  • Wonderful podcast, but caution with vibrating plates

    Dr. Kay’s podcast is wonderful. I always look forward to it. I was enthusiastic about possibly purchasing a vibrating plate after her most recent episode . However when I looked it up online, it is counter indicated for anybody with reactive thrombocytosis/high platelet count. That condition is not as rare as you would think. Mine was a result of a splenectomy during an abdominal tumor surgery resection

    many years ago So beware if you have any sort of hematologic condition.

  • Five star review

    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.

874: The Truth About Exosomes and Korean Skincare: A Cosmetic Chemist's Perspective
Q: What do you think of exosomes in skincare, and why do you think they are so controversial?
Exosomes in cosmetics are controversial because documenting endosomal biogenesis and ensuring live, active cargo is extremely challenging; most brands lack robust evidence, and many claims extrapolate from in vitro data without proper controls or histology to back them up.
870: Fibroblasts, Peptides, and Biological Clocks: Dr. Kay on the LearnSkin Podcast
Q: What does an inside-out and integrative approach look like in practice?
The approach starts with a comprehensive diagnostic, including full-face scanning and lab work, then pairs biological optimization (nutrition, supplements) with appropriate aesthetic procedures to maximize results.
870: Fibroblasts, Peptides, and Biological Clocks: Dr. Kay on the LearnSkin Podcast
Q: How do you approach learning these concepts that aren't always taught in residency?
She emphasizes a commitment to reading, journaling, attending STEM-focused talks, and investing time in researching molecular mechanisms, genetics, and wound healing to stay ahead in a rapidly evolving field.
870: Fibroblasts, Peptides, and Biological Clocks: Dr. Kay on the LearnSkin Podcast
Q: What got you into skin longevity and longevity in general?
Dr. Kay describes a personal drive to understand aging and what actions at various life stages can influence the aging trajectory, along with observing how patients heal differently based on lifestyle and metabolic health.
872: Why Your Peptides Aren't Working: Hair Loss, Stomach Acid, and GHK-Cu Copper Peptides
Q: Can you explain how GHK-Cu actually benefits the skin and hair, and what the evidence says about its efficacy?
GHK-Cu is a fragment that binds copper and participates in tissue repair, wound healing, and collagen/elastin modulation. In trials, many participants reported improvements in several skin metrics, including elasticity and firmness, suggesting meaningful tissue remodeling, though individual results vary and more independent, long-term data is needed.
