    I love this podcast. I listened to every single five minute Friday, along with many of her others. I have even emailed her questions, and she was quick to respond. I wish she lived in Houston so that I could see her more regularly and have her do her treatments on me! Highly recommend listening.

  • So informative!

    This podcast is my go-to for skincare education. I have learned so much and am always inspired by the content. Love the short 5 minute Fridays and how no annoying ads. Can’t wait to try Dr. Kay’s skincare line! If you’re not listening to this one, you’re missing out.

    As a physician myself, I started listening to Dr Kay’s podcast to learn about the most up to date cosmetic procedures but WOW!! She always presents the pathophysiology and science behind her recommendations and I truly appreciate that!

  • A perfect respite from political podcasts!

    I stumbled upon Dr.Kay’s podcast, and have been hooked for a few years. She is full of sound advice for anyone seeking to look young & beautiful (everyone, right?)

    With her depth of expertise in everything from daily skin care to nutrition to plastic surgery, I always learn something new.

    Though I’ve never met her, I trust what she says. Her voice is warm, appealing and caring. Always a balm to listen to weekly blasts.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

832: The Full Body Stem Cell Makeover: Curing Chronic Pain with Harry Adelson
Q: What brought you into Longevity and Regenerative Medicine?
Adelson explains his transition from naturopathic roots and prolo therapy to bone marrow and fat stem cells, and eventually birth-tissue products, driven by clinical outcomes and a desire to pursue regenerative approaches for chronic pain and longevity.
828: The Fat Matrix: Reversing Volume Loss and Healing Scars with Dr. Evi Chnari
Q: How does Renuva compare to other fat-related products in terms of application and outcomes?
Renuva provides a structural matrix with minimal adipocytes, enabling host cells to infiltrate and remodel into the patient's own fat; it's best for small-volume, precise delivery and longer-lasting results, whereas fillers or other products may offer more immediate volume.
828: The Fat Matrix: Reversing Volume Loss and Healing Scars with Dr. Evi Chnari
Q: What is Renuva, and how is the tissue sourced and processed to become a fat replacement product?
Renuva is a natural off-the-shelf adipose-derived extracellular matrix; it's produced from full-thickness skin donors, carefully processed to remove cells, genetic material, and lipids while preserving matrix components like collagens and growth factors; it is never irradiated, to maintain tissue integrity.
828: The Fat Matrix: Reversing Volume Loss and Healing Scars with Dr. Evi Chnari
Q: Before we dive into Renuva, can you tell us a little bit about MTF Biologics and its mission?
MTF Biologics is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit tissue bank guided by surgeons, with a board and medical trustees; it focuses on safe donor selection, processing, and advancing tissue transplantation science, with revenue reinvested into research.
826: The Menopause-Gut Connection: Stopping LPS Toxins, Fixing Leaky Gut, and Hacking Aging
Q: Does the act of injections or cosmetic procedures affect the skin microbiome, and what should be done post-procedure?
Procedures that damage the epidermis can perturb the skin microbiome; immediately after such procedures, use reparative agents like beta-glucan creams to control inflammation, then restore microbiome balance with SIB serums, and avoid overuse of antibiotics or harsh cleansers that would further disrupt the barrier.
