It’s been a challenging time for all of us. Shutting down my practice was something I would have never seen coming. But things are looking up, hopefully for all of us.

Not every plastic surgeon practices holistic plastic surgery. But my guest this week does.
Dr. Alexes Hazen is a board-certified plastic surgeon who has made huge changes to her life and how she treats patients. Although she is an Associate Professor of Plastic Surgery at NYULangone Health Center, she encourages her patients to take a more holistic viewpoint in how they take care of themselves.
On this episode, we’ll discuss exactly what holistic plastic surgery means to Dr. Hazen. We’ll reveal what she recommends for eating (such as decreasing gluten!), putting on the skin, advice for getting better sleep, and treatments to turn back the clock. She’ll also tell us why she hasn’t jumped on every holistic health bandwagon, and what criteria she uses to determine what’s good for her and her patients.

“No matter what I do or eat, I seem to gain weight.”
This is a common statement that I hear from so many of my female patients as they enter their 30s, 40s, and 50s. Eating a healthy diet, counting calories, and exercising regularly don’t always seem to cut it. So what is a woman to do?
My guest this week has created a simple program to help women (and men) lose weight and feel great. The keys involve a ketogenic diet, alkaline foods, stress reduction, and paying attention to your hormones. These can all interact to create a beautiful symphony that is an optimally functioning body where the pounds come off and the energy soars.

Although my podcast focuses on holistic health and beauty for adults, occasionally a subject comes up that isn’t one of our usual topics, but I believe strongly must be shared with you.
PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal Infections) and PANS (Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome) are childhood conditions where children develop abrupt changes in behavior caused by the body’s response to an underlying infection or exposure. Previously scoffed at by conventional physicians as being false diagnoses, more and more doctors are realizing that this is a real problem for many children.
On this episode of the Holistic Plastic Surgery Show, I’m joined by an expert in treating PANDAS and PANS using a truly integrative medical approach. We reveal how to tell if your child is suffering from one of these conditions, what treatments can help, and why they are so often misdiagnosed.

Do you suffer from migraines, eczema, brain fog, or unexplained rashes after eating certain foods?
If so, you may be dealing with histamine intolerance. This little-known condition can present in many ways, and unfortunately, most conventionally trained physicians know very little about it.

Are cellphones the cigarettes of the 21st century?
My guest this week believes they are. EMF stands for Electromagnetic Frequencies, and we are being exposed to a greater amount of EMF’s than ever before. So what can these exposures do to our health?
Studies show that excess amounts of EMF’s can cause a myriad of symptoms, including headaches, fatigue, brain fog, and even the early onset of cancer. So why aren’t we more worried about them, especially with the upcoming arrival of 5G and even greater exposures?
My guest, Dr. Joe Mercola, has written a new book about the dangers of EMF called EMF’d.

Do you have a “sugar brain?”
Sugar brain is the term coined by my guest this week, New York Times bestselling author and psychologist Dr. Mike Dow. It describes the actual physical shrinkage that occurs when you eat too much sugar and other unhealthy foods.
Yes, eating too much sugar can actually make your brain smaller!
On this episode of The Holistic Plastic Surgery Show, we dive deep into sugar brain and its connections to how you feel, how your brain functions, and your eating habits. For example, did you know that the food you eat can have major effects on anxiety and depression? Or that such acts as obsessive eating, emotional eating, and binge eating can fuel sugar brain?

Menopause and perimenopause bring with them major changes to the pelvic region, specifically to the vagina. The vaginal walls can thin and atrophy, making intercourse difficult and even painful. There is also an increase in recurrent vaginitis and urinary tract infections. So what causes these changes to occur, and what can you do about them or even prevent them from becoming a problem?
On this episode of The Holistic Plastic Surgery Show, I’m joined by the nation’s first female board certified urogynecologist. She’ll give us the latest information on holistic health of the pelvic region, including why changes in pH and bacteria inside the vagina can create major impacts.

How we eat can be as important as what we eat.
As a society, we are placing less and less emphasis on the timeless tradition of enjoying a good meal with good company. We eat while driving, watching TV, or staring at our phones.
But how does this affect our health, our weight, and our relationships?
My guest this week is a clinical psychologist who has dedicated her career to encouraging the practice of eating mindfully. She’s found in her practice that mindless eating is a major cause of anxiety, weight gain, relationship issues, and even hanger- the combination of hunger and anger that we’ve all experienced at one time or another.
So if you have issues with food, aren’t happy with your family’s mealtime practices, or maybe you’re just tired of being hangry all the time, then this episode is for you.
