Guest Dr. Lawrence Tong

    In this episode of Botox and Burpees, host Sam Rhee invites Dr. Lawrence Tong, a renowned plastic surgeon from Toronto, to discuss the tragic passing of 31-year-old Brazilian influencer Ana Bárbara Buhr Buldrini @anabmusi following cosmetic surgeries traveling from Mozambique to Istanbul, Turkey.  They explore how the transactional nature of trading surgical procedures for social media exposure potentially compromised standard safety protocols from allegedly partying with the surgeon before surgery to operating late at night and possibly ignoring basic safety measures like NPO status. The conversation delves deep into what makes cosmetic surgery safe – proper patient preparation, medication disclosure, facility standards, and the risks of multiple procedures. Both surgeons emphasize that while excellent doctors exist worldwide, patients must conduct thorough due diligence when seeking treatment abroad. Whether you're considering cosmetic surgery at home or abroad, this episode provides vital information to help you make informed decisions that prioritize safety over cost. Remember - if a surgical deal seems too good to be true, corners are likely being cut somewhere, and the price may ultimately be your safety. #BotoxAndBurpees #MedicalPodcast #PlasticSurgery #PatientSafety #MedicalTourism #SurgerySafety #CosmeticSurgery #HealthAndWellness #PlasticSurgeons #SurgeryStories @botoxandburpeespodcast

    S05E111 Two Plastic Surgeons' Guide to the Best Sunscreen Choices - with Guest Dr. Lawrence Tong

    The battle against premature aging begins with a single, crucial step—applying sunscreen daily. But with countless options flooding the market, how do you select one that's not only effective but also something you'll actually use consistently? Two seasoned plastic surgeons, Dr. Sam Rhee and Dr. Lawrence Tong @yorkvilleplasticsurgery, cut through the noise with clarity that only comes from years of treating facial aging. Unlike many "dermatologist-recommended" lists that rarely consider practical usability, these surgeons deliver straightforward guidance grounded in both science and real-world application. We dive deep into the differences between mineral and chemical sunscreens, exploring how UVA rays (the aging culprits) penetrate clouds and glass, silently damaging your skin even on overcast days or during your daily commute. As Dr. Tong soberly notes, "Once you get beyond a certain amount of sun damage, you cannot reverse that. No surgery, no lasers, no creams, no peels can fix that." Beyond reviewing traditional favorites like La Roche-Posay and Elta MD, the conversation ventures into emerging alternatives from Asian and European markets that utilize advanced UV filters without the endocrine-disrupting concerns of conventional chemical options. These innovative formulations promise the cosmetic elegance people crave without compromising protection or environmental safety. The best sunscreen is simply the one you'll use consistently. Whether you're bothered by white cast, concerned about chemical absorption, or seeking something that works seamlessly under makeup, this comprehensive guide helps you navigate options aligned with your personal priorities. Ready to transform your relationship with sun protection? Listen now to discover how this small daily habit creates profound long-term benefits for your skin's health and appearance. #SPF #Sunscreen #SkinCare #SunProtection #PlasticSurgery #HealthySkin #AgingGracefully #BeautyTips #UVProtection #DailySunscreen #PerformanceEnhancement #HealthyLiving #GymLife #CrossFit #SportsNutrition #FitnessJourney #BotoxAndBurpees #podcast @botoxandburpeespodcast

    There are friendships that defy expectations—bonds between people who, on paper, shouldn't connect. Yet these unexpected relationships often teach us the most profound lessons. My friendship with Stephen Rice was exactly that kind of connection. Steve passed away on April 8, 2025, after suffering an unexpected stroke. Though we primarily knew each other from CrossFit Bison, rarely seeing each other outside the gym, we shared one extraordinary experience that exemplified who Steve truly was. This remembrance isn't just about grief—it's about celebrating a remarkable human being through the lens of our unlikely friendship. #InMemoryOfSteve #FriendshipTribute #CrossFitCommunity #LegacyOfLove #GoneButNotForgotten #CelebrateLife #CherishedMemories #InspirationalStories #FitnessFamily #HeartfeltTribute @asburyparksummergames #BotoxAndBurpees @crossfittraining @crossfit @crossfitgames #crossfit #sports #exercise #health #movement #crossfitcoach #agoq #clean #fitness #ItAllStartsHere #CrossFitOpen #CrossFit #CrossFitCommunity #apgames
