This Unmillennial Life

As interest has grown in recent years in "cleaning up" the beauty industry, specialty brands have popped up all over the internet. But what about those times you want to just "run to the store" for a jar of moisturizer? Are there any cleaner beauty buys available at the drugstore?

Fortunately, the answer is Yes! Unfortunately, they aren't easy to spot unless you know what you're looking for in advance. After many hours researching what those brands are, I've compiled a full-length episode that details not only what the best cleaner beauty buys at the drugstore are, but also WHY the quest for cleaner beauty products matters.

From the concern about endocrine-disrupting chemicals in our environment to the reality that cosmetics do not undergo any safety testing as a part of their regulation by FDA, this episode covers all you need to know about buying cleaner beauty products at your local drugstore.

It's a conversation most parents don't want to have but know they probably should... the question becomes WHEN & HOW? Discussing the realities of porn with your tweens and teens can be very uncomfortable, but today's guest gives guidance on WHEN, HOW & WHY having "the porn conversation" is an important part of modern-day parenting.

About today's guest:

Dr. Pamela Hurst-Della Pietra is the President of Children and Screens: Institute of Digital Media and Child Development, an international, interdisciplinary, nonprofit organization that she founded in 2013 to support and advance objective, high-quality scientific research, identify and nurture talent, educate and inform the public and provide policymakers with actionable information. Using her medical degree, non-profit experience, philanthropic resources, and a long-standing interest in media and children, Dr. Hurst-Della Pietra has become one of the field’s leading conveners, curators, and grant-makers.

In today's 8-minute [8 track] mini-episode, my friend Gretchen Brown joins me to detail her recent experience using Qustodio to monitor and control her son's phone screentime.

If you’ve ever tried to lose weight only to find yourself gaining right back to where were before, “set point theory” may explain why. Set point theory suggests that there is an internal control in the human body that actively regulates weight (primarily fat mass) to certain weight for each individual. It’s a fascinating concept and is what I’m discussing in today’s episode with  Dr. Gabriel Smolarz*. In the show, we discuss:

• What is Set Point Theory?
• What determines your set point?
• How medical interventions like metabolic surgery and pharmaceuticals may help some individuals achieve successful weight loss based on a change in hunger hormones
• Can a person know their set point?
• Can your set point change? 
• How does “yo-yo” dieting affect your set point?
• Why set point theory doesn’t necessarily influence attempts to “gain weight”

Dr. Smolarz ends our discussion with an important clarification about how/why healthcare practitioners and people in general should begin discussing obesity using language that reflects the disease that it is, rather than using “obesity” as a personal characteristic.

Closing out the show, I recommend to listeners the podcast “Your Own Backyard“– a true-crime podcast that details the 1996 disappearance of Kristen Smart/

*About today’s guest: Dr. Smolarz is the medical director of obesity in US Medical Affairs at Novo Nordisk, Inc. in Plainsboro NJ. He is also a Clinical Assistant Professor of Medicine at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School and a practicing endocrinologist in NJ. He is board-certified in Endocrinology as well as Obesity Medicine.

In today's 8 track episode, I'm giving an update on recent changes/additions I've made to my beauty routine. Prompted by recent questions I've been getting and discussions I've been having, I'm sharing about these products: 

L'Oreal Voluminous Mascara

L'Oreal Double Extend Beauty Tubes Mascara

Rodan & Fields Lash Boost

Beautycounter Tetrapeptide Supreme Creme

Joining me in today's show is friend and fellow registered dietitian, Danielle Omar. Danielle -- an integrative dietitian and nutrition consultant -- is the co-creator of my new Fasting + Food program. We share a mutual love of beautiful eyelashes (she first appeared on the show in The Eyelashes Episode), plant-based eating and of course, fasting for longevity.

When Danielle and I first started our careers as registered dietitians, therapeutic fasting for longevity was almost unheard of. Fast forward to today and fasting has become THE thing to do. And while many of the popular fasting programs you hear about may offer some benefits, most of them don’t offer the benefit Danielle and I are most interested in -- the benefit of increased longevity. We’ve personally been studying the relationship between fasting and longevity and found there’s a ton of confusion about what fasting really is, and what results you can expect from doing it.  In this episode, we discuss:

• The various definitions of the term "fasting"
• How/Why therapeutic fasting for longevity is different from intermittent fasting (check out The Intermittent Fasting Episode)
• The importance of longterm fasting to turn on the process of autophagy
• What autophagy is and why it's so important for longevity
• The importance of understanding "why" you want to fast
• How therapeutic fasting is possible with the assistance of food
• The potential benefits of a longterm, food-assisted fast
• How hunger and a "hunger reset" play an important role both during and after a food-assisted fast

We spend the second half of this episode discussing in greater detail the program we co-created -- first for ourselves, then for others -- to facilitate a long-term therapeutic fast. Fasting + Food is a do-it-yourself therapeutic fasting program that allows you to fast, while also eating a few fresh, whole foods and recipes you make at home. While it may seem counterintuitive to fast and eat food at the same time, with the right calorie level and the right macro-nutrient mix, it IS possible to enter a state of metabolic ketosis that closely resembles that of a prolonged fast.
