In this episode of The Confidence Doc, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Rukmini (Vinaya) Rednam sits down with Dr. Natalya Borakowski, a naturopathic physician and aesthetic expert known for her holistic approach to skin health, confidence, and aging.

Dr. Borakowski shares her unexpected journey into the beauty and medical fields, from working in cosmetics to becoming a physician focused on helping women feel confident both inside and out.

Together they explore the psychology behind aging, why many women experience a sudden shift in identity in midlife, and the importance of ethical decision-making in aesthetic medicine.

• Why many women feel like they aged overnight
• The psychology behind beauty and identity
• Why Botox may be the most misunderstood treatment in aesthetics
