  • 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.

844: The Year of the Mitochondria: Peptides, Gut Health, and Reversing the Aging Clock with Dr. Steven Murphy
Q: Which therapies or interventions show real promise for longevity beyond symptom relief?
The guest highlights mitochondrial-targeted peptides, GLP-1s for longevity-related benefits beyond weight loss, rapamycin in pulse regimens for aging, and emerging cellular programming/transcriptomics as future directions while warning about safety and regulation in new therapies.
844: The Year of the Mitochondria: Peptides, Gut Health, and Reversing the Aging Clock with Dr. Steven Murphy
Q: How would you describe the work that you do and how did it cross over into longevity medicine?
Dr. Murphy explains that longevity medicine emerged from a genetics-informed approach to disease risk, recognizing that aging is accelerated in those with underlying mitochondrial dysfunction and that baseline genomic and mitochondrial profiling can guide personalized interventions.
842: The Cure for Filler Fatigue: Enzymatic Bioremodeling with Ario Khoshbin
Q: What exactly are enzymatic bioremodelers and how do they work in the context of aesthetics?
They are combinations of naturally occurring enzymes that target old filler, scar tissue, and aged collagen, gradually breaking down undesirable tissue and stimulating natural regeneration of collagen and elastin to improve skin quality.
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.
