I'd Like To Thank Myself
We thank everyone else for our success... friends, team, mentors. But when’s the last time you thanked the only person who actually dragged you through hell and back? YourSELF. This show is my love letter to the version of you who doesn’t get enough credit. The you who kept going when it would’ve been easier to quit. I’m pulling back the curtain on what it actually looks like to be 48, building a skincare company, navigating perimenopause, raising a teenager, and refusing to become invisible. The stuff nobody talks about after 40. And how I’m rewriting all of it. So...
My Entire Day of Eating + Supplements at 49: NAD/NMN, Methylene Blue + More
This is my entire day of eating and every supplement I take at 49, from the first thing I take on an empty stomach to the once-a-month one most people have never heard of. NAD and NMN, methylene blue, creatine, collagen, magnesium, and what I actually eat for breakfast, lunch and dinner. For anyone who has no idea which supplements are worth it and which ones might just be expensive pee.

My Face Looks Better at 48 Than It Did at 38. Here’s What I Did.
This is my personal experience, not medical advice. I'm not a doctor, and I don't even play one on the internet. The GLP-1 I take is prescribed and monitored by my doctor, and using it for my skin is off-label. If you're curious about a GLP-1, what I'd do is work with your doctor, get your labs run, and build a plan with your provider. I don't sell any medication, and I won't tell you where to buy one.
Most women on GLP-1s are terrified of Ozempic face. The 3-step Collagen Defense system I built BEFORE...

Why I Quit Under-Eye Filler (And What I Do at 49 Instead)
Under-eye filler was the wrong fix for almost everything I was actually trying to fix, and I found that out after years and a stupid amount of money spent on my own face. What most people call under-eye aging is really five completely different problems, hollowing, darkness, crepey skin, fine lines, and true bags, and filler is only built for one of them. This is exactly what I do instead now, and how to figure out which under-eye problem is actually yours before you spend a dollar.

10 Things My Doctor Never Told Me About Testosterone At 48
Testosterone is the most abundant active sex hormone in a woman's body, and almost nobody tells you what low testosterone does to women in perimenopause and menopause. When I asked my doctor about testosterone for women, he laughed in my face and told me to lift weights. Like I'd asked for a pony instead of a hormone. I lost two years to that laugh. Then I found a doctor who didn't laugh, and the right testosterone protocol gave me back my sleep, my sex drive, my energy, and my face.
