What are adaptogens, and why did one dermatologist believe they were the answer to COVID-era skin pathology?

Dr. Anna Chacon welcomes board-certified dermatologist Dr. Marianna Blyumin-Karasik, MD FAAD, co-founder of Precision Skin and Body Institute and creator of Stamina Cosmetics. Dr. Blyumin-Karasik shares her remarkable journey from childhood in the Soviet Union—where summers by the lake and forest therapy shaped her worldview—to establishing a thriving holistic dermatology practice in South Florida. Her approach centers on patient education, comprehensive algorithmic care, and the belief that true skin health requires addressing internal wellness, immune balance, and lifestyle factors alongside clinical treatment. What inspired her unique philosophy? How does connecting with nature inform modern dermatological practice?

The conversation explores the intersection of traditional dermatology and integrative wellness, examining how stress manifests in skin conditions and why adaptogenic ingredients matter for skin resilience. Dr. Blyumin-Karasik discusses building Precision Skin and Body Institute with her co-founder Dr. Leslie Clark—including opening the practice just weeks after giving birth to twins. She reveals the inspiration behind Stamina Cosmetics, developed during the COVID-19 pandemic when patients' stress-induced skin pathology reached crisis levels. The episode concludes with essential advice for emerging dermatologists: stay true to scientific integrity, resist trendy procedures lacking evidence, and build patient trust through education and credibility rather than chasing social media trends.

Why do trans women still feel forced to choose between authenticity and safety in 2025?

Dr. Anna Chacon welcomes Rajee Narinesingh, a multiracial transgender woman of color who transformed life-threatening trauma into global advocacy. After suffering severe disfigurement from black market cosmetic injections—what she describes as a "rite of passage" many trans women feel pressured into—Rajee emerged as a fierce voice for awareness and healing. Her journey illuminates the devastating intersection of limited healthcare access, societal invisibility, and the pursuit of authenticity. How do we create a world where matching your outer appearance with your inner truth doesn't require risking your life?

This deeply moving conversation explores far more than cosmetic complications. Dr. Chacon and Rajee discuss the systemic barriers that push vulnerable populations toward dangerous decisions, the emotional toll of living visibly trans in an unaccepting world, and the remarkable power of vulnerability. From the psychology of trust in patient-physician relationships to Rajee's decision to forgive rather than press charges, the episode reveals how healing means not just survival, but service. Rajee reminds us that real beauty radiates from within—and that sometimes, the most broken parts of our story give us the power to make the biggest impact.

Dr. Anna Chacon welcomes Dr. Bilal Fawaz, board-certified dermatologist and associate program director at Boston University's Department of Dermatology, who is revolutionizing healthcare technology as the founder of DermHub—a mobile teledermatology app created and run entirely by dermatologists. With extensive experience managing over 7,000 econsult patients at BU since 2019, Dr. Fawaz brings a physician-first perspective to digital healthcare innovation. His core belief?

What if the practice of medicine is actually holding you back from building the healthcare company you envision?

Dr. Anna Chacon welcomes Dr. Laura Purdy, MD MBA, a family medicine physician turned healthcare entrepreneur and CEO who has become one of the most visible voices in telemedicine. From her roots in rural southern Kentucky to building a fast-growth digital health startup while raising five children, Dr. Purdy shares her unconventional journey from Army hospitalist to business leader. Why did she choose telemedicine over traditional practice? What drives someone to publicly challenge state medical boards and call out archaic regulatory systems? Dr. Purdy reveals how she transformed frustration with broken healthcare systems into a thriving nationwide virtual business—and why she believes the practice of medicine is holding her back from her true calling as a founder and CEO.

This episode explores the realities of physician entrepreneurship, the complexities of managing 30+ state medical licenses, and the strategic decision-making required to build a scalable healthcare business. Dr. Purdy discusses the importance of delegation and letting go—from in-person practice to luxury status symbols—while maintaining clarity about her ultimate vision. She offers candid insights on dating as a physician (she's engaged to a pediatric neurosurgeon), the value of an MBA for doctors interested in healthcare business, and why she plans to retire from clinical practice within five years. What's the difference between being educated in business versus actually running one? How do you protect yourself in a regulatory environment that "does not care about you"? Dr. Purdy holds nothing back in this powerful conversation about autonomy, impact, and designing life on your own terms.

If your career is your oxygen, how do you balance international manufacturing, teenage kids, and the tears that flow behind the Instagram-perfect moments? 
 
Join Dr. Anna Chacon, board-certified dermatologist and host of Skin Deep, as she welcomes Ximena Kavalekas, the Ecuadorian-born fashion designer and creative force behind her eponymous luxury handbag brand. Known for blending Italian artistry with Miami sophistication, Kavalekas has built a successful fashion label specializing in exotic python and crocodile accessories crafted in Florence's most exclusive factories. But what does it really cost to breathe life into a dream? "This business is my oxygen," Kavalekas confesses. "I wouldn't be able to be without what I do." From studying at Polimoda in Florence to becoming the only Latin American designer with a flagship store in Miami's prestigious Design District—surrounded by Hermès, Dior, and billion-dollar brands—she shares the unfiltered reality behind the runway glamour. 
 
This conversation goes beneath the surface of Instagram-perfect moments to reveal the tears, resilience, and courage required in fashion entrepreneurship. Kavalekas opens up about her failed first business during the 2011 recession, navigating complex customs regulations for exotic skins, and the dream every designer harbors: to one day sell to a major corporation like LVMH. How do you survive as a small luxury brand among corporate giants? What does it take to work with Italian factories that are "easier to get into Harvard than to get into"? From collaborating with Margherita Missoni to custom-designing crocodile doctor bags with 16 hand-matched skins, Kavalekas embodies the passion, mentorship, and hard-earned experience that defines lasting success in fashion.

What's the one mindset shift that separates successful entrepreneurs from everyone else? 
 
Dr. Anna Chacon hosts young entrepreneur Sean Frimpong on Skin Deep, exploring his remarkable journey from Baltimore struggles to millionaire status by age 19. Frimpong, a Ghanaian-Lebanese immigrant who became a father at 17, transformed financial hardship into success through e-commerce mastery and strategic thinking. His core philosophy centers on entrepreneurial mindset over traditional employment: "I wanna make money on my own terms when I want to, how I want to." As author of bestselling books "The Million Dollar Mindset" and "10 Keys to Financial Freedom," Frimpong advocates that financial freedom is accessible to anyone willing to adopt wealthy thinking patterns. 

The conversation delves into Frimpong's evolution from vending machine broker to seven-figure e-commerce entrepreneur, revealing practical strategies for online business success. How do traditional retail's declining revenues compare to e-commerce's exponential growth potential? Frimpong shares compelling statistics: his online stores attract 30 million visitors monthly—what would take brick-and-mortar stores five decades to achieve. The discussion covers sophisticated wealth preservation techniques, tax optimization strategies, and the psychological barriers preventing most people from financial success. "Majority of people can't see it all the way through. They give up too soon," Frimpong observes, emphasizing persistence as entrepreneurship's cornerstone.

"You can get help even if you don't have insurance. There's help and resources." - Patient Janet Viera 
 
Dr. Anna Chacon, MD FAAD, hosts a powerful conversation with Janet Viera, a patient courageously sharing her three-year battle with hidradenitis suppurativa. Janet's journey began in 2021 when severe, draining nodules forced her to quit her job and seek specialized care. After finding Dr. Chacon through Sesame Care, Janet discovered effective treatment combining Accutane, Humira, and targeted steroid injections. Her story demonstrates the importance of finding the right dermatologist and maintaining hope. What makes this episode particularly compelling is Janet's experience with the rare follicular tetrad syndrome. 

This episode explores the comprehensive treatment approach for moderate to severe hidradenitis suppurativa, including the challenges of accessing expensive biologics like Humira through patient assistance programs. How does family support impact recovery? What role do workplace accommodations play in managing chronic conditions? Dr. Chacon discusses the follicular occlusion tetrad, injection techniques for acute flares, and the intersection of multiple related conditions. Janet shares practical insights about managing daily life, relationships, and the emotional toll while emphasizing the critical importance of seeking proper medical care.
