You lost the weight. But what happens to your body after the weight comes off?

On this episode of More U, Dom and Dr. Benjamin Caughlin sit down with body surgeon Dr. Eric Anderson to talk about the side of GLP-1 weight loss that many people may not think about: what happens AFTER major weight loss.

From loose skin and body contouring to tummy tucks, breast lifts, liposuction, fat transfer, and the evolving role of plastic surgery after GLP-1 medications, Dr. Anderson breaks down what patients should understand before and after their weight-loss journey.

The conversation also goes beyond surgery.

Dr. Eric Anderson explains why liposuction is NOT a weight-loss procedure, why “shape over size” is central to his philosophy, what actually contributes to a successful BBL, and why natural-looking results are becoming increasingly important.

Dom, Ben, and Eric also get into something surgeons rarely talk about: the business of being a modern plastic surgeon. From Instagram and TikTok to authenticity, personal branding, and the pressure to constantly create content, they discuss why social media can sometimes feel harder than surgery itself.

And of course, there’s plenty of More U banter along the way.

🔥 In this episode:

• What happens to excess skin after GLP-1 weight loss
• Why major weight loss can lead to body contouring surgery
• What patients should know before losing significant weight
• Loose skin after losing 30+ pounds
• Tummy tucks, breast lifts and post-weight-loss surgery
• Why liposuction is NOT weight-loss surgery
• What actually makes a BBL successful
• The “skinny BBL” and a more conservative approach
• Why shape matters more than size
• Fat transfer and how much fat actually survives
• Natural-looking plastic surgery and the Chicago aesthetic
• Why surgeons need to learn social media
• Authenticity and personal branding for plastic surgeons
• Managing patient expectations
• When a surgeon should say NO to a patient
• The future of body contouring and skin-tightening technology

If you've lost significant weight with a GLP-1, bariatric surgery, diet and exercise—or you're considering body contouring after weight loss—this conversation is for you.

What actually makes someone a great leader?

Is it a title? Experience? Charisma? The ability to make decisions?

Or is leadership something much deeper?

In this episode of More U, Dom and Dr. Caughlin sit down with Dhara Mistry, an executive coach who helps leaders discover their own leadership identity, clarify their purpose, and develop the skills needed to lead authentically.

Dhara challenges the idea that leadership is something you can simply copy and paste from another successful CEO. Instead, she introduces her Leadership Operating System, built around identity, core values, executive presence, practical application, and continuous growth.

The conversation explores why some high-performing professionals struggle after becoming managers, why not everyone is meant to manage people, and why leadership isn't necessarily about having all the answers.

Dhara also explains why psychological safety, honesty, communication, vulnerability, and authenticity can have a major impact on company culture—and why today's employees can quickly recognize when a leader is simply putting on a performance.

And she leaves listeners with a powerful challenge: identify your North Star, understand your core values, and make sure the way you're spending your time actually reflects what you say matters to you.

In this episode:

👥 What does an executive coach actually do?
🎯 Finding your leadership North Star
🧠 Building your Leadership Operating System
💬 Why communication is a hard skill
🔥 Authentic vs. copy-paste leadership
📈 Why high performers struggle after promotion
🤝 Leadership vs. management
⚡ Why not everyone is meant to lead people
🗣️ Executive presence & influence
❤️ Psychological safety and trust
💡 Finding your leadership superpower
🚀 How to become a more authentic leader

Why are people having less sex, struggling to date, and finding it harder to build meaningful relationships?

In this episode of More U, Dom and Dr. Ben sit down with Jenn Pinkerton, a relationship and sex expert, to unpack what is happening to modern dating, intimacy, and human connection.

The conversation begins with a surprising trend: sexual activity has been declining across multiple age groups, including younger adults and married couples. Jenn explains why she believes emotional safety and connection are at the center of a thriving relationship and sex life. 

From dating apps and instant gratification to unrealistic expectations, emotional vulnerability, porn, sex robots, and the pressure to find the “perfect” partner, this conversation asks whether modern relationships have become too transactional—and whether we're losing the ability to slow down and actually connect. 

Jenn also explains the difference between spontaneous and responsive desire, why communication matters so much in sex, why couples sometimes need to intentionally schedule intimacy, and why being present in your body can completely change your sexual experience.  

And the conversation goes somewhere even bigger: What happens to human connection as technology continues to replace real-world interaction?

In this episode:

❤️ Why emotional safety is essential for intimacy
 📱 How dating apps changed relationships
 💬 Why communication is the foundation of great sex
 🔥 Spontaneous vs. responsive desire
 💑 Can couples have a great relationship without having sex?
 🛏️ Should couples sleep in separate bedrooms?
 📅 Can scheduling sex actually help your relationship?
 🔞 How pornography can affect expectations and connection
 🤖 Sex robots, AI & the future of intimacy
 💔 Why relationships can survive infidelity
 ❤️ How to build deeper connection and intimacy
 🎯 Why you shouldn't judge a relationship after one date

What if the problem isn't that you're too stressed—but that your brain never gets the chance to recover?

In this episode of More U, Dom and Dr. Ben sit down with Dr. Patrick K. Porter, founder and CEO of BrainTap, for a rapid-fire conversation about brain health, stress, sleep, neuroplasticity, nervous-system regulation, and human performance. 

Patrick explains why recovery is just as important as exertion, how chronic stress can affect the brain, why deep sleep matters, and how light, breathwork, meditation, and brainwave entrainment may influence the nervous system. 

The conversation also explores BrainTap, a technology that uses synchronized light, sound, and vibration to help train different brain states. Patrick explains how it is used for stress, sleep, recovery, mental preparation, and performance. 

They also get into some fascinating—and controversial—ideas about pain, sleep, circadian rhythm, jet lag, breathwork, heart-rate variability, productivity, and why sometimes doing less and recovering better can actually make you more productive. 

In this episode:

🧠 How stress affects the brain
 😴 Why sleep is critical for brain recovery
 💡 Why light may be more important than you think
 🌬️ Breathwork & nervous-system regulation
 ⚡ How brainwave entrainment works
 🧠 Neuroplasticity and training the brain

Peptides are everywhere—but how much do we actually know about them?

In this episode of More U, Dom and Dr. Ben sit down with Dr. Eliza M. Parker, an aesthetic medicine physician and longtime student of wellness, longevity, and peptide therapies, for an honest conversation about one of the fastest-growing areas in modern medicine.

Dr. Parker breaks down what peptides are, how they work, where they may have a role in aesthetic medicine, and why patients need to be extremely careful about where these products come from and who is prescribing them. 

The conversation goes far beyond the hype.

They discuss peptide protocols around aesthetic procedures, GLP-1 medications, growth hormone-related peptides, compounding pharmacies, lab testing, personalized medicine, and the dangers of self-diagnosing or buying peptides online without proper medical oversight.  

And Eliza makes one thing very clear: peptides aren't magic. Sleep, nutrition, exercise, and doing the real work still matter. 

In this episode:

🧬 What exactly are peptides?
 💉 Are peptides safe?
 ⚠️ The dangers of buying peptides online
 🔬 Why sourcing and testing matter
 💪 Peptides and aesthetic procedures
 💉 GLP-1s and weight loss
 🧪 Why lab work and monitoring matter
 🧬 The future of personalized medicine
 💊 Peptides vs. the fundamentals of health
 ✨ Can peptides actually improve aesthetic results?
