Let’s chat with one of my favorite people, Dr. Chris English. He’s a dermatologist at Alta View in Sandy.

Dr. English is very practical. I wanted to see if his skincare routine has any bells or whistles. Unsurprisingly, it doesn’t 😀. But he does use the highest strength of tretinoin, which is strong for this dry Utah climate. I usually start patients out at the lowest strength, then the middle strength, and I usually stop there because I don’t want to push my luck (tretinoin is a retinoid that can be really drying), but I might try to work my way up and see if I can get up to that highest strength.

What is actually causing the hair loss with GLP-1s?!?! Can we prevent it?

and are making me think it’s not just the rapid weight loss that is the trigger, and it may have a lot to do with the fact that people are starving themselves of calories, protein, and nutrients. Our bodies (and hair) need those building blocks.

This paradigm shift is changing the way I counsel patients with this problem and, who knows, maybe if we focus on optimizing nutrition we can prevent some of this hair loss? One can hope.

🚨 **Watch to the end to see why she’s getting all these black dots after her laser treatment…**

Let’s be honest. You want smoother, more youthful-looking skin, but the intense downtime of traditional CO2 resurfacing completely scares you. Am I right?

Enter **MultiFrax**—the next-level laser technology that gets you the results without the week-long hiding game.

Why is this a game-changer?
✨ **More powerful** than Fraxel, Moxi, or Clear + Brilliant.
✨ **Simultaneous wavelengths:** It fires two power wavelengths *at the exact same time* (no other laser does this).
✨ **Minimal downtime:** Those little micro-dots (called MENDs) just look like a light tan and flake off in a few days.
✨ **Summer safe:** Safe to treat all year round.

**BIG NEWS:** I’m launching my exclusive **Toxin + Tone** campaign very soon. You’ll see just how easy—and affordable—it is to completely reset your skin.

📲 **Drop the word “Laser” in the comments** if you want more info about MultiFrax or if you want to be the first to get early access to the campaign pricing!

Each laser wavelength has its own target in the skin. One of my favorite targets is unwanted blood vessels. Once you start looking for them, you see them everywhere.

Losing weight AND hair-HELP!!!

Seeing clumps of hair in the drain while on Ozempic or Mounjaro is alarming, but it’s often a physiological response called Telogen Effluvium, not a direct side effect of the drug itself.

I’m excited to join forces with weight loss specialist Dr. Rees Checketts () to tackle the intersection of metabolic medicine and skin health. We’re going to debunk the myths and give you a science-backed roadmap to losing the weight while keeping your hair.

Are you experiencing shedding on your weight loss journey? Drop a ✋ in the comments and we’ll answer your top questions in our next video.
