In the Spotlight: Dr. Randi · The Dr. Randi Show

0:00
Hello everyone, and welcome back to the Doctor Randy Show.
0:03
Today's episode is a little different.
0:06
Usually I'm sitting across from founders, surgeons, innovators,
0:10
breaking down what's next in aesthetics, medicine, and
0:13
business. But today the spotlight flips.
0:16
You've heard me ask the questions, but today I'm
0:19
answering them. This is the speed round, the
0:21
habits, the preferences, the treatments, the leadership
0:25
style, the opinions, the things I love, and maybe a few things
0:29
that might surprise you. If you've ever wondered how I
0:32
think, operate or choose in this industry, this one's for you.
0:37
Bronson from our production team will be joining us and firing
0:41
away the rapid fire questions at me today.
0:44
All right, first thing you do when you wake up.
0:47
Check my phone. Go to meal or snack during the
0:51
work day. You won't believe this, but I
0:54
eat a lot of pouches. Some are in the baby food
0:57
format, some are in the adult pouch format.
1:00
They're the little pouches that are like, hey, I actually have
1:03
one in here with me, OK? They look like this, and they
1:06
have fruits or fruits and vegetables and some other kind
1:08
of things in them. I eat them all day long.
1:10
These are my snacks. They're in my purse, they're in
1:12
my desk. They're everywhere.
1:14
One thing you do every night, no matter what.
1:17
OK, so two things here. 1st is my nightly routine, which is
1:24
pretty vast. It takes about 30 minutes for me
1:27
to do my nightly routine. It's hair, it's skin, it's teeth
1:32
and body, right? So it's a whole routine with
1:35
lotions and potions and everything that needs to happen.
1:38
So it's a pretty vast routine that I do every night.
1:42
My husband is perplexed by it, but nevertheless, that is every
1:45
night. And then I pray.
1:47
Next up, weekend Vibe. Do you prefer staying in or
1:51
going out? I would say that it's a mix of
1:54
both, probably 5050. Some weekends I want to get out
1:59
and do all kinds of things and then some weekends I want to be
2:03
a hermit and not do anything. And sometimes it's pretty good
2:06
split. So I'm definitely not an all in
2:08
or all out girl. Are you a breakfast person or do
2:11
you usually skip it? Breakfast every single day of my
2:14
life I wake up starving so I never skip it.
2:18
Any particular breakfast that you prefer?
2:20
Usually egg whites. A lot of protein in the morning.
2:24
Are you regimented or go of the flow kind of person?
2:28
I am highly regimented in my daily routine and then when it
2:33
comes to my free time, I would say I'm pretty go with the flow
2:38
and like if we're going to get something to eat, I don't really
2:41
like to always have a reservation because say I want
2:43
to leave 1/2 an hour later whatnot.
2:45
So go with the flow in my free time but regimented during the
2:48
day when it comes to work. What would surprise people if
2:51
they followed you for a whole day?
2:53
Well, I think that this has been true for about 25 years, maybe
2:59
even 30 years at this point. But I would say that it would
3:03
surprise people that I have very little work life balance and
3:08
also that I like it that way. When I've worked at the level
3:11
that I have for so many years, work has become my passion, my
3:15
hobby. I don't really have many hobbies
3:17
so I don't have a big work life balance but I'm very happy with
3:20
it. What's always stocked in your
3:22
fridge? I'm assuming the pouches.
3:26
The pouches and I would say everything.
3:29
So I am one of those people who always has a fully stocked
3:33
refrigerator. You ever go to those people's
3:35
houses where they have like 2 drinks, ketchup, mustard and
3:39
like a sandwich? My refrigerator is always packed
3:42
with everything. I don't know, I grew up like
3:45
that. Then I just kept it going.
3:47
So I would say my fridge is stocked with everything healthy
3:50
and all kinds of food all the time.
3:52
How many cups of coffee do you drink per day?
3:55
This surprises most people because I have an unprecedented
3:59
amount of energy, but I do not take in any caffeine and have
4:04
not since probably my freshman year of college.
4:09
I don't like caffeine. I don't like the way it makes me
4:11
feel, makes me feel jittery. So I don't drink any caffeine.
4:15
Don't have any caffeine in any foods or anything.
4:18
Are you a early bird or a night owl?
4:21
Well, those who watch the show will know I am a night owl.
4:25
Big time night owl, always since the beginning of time.
4:29
I am a short sleeper, meaning I only sleep 4 hours a night.
4:34
I never needed more than four hours of sleep, so that means I
4:38
stay up late and I'm able to get more accomplished than probably
4:42
the average person. But I love the night time.
4:45
I love working at night, I love working on creative projects at
4:48
night. And definitely not an early
4:50
bird. I get early but I don't like
4:52
having to perform or do something where I have to be
4:55
super on in the morning. How many windows are open on
4:58
your laptop right now? OK.
5:00
Total chaos. My laptop is chaos.
5:04
It's probably over 100 windows open and just stuff all over my
5:08
desktop. It's the only thing in my life
5:10
that's completely disorganized, other than my phone probably.
5:13
I just have trouble keeping track of all of that, so it's
5:16
definitely not my proudest moment, but it is the truth.
5:20
One skill you wish you mastered earlier on in life.
5:24
Oh, that's a tough one. I would say probably ignoring
5:30
people's opinions that I don't aspire to be like.
5:34
And that actually is a skill, like not listening to all the
5:37
noise around you. And I realize that as I get
5:40
older. Only listen to the voices that
5:43
you would want to be like or people that you care about their
5:46
opinions. That's definitely a good piece
5:48
of advice. Yes.
5:50
All right, this may be similar to the laptop situation, but
5:53
your e-mail inbox is it 0 or 1000 unread emails?
5:58
I have a feeling. I don't I don't have good news
6:02
here. OK, I am looking at my inbox and
6:07
I currently have this is on my phone right?
6:10
So the across the bottom here, I have 61,000 unread emails.
6:15
This is why when people e-mail me and they're like you never
6:18
responded. This is why I lost control over
6:21
it a while ago. And I even have right now 246
6:27
unread text messages. So clearly I have trouble
6:31
keeping up with everything. But I do it and I clearly get
6:34
back to everybody. So when I say to people, you
6:38
know, text me, that's inviting them into my circle of trust, I
6:42
guess because e-mail, everything gets lost.
6:44
There's probably, you know, 500 a day.
6:47
Well a good follow up question to that is how long can you go
6:51
about checking your phone? This used to be a lot worse, I
6:54
would say. I used to be able to go like 10
6:56
minutes, but now I would say I can go a few hours and learn to
7:01
disconnect a little bit, right? But not very long.
7:04
Not more than a few hours for sure.
7:06
What's one thing you pretend not to care about, but you
7:10
absolutely do care about? That is a great question.
7:14
And here comes the truth, the aging process.
7:18
I definitely own my age. I will proudly say I'm going to
7:23
be 55 next month and I own it. And I pretend that it is OK that
7:31
I am 55 and I really am OK. Then I'm going to be 55.
7:34
But at the end of the day, when I'm sitting in my mirror after
7:39
I'm doing my, you know, 30 minute routine at night, I am
7:42
sitting there, you know, pulling things up and wishing gravity
7:46
wasn't pulling it down. So I guess it does definitely
7:49
bother me, even though, like, the aging process is natural and
7:53
I'm OK with my age, I wish there was more I could be doing,
7:56
right? I see the knees, the elbows,
7:57
those kind of things. I definitely think that's
8:00
something that everyone thinks about, so I don't think you're
8:03
alone on that. Yeah, yeah.
8:05
What's your most irrational pet peeve?
8:08
I am not a patient person, which you probably also know from
8:14
working with me for six years. But things like waiting in line,
8:18
waiting for things like when I get somewhere and I think I'm
8:21
about to do something and then I find out it's a one hour wait
8:24
and I just get very frustrated over things like that's probably
8:27
irrational. What's your guilty pleasure
8:30
scroll so when you're on social media?
8:32
Online shopping, So I am the worst meaning like I get served
8:39
every Instagram ad in creation because I buy the things that
8:44
they serve me, right? So the guilty part of what I do
8:48
is like, they'll serve me an ad. I buy something and like
8:51
sometimes it's very late at night.
8:53
I am one of those people that completely does the opposite of
8:56
what we're supposed to do, like turn your screens off at night.
8:58
I don't, I'm looking at social media until I doze off, but I
9:03
will buy a bunch of things and then I sometimes forget and then
9:06
it shows up and I'm like, Oh yeah, I forgot I ordered that.
9:10
So online shopping. What's your most extra thing
9:13
you've done in the name of efficiency?
9:16
I know everybody uses AI now, right?
9:18
Whether you're using ChatGPT or you're using one of the others
9:23
out there. So I work a lot late at night on
9:26
a night where I'm working on several projects.
9:29
Maybe I'm doing research for a show.
9:31
Maybe I've also got, you know, webinar I'm working on.
9:34
Maybe I'm also writing some emails.
9:37
I don't know if everybody does this, but I will have like 5
9:41
different conversations going with the robots at the same time
9:46
and then I give it a task and then I toggle to the next one
9:50
and then I give that robot a task, then I toggle to the next
9:52
1. So it's almost like I have 5
9:54
like employees going at one time working on different projects
9:57
and that really helps with staying I guess effective.
10:02
And I've got everything rolling at once while I'm waiting for
10:05
their answers. What's something bougie about
10:08
you that people might not expect?
10:11
I would say taking us back to my packed refrigerator, something
10:17
that's bougie about me is the food that I buy.
10:22
Like I don't save much on food, although I will look at like the
10:27
sales, you know, or what not. If these are the best eggs for
10:31
me to buy, I'll buy only those eggs, even if they're double the
10:33
price. If this is the best almond milk
10:36
to drink, I will buy it. And I don't skimp on it.
10:39
And I've kind of always been like, that's the one thing I
10:41
won't skimp on. So bougie food, not like
10:43
restaurant food, but like food that's in my house.
10:46
What's your signature? I'm done.
10:48
Move. So when everything's too much,
10:50
you're like, I'm out. What's that move?
10:52
That's definitely changed for me over the years.
10:56
I guess I'm viewing this and like I'm done with someone or a
10:59
situation or a thing. I would say silence, and that
11:05
was not always how I operated, where if I was bothered by
11:09
something, I was always very obviously bothered, right?
11:14
And I would let it be known that I was bothered and have
11:17
conversations. But as I've gotten older, that
11:20
mind control is big, like, you know, controlling your own mind
11:24
and your own emotions. And so I would say that silence
11:28
is really, as soon as I'm done, I become silent because I care a
11:33
lot. And I care a lot about the
11:35
people I'm involved with in the projects that I'm involved with.
11:38
But if I get a vibe that the care is like not coming back and
11:42
that it's not equal, I will just walk away and become silent.
11:47
And then there's nothing to get me to go back.
11:50
What's the most on brand thing about you?
11:53
Being as real as possible. Now, I would say like being
11:57
totally authentic. I'd love to say that, right?
11:59
But sometimes we can't be 100% real because sometimes the truth
12:03
hurts. It would hurt somebody's
12:05
feelings if you were 100% truthful.
12:07
But I think that again, age, authenticity.
12:11
I think that like being real and and telling people the truth and
12:14
how I truly feel about things and not just making them feel
12:18
better in the moment or putting out a fire.
12:20
I think being real and authentic.
12:23
If someone shadowed you for a week, what would exhaust them?
12:28
How many people I talk to in a day, how many phone calls I
12:31
have, how many different types of people that I talk to in a
12:34
day, and how long those conversations are.
12:37
I mean, there's sometimes at the end of a day where I will have
12:41
had sometimes over 40 conversations during a day,
12:45
right? One could be two minutes, one
12:47
could be 40 minutes, like whatever.
12:48
But it's a lot of conversations to keep all the balls in the
12:51
air. Well, lastly, I'm speaking about
12:55
the phone. If your phone battery guys, are
12:58
you calm or is it the end of the world for you?
13:01
Totally the end of the world. I will tell you this, I would
13:04
never let it happen because I'm a planner, right?
13:08
I'm a strategist. So if I'm going somewhere and
13:12
I'm going to be gone for a long time, number one, my phone is
13:15
always charged. You know, there's those memes,
13:18
like there's two kinds of people in this world, one with the
13:20
almost empty gas tank and one with the always full gas tank.
13:23
Like that's me. I'm always prepared.
13:25
And then if I'm going somewhere, say I'm going to be gone for
13:28
hours, I bring one of those phone charger banks, right?
13:31
The little chargers that you can plug into the bottom of your
13:33
phone. So if I'm going somewhere for
13:35
hours, I have one of those charged.
13:38
But if my phone did die and I have seen it get down to like 10
13:42
or 15%, I do start freaking out. If you had to give up just one
13:47
social media or e-mail, which would go 1st?
13:50
I have a feeling I know this answer just because we know
13:52
about your e-mail. Yeah, definitely e-mail.
13:56
If I never saw e-mail again, I would be happy.
13:59
But I really enjoy social media now and like understand the
14:03
purpose of it. You know, there's things that I
14:05
scroll through, but I really do enjoy social media.
14:08
I really didn't do a lot of any of those things before, but I'm
14:11
enjoying it. But definitely if e-mail went
14:15
away tomorrow, I would not miss it.
14:17
What's something that brings you a disproportionate amount of
14:20
joy? This is going to get like maybe
14:22
some eye rolls or something because it's probably not the
14:26
usual answer, but just hanging out with my husband.
14:31
We have a really cool friendship relationship, you know, love
14:35
affair, the whole thing. And when we can just kind of
14:38
unwind together and hang out, it's the biggest joy of my life.
14:42
What's one decision that changed the trajectory of your life?
14:46
So I would say, if we're talking about my career, I would say
14:50
leaving the safety of corporate America to start something in my
14:56
own name and start my own company, knowing that I wanted
14:59
something big. That was a huge change to make.
15:03
And I did it after the age of 40.
15:05
Also equally scary, right? Do people only want to do
15:09
business with young entrepreneurs?
15:11
But also just starting over and not having that safety of
15:14
knowing what the salary is and all of that security that comes
15:18
with it. What do you protect most
15:20
fiercely? Your time, your energy, or your
15:24
reputation? That's a great question.
15:27
I would say at this point in my career, it is my energy.
15:33
And what I mean by that is really only spending time on
15:39
things that I think are healthy and good fit and like that
15:45
energized me and that I feel like I can contribute to instead
15:49
of just saying yes to everything, which at one point I
15:52
did because I needed to to grow the company.
15:55
So I think that I would say protecting my energy is what I
15:59
protect the most of right now. When do you feel most powerful?
16:04
Oh, I would say when a project that I'm working on or an idea
16:09
that I've come up with comes to fruition, whether it's for me or
16:13
for someone else, you know, some of the other companies that I
16:16
work with or do some consulting for, when something really comes
16:19
through, that is the best feeling in the world to me.
16:23
I've worked really hard my entire life.
16:25
I'll be 55 next month. I've been working at this pace
16:28
since my late 20s. And when things come to fruition
16:32
and something really works out, that is really the best feeling
16:36
in the world. And then on the opposite end of
16:38
that, what drains you instantly? Probably excuses that I will
16:45
hear from people over time and lies.
16:50
I can feel a lot and not claiming like in a psychic way,
16:56
but like in an energy way. Like I can just tell like the
16:58
room shifts when somebody's lying or giving me an excuse for
17:02
something. And I just have no more patience
17:04
for it anymore. I used to like try to get the
17:07
truth out of it or try to turn it around and now I just like
17:10
end the conversation. I don't want to hear it anymore.
17:13
What's 1 compliment that means the most to you?
17:17
I would say something about how I've positively impacted
17:22
somebody elses life and like those compliments don't come
17:26
that easy and it's not something that you hear every day.
17:29
But sometimes in business or somebody that I've worked with
17:33
or that reported up to me at one point, like sometimes somebody
17:38
will write me a letter or an e-mail or something.
17:40
And that is probably the biggest compliment because I truly
17:43
believe that leaders create other leaders.
17:45
So if something good comes about it for someone, then that really
17:49
means a lot to me, and that's a huge compliment.
17:52
What's your biggest pet peeve in business?
17:55
One of them is zooms all day. You know, COVID created this
18:01
energy where people just want to zoom all day long.
18:06
And it's not even necessary to do like a morning huddle with
18:11
your team. You can get on for like 1520
18:14
minutes and everybody says hello to each other, you're alive, you
18:16
see each other. But like, if you need to talk to
18:19
those people all day long about other things, is it necessary?
18:22
Do you have to see them? Can you just pick up the phone?
18:25
I think it unfortunately causes people to become more sedentary.
18:29
You can't walk around. You can't get up and move
18:31
around. Some people are stuck doing
18:33
Zooms. 8 hours, right? And you're just sitting and not
18:36
moving. And on days when I have to do
18:38
that, I look at my step counter like I wear a fitness device and
18:42
I'm like, gosh, I didn't even move today.
18:45
So that's a big pet peeve in business.
18:48
And then kind of a silly one that I have to mention because
18:53
something that annoys me and has for years, when somebody says to
18:58
me, send me a calendar invite, I can't explain it, but it's the
19:03
equivalent of somebody asking me to clean their shoes.
19:06
Like, can you not keep your own calendar?
19:08
If I say to somebody, I'm going to call you at 3:00 tomorrow,
19:12
and then the response is send me a calendar invite, put it on
19:16
your own calendar. I don't understand that.
19:19
It's like they're telling you that you're beneath them or
19:23
something. I don't like it, and I think
19:25
it's weird. And those words have never come
19:28
out of my mouth. I would never tell someone to
19:32
send me an invite for a phone call.
19:34
I think it's demeaning. So it's weird because people do
19:37
it all day long. But for me, I don't like it.
19:39
What's one thing people get wrong about you?
19:42
So I would say that it's an overall concept meaning like
19:49
people either think that I'm super nice and they'll get that
19:53
wrong because I have a tough side when I have to be tough or
19:58
people think that I'm really tough and I have a really soft
20:02
side, right, You get what you give.
20:06
So if. Somebody needs to see the tough
20:08
side of me, they're going to see it.
20:10
And if somebody needs to see the really soft side of me, they're
20:13
going to see it. But I think there's like a mix
20:16
sometimes where people think I'm just really tough and I've heard
20:19
that, or I've also heard that people think, oh, you're too
20:23
nice or you say yes all the time.
20:25
So I think that that's something that people get wrong.
20:28
I have both. What's the hill you'll die on
20:31
professionally? Probably from the beginning of
20:35
my career, I would say not apologizing for being ambitious.
20:43
And I hate to say this because I don't like to get into like
20:46
gender things, but as a woman, sometimes we're supposed to kind
20:51
of shrink in the background. And I've always been super
20:54
ambitious. If I'm going to do something, I
20:56
do it all the way. And I think that's been viewed
20:59
sometimes as too much or maybe I'm too much or whatever.
21:03
But I don't apologize for it. If I'm too much for someone,
21:06
then that's not my person, right?
21:07
It's not a person for me to hang out with.
21:09
But I would say that's the hill that I die on, is never
21:12
apologizing for ambition. So Doctor Randy, what we're
21:16
going to do now is actually get some of your opinions on some of
21:20
the most popular aesthetic treatments.
21:22
Obviously you've been in the space for a very long time, so I
21:24
have a feeling you have a lot of opinions about all these
21:28
different treatments and I'm assuming you've probably had
21:30
some experience with some of these treatments, so would love
21:33
to get some of your thoughts on those.
21:35
OK, let's do it. Neurotoxin.
21:38
I love it. I only started doing neurotoxins
21:42
like 2 years ago but I would say that I think it's amazing.
21:47
I use it for my upper forehead and eyes.
21:50
I kind of vary and I think it's amazing.
21:53
All right. What about preventative
21:55
neurotoxin? What's your thoughts on that?
21:57
I think it's great. I definitely missed that boat.
21:59
I wish that I had been able to start doing preventative Botox
22:03
when I was in my 20s and 30s, but unfortunately I was late to
22:07
the game. But I think it's great for
22:09
people today because there's certain expression lines that
22:11
are going to form on your face, and if you can get ahead of it
22:14
and knock them out, why not? What's your thoughts on lip
22:17
filler? I think lip filler is great.
22:20
I do a little bit of lip filler. I think as we age, most of us
22:24
need some lip filler. But I think there's also a
22:28
tendency to overdo lip filler. So sometimes I think it's too
22:32
much. But I do definitely use lip
22:34
filler, but with a maximum of usually 1/2 of a syringe.
22:40
I think that when it overwhelms your face is too much.
22:44
Cheek filler. Great.
22:46
Definitely in. I think that it lifts the face.
22:49
You know you can give yourself some more defined cheekbones and
22:52
it gives you a nice lift. Jawline filler.
22:56
I believe in it. I think it can define the jaw,
22:58
helps kind of square off the face.
23:00
I love it. I believe in it, I've seen it
23:02
work. Chin filler.
23:05
I think it works. I think it takes a lot of
23:07
syringes. I think that people
23:09
underestimate. They say, oh, I'm going to go
23:10
get filler. So they think that, you know, 1
23:13
syringe is going to do that. But as we've learned in doing
23:16
the show, it does take a lot of syringes to do the jaw, the
23:19
chin, all of that. But these are things that I do
23:22
and have in my face, and I think it's effective.
23:24
Under eye filler. That one is something that I
23:28
wish I could erase from my past. In the past.
23:32
I did a lot of under eye filler years ago and at one point I
23:39
remember looking at some photos of myself and noticing that when
23:44
I would smile, like my eyes looked very strange because I
23:48
just had too much filler under my eyes.
23:50
So then I decided to stop doing filler under my eyes and then I
23:54
have a little poof under this right eye that will not go away.
23:59
We've tried to dissolve it many times, it just doesn't go away.
24:01
So I think there's just some filler trapped in there and as I
24:05
understand, it's a tricky area to get it out of.
24:07
So in hindsight, would I have ever done under eye filler?
24:11
No. I think there are much more
24:12
effective fillers for the under eye right now, but I'm not going
24:16
to test them. Well, Speaking of filler, and
24:18
you did kind of bring this up a moment ago, what are your
24:20
thoughts about this recent trend of people dissolving their
24:23
filler? Great question.
24:25
I think that it is needed in certain circumstances.
24:28
I think that we have learned that plastic surgery is more
24:31
effective when fillers dissolved beforehand.
24:34
I have had filler dissolved in a couple of places.
24:37
I think in the right cases, you know, sometimes we put filler in
24:41
and it doesn't look as good as we think.
24:42
And I think that dissolving it is just fine.
24:45
But I did learn recently from Doctor Nassif that you have to
24:48
be careful with dissolving filler because you can dissolve
24:52
it too much and then you can burn your own hyaluronic acid,
24:56
meaning run out your own hyaluronic acid in that area.
24:59
So we have to be careful. What about liquid rhinoplasty?
25:03
What's your thoughts on that? I've seen it work.
25:06
I tried it. I didn't see any results for me
25:09
and now they're saying it's kind of risky.
25:10
So for me, I stay away. Master Slimming.
25:14
OK, that's another one that I've seen amazing results from, but I
25:18
did hear that for women over 50 you should stay away from it
25:21
because it could actually drop your jowls even more.
25:25
So for me I'm staying away from it, but I have seen some great
25:28
before and afters. Next up, we have laser
25:31
resurfacing. I think it works.
25:34
I think it's super effective. I think it's also cost
25:38
effective. I think that the results last.
25:40
That is a great treatment for the skin.
25:43
What about CO2 lasers? 100% believe in them.
25:47
I've had four CO2 treatments made an enormous difference in
25:51
my skin. If I had to say cumulatively
25:55
what I think that those four CO2 treatments did for my skin, I
25:59
did 4 treatments in four years. I think that it took 10 years
26:03
off of my skin. Like the sun damage, I brought
26:06
back my skin health. I have not done one in a long
26:09
time, but I think that the ones that I did really left an
26:12
impact. And I recommend for people
26:16
probably in their 40s and 50s that really want to have an
26:19
impact on their skin and not just the light treatment, then
26:23
it can be super effective. Skin tightening energy devices.
26:28
I do believe in them. It is something that you have to
26:31
do regularly and making sure that you keep up with it because
26:36
otherwise you get behind on it. But I think it's very effective.
26:39
I've had them before. What about neck tightening
26:42
devices? So I've not had a neck
26:45
tightening device, but I've heard great things from some
26:49
people and I've also heard others say it was too late for
26:52
me. And we know the neck really does
26:54
show the aging first. So I think that you have to get
26:57
there within the right window of time for the neck.
27:00
And then similar, what about non surgical jawline sculpting?
27:05
I think same. I think that if you get there in
27:07
the right time that you can tighten it up before you'll need
27:11
surgery. I think eventually, you know,
27:13
these devices and things lead to a point where hey, it's time for
27:18
surgical intervention, but I think that there's a great 20
27:22
year window where these devices make a huge difference.
27:25
What about lower facelifting without surgery?
27:29
So I think that between the devices and injectables, you can
27:34
get somewhat of a lift, but there is a point where gravity
27:39
takes over and you have to start talking to a plastic surgeon.
27:43
So I think it just depends on what stage you're at, but I
27:46
think it's can be very effective.
27:48
What about body contouring treatments?
27:51
So I have had many body contouring treatments before my
27:56
wedding and different times, you know, trying all of the
27:58
different treatments. I think they can be very
28:02
effective, but it needs to be maintained.
28:05
Like you can't go ahead and have body contouring treatment and
28:10
then go and eat pizza and cookies nonstop for a month and
28:13
expect that your body is going to stay that way.
28:16
I think that the body contouring devices are more geared for
28:20
people who are in shape and then kind of defining that shape and
28:24
helping you stick to it. Muscle building devices.
28:27
I think that they are effective. The muscle stimulation,
28:30
obviously when you can get the equivalent of 30,000 crunches in
28:35
30 minutes or whatever that formula is, I think it can work.
28:39
But again, like I said about the body contouring, it's something
28:41
that you have to keep up with. And I think that you have to be
28:44
in some type of shape to begin with, right?
28:47
If you go in and you're completely out of shape, I don't
28:50
think you're going to show ABS right overnight.
28:53
My husband's done some of the muscle building devices and it
28:57
was effective, but then if he got out of the gym or didn't
29:00
keep up with it, it went away. So I definitely think it's
29:03
something that you need to maintain.
29:05
In a similar vein, definitely one of the hottest topics GLP 1
29:09
weight loss treatments. I think that this is changing
29:13
our world. You've probably heard me say it.
29:16
I mean we have one out of eight people in this country are on
29:20
GLP ones. I think that number is just
29:22
going to keep growing. Weight loss medication is the
29:25
future. I think that people have been on
29:28
different medications over time. It's working for them.
29:31
I think that the micro dosing is something we're going to see
29:35
more of over time. I think it's very effective and
29:39
I think it's helping people improve their health and coming
29:43
out with some great results. So I fully supported and I just
29:46
hope we continue doing research and elevating what's available
29:50
out there. Hair Restoration.
29:53
I think that hair restoration is also going to continue to grow
29:57
and be very hot this year. I think that hair loss
30:00
partnering with. Unfortunately, weight loss is
30:03
something that happens when people lose weight rapidly, they
30:05
lose hair and they find themselves shedding hair.
30:09
And I think that we're going to find this all partnered together
30:12
a little bit more. And I, I think that even just in
30:16
general, as we age, our hair thins.
30:18
And I think that that conversation is getting bigger
30:21
each day and coming up with solutions.
30:24
I myself wear a red light therapy helmet every night.
30:28
And I think that that is something that's just going to
30:32
continue to grow the products and the services that are in
30:35
that category. Let's move on to some skin care
30:39
related ones. So first up, medical grade skin
30:42
care. So I fully believe in it.
30:45
I'm all about skin care, medical grade skin care, skin health.
30:50
I use a medical grade red light therapy mask.
30:53
Everything that I can use that's medical grade just works faster
30:57
than, you know, something that is not.
30:59
So why not use medical grade skin care?
31:03
Retinol. Absolutely.
31:06
Almost every night of my life. Vitamin C.
31:09
So I think that vitamin C is not for everyone, but I do think
31:14
that you can maybe find a formulation that works for you.
31:17
But I love vitamin C. Barrier Repair.
31:21
Skin Care. I think it's very necessary.
31:24
I think we use a lot of actives on our skin like retinol, like
31:28
vitamin CI. Think that making sure that that
31:31
barrier stays in place will help us with the anti aging process.
31:34
I use some type of barrier skin repair everyday.
31:38
Peptides. Peptides for the skin I believe
31:42
in, I use something called copper peptides on my face a few
31:47
times a week. I fully believe in it.
31:49
It's blue and it's very unique looking product.
31:53
Wasn't sure what to think of it. Tried it, but I think it's great
31:56
and it had great effects for my skin.
31:58
And I think, you know, for each person, just like foods that we
32:01
write don't agree with everyone. So I think you have to find your
32:05
skin care regimen that works best.
32:07
And similar to skin care regiment skin cycling.
32:11
I believe in skin cycling. I think that, you know, rotating
32:15
your products that you can get everything in because I think
32:18
that like putting 7 serums on your face, you're not really
32:21
able to get the effects of all of them.
32:24
That might be too much. But if you rotate your products,
32:26
I think that you'll get the best results in that skin cycling.
32:30
And then what's your thoughts on slugging?
32:33
My skin slugging is like basically, you know, putting as
32:37
much of the occlusive products on your face, like very
32:40
hydrating and thick. And I will say that probably one
32:45
or two nights a week I do that where it's a very heavy layer of
32:49
moisture and not everybody's skin can handle that.
32:52
But at my age I need as much moisture as I can get, like oils
32:56
and heavy products on the skin. That is the last question.
33:00
So Randy, thank you so much for answering all the questions.
33:03
I bet everybody is happy to hear all those answers, especially
33:07
because you're usually the one asking the questions.
33:09
You did a great job today, Bronson.
33:11
And yes, it's definitely a different feeling being on the
33:14
other side of the questions, but it was fun and thank you for
33:18
doing that and thank you for everybody listening today.
33:21
So next week we are back pushing the industry forward again and
33:25
the conversation continues.
