In this episode, Dr. Anthony Youn brings his go-to medical esthetician, Sarah Landmesser, into the studio for a fun (and surprisingly honest) game: rating today’s most talked-about skincare treatments and trends on a scale of 1–10. They go rapid-fire through everything from red light masks, dry brushing, and “lunchtime” peels to the heavy-hitters like moderate-depth chemical peels, in-office microneedling, RF microneedling (Morpheus8), fillers, Sculptra, and Botox. They also call out a few viral fads—like beef tallow creams, microcurrent devices, detox foot pads, and CoolSculpting—sharing what’s worth your money, what’s overhyped, and what can actually backfire. If you’ve ever wondered “Should I try this?” or “Is this legit or just TikTok hype?”—this episode will help you sort the skincare noise from the treatments that truly deliver. 🔗 Links and Resources: ➡️ Branch Basics cleaning products are safe for your children, pets, and home.

Allergies are more than just springtime sniffles—and they’re affecting more people than ever. In this episode, Dr. Anthony Youn sits down with pediatric allergist and immunologist Dr. Zachary Rubin, author of All About Allergies, to break down what’s really going on in your immune system and what actually helps. You’ll learn why hay fever is getting worse (and why climate change plays a role), the “3 pillars” approach to treating allergic rhinitis, when allergy shots make sense, and why blanket food allergy testing can do more harm than good. Plus, Dr. Rubin unpacks surprising—and very real—conditions like alpha-gal syndrome (a tick bite that can trigger a red meat allergy), aquagenic urticaria (hives from water), and why so many people mistakenly think they’re allergic to penicillin. Practical, evidence-based, and packed with takeaways you can use right away—especially if allergies are disrupting your life or your family’s. 🔗 Links and Resources: Dr. Rubin’s All About Allergies book: https://amzn.to/4jygDjO Our Sponsors: ➡️ Check out BON CHARGE's Red Light Mask to support collagen production and improve your skin!

Weight loss isn’t just about willpower—and in this episode, Dr. Anthony Youn gets real about why with obesity medicine specialist Dr. Spencer Nadolsky, founder of Vineyard Health. Together, they unpack the messy, misunderstood reality of weight gain, from genetics and environment to why the traditional healthcare system often fails people trying to lose weight. Dr. Nadolsky breaks down how GLP-1 medications like Wegovy actually work, who they help most, and why they’re not the “easy way out” they’re often made out to be. They also tackle the big questions people are afraid to ask:Will these medications cause muscle loss?Do you have to stay on them forever?What happens if you stop? Most importantly, Dr. Nadolsky explains why sustainable weight loss requires more than a prescription—combining medication with nutrition, strength training, lifestyle changes, and real coaching support. If you’re confused by the headlines, skeptical of quick fixes, or frustrated by years of conflicting advice, this episode cuts through the noise with clarity, compassion, and practical insight into where obesity treatment is headed next. 🔗 Links and Resources: 🚨 Check out BON CHARGE's Red Light Mask to support collagen production and improve your skin!
