852: Facial Mapping, Vagus Nerve Hacks, and Traditional Chinese Medicine with Dr. Felice Chen
Are you spending a fortune on complex skincare routines but still struggling with acne, inflammation, or dull skin? In this episode of Beauty Bytes, I am joined by Dr. Felice Chen, a doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), neuroscientist, and the co-founder of the holistic skincare brand Moonbow. Dr. Chen bridges the gap between Eastern and Western philosophies, explaining why you can only truly heal your skin when your nervous system feels calm and safe. We discuss the ancient practice of facial mapping, revealing how breakouts on specific areas of your face—like your chin or between your eyes—directly correspond to internal inflammation in organs like the uterus or liver. Dr. Chen also shares actionable holistic advice to help modern audiences calm their chronic fight-or-flight responses. We dive into why you should stop drinking ice water, the specific herbal teas that detox the liver and balance the blood, and how you can manually stimulate your vagus nerve at home without acupuncture needles. If you want to stop fighting your body and start healing it from the root cause, this conversation will completely change your approach to wellness and beauty. Guest Information: Dr. Felice Chen is a Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor and the co-founder of Moonbow.

In this episode of Beauty Bytes, I am joined by Rachel Swanson, a registered dietitian, clinical nutrition expert, and the author of Trying.

848: Hacking Menopause: Microdosing GLP-1s, Creatine, and the Truth About Estrogen
Are you experiencing subtle changes in sleep, mood, or resilience and wondering if it could be perimenopause? In this episode of Beauty Bytes, I am joined by Dr. Jessica Shepherd, a board-certified gynecologist, Chief Medical Officer for Hers, and the author of the new book Generation M. We are completely reframing the conversation around menopause, transforming it from a time of fear into the "magic of midlife".

We also discuss her work at Hers, the benefits of microdosing GLP-1s for weight maintenance and longevity, and the absolute necessity of safe peptide sourcing. Finally, Dr. Shepherd shares the exact advanced labs and supplements—including her personal creatine and hormone stack—that every woman should utilize to optimize her aging trajectory.
