Historically speaking, acupuncture has gotten an iffy rap. To an outsider, it’s only fair. After all, acupuncture is a treatment that requires numerous amounts of tiny hair-thin needles that not only poke at you but stay in the body for a generous amount of time. Unpleasant at first glance? Definitely. But when you actually take the plunge, try it for yourself, and understand all the benefits, iffy rap, no more. Acupuncture is miraculous. Who better to back that theory up than New York-based acu...

Jan 31, 2023•56 min•Ep 92•Transcript available on Metacast The Ranch. You’ve likely heard those two words used together before. But for those who haven’t yet delved into the week-long wellness retreat, there’s certainly a mystique around what The Ranch is, how it works, and who you’ll meet there. And, yes, you might just be hiking next to Michelle Obama and not know it. With roots in Malibu, married couple and co-founders, Sue and Alex Glasscock have created a unique experience, full stop. If you ask any of their guests about it (half of which return ti...
Jan 24, 2023•57 min•Ep 91•Transcript available on Metacast When you hear the word ’therapy’ what comes to mind? A traumatic childhood? Depression? Anxiety? For years now, therapy has had a stigma—you must be TROUBLED! Hold on. Let’s de-stigmatize that—therapy is NOT (nor should it be) a dirty word.

Individuals on the show may have a direct, or indirect financial interest in products, or services referred to in this episode. It’s January. That we know to be true. Perhaps you’ve heard of a little thing called “Dry January?” The buzzy trend that’s become a yearly tradition to many, pausing drinking for the time being, a month, at that. As social drinkers ourselves, we tapped a few experts to talk all thin...
Jan 10, 2023•46 min•Ep 89•Transcript available on Metacast Just like the old adage goes, “new year, new us.” The only problem is, who can actually stick to that promise? A new you in the new year is a tall ask. Actually, unrealistic, if not completely unnecessary. Sure, we could all use some self-improvement, but, hey, isn’t life meant to be a work in progress? Who do we think we are trying to re-invent ourselves year after year? Madonna? So, let’s back up for a moment. We have a new proposal for you: "new year, same us (just a little bit better)." Isn’...
Jan 03, 2023•30 min•Ep 88•Transcript available on Metacast It was a year for the books—sartorially (beauty) speaking and beyond. We found ourselves glowing and growing. We tried everything and then some.

This was a hard list to put together and is more edited than ever before. It’s just the absolute best. No fluff. Meet your ultimate end-of-year curation. These are the one’s that made t...
Dec 20, 2022•37 min•Ep 87•Transcript available on Metacast It’s a true art form. Plastic surgery, that is. You could even say a plastic surgeon holds a similar role to that of a magician. In fact, today’s guest has experience in both. It’s simple: you go in one way and come out another—and that’s exactly what attracted Dr. Steven Levine to the aesthetic plastic surgery field to begin with. There’s no grey area. As one of New York City's (and the world’s) finest, he’s perfected his craft to a T and has a keen eye for what makes both women and men look li...
Dec 13, 2022•1 hr 1 min•Ep 86•Transcript available on Metacast An OG influencer, you might know her from The Chriselle Factor. Or maybe you know her from being the #1 fashion expert on YouTube.

Having recently gone through a divorce, she’s found herself embracing strength in vulnerability and turning to community more than ever before. And, she’s not ...
Dec 06, 2022•1 hr 10 min•Ep 85•Transcript available on Metacast She is THE celebrity wellness doctor. And, yes, she was behind the magic that was Adele’s jaw-dropping body transformation. A leader in prevention medicine and aging backwards, Dr. Dominique Fradin-Read’s approach combines her French roots with her current stake on American soil. In fact, she breaks down the main differences between European and American methodologies. Maybe you’ve wondered what ‘HCG’ is or what ‘insulin-resistance’ really means. From lifestyle interventions, such as protein-hea...
Nov 29, 2022•1 hr 8 min•Ep 84•Transcript available on Metacast A 'multi-hyphenate' is a word that gets thrown around a lot—but Katie Sturino defines the very meaning. An entrepreneur, author, body acceptance advocate, and so much more, she’s a true trail blazer in this crazy world we live in.

We had such an interesting conversation about topics our society h...
Nov 22, 2022•1 hr 2 min•Ep 83•Transcript available on Metacast Bobbi Brown. A name synonymous with innovation and entrepreneur. She’s the true queen of “no makeup makeup.” Starting as a makeup artist in the early ‘90s, her approach was unlike anyone before her—embracing natural beauty, practically putting that term on the map. Not only did she make it fashionable to look like your best self, leaning into the idea of “less is more,” but she made it marketable to an industry that was championing bold looks and bright colors, shifting the decade into a more mi...
Nov 15, 2022•45 min•Ep 83•Transcript available on Metacast It’s not everyday we get to sit down with a best-in-class astrologist. In fact, they’re hard to come by.

Nov 08, 2022•54 min•Ep 82•Transcript available on Metacast Being an icon since the ‘90s is a long time to be iconic—and it’s no secret, that most people, no matter how high they've peaked, have difficulty standing the test of time. Simply put, today, our dream became a reality. Victoria Beckham is a woman who needs no introduction. A bit mysterious, completely alluring, and definitively posh, she candidly shares memories from her Spice Girls days that will no doubt put a wide grin on your face. Now, a “mum” to four, running a fashion and beauty house, t...
Nov 01, 2022•51 min•Ep 81•Transcript available on Metacast It wouldn’t be a career worth discussing if there weren’t some turns along the way. Esteemed heart surgeon, Dr. Steven Gundry, was world-famous for his work in the cardiac space. When a patient of his, suffering from heart disease, made dramatic changes to his diet, Dr. Gundry had a light bulb moment and his focus quickly shifted to help those reverse disease and avoid surgery through nutrition. Hundreds of articles and three books later, you could say he’s an expert—not to mention, he’s the dir...
