What does it mean to love the body you have while still wanting to change it?

From the physical changes that come with motherhood to the complicated decision to get breast implants, Schuyler Grant, Dr. Robin Berzin, and Dr. Mary Pardee have an honest conversation about body image, beauty standards, and the emotional weight of altering our bodies.

Can we hold space for both self-acceptance and the desire for change?

Could your breast implants be making you sick without you realizing it?

Headaches, chronic fatigue, brain fog, joint pain, and immune issues are just some of the symptoms women have reported in connection with breast implant illness (BII).

Dr. Robin Berzin shares the story of a patient who struggled with migraines for over a decade. After years of unsuccessful treatments, she decided to have her breast implants removed. Her migraines disappeared.

How much do we really know about the long-term effects of breast implants?

Joining the conversation, breast explant surgeon Dr. John Kanevsky shares why he stopped placing breast implants altogether, citing concerns about complication rates.

At the end of the day, it’s about giving women the knowledge to make the best decisions for their own bodies.

You can eat all the right foods, exercise, and obsess over your blood sugar... but what about the stress that’s wreaking havoc on your body?

After wearing a continuous glucose monitor (CGM) during a family emergency, Schuyler saw firsthand just how dramatically stress can affect the body.

Dr. Robin Berzin sees tools like CGMs as a way to better understand what’s happening inside our bodies, including how everyday stress affects our metabolic health.

Dr. Mary Pardee pushes back. For otherwise healthy people, she questions whether constantly tracking glucose actually improves long-term health or just gives us another number to obsess over.

So where’s the line between useful health information and unnecessary monitoring?

What’s your take? Are CGMs a useful tool for understanding your health, or is all this tracking doing more harm than good?

Is intermittent fasting actually doing something special for your metabolism? Or is it just another way to eat fewer calories?

Dr. Robin Berzin and Dr. Mary Pardee have different opinions on this one.

Robin sees intermittent fasting as a useful tool for improving metabolic flexibility, beyond just weight loss. Mary argues that the benefits are overhyped, and when it comes to losing weight, it’s really about the calories you’re consuming.

This is exactly why a little healthy disagreement is a good thing. Even doctors looking at the same research can come away with different interpretations of what actually works.

Where do you land? Have you tried intermittent fasting? Did you notice benefits beyond weight loss, or do you think it’s gotten a little too much hype?

We have medications to help men get erections. But when women struggle with desire? That conversation gets a whole lot more complicated.

Here's something you might not know: there are actually FDA-approved medications for low sexual desire in women. They work differently from drugs like Vi**ra because female desire involves the brain, not just the body.

For our first episode of Season 3 of the Luminescence Podcast, Dr. Somi Javaid calls in to talk about the science of desire, the treatments available, and why women's sexual health deserves a lot more attention.

Women are so used to being the ones who hold everything together. Our families, our work, our communities. Somewhere in there, it’s pretty easy to put ourselves at the bottom of the list.

So having Maria Shriver join us at Luminescence LA feels especially meaningful.

Maria has spent decades pushing women’s health into conversations where it was too often missing, especially when it comes to the brain and how women age. And on October 17, she’ll be bringing that work, curiosity, and perspective to the Luminescence stage.

A room full of women. Some of the brightest minds in women’s health. And Maria Shriver in the middle of the conversation. We genuinely cannot wait for this one.

“Women are not small men.”

It sounds obvious. But for a very long time, a lot of what we’ve been told about exercise, nutrition, recovery, and health has been based on research done primarily on men and then applied to women.

Dr. Stacy Sims has spent her career asking: what changes when we study women?

At Luminescence LA, she’s joining us to talk about strength, longevity, and how we can work with our physiology as we get older, so we can keep feeling strong and doing the things we love for decades to come.

Perimenopause gets talked about like it’s something we just have to survive until we make it to the other side. But we’re looking at it from another angle.

Menopause is an opportunity to start paying attention to what your body needs now, and set yourself up for what will feel good for years to come.

At Luminescence LA, Dr. Amy Killen is joining us to talk about hormones, bust some of the myths we’ve been carrying around, and help us understand what we can actually do with this window.

There’s a whole lot of life on the other side of “what is happening to me?”

There’s a lot of talk about what women lose as we get older. But what about the things we gain?

Knowing your body well enough to advocate for yourself at the doctor. Giving less of a f*ck about what everyone else thinks. Getting better at saying no without writing a three-paragraph apology. Understanding what actually makes you feel good, and giving yourself permission to want more of it.

That’s the energy we’re bringing to Luminescence LA.

On October 17, Schuyler Grant will host a room full of brilliant women, big conversations, and a very different way of thinking about what it means to get older.

There’s so much still ahead of us.
