    Everything You Need to Know About Gut Health | Dr. Veronika Gagovic

    Your gut health affects more than just digestion—but how much of what we hear about it is actually supported by science? Dr. Thomas Romo and Dr. Alexandra Filingeri are joined by gastroenterologist Dr. Veronika Gagovic for an in-depth conversation about digestive health, common gastrointestinal conditions, and the importance of understanding what's happening inside your body. Dr. Gagovic explains acid reflux, how GLP-1 medications can affect digestion, the causes of stomach ulcers, and when persistent symptoms may require further medical evaluation. They also discuss irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), the gut-brain connection, the microbiome, and what people should understand about the increasingly popular term “leaky gut.” The conversation also explores the rise in colorectal cancer among younger adults, when to begin colon cancer screening, and the differences between colonoscopies and alternative screening tests. Plus, they break down the importance of dietary fiber, fermented foods, and practical ways to support digestive health. With so much information circulating about gut health, Dr. Gagovic helps separate common misconceptions from medical evidence while emphasizing the importance of proper diagnosis, individualized care, and recognizing symptoms that shouldn't be ignored.

    The Nutrition Trends Taking Over Social Media

    What do pickle-flavored Cheetos, celebrity diets, AI calorie trackers, and seed oils have in common? They’re all part of the constantly changing conversation around food, nutrition, and health. Dr. Thomas Romo and Dr. Alexandra Filingeri are back for another cultural hot topics episode of We Got Your Number, taking a closer look at some of the trends and headlines shaping the way people think about what they eat. They discuss the pickle craze taking over Gen Z, the role social media plays in making certain foods go viral, and how conditions like Alpha-gal can completely change someone’s approach to nutrition. They also examine restrictive celebrity diets, the pressure to achieve extreme thinness, and why copying the eating habits of someone you see online may not tell you the whole story. The conversation also explores AI-powered calorie tracking, different approaches to monitoring nutrition, the debate around what parents should feed their children, and why fear surrounding individual ingredients can sometimes distract us from the bigger picture. With nutrition advice coming at us constantly, Dr. Romo and Dr. Filingeri bring the conversation back to something much simpler: context matters, extremes can be harmful, and healthy eating doesn’t need to become unnecessarily complicated.

    Dr Todd | GLP-1s, Peptides, Botox & the Business of Med Spas

    The med spa industry has changed dramatically—but has the medicine kept up? Dr. Thomas Romo and Dr. Alexandra Filingeri sit down with Dr. Todd to examine the rapid growth of medical aesthetics and the expanding world of med spas, longevity treatments, GLP-1 medications, peptides, hormone therapy, and other increasingly popular treatments. Dr. Todd shares his perspective after decades in medical aesthetics, including his experience using Botox before it became a cosmetic treatment. Together, they discuss what can happen when treatments expand faster than the training, evidence, and medical oversight needed to provide them safely. The conversation also explores GLP-1 medications and the importance of proper nutritional guidance, rapid weight loss and changes in body composition, social media’s influence on cosmetic trends, unregulated peptides, complications in the med spa industry, and why the person providing a treatment can matter just as much as the treatment itself. They also take a closer look at younger people turning to hormones and performance-enhancing substances, the rise of “looksmaxxing,” and the growing concern around people using social media to learn how to perform medical procedures themselves. As aesthetics and longevity continue to grow, this conversation is a reminder to ask important questions: Who is providing your treatment? What is their training? What evidence supports it? And who is overseeing your care?
