This episode explores the powerful connection between aesthetic medicine and whole-body wellness. Drawing from decades of experience in plastic surgery, the conversation centers on helping patients align how they look on the outside with how they feel on the inside - without guilt or judgment.

The discussion expands beyond surgery to cover hormones, menopause, microbiome health, inflammation, strength training, and the importance of advocating for yourself in today’s medical system. A major theme is empowering women to question, gather data, and “write their own health story” rather than accepting dismissive answers.

Dr. Diane Alexander and Dr. Cristina Del Toro Badessa dive into their personal wellness journeys, how they got here, and why true wellness goes beyond the surface. From physical health to mental and emotional wellbeing, they’re diving into all aspects of what it really means to feel your best.
