How Arrae Co-Founder Siff Haider Approached Postpartum Recovery
Today I'm joined by Siff Haider, co-founder of Arrae, host of the Dream Bigger podcast, and new mom. We discuss why she went back to work 10 days after giving birth and how prioritizing her recovery made that possible. Then we get into one of my favorite topics: supplements. Siff shares how she got into the business, her top three to take, and the importance of creatine. We finish with beauty and postpartum skin: pregnancy eczema, whether you can use retinol while breastfeeding, how peptides and azelaic acid can fill in when you can't use retinol, and treatments we both love, like microneedling with PRP.

When Perfection Becomes a Problem with Kayla Nicole
This week I'm joined by Kayla Nicole–media personality and sports journalist–to talk about how her wellness approach has changed. We get into her lifelong struggle with eczema and acne, and why she wants to dissolve her lip filler. We discuss what longevity means to her and dig into the dangers of black-market GLP-1s and peptides. She opens up about the beauty standards she was under while doing pageants and being a wellness influencer–and why she’s stepped back from tracking every calorie. I also give her advice on her skincare routine, why I think vibration plates aren’t worth it, the benefits of red light, and the best lab tests to take for your health!

Struggling with Adult Acne? Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi Thinks It Might Be Hormonal
Today we’re speaking with Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi, one of the most well-known OBGYNs in the country, to talk about everything I see overlap between her world and mine. We get into adult acne and how often it's undiagnosed PMOS (the updated term for PCOS), the labs she runs that most doctors skip, and why insulin resistance is often the root cause. We also cover her honest take on GLP-1s and birth control–and she lets us know when it's time to talk to your doctor about perimenopause and HRT. We close on something close to her heart: her own breast cancer diagnosis and why knowing your lifetime risk matters more than family history alone.

Vanessa Lee on What Korea Gets Right and Wrong About Aesthetics
Today I'm joined by Vanessa Lee of The Things We Do–this conversation is one I've wanted to have since we first DMed each other back in 2019! Vanessa coined the term "facial balancing" in 2017 and today we get into what that actually means and how to vet a med spa or injector. We also dig into "perception drift," what AI beauty plans are missing, and how to think about augmentation versus honoring your own heritage and features. Then we go all in on Korean aesthetics: what's actually worth flying to Seoul for, what to skip (salmon sperm PDRN, we're looking at you), and the wellness pharmacy trend taking over. We close out talking regenerative aesthetics, her BioGlow protocol combining Sculptra and PRFM, and why the slow biostimulator crawl is quietly the future of this industry. Want more from Vanessa?

Today Botched star and board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Terry Dubrow joins me for a conversation every skincare and facelift patient needs to hear. We break down the exact dermatologic roadmap to prep your skin before a facelift, why Dr. Dubrow tells patients to delay surgery as long as possible, and the biggest red flags to look for when choosing a plastic surgeon. We also dive into something we’re all noticing: skin laxity after GLP-1 weight loss. Dr. Dubrow shares his experience with GLP-1’s and how to be patient with your skin after losing weight.

Your Questions Answered: Filler Migration, Lasers, and The Truth About Sofwave
We're halfway through season two, so it's time for a Q&A! I brought in some Dear Media employees to ask their most pressing derm questions, plus answered what you sent me on Instagram. We cover a lot: whether Sofwave is actually worth the money, how I approach dissolving and refilling old or migrated filler, my go-to protocol for baby Botox and why less is more, how to prep your skin in your late 20s and early 30s, and whether Sculptra or radiofrequency will mess with a future facelift. I also break down what vibration plates are and if they’re worth it, where to start if you've never tried a laser, and some of my favorite affordable exfoliators and red light devices. We’re taking the next two weeks off! We’ll be back on August 19th. // MORE FROM DR. SHEILA FARHANG // Follow on Instagram @dr.sheila_derm, @avantdermatology, @dermapproved.

What Susan Yara Asked Before Her Tummy Tuck, Nose Job, and Fat Transfer
Susan Yara joins me to talk about peptides, plastic surgery, and when she knew she was hitting her peak as an influencer. You may know her from her YouTube channel, Mixed Makeup, or from Naturium, the brand she built and sold to e.l.f. Cosmetics for $355 million in 2023. She gets real about what it took to sell the brand and what happened after the acquisition. We also dive into what she's had done–a nose job, fat transfer, and a tummy tuck–and what she wishes she knew before the surgeries.
