Nutritional supplements are a controversial topic in medicine. Many doctors believe there is no benefit to taking supplements, and you’re paying money to basically make expensive pee. Many holistic health practitioners disagree. So what does science say?
On this episode of The Holistic Plastic Surgery Show, I’m getting to the bottom of anti-aging nutritional supplements. Do they work? Will they actually help your skin to look younger? And if so, what nutritional supplements do I recommend?
I’ll give you the straight scoop on which nutritional supplements you should consider taking, and where you can get them.

What’s the difference between functional medicine and conventional medicine?
While conventional medicine focuses on interventions, such as medications and surgery, to tackle acute and chronic medical issues, functional medicine is focused on finding the underlying root causes of illness. A relatively new field that is practiced by physicians, nurse practitioners, chiropractors, naturopaths, and others, functional medicine often combines dietary and lifestyle changes to enact profound improvements in health.
So how can functional medicine help you optimize your hormones?
On this episode of The Holistic Plastic Surgery Show, I’m joined by the author of Your Longevity Blueprint, a guide to optimal health, specifically hormone health, which focuses on the principles of functional medicine.

Thyroid disease is a major issue in the United States. An estimated 20 million Americans suffer from thyroid disease, and up to 60% of them are unaware that they even have it.
Traditionally physicians have treated thyroid disease using medications, radioactive iodine, and even surgery. But scientists and doctors are now finding that the key to thyroid health just might lie in a simple chemical – iodine!
In this episode of The Holistic Plastic Surgery Show, I’m joined by one of the country’s most prominent naturopathic endocrinologists who has just written a book called “The Thyroid Reset Diet.” He’s discovered that the key to thyroid health- whether you are hypothyroid, have Hashimoto’s, or other thyroid issues- lies in your exposure to iodine.

I decided to change things up a little bit on this week’s episode of The Holistic Plastic Surgery Show. Instead of a traditional style interview, I thought it’d be fun to play a game of Would You Rather with a dermatologist friend of mine.

To answer all these questions, I’ve asked a local pulmonologist / critical care physician to join me on the podcast today.
