We all get old, we all get wrinkles. There's nothing we can do about it, right? Wrong. Dr. Lexie Peterka, the founder and CEO of  LP Wellness & Aesthetics in New York City discusses non-surgical treatments like Botox, collagen fillers, and a non-invasive PDO thread face lift to help fix sagging tissues. Dr. Lexie also explains what "moon face" is and talks about the need for a health coach when clients appear to be addicted to plastic surgery.

When it comes to sex and sexuality, there are so many misconceptions, mixed messages and taboos, it's no wonder we women can't let go and just enjoy it! The thing is, you can. So says Liz Ilgenfritz, a holistic sex educator who offers up a crash course on shame-free sexuality. Why is human sexuality so relevant? How does it relate to relationships as well as the physical act of pleasure? With this holistic approach, we can ultimately own our sexuality and take control of our sex lives.

Want to befriend your body rather than being at odds with it? Well, Gabriella Espinosa, a menopause mentor and a yoga and somatic movement teacher, is here to guide us on how to connect to our inner wisdom and own our pleasure, power and purpose in midlife and beyond. She explains the practice of somatic movement: deconstructing old arousal patterns and creating new pathways to pleasure in the body. It requires tuning in and really listening to our bodies. And when we do, that’s when we finally connect to our physical needs and live a life that's in full color.

In traditional Chinese households, "The medicine cabinet is the kitchen cabinet," according to William Li, cofounder with Danielle Chang of the Hao Life, a line of Chinese herbal supplements and remedies that's steeped in traditional Chinese medicine but with an entirely modern twist. In this episode, the duo speak to Anne and Judy about the products they developed specifically to combat midlife hormonal changes: Got Game, a supplement for andropause (male menopause) and Balancing Act (for perimenopause and menopause). But there are many other products, too, all science-backed, plant-based herbs to help you live the good (hao) life.

She also shares insights about life in a more conservative India and how the word "menopause" is starting to surface in the news and even in Season 2 of her Netflix hit, "The Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives."
