I’ve realized aesthetics is not a black-and-white conversation, there is always nuance.
Honestly, I’ve felt super conflicted about it myself because it’s hard not to panic as my face starts to change.
I spend a lot of money on my health, and I’ve spent money on aesthetics, always trying to keep my edge. And it seems everywhere I look, people I know are getting Botox, fillers, lasers, etc, and everyone has an opinion on what works.
The reality is, skin isn’t a surface thing, it’s an expression of what’s happening on the inside. Your skin is a DIRECT reflection of your metabolic health.
The more I learned about the metabolic connection, the harder it became for me to separate skin from overall health. Our every day behaviors are intimately tied to our skin health through stress, blood sugar, mitochondrial health, nutrient status (why I do regular labs, fill in nutrient gaps with supplements and don’t eat potato chips 👋🏼.
My skin now feels less like something to “fix” and more like information about my insides. Of course genetics, time and gravity will inevitably work against us, but we have so much agency beyond going to a medspa.
This doesn’t mean I’m anti-aesthetics. I’m DEFINITELY not — but now I see how much of a personalized conversation this is, it depends on YOUR biology, and it depends on WHO is doing your treatment.
That’s why our conversation with regenerative aesthetics surgeon Dr. Cameron Chesnut feels so important. We got into:
• lasers + regenerative treatments�• Botox culture�• fillers + dissolvers�• fat transfer�• collagen + skin longevity�• the psychology of aging�• where aesthetic medicine may be headed next
This episode genuinely expanded my perspective, and got me really excited for the future of aesthetics.
