Tox N Talk

Trish & Tami

Tox “N” Talk We’re Trish and Tami, two Family Nurse Practitioners, two MedSpa owners, two very different roads into aesthetics, and absolutely no interest in sugarcoating what happens in this industry. Trish came into aesthetics with a background that already blended beauty and medicine. Before becoming a nurse, she spent more than 15 years as a professional makeup artist, then went on to build a career in Emergency Medicine and flight nursing before becoming a Nurse Practitioner and opening Tranquility Aesthetics & Wellness in Tarpon Springs, Florida. Her approach combines artistry, clinical experience, and a love for helping patients look like themselves, just refreshed. Tami brings more than 20 years of healthcare experience, with a background in cardiology, interventional radiology, and clinical management across neuro, orthopedic, trauma, and step-down care. After transitioning into aesthetics nearly a decade ago, she built her own MedSpa and developed a passion for injectables, lasers, hormones, wellness, and aging well. She is all about science, natural results, and helping people look better without looking “done.” Together, we created Tox “N” Talk — your weekly dose of unfiltered conversation about aesthetics, wellness, injectables, skincare, hormones, lasers, trends, treatments, and everything people are talking about behind the treatment-room door. We’re breaking down what’s actually safe, what’s worth your money, what’s overhyped, what makes us cringe, and what we would never do to our own faces. There will be science. There will be stories. There will definitely be opinions. And there may be a few industry secrets people wish we would keep to ourselves. We’ve worked in emergency rooms, trauma centers, flight nursing, hospital leadership, and yes, even jail medicine, before finding our way into the aesthetic world. Now we’re talking about the good, the bad, and the ugly of aesthetics from the perspective of two women who actually work in it every day. No corporate talking points. No filters. No pretending every new treatment is “game-changing.” Tox_N_Talk_Podcast_Description (1).pdf Just two Nurse Practitioners, two microphones, a lot of experience, and conversations we’re probably supposed to keep inside the treatment room. If you follow injectors, love aesthetics and wellness, are curious about the latest treatments, or simply want to know what’s really happening behind the perfectly filtered Instagram posts, pull up a seat. This is Tox “N” Talk. New episodes weekly

    Ep. 5 - Perimenopause Symptoms & Hormone Therapy: When “Normal” Labs Don’t Feel Normal

    Fatigue, brain fog, irritability, sleep changes, hot flashes, and a drop in libido can leave you wondering: Is this just part of getting older—or could hormones be involved? Trish and Tami talk about perimenopause, menopause, and what it can feel like when symptoms are affecting daily life but initial lab results are called “normal.” They discuss common concerns about hormone replacement therapy, why treatment decisions call for more than a single lab value, and how symptoms, medical history, thyroid function, and other health factors may fit into the bigger picture. They also share why hormone care should be individualized, monitored, and guided by a qualified clinician—and why hormone therapy isn’t the right answer for everyone. The conversation briefly touches on postpartum mental health and the importance of seeking timely professional support when symptoms feel overwhelming. If you’ve been trying to make sense of menopause symptoms or hormone therapy, join Trish and Tami for a candid conversation with clinical perspective and real-life stories.
