Speaker 4 (04:04):
Welcome back, beautiful Tri State Area.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
You're listening to a Moment of Zen right here on
seven to ten WR the Voice of New York iHeartRadio.
I'm your host, zen Zam's up next in the Millennial
mom segment. Today, we're joined by podcaster and regular contributor
Anna Deverer, and she is joined by the amazing Nastasa Poli.
Nastasha is a certified registered nurse anesthesiologist in New York City.
(04:27):
But she's always had a big imagination and passion for
becoming a children's book author from a very young age.
And in twenty twenty one she did just that. She
co authored and self published her very first.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
Book called Puffy.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
They're going to join me right now to chat all
about this incredible book on self love and celebrating differences.
Welcoming now to the show is the amazing book author
Nastasha and Anna.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
So excited to have you on.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Nastasa, let's dive right in and talk about this inspirational
book called Puffy. It's a story about the ups and
downs of an everyday friendship between a young girl and
her hair. Now, your book is a reminder about celebrating differences.
Talk to us about what made you want to write
this book.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
When I get to the rooted by, it's definitely the
possibility of impact. So we have Puffy here that uh
pulls from white experience of mind that's a little girl
very and it would be the most positive experience. But
Puffy and good opportunity to wounds that narrative Little girls
with Curlie Carey. They'll see both the cover and they're
(05:32):
really benny to read the story and now love on
their girl. And you may have a little girl with
done that boat like feeler or putty on the front
cover the book. Perhaps the buck out breathe it and
then has it, especially with her parents about the back back.
People who look different things will we all need to
be intimidated by. We all need to bully them or
(05:52):
judge them. But different things make us solo.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
We need to sell.
Speaker 6 (05:57):
Well.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
This is amazing, So I want to keep talking about
why this theme of embracing your natural hair is so important.
And for centuries, societal standards of beauty have favored European features,
the blue eyes, the light skin, the straight hair, which
has subsequently excluded and marginalized every other racist features and
deemed them lesser than quote unquote beautiful.
Speaker 6 (06:19):
Right.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
An example of this is the natural hair of black people.
In fact, a survey exploring the experiences women have related
to their hair found that black women experience much higher
levels of anxiety than white women regarding their hair, and
one in five Black women feel social pressure to actually
straighten their natural hair for work, which is twice as
(06:42):
many as white women. And so when you look back Historically,
Black women have been pressured to alter their hair due
to these discriminatory and narrow beauty standards, which can be detrimental,
and it's so detrimental to one's self esteem, especially as
a little girl, which is why I especially applaud you,
Nastasa for creating this book for children, because it's of
the utmost importance to teach them this lesson early on
(07:05):
to embrace their natural hair and ultimately who they are
despite these societal standards. So congratulations, very very well done. Now,
I know I has some questions, so I'll hand it
off to you, my dear.
Speaker 7 (07:16):
Yeah, and I want to say that too in maybe
a different way, that I love that Puffy is a character,
and I know that the subject of hair is a
lot deeper, it's a lot richer, I think in just
kind of bringing it all together and lacing it all together,
can you just talk a little bit about how you
hope to help everyone even if they don't even if
they're a boy, and you sort of answer this, but
(07:37):
even go a little further. If they don't look like
the character in the books, what do you hope that
will happen when they read this book?
Speaker 4 (07:44):
Yeah, that's a great stay.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
I would sell everyone be all in love with yourself.
Puffy is the character, right though, what would your out
here hot and your will hide? I'll need said, or
I don't feel like I'm not or I don't feel
it's pretty. Oh, you know, love on your natural hair instead,
(08:09):
love on yourself, fall in love with you.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
That's exacts. That's a great message. And I love particularly
all of this self love and the topic of self love.
It's so important these days, especially since it's estimated that
roughly eighty five percent of people worldwide, both adults and adolescents,
have very low self esteem. But I'm curious to know
what has the journey with your own hair been like,
(08:32):
and has writing this book will led you to any
discoveries about yourself.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
My younger self would be very proud the one that
I am today, she would luck up. It's been a
lot of journey. I started out going to look a
little just like that. My God, the rest of my
hair athletes early right at it's my hair is curly,
it's too big, it's to toughly, it's too meathy. I
(08:56):
felt like my hair funky. I would make have a
lot of I felt that I can that's my belt.
I would always feel like I got our tools that
not okay. And then years later, I my lig kind
had had enough and I decided to love on my pearl.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
I bowled by light.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
And I was signing brighter than ever. I'm thett comfortable
I with myself that ever bandy, I'm the love compoles
in my self that i'd rather band I. Yeah, I
allowed me to watch the world did that length. That's
definitely a self discovery and writing the children's slip.
Speaker 7 (09:36):
Happy well again, I thank you for giving us an
entry point into this topic because I think I've shared
with both of you that well, I can. I do
have curly hair. It's straight for a reason today, but
I've entered a classroom with a big name that sounded
like a disease. Anastasia was just the bane of my
existence when I had to change schools and stand there
(09:58):
and nobody knew that it was a cute Disney movie
back in the day.
Speaker 8 (10:01):
So, I mean, I feel like.
Speaker 7 (10:03):
This is important for kids to understand differences and that
you know, we can have a conversation about just that
and self love.
Speaker 8 (10:09):
It's beautiful.
Speaker 7 (10:10):
And so you're now going into schools and talking to
kids face to face, Can you talk a little bit
about their reaction to your book?
Speaker 5 (10:17):
Absolutely, the reactions when WoT not those things a.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
Thing burying me at Farwell.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
On back to where I need to be, because kids
think the book ftal and ignites curiosity. Stage on about
a little girl came up katting. She looked like, look
at my puppy bible to her curlian hair, and I
look like, yeah, beautiful and all she goes and puts
her horm theF and rabs it. It's okay, puffy, and
(10:47):
I'm like, wow. Right after the story time, she's already
talking to her hair and letting me deliriate.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
It's okay, but it's okay.
Speaker 5 (10:55):
And then I love at Harlo's Books Fair last weekend
and I had a woman you looked about my lock
up to my feedball Sarah cree crying wants life book
and she slowly like takes her phone and turns it
around and shows your share. She with the little girl
very hair, and it'll just like you have no idea
how much a little I wish a bot that looks
(11:20):
like a character that looks like me when I was younger.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
I love it and I know you've seen great success
with over well over two thousand copies sold and it's
in over thirty schools and businesses.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
But let's go back to the beginning.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
It's one thing to write a book, but it's another
to get it published and out into the world. So
you self published your book, which I can assume was.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
No easy feat.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
What was that process like and did you learn anything
about about this process that you could share with potential books?
Speaker 5 (11:49):
Felt publishing allows you to have a lot of creative
freedom and then creative control with the story that be
wild tell and that was probably my favorite art. But
I also tell people I told the mom this fair
last weekend in Brooklyn. She had the story she wants
to share about her daughter and her to America, and.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
It's olib heer. It is a lot of work.
Speaker 5 (12:12):
I think, what is a hurdle with the publishing and
discoverability If you want your book to sell and will
want your message to read to many people as possible,
to make an impact, really to be anywhere and everywhere.
So when I'm not pro writing an a sesia in
Little patient surgery setters on the platform wrap the book
(12:33):
fairs are reader thing that to reach back puffium at home,
wrapping the books, shipping them post off and bending email
spread amistrators on updating our special media platform, our website.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
You know that it's a lot of hard work.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
To felt published, but it's bought me a lot of
joy when you see the impact that your story. How
excited people are to get their hands on your book,
It's amazing.
Speaker 8 (13:02):
It's amazing.
Speaker 7 (13:03):
Do you and do you want to give a shout out?
Obviously you found a sense of purpose in this and
I love it. I want to give a shout out
to your next book title because I know you've got
that one right up your sleeve.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
Yeah, I do, Thank you. So I'm working on another book.
Speaker 5 (13:15):
Now to be my book to bring all I learned
publishing to this book. It is titled If you don't Know,
Just Ask. The inspiration is uh. I'm just always very
tickled in my interactions with the kids in my classroom visits,
the amount of questions they have and how curious they
are about the world.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
That they try to make sense of it.
Speaker 5 (13:38):
So this book really nurses gerofity, exploring the unknown, problevuel
confidently affable questions, try finally answers It reminds you that
affable questions. Is it just about uh backfinding, but that
it can help other passion or empathy. So this book
(13:59):
is a little Boy the same Cow and the love
that question all was really bad into saray.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Wow, I can't wait to see this new book and
when it's out next year, and you're going to have
quite an impressive following by then, like you as if
you don't already have that now, but you have an
impressive career and already and an anesthesiologist turned children's book
off herween that's a three sixty. And I want to
(14:28):
commend you because this experience, without a doubt of writing
and publishing these books, I can see has changed your
sense of purpose. From this very interview, thank you so
much for being here.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
You are beaming light and you are.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
Obviously going to be making a huge difference in the
lives of many children to come and really inspiring them
to love themselves and celebrate love. Thank you so much

Speaker 6 (15:52):
Welcome back, beautiful Tri State area.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
You're listening to a moment of Zen right here on
seven to ten WOR the Voice of New York iHeartRadio.
I'm your host zen Zam's up next in the Going
Deep segment, brought to you by CO two Lift and
our expert on the Microphone series. Today, we're exploring how
COEO two Lift is revolutionizing pre and postcare medical procedures,
diminishing bruising, reducing downtime and enhancing healing like never before.
(16:20):
The proprietary line of products include the CO two vaginal treatment,
proving to be a game changer and leader in female
sexual wellness therapies. Joining us today we have two incredible
experts who are leaders in the aesthetic industry. Dan is
a board certified medical aesthetics nurse practitioner, entrepreneur and founder
of dan Esthetics Medical, which is one of the most
(16:41):
rapidly growing and reputable aesthetics brands in Canada. He's educated
over a thousand physicians, nurses and dentists on advanced aesthetic
techniques through his educational platform. His fashion for elevating the
field is truly inspiring. And then we have Michelle Julian,
co founder and business partner at dan Esthetics Medical, with
over twenty years of experience in education, luxury brand management
(17:03):
and business development. They are a husband wife duo. Her
innovative vision has helped launched and grow the clinic into
one of the most successful in the field. We're thrilled
to have you both here today. Welcome to the show, Superstars.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
Thank you. How's it going.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
Let's talk about how CO two lift products are truly
changing the game when it comes to esthetic procedures.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
This is her specialty.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
So Dan, before we dive into the specifics, I want
to set the stage with some context for our listeners
and viewers. So, esthetic procedures like neuromodulators and fillers and
lasers are incredibly popular, with nearly three and a half
million neuromodulator procedures performed in the US in twenty two alone.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
In twenty twenty two.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
Alone, and it's interesting because the global energy based aesthetic
device market, including the US, was valued at approximately four
point eight billion dollars, so we know that this is
very potent. But post treatment downtime, bruising and swelling still
remain common challenges for patients and this is where the
CO two lift mask comes in, promising faster healing and
(18:07):
better results. So Dan, can you explain how CO two
lift products specifically benefit patients who seek laser treatments and
energy devices, or for those who are undergoing micro needling.
What's the science behind it and how does it optimize
or enhance these procedures.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
Okay, yeah, it's a great question.
Speaker 11 (18:24):
And by the way, what's amazing about this product is
it doesn't only focus for medical listytic providers. There's a
lot of people using this. A lot of the stars
are using this now. Just place it on their face
before going out, just to make sure they have this
great glow before going out to any event. It's kind
of like this secret of the industry because it's basically
pushing oxygen to the surface of the skin, making your
(18:47):
skin more radiant. And it also hydrates the skin significantly,
adding hydration by like one hundred and seventeen percent. So
that alone, right, we're not even talking about medical is significant.
Now if you're getting down to the science. Basically, what
happened is you've got like these two packages. I'm gonna
show you what they are. They're like these two goal packages.
One of them has bluconolate and the other one is
(19:07):
magnesium carbonate, And basically it's just two products that you
mix together and it creates this gel. But the gel
is actually medication. It's carbon dioxide, so that's why it's
called CO two lyft and then basically you place it
on the face and what happens is your body literally
infuses the carbon dioxide and your body's supposed to be
having this you know, balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
(19:31):
And when your body recognize, hey, wait a second, we're
getting a little bit too much carbon dioxide coming into
the surface of the skin, your body has this compensation
mechanism where basically it pushes oxygen rich blood by vase
by dilating the blood vessels of the skin and the
tissues around it, and it pushes this aucygen rich blood
to the surface. So if you think about it, what
(19:54):
happens whenever you have more oxygen rich blood to the surface,
it's going to promote healing. A lot of the people
might not beware, but whenever people go for plastic surgery,
a lot of the plastic surgeons will place them in
this chambers Kyle. It's called hyperbaric oxygen chamber therapy. And
what happens is in that chamber they're pushing oxygen to
that client, that patient, and the compression of oxygen helps
(20:16):
them heal faster, and essentially that's what this is. This
is like a topical form of hyperbaric auction chamber therapy
and you're placing it on the skin after whatever procedure
to minimize bruising a and at the same time promote
healing and at the same time increase hydration, so your
skin just looks incredible afterwards.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
That's a great trifecta. And speaking of quicker healing, statistics
show that the demand for non invasive treatments is expected
to grow by over fifteen percent annually by the year
twenty thirty. And this is largely due to innovations like this,
which minimize downtime, and that becomes more crucial than ever
when you're evaluating if you want to do these procedures. Now,
how do steal tool lift products help in reducing bruising
(20:56):
and swallowing post procedure And what have you seen with
your own patients in terms of their recovery time?
Speaker 11 (21:02):
So this is kind of like an elite product, right,
So this product is going to be designed for people
who want maximum healing with low down time. Typically the
healing process for a bruise is about fourteen days. If
you can significantly improve that or delay that or improve
that healing time by dropping it to about five to
(21:23):
six days. That's typically what we see whenever we're offering
the SEO two lift, right.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Yeah, Now, one of the reasons your clinic has been
so successful is your focus on education and cutting edge
techniques and supportant for patients to feel confident. I mean,
that's why they're getting the best care available.
Speaker 4 (21:39):
Right.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
So, someone who educates physicians and practitioners, how do you
incorporate CO two lift products into your training and really
how do you ensure the best patient outcomes?
Speaker 11 (21:51):
So what's really cool about this product is you know,
again it's not for everyone. I mean everyone can absolutely
use it, but you're going to usually have your elite
clients wanting to jump in on this because there's a
little bit of a cost for it, which is totally fine.
But we give patients the option of like kind of
like a good, better, best outcome. So if you have
a leak clients and they're saying, hey, by the way,
like I want the best outcome possible. Well, let's say
(22:14):
if you're looking at you know, laser therapy. You know,
if you're doing any type of laser often enough, you're
going to have some type of downtime, or if you're
doing micro kneeling radio frequency, sometimes you're going to have
some downtime, maybe a little redness, maybe inflammation, maybe some
you know, dark spots that are going to stay there
for a while. But this can really significantly cut down
your downtime and at the same time, they're going to
(22:35):
see visibly, like noticeably improved skin texture and quality and
hydration right off the bat. So these clients who want
the best of the best, this is who it's kind
of like primarily focused for. Again, everyone can absolutely use
this product. However, the clients who are going to say, listen,
I want the best, just give me the best.
Speaker 6 (22:55):
That's what this is for.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
Amazing, I love it.
Speaker 6 (22:58):
Now let's shift gears a little mission.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
I know you cat a very hands on role in
launching and growing Dandesthetics Medical and your expertise spans everything
from cosmetology to business strategy. But you're also a true
advocate for COEO two lift V, the vaginal rejuvenation treatment
that truly is changing lives, and we know that vaginal
health is essential. A twenty eighteen study by the North
(23:23):
American Menopause Society and twenty eighteen, it's so long time
found that fifty percent of postmenopausal women experience vaginal discomfort.
Speaker 4 (23:32):
So I'm going to assume that the statistics.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Are even higher and this is an area where CO
two lift V can make a huge difference. So Michelle,
can you share your personal experience with the CO two
lift V and what improvements did you notice? I mean,
how did it really benefit your vaginal health?
Speaker 8 (23:48):
So a little back story on me. I'm forty one now,
but two years ago I had a full hysterect to
me coldly, so I have no more hormones. Dan probably
makes more than me at the moment, all right, then,
So ill to say, it takes a long time to
get back onto the track after a surgery of that sort,
to sort of like sort out your own system and
(24:08):
to understand where you're sitting with your own hormones and
your own health. Things change incredibly a lot in your
forties anyway, but having to be thrown into full on
menopause at that age is like a war wind of
a hit by a train kind of situation. So everything
takes a hit. Your skin, oh, your head, your like,
(24:29):
your emotions, everything. So when before and as trying to
figure that out and really understanding what menopause or homelones is, Like,
I think it's difficult to sort of talk about it,
but now big you said your stature from twenty eighteen,
but now I think in the last year in particular,
there's a huge push for understanding what women are going
(24:51):
through even before you hit menopause. I think that's even
a bigger hit. Our clinic primarily is women, with a
lot of men as well, but women, and often enough,
when they sit with me before they see Dan, we
have a chit chat and they know this of me
because it doesn't I don't hide the fact that I've
had in a menopause, and when they start sharing their story,
(25:12):
we start talking about intimate conversations as to like you say,
vaginal dryness, painful, painful sex. Also, I also disconnect with
their partner because they don't understand what's happening with themselves
and and it's difficult to get in to see your
physicians and to ask for help or not even knowing
that there is other options. So that's when this came
(25:33):
to us. Wilble with this year, I got to have
a treatment with the CO two left V and it's
been incredibly changing actually down to partner health, less pain
on a daily basis, less dryness for sure. It's just
been really a changer for that.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
Well, you know you're not alone and think now it
increase number of women are seeking these treatments to regain
their confidence and confluent and their comfort.
Speaker 4 (26:06):
And up to seventy.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
Percent of women who experience vaginal discomfort they don't seek
treatment often because they're not aware of the non invasive solutions,
or they find shame and addressing it or talking about it.
So I think what you're doing is extremely proprietary. Now
from your business perspective, Michelle, how have you seen the
demand for vaginal rejuvenation evolve over the years and are
more women seeking out treatments like seal two lift. What
(26:30):
feedback have you have you been receiving?
Speaker 8 (26:32):
Well, I don't know if you've ever been to the
pharmacy to see if you know you have symptoms for yourself,
Like you know, I experiencing pain, you go to the
pharmacy and it's usually for like an itch, Well nobody,
yes that's a thing, But like when you're in pain
and you don't know that there's options whether it be
hormony in a medication or now this this is fairly
(26:54):
new to the market, and I don't think anyone really
understands the magnitude of what it can do for you.
I think it's imperative that women understand that we have
a lot of options, want more options now, and to
chat about it. And nobody really chats about it still,
so it's kind of new. I think women are kind
of scared to talk about it until you sort of
open the door and say, hey, this is here. That's
(27:15):
been kind.
Speaker 11 (27:16):
Of changing for us my end as well, so my
background as nurse practitioners through primary care before this and
in primary care. It's really interesting when it comes down
to you know, let's look at someone going through menopause, perimenopause,
they're no tests for it. Like basically the only diagnostic
tests that you can do is like a follicle stimulating
(27:37):
normone f s SH, and that hormone will only show
that it's s low once you're in full menopause. So
if you're feeling it, if you're in perimenopause, when you're
experiencing these real symptoms, there's.
Speaker 4 (27:46):
No test for it.
Speaker 11 (27:47):
You know, you can do a bunch of other like
lunizing hormone tests and all that, but they usually always
come back normal. And for primary care practitioners such as
nurse practitioners and physicians and even in PAS, sometimes they
have to go like the metal body really regulates what
you're doing. So they're going to say, hey, you can't
prescribe anything if they're outside of these If they're within
the norms. If they're outside the norms, go ahead. But
(28:09):
if they're in the norm and they're experiencing these symptoms,
that means the primary care providers are not going to
be really offering anything. Most of the time they offer
them anti dubressas. So it's tough because people are kind
of like shaming the physicians, but the visitians are like,
our hands are tiely, you know, what are we supposed
to do? We can do this, but there's a little
bit of our risk boils well, like.
Speaker 8 (28:26):
We're like, you know, I went to my doctor and
it told her how was a feeling, and she's like, well,
there's there's nothing you can do. And then I found
this and I was like, wow, okay.
Speaker 11 (28:35):
Yeah, so now you have an auction that's non hormonal.
It works and like I said, even if you're placing
it on the face, it increases hydration by one hundred
and seventeen percent visibly, right, So to go back to
not even vasual treatments. So if you're just if you
have fine lines on your skin, a little bit more mature,
even if you're younger, this is like the best thing
to do. You just place it on your skin three times,
once a night, and you're gonna, like, you'll be floored.
(28:57):
All our patients who do, our clients that come in
and they trive for three like this is the best
thing ever. Everyone needs to know about this. Yeah, Now
imagine doing that intravationally. You're increasing hydration one hundred and
seventeen percent and you're actually you know, for me personally
through experience from sex, like there is I think the
difference is night and day. I agree, And that's without hormone.
(29:19):
Now you can use that with or with complimentary hormones,
and it's great.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
Yeah, It's clear that taking care of ourselves goes beyond
just the surface, and these products are really really empowering
women to feel their best. And the more we talk
about it, the more we can read the stigma around
and you know, female sexual health or you mystifying sexual stigmas. Now, lastly, Michelle,
what advice would you give to women who are on
the fence about trying ZEO to lift V What can
(29:45):
they expect from the treatment, the process and the results.
Speaker 6 (29:48):
What did it feel like? What did you immediately need
this difference?
Speaker 8 (29:51):
So I did fifteen treatments, so it's five nights on,
two nights off, five nights on, two nights off, five nights.
It is a little gunky, I'm not going to disclose
that it's not. It's not super gliaborous. You have to
sit for an hour. You can walk but around, but
it's kind of awkward, But it's an hour of me time.
(30:12):
Rarely I got to sit and read or watch an
episode of whatever I like. And that's it, Like, there's
no downfall to it. Really, it's just having to spend
an hour on your own and then so that's a
really a moment to really reflect and the benefit. It
takes away most of my symptoms. So why why wouldn't
you want to try it? It is just to let
(30:34):
women understand that you have another option, and a quick option,
like you don't have to wait for your physician to
prescribe to you an internal hormones. Now it could be
an adjunct obviously, so there's different reasons for different things.
But this is something a starter point anyway to get
you going and then seek more if there's more other
things happening.
Speaker 11 (30:53):
You know, you know it's crazy. Men and can also
use this as a vasa dilator if they want to
put it on their penis. So if they're your insirect
out of this function, right, maybe it's because they're not
getting quite the amount of blood flow as they were before.
You literally put it on your penis to sit there
and it works like biagar.
Speaker 4 (31:08):
It's crazy.
Speaker 11 (31:09):
So the other thing you can do too, which you
know a lot of people are doing, is they will
their partner Michelle will put it and keep it in
there for you know, forty five minutes an hour, and
then after that we can ask sex with it inside it.
It's completely fine and it's great.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
Yes, and I love that you guys are a husband,
wife and dull you can really consult your patients from
your own perspective.
Speaker 8 (31:29):
Perspective, Yeah, from your own experience.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
We are at the end of this incredible, very transparent,
very informative session. I can't thank you both enough for

Speaker 4 (34:42):
Welcome to the show, Superstars.
Speaker 6 (34:44):
Hey welcome, Hi Doctor a Brara.
Speaker 12 (34:47):
Thank you, thank you for having me. I'm excited to
be here today.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
It's our pleasure to doctor Ava, thank you so much
for joining. You've built quite an impressive career in medicine
while maintaining a busy personal life, and you've been very
transparent about this on social media. And interestingly enough, a
Doximity report revealed that around seventy percent of doctors are
now active on social media, using it as a tool
(35:15):
to connect with patients and the public. So this is
definitely a generational shift as doctors traditionally kept their personal
lives private. What impact has your social media presence had
on your business and how do you feel it helps
foster more engaged in just in community.
Speaker 12 (35:31):
Well, I started in our social media journey, believe it
or not, around twenty nineteen, so a little bit before
the pandemic started, and a lot of people start write
things on a journal to inspire themselves. I just started
my journey on social media as a way to inspire
myself by putting out positive things out there and then
going back and reading it and inspiring myself. And I
(35:53):
got a bigger response from other people about it, and
that kind of made me continue to just put things
out there because I like to inspire, to educate and
empower women, and that's really in the nutshell.
Speaker 4 (36:04):
How I started my social media journey.
Speaker 12 (36:07):
Not so long before the pandemic, and right on the pandemic,
was when a lot of people were curious about what
was happening. They had questions about the virus and a
lot of things happening with the frontliners, and so a
lot of doctors were putting more things on social media
than before.
Speaker 3 (36:26):
Okay, doctor Daisy, this is a perfect time for you
to come in. As someone who's been in the field just.
Speaker 4 (36:31):
A little bit longer. You've seen the landscape change and now.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
Historically doctors kept a certain level of privacy, but today
transparency is key to connecting with the modern audience. I'm curious,
how do you see this shift in openness on social
media among doctors and how has it affected your practice
and relationships with patients.
Speaker 6 (36:50):
I've been practicing for seventeen years, so I have had
established business, never was online, didn't really know anything about
social media. You really didn't coming to my radar in
twenty twenty when everybody was sitting at home or I
was in here in my office and I could only
do obstetrics and everything else in my practice was shut down,
and I was like, oh, there's social media, and the
(37:12):
irony is that in my practice. Actually had on my
manual my staff you're not allowed to be on Facebook, Snapchat, tweeter,
because I saw it as it's not good for the practice.
For whatever they do off the practice and brought it
here and I just didn't like that energy. And I
was like, no, none of that in the practice. So
I was very much like, keep that abrace, let's focus
(37:34):
on work, focus on the patient. And then twenty twenty
happened and I was like, oh, what is this thing?
What is Instagram?
Speaker 4 (37:41):
What is that?
Speaker 6 (37:42):
And for me it's been what four years now, I'm
embracing it, but not I think today extent like doctor
Evil or other younger doctors, why I just see there completely.
Everything is out there and to each toe. So my personality,
I think I'm more reserved.
Speaker 4 (38:00):
Akay.
Speaker 3 (38:01):
So following up on that, what advice would you give
to younger doctors who are navigating exactly this the fine
line between sharing just enough to build trust.
Speaker 6 (38:10):
With their audience and keeping some parts of their lives private.
Speaker 12 (38:14):
I think setting clear boundaries, you know, trying to figure
out exactly what are you trying to accomplish with your
media account. You can still be authentic while at the
same time not having to share everything about your personal life.
And so setting up those clear boundaries about what it
is that you're trying to convey, what it is that
(38:34):
you're trying to do with your social media page will
really make things a lot clearer or people trying to
navigate that world. Also making sure that HIPPA, you know,
we still have HIPPA is to have patient reality, so
you also know too much about patients identity, age, or
(38:55):
anything that can be identifiable to a patient. Because I
get you in trouble, but I still think that social
media is more positive than negative because you have a
way of reaching out to a broader audience. You have
a way of teaching more people and showing more people
what it's really like to be a woman who's a professional,
(39:16):
who's trying to manage multiple facets of her life, who's
trying to who's trying to waste a family, who try
to have a business, so trying to see page. So
I think it's a lot of positive trying to show
the younger generation what it's like to be able to
maneuver all of these things.
Speaker 4 (39:33):
And do it well.
Speaker 6 (39:35):
I think I call social media the yellow Pages of
today's time, and the yellow Pages is creating content constantly.
In our time, the yellow page, you just ride your
office in your location and the phone number and that
was it. Now you have to create content and keep
it going. And you know, I agree with you. I
think there's a lot of positive in it if you
(39:56):
approach it the right way, you know, use it in
the right form and right medium. But staying true to yourself,
I think really boils onto a personality, you know. And
I think for me it's funny because I still sew
my patients on social media.
Speaker 4 (40:09):
They have known me for seventeen years.
Speaker 6 (40:11):
I have to be the same doctor they known and
the same person aligned I can all of a sudden.
Speaker 4 (40:17):
Come with this.
Speaker 6 (40:17):
I call it what your very spacial fears personality is Like,
wait a minute, that's not you, Daisy, you did It's true.
Speaker 3 (40:24):
And speaking of balance, you're also an author, right, so
I'm going to go back to this and a dedicated
professional in the medical field. And according to Men'scape, we
have about forty five percent of physicians that report burnout,
so this is a severe thing. Women are more prone
to it.
Speaker 4 (40:39):
Than men.
Speaker 3 (40:40):
How do you manage to balance the demands of your
medical career with your personal life and creative.
Speaker 4 (40:45):
Outlets because you're also an author.
Speaker 12 (40:48):
Well, it comes down to really trying to cultivate the
multiple sides of me. I always say that medicine is
what I do, and medicine is not who I am.
Still me, I'm still a girly girl who likes to travel,
who likes to go out with my friends, who likes
to spend time with my family. I also have passions
(41:08):
for my patience, and so trying to cultivate the multiple
personalities that I have without feeling bad about it and
knowing that it's okay. It's normal to want to have
a life outside of medicine and not feel ashamed. I
think there's a stereotype out there where people think that
once you go into medicine as a woman, your life
(41:30):
is over. You're not gonna have time to waity thing,
You're not gonna have time to have a family if
that's what you wish to do. You're not gonna have
time to do anything outside of medicine.
Speaker 6 (41:39):
And I want to.
Speaker 8 (41:39):
Break that mold and show people that it's not true.
Speaker 12 (41:42):
Because I'm leaving proof that you can still be a
successful physician and still have a successful personal life as well.
Speaker 4 (41:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (41:51):
I think in general, medicine was very traditional in this
outlook on women and basically put women in this narrow books.
Speaker 4 (42:00):
You know.
Speaker 6 (42:01):
And I think it's really nice to see this young
female surgeons just being out there and I see a
surgeon because that's the one specialty in medicine that was
the most restrictive for women to do certain things. So
when I see these young teama surgeons on social media
going out and just putting all the different pacet of themselves,
I'm like, yes, that's how it should be.
Speaker 4 (42:22):
You guys speak the same language.
Speaker 3 (42:23):
Now, many women still feel uncomfortable discussing sexual wellness even
with their doctors. But I want to really address this
because this is at the heart of it all. Doctor Ava,
you have an incredible practice. How do you approach these
conversations in your practice and what steps can can other
doctors take to help remove the stigma surrounding female sexual help.
Speaker 12 (42:45):
I think as positions a lot of times, and it's
part of the training they teach you to suppress your
other sides of you and so just remain that professional
which is important. But at the same time you will
also you and you have to learn how to connect
with your patients that are standing in front of you.
(43:05):
So what I do is I try to just lower
my guards, cultivate trust because that's also very important, cultivate relatability,
and just letting my patients know, look, I'm human, just
like I think.
Speaker 6 (43:21):
It's easy too when you have a solo practice or
you're in a private practice. You know, because your position,
if you're employed by a hospital or you have a
group practice, your time is kind of limited. It's your
expectation and and then and all these core measures you
have to need, and sometimes it interferes with that patient position,
relationship and time available to really bond and give them
(43:44):
what they want. But you know, when you're in a
solo practice or a private practice, it's a bit different.
You know, you kind of set the tempo and the
speed and the time with that particular woman to address
her sexual needs and my experience here. You know, it's
like when they're coming here, they know there's seen a diecologist.
I think it's a little bit different because that conversation
is already about that area, so they are more relaxed
(44:07):
and at east to ask the question, and then you,
the surgeon or the position, determine how relaxed they will
be when it's one on one.
Speaker 4 (44:15):
Did I feel like they can just talk to.
Speaker 6 (44:17):
You or they have to hide back the feelings?
Speaker 4 (44:20):
Yeah, without a doubt.
Speaker 3 (44:21):
And I want to go back to addressing something that
is I think extremely important that I've noticed it something
that you both are very well known for doing. So
let's talk about strength training. It's such an empowering activity
for women, doctor Ava. How has this impacted your health
and what would you say to women looking to redefine
their strength through physical activity.
Speaker 12 (44:43):
I think when I left residency, I really wasn't the
person that I am today. I was drenched in medicine
twenty four to seven. I come home and still have
notes to write, emails Tenser, and then one day I
decided that I wanted to set some boundaries, and those
boundaries included leaving work at work and coming home to
(45:04):
focus on my family and also finding time for me.
As women, we are so used to putting everybody else first.
We don't put ourselves first, and being a physician means
even more of that. Because you thought that your patients
come first, your family comes second, and you come last.
And I didn't want to do that anymore. And so
(45:26):
that's when I decided to put some time for me
on my schedule. Because on my schedule the kids had
a space, my husband had a space, even my pets
had a space. I had more space for me, and
so I decided to put gym time into my schedule,
and over time I realized how amazing it was for
my mental and my physical health.
Speaker 6 (45:47):
Right, that's really good. I think one of the reason
why I went into private practice solo, not group, for
that reason alone. Because I was in control of my
plan and my time. I could easily say, Okay, today
I'm going to leave the clinic at three because I
have to go and pick up my daughter, or I
have to do this with her, or I have to
(46:07):
do something. And I didn't have to talk to anyone.
Speaker 4 (46:10):
It was just me.
Speaker 6 (46:11):
So I did trend the.
Speaker 4 (46:12):
Flow of my practice that flows my schedule.
Speaker 6 (46:15):
And the irony is that your patients, when they know
that it's only you, they always see you. They are understanding.
And that's what I learned was a secret sauce with
this was even with the obji and I have to
go with deliver. They understood, They're like, you know what,
I know, she's my doctor. I'm gonna wait. And it
was just a different feeling. And I'm grateful that I
didn't have that, you know, join a practice or join
(46:35):
a hospital and along the way I have to be like,
oh God, my time is taken. I have nothing left.
Never experience that, and I I hope not too.
Speaker 4 (46:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (46:46):
Now, one last question here, or maybe two last questions,
if we have time. Mentorship is such a key part.
Speaker 6 (46:52):
Of growth in any field, without.
Speaker 3 (46:55):
A doubt, but especially in medicine. How do you mentor
younger women in the field, and what's your message to
those facing barriers is they try to build their medical careers.
Speaker 12 (47:04):
I just think that it's very important to be as
relatable as possible and as honest as possible about the journey,
because I see a lot of people on social media
only showing the positive, the good parts, and not talking
about the negative and the bad parts. So I just
want to let the younger generation know that, yeah, it's
a fulfilling career, it's amazing to take care of other
(47:27):
people and help them along their journey. But then at
the same time, there are a lot of roadblocks, there's
a lot of barriers, there's a lot of ups and downs,
and that is a part of the journey. And so
by putting that out there, I'm just setting the tone
to let them know that they're not alone and facing
(47:47):
whatever they're facing. And I'm also very open, you know.
I answer my DMS, I answer my emails, I get
on the phone with people sometimes, I get on zoom
calls when I can, and I answer as many questions
as I possibly can and to kind of help them
along their journey. We need more women in this field,
especially minority women, and so I'm hoping to, you know,
(48:10):
switch that stereotype out there so that more of us
could be in this field in the near future.
Speaker 6 (48:16):
Yeah, I think that's really good what you're doing, doctor Eva.
I mean I really commend, I say, the younger social
media doctors, because in our time, if you did half
of what was going on now, you'd be written up
or getting some calls somewhere next to you know, you're
in some.
Speaker 4 (48:30):
Big trouble, right.
Speaker 6 (48:32):
But I wanted to ask you what inspire you to
write your book and how did you find the time
to dedicate and create that creative, Jewish atrogant.
Speaker 12 (48:41):
So Paging Doctor you step by step guide to becoming
a doctor is literally a guide written in very simple
words for any kid that that's even as young as twelve.
Because after I left residency and looking back at my
journey and a lot of things that I had to
(49:02):
go through I thought were normal that they made you think.
Speaker 4 (49:06):
Was normal were not normal.
Speaker 12 (49:09):
And also looking back, there weren't a lot of people
that look like me, right, And so I wanted to
kind of change the narrative again. Why is that. It's
not because when I'm smart. It's because I feel the
system is meant to fail us. And that's truly what
I feel. And I wanted to write a simple guy
(49:29):
to let others know exactly what they need to do
as fairly as possible to position themselves for success.
Speaker 4 (49:36):
Very nice.
Speaker 6 (49:36):
I just have one thing before you go, Okay, So
the tackline for the podcast is and where ambition makes empowerment.
So the one question I have for you is what
is the one ball step you have taken in your
career or life that truly embodies your ambition and empowered
you to get where you are today?
Speaker 12 (49:58):
Probably the realization that I matter. You know, I think
throughout my whole career it was more so everybody else
matters more than you. Your patients matter more than you,
your family matters more than you, everything else. So you soul,
(50:18):
you thought to just be out there and serve and
serve and serve and not accept anything in return. And
so when I realized that I mattered, I started making
some changes, and a lot of those changes included putting
some time for myself, utilizing my resources, and not doing
(50:39):
everything by myself, including nanny services people to come and
clean the house, anything that would free up some of
my time, and also being okay with saying no. I
didn't know how to say no before, and now I
can say no a lot easier.
Speaker 4 (51:00):
Which is very empirering for me.
Speaker 6 (51:03):
Nice Well, we are officially at the end of this

Speaker 8 (52:19):
Hi, I'm Emili Hayden.
Speaker 13 (52:20):
I'm the host of the Evolved the Podcast, Personal Coach
and Mentor. Now we've all had those seasons in our
life where it feels like nothing is working out. You
don't get the job, the relationship doesn't work out, and
it feels like the things around you are crumbling. This
can feel like a very disempowered place to be in
if you have the core belief and if it's part
of your language a thought process, that nothing works out
(52:43):
for me and the world as it gets to me.
I know that it can feel that way when you
were just getting disappointment after disappointment. But let me tell
you what you allowing that to be a part of
your language and your thought process is actually keeping you
stuck in this disempowered place. So today I'm here to
help you move into an empowered place that can create
a different reality for yourself. Now, the way that we
(53:03):
can do that is by shifting that belief that nothing
works out for me too. Now having this affirmation of
belief that everything is always working out for me, what
this does is it spikes curiosity and a potential hope
for the future. So, in a real life example, it
would look like you don't get the job or you
get fired from the job. One way of navigating that
(53:24):
in a disempowered place would be nothing ever works out
for me. This always happens, And that feels heavy, It
feels frustrating and being in a heavy, frustrated place is
not going to allow you to take positive, inspired action. Now,
you could go through the same exact example of losing
a job and instead say, Wow, I wonder how this
is working out for me because you have the core
(53:46):
belief it's always working out for me. Now you're curious
and you're interested. I wonder how, I wonder what is
next for me? I wonder what this is preparing me for.
I wonder why space is being created in my life
right now. I wonder what incredible job opportunity I'm going
to get next. And I wonder how the job that
I just had actually prepared me for where I'm going next.
(54:08):
So you see how simply a shift in your thought
process and your beliefs can create an entire different thought
process which allows you to show up differently for yourself.
It allows you to show up in an empowered, excited,
curious place. Your energy truly does dictate the way you think,
the way you speak, and the way that you show
up in your own life. So today I hope that
(54:29):
you guys will really think and analyze am I in
a disempowered place or in an empowered place? And if
you're in a disempowered place, We've all been there, but
now this is your opportunity to check yourself. What are
those real beliefs, those core beliefs that you have that
are dictating the way that you see, what it is
that you're going through, and could you invite yourself into
(54:49):
more of an empowered place so that you can take inspired,
aligned action and get excited, curious.
Speaker 4 (54:54):
And helpful for your future.
Speaker 13 (54:56):
Thank you guys so much for joining me, and if
you'd like to check me out on the pot Us platforms,

Speaker 4 (04:04):
Welcome back, beautiful Tri State Area.
Speaker 3 (04:05):
You're listening to a Moment of Zen right here on
seven to ten WR the Voice of New York iHeartRadio.
I'm your host, zen Zam's up next in the Millennial
mom segment. Today, we're joined by podcaster and regular contributor
Anna Deverer, and she is joined by the amazing Nastasa Poli.
Nastasha is a certified registered nurse anesthesiologist in New York City.
(04:27):
But she's always had a big imagination and passion for
becoming a children's book author from a very young age.
And in twenty twenty one she did just that. She
co authored and self published her very first.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
Book called Puffy.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
They're going to join me right now to chat all
about this incredible book on self love and celebrating differences.
Welcoming now to the show is the amazing book author
Nastasha and Anna.
Speaker 4 (04:50):
So excited to have you on.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Nastasa, let's dive right in and talk about this inspirational
book called Puffy. It's a story about the ups and
downs of an everyday friendship between a young girl and
her hair. Now, your book is a reminder about celebrating differences.
Talk to us about what made you want to write
this book.
Speaker 5 (05:08):
When I get to the rooted by, it's definitely the
possibility of impact. So we have Puffy here that uh
pulls from white experience of mind that's a little girl
very and it would be the most positive experience. But
Puffy and good opportunity to wounds that narrative Little girls
with Curlie Carey. They'll see both the cover and they're
(05:32):
really benny to read the story and now love on
their girl. And you may have a little girl with
done that boat like feeler or putty on the front
cover the book. Perhaps the buck out breathe it and
then has it, especially with her parents about the back back.
People who look different things will we all need to
be intimidated by. We all need to bully them or
(05:52):
judge them. But different things make us solo.
Speaker 4 (05:55):
We need to sell.
Speaker 6 (05:57):
Well.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
This is amazing, So I want to keep talking about
why this theme of embracing your natural hair is so important.
And for centuries, societal standards of beauty have favored European features,
the blue eyes, the light skin, the straight hair, which
has subsequently excluded and marginalized every other racist features and
deemed them lesser than quote unquote beautiful.
Speaker 6 (06:19):
Right.
Speaker 3 (06:20):
An example of this is the natural hair of black people.
In fact, a survey exploring the experiences women have related
to their hair found that black women experience much higher
levels of anxiety than white women regarding their hair, and
one in five Black women feel social pressure to actually
straighten their natural hair for work, which is twice as
(06:42):
many as white women. And so when you look back Historically,
Black women have been pressured to alter their hair due
to these discriminatory and narrow beauty standards, which can be detrimental,
and it's so detrimental to one's self esteem, especially as
a little girl, which is why I especially applaud you,
Nastasa for creating this book for children, because it's of
the utmost importance to teach them this lesson early on
(07:05):
to embrace their natural hair and ultimately who they are
despite these societal standards. So congratulations, very very well done. Now,
I know I has some questions, so I'll hand it
off to you, my dear.
Speaker 7 (07:16):
Yeah, and I want to say that too in maybe
a different way, that I love that Puffy is a character,
and I know that the subject of hair is a
lot deeper, it's a lot richer, I think in just
kind of bringing it all together and lacing it all together,
can you just talk a little bit about how you
hope to help everyone even if they don't even if
they're a boy, and you sort of answer this, but
(07:37):
even go a little further. If they don't look like
the character in the books, what do you hope that
will happen when they read this book?
Speaker 4 (07:44):
Yeah, that's a great stay.
Speaker 5 (07:47):
I would sell everyone be all in love with yourself.
Puffy is the character, right though, what would your out
here hot and your will hide? I'll need said, or
I don't feel like I'm not or I don't feel
it's pretty. Oh, you know, love on your natural hair instead,
(08:09):
love on yourself, fall in love with you.
Speaker 3 (08:12):
That's exacts. That's a great message. And I love particularly
all of this self love and the topic of self love.
It's so important these days, especially since it's estimated that
roughly eighty five percent of people worldwide, both adults and adolescents,
have very low self esteem. But I'm curious to know
what has the journey with your own hair been like,
(08:32):
and has writing this book will led you to any
discoveries about yourself.
Speaker 5 (08:36):
My younger self would be very proud the one that
I am today, she would luck up. It's been a
lot of journey. I started out going to look a
little just like that. My God, the rest of my
hair athletes early right at it's my hair is curly,
it's too big, it's to toughly, it's too meathy. I
(08:56):
felt like my hair funky. I would make have a
lot of I felt that I can that's my belt.
I would always feel like I got our tools that
not okay. And then years later, I my lig kind
had had enough and I decided to love on my pearl.
Speaker 4 (09:15):
I bowled by light.
Speaker 5 (09:18):
And I was signing brighter than ever. I'm thett comfortable
I with myself that ever bandy, I'm the love compoles
in my self that i'd rather band I. Yeah, I
allowed me to watch the world did that length. That's
definitely a self discovery and writing the children's slip.
Speaker 7 (09:36):
Happy well again, I thank you for giving us an
entry point into this topic because I think I've shared
with both of you that well, I can. I do
have curly hair. It's straight for a reason today, but
I've entered a classroom with a big name that sounded
like a disease. Anastasia was just the bane of my
existence when I had to change schools and stand there
(09:58):
and nobody knew that it was a cute Disney movie
back in the day.
Speaker 8 (10:01):
So, I mean, I feel like.
Speaker 7 (10:03):
This is important for kids to understand differences and that
you know, we can have a conversation about just that
and self love.
Speaker 8 (10:09):
It's beautiful.
Speaker 7 (10:10):
And so you're now going into schools and talking to
kids face to face, Can you talk a little bit
about their reaction to your book?
Speaker 5 (10:17):
Absolutely, the reactions when WoT not those things a.
Speaker 4 (10:23):
Thing burying me at Farwell.
Speaker 5 (10:25):
On back to where I need to be, because kids
think the book ftal and ignites curiosity. Stage on about
a little girl came up katting. She looked like, look
at my puppy bible to her curlian hair, and I
look like, yeah, beautiful and all she goes and puts
her horm theF and rabs it. It's okay, puffy, and
(10:47):
I'm like, wow. Right after the story time, she's already
talking to her hair and letting me deliriate.
Speaker 4 (10:52):
It's okay, but it's okay.
Speaker 5 (10:55):
And then I love at Harlo's Books Fair last weekend
and I had a woman you looked about my lock
up to my feedball Sarah cree crying wants life book
and she slowly like takes her phone and turns it
around and shows your share. She with the little girl
very hair, and it'll just like you have no idea
how much a little I wish a bot that looks
(11:20):
like a character that looks like me when I was younger.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
I love it and I know you've seen great success
with over well over two thousand copies sold and it's
in over thirty schools and businesses.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
But let's go back to the beginning.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
It's one thing to write a book, but it's another
to get it published and out into the world. So
you self published your book, which I can assume was.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
No easy feat.
Speaker 3 (11:43):
What was that process like and did you learn anything
about about this process that you could share with potential books?
Speaker 5 (11:49):
Felt publishing allows you to have a lot of creative
freedom and then creative control with the story that be
wild tell and that was probably my favorite art. But
I also tell people I told the mom this fair
last weekend in Brooklyn. She had the story she wants
to share about her daughter and her to America, and.
Speaker 4 (12:10):
It's olib heer. It is a lot of work.
Speaker 5 (12:12):
I think, what is a hurdle with the publishing and
discoverability If you want your book to sell and will
want your message to read to many people as possible,
to make an impact, really to be anywhere and everywhere.
So when I'm not pro writing an a sesia in
Little patient surgery setters on the platform wrap the book
(12:33):
fairs are reader thing that to reach back puffium at home,
wrapping the books, shipping them post off and bending email
spread amistrators on updating our special media platform, our website.
Speaker 4 (12:47):
You know that it's a lot of hard work.
Speaker 5 (12:51):
To felt published, but it's bought me a lot of
joy when you see the impact that your story. How
excited people are to get their hands on your book,
It's amazing.
Speaker 8 (13:02):
It's amazing.
Speaker 7 (13:03):
Do you and do you want to give a shout out?
Obviously you found a sense of purpose in this and
I love it. I want to give a shout out
to your next book title because I know you've got
that one right up your sleeve.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
Yeah, I do, Thank you. So I'm working on another book.
Speaker 5 (13:15):
Now to be my book to bring all I learned
publishing to this book. It is titled If you don't Know,
Just Ask. The inspiration is uh. I'm just always very
tickled in my interactions with the kids in my classroom visits,
the amount of questions they have and how curious they
are about the world.
Speaker 4 (13:35):
That they try to make sense of it.
Speaker 5 (13:38):
So this book really nurses gerofity, exploring the unknown, problevuel
confidently affable questions, try finally answers It reminds you that
affable questions. Is it just about uh backfinding, but that
it can help other passion or empathy. So this book
(13:59):
is a little Boy the same Cow and the love
that question all was really bad into saray.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Wow, I can't wait to see this new book and
when it's out next year, and you're going to have
quite an impressive following by then, like you as if
you don't already have that now, but you have an
impressive career and already and an anesthesiologist turned children's book
off herween that's a three sixty. And I want to
(14:28):
commend you because this experience, without a doubt of writing
and publishing these books, I can see has changed your
sense of purpose. From this very interview, thank you so
much for being here.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
You are beaming light and you are.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
Obviously going to be making a huge difference in the
lives of many children to come and really inspiring them
to love themselves and celebrate love. Thank you so much

Speaker 6 (15:52):
Welcome back, beautiful Tri State area.
Speaker 3 (15:54):
You're listening to a moment of Zen right here on
seven to ten WOR the Voice of New York iHeartRadio.
I'm your host zen Zam's up next in the Going
Deep segment, brought to you by CO two Lift and
our expert on the Microphone series. Today, we're exploring how
COEO two Lift is revolutionizing pre and postcare medical procedures,
diminishing bruising, reducing downtime and enhancing healing like never before.
(16:20):
The proprietary line of products include the CO two vaginal treatment,
proving to be a game changer and leader in female
sexual wellness therapies. Joining us today we have two incredible
experts who are leaders in the aesthetic industry. Dan is
a board certified medical aesthetics nurse practitioner, entrepreneur and founder
of dan Esthetics Medical, which is one of the most
(16:41):
rapidly growing and reputable aesthetics brands in Canada. He's educated
over a thousand physicians, nurses and dentists on advanced aesthetic
techniques through his educational platform. His fashion for elevating the
field is truly inspiring. And then we have Michelle Julian,
co founder and business partner at dan Esthetics Medical, with
over twenty years of experience in education, luxury brand management
(17:03):
and business development. They are a husband wife duo. Her
innovative vision has helped launched and grow the clinic into
one of the most successful in the field. We're thrilled
to have you both here today. Welcome to the show, Superstars.
Speaker 4 (17:16):
Thank you. How's it going.
Speaker 3 (17:18):
Let's talk about how CO two lift products are truly
changing the game when it comes to esthetic procedures.
Speaker 4 (17:24):
This is her specialty.
Speaker 3 (17:25):
So Dan, before we dive into the specifics, I want
to set the stage with some context for our listeners
and viewers. So, esthetic procedures like neuromodulators and fillers and
lasers are incredibly popular, with nearly three and a half
million neuromodulator procedures performed in the US in twenty two alone.
Speaker 4 (17:44):
In twenty twenty two.
Speaker 3 (17:45):
Alone, and it's interesting because the global energy based aesthetic
device market, including the US, was valued at approximately four
point eight billion dollars, so we know that this is
very potent. But post treatment downtime, bruising and swelling still
remain common challenges for patients and this is where the
CO two lift mask comes in, promising faster healing and
(18:07):
better results. So Dan, can you explain how CO two
lift products specifically benefit patients who seek laser treatments and
energy devices, or for those who are undergoing micro needling.
What's the science behind it and how does it optimize
or enhance these procedures.
Speaker 4 (18:23):
Okay, yeah, it's a great question.
Speaker 11 (18:24):
And by the way, what's amazing about this product is
it doesn't only focus for medical listytic providers. There's a
lot of people using this. A lot of the stars
are using this now. Just place it on their face
before going out, just to make sure they have this
great glow before going out to any event. It's kind
of like this secret of the industry because it's basically
pushing oxygen to the surface of the skin, making your
(18:47):
skin more radiant. And it also hydrates the skin significantly,
adding hydration by like one hundred and seventeen percent. So
that alone, right, we're not even talking about medical is significant.
Now if you're getting down to the science. Basically, what
happened is you've got like these two packages. I'm gonna
show you what they are. They're like these two goal packages.
One of them has bluconolate and the other one is
(19:07):
magnesium carbonate, And basically it's just two products that you
mix together and it creates this gel. But the gel
is actually medication. It's carbon dioxide, so that's why it's
called CO two lyft and then basically you place it
on the face and what happens is your body literally
infuses the carbon dioxide and your body's supposed to be
having this you know, balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
(19:31):
And when your body recognize, hey, wait a second, we're
getting a little bit too much carbon dioxide coming into
the surface of the skin, your body has this compensation
mechanism where basically it pushes oxygen rich blood by vase
by dilating the blood vessels of the skin and the
tissues around it, and it pushes this aucygen rich blood
to the surface. So if you think about it, what
(19:54):
happens whenever you have more oxygen rich blood to the surface,
it's going to promote healing. A lot of the people
might not beware, but whenever people go for plastic surgery,
a lot of the plastic surgeons will place them in
this chambers Kyle. It's called hyperbaric oxygen chamber therapy. And
what happens is in that chamber they're pushing oxygen to
that client, that patient, and the compression of oxygen helps
(20:16):
them heal faster, and essentially that's what this is. This
is like a topical form of hyperbaric auction chamber therapy
and you're placing it on the skin after whatever procedure
to minimize bruising a and at the same time promote
healing and at the same time increase hydration, so your
skin just looks incredible afterwards.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
That's a great trifecta. And speaking of quicker healing, statistics
show that the demand for non invasive treatments is expected
to grow by over fifteen percent annually by the year
twenty thirty. And this is largely due to innovations like this,
which minimize downtime, and that becomes more crucial than ever
when you're evaluating if you want to do these procedures. Now,
how do steal tool lift products help in reducing bruising
(20:56):
and swallowing post procedure And what have you seen with
your own patients in terms of their recovery time?
Speaker 11 (21:02):
So this is kind of like an elite product, right,
So this product is going to be designed for people
who want maximum healing with low down time. Typically the
healing process for a bruise is about fourteen days. If
you can significantly improve that or delay that or improve
that healing time by dropping it to about five to
(21:23):
six days. That's typically what we see whenever we're offering
the SEO two lift, right.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Yeah, Now, one of the reasons your clinic has been
so successful is your focus on education and cutting edge
techniques and supportant for patients to feel confident. I mean,
that's why they're getting the best care available.
Speaker 4 (21:39):
Right.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
So, someone who educates physicians and practitioners, how do you
incorporate CO two lift products into your training and really
how do you ensure the best patient outcomes?
Speaker 11 (21:51):
So what's really cool about this product is you know,
again it's not for everyone. I mean everyone can absolutely
use it, but you're going to usually have your elite
clients wanting to jump in on this because there's a
little bit of a cost for it, which is totally fine.
But we give patients the option of like kind of
like a good, better, best outcome. So if you have
a leak clients and they're saying, hey, by the way,
like I want the best outcome possible. Well, let's say
(22:14):
if you're looking at you know, laser therapy. You know,
if you're doing any type of laser often enough, you're
going to have some type of downtime, or if you're
doing micro kneeling radio frequency, sometimes you're going to have
some downtime, maybe a little redness, maybe inflammation, maybe some
you know, dark spots that are going to stay there
for a while. But this can really significantly cut down
your downtime and at the same time, they're going to
(22:35):
see visibly, like noticeably improved skin texture and quality and
hydration right off the bat. So these clients who want
the best of the best, this is who it's kind
of like primarily focused for. Again, everyone can absolutely use
this product. However, the clients who are going to say, listen,
I want the best, just give me the best.
Speaker 6 (22:55):
That's what this is for.
Speaker 4 (22:56):
Amazing, I love it.
Speaker 6 (22:58):
Now let's shift gears a little mission.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
I know you cat a very hands on role in
launching and growing Dandesthetics Medical and your expertise spans everything
from cosmetology to business strategy. But you're also a true
advocate for COEO two lift V, the vaginal rejuvenation treatment
that truly is changing lives, and we know that vaginal
health is essential. A twenty eighteen study by the North
(23:23):
American Menopause Society and twenty eighteen, it's so long time
found that fifty percent of postmenopausal women experience vaginal discomfort.
Speaker 4 (23:32):
So I'm going to assume that the statistics.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Are even higher and this is an area where CO
two lift V can make a huge difference. So Michelle,
can you share your personal experience with the CO two
lift V and what improvements did you notice? I mean,
how did it really benefit your vaginal health?
Speaker 8 (23:48):
So a little back story on me. I'm forty one now,
but two years ago I had a full hysterect to
me coldly, so I have no more hormones. Dan probably
makes more than me at the moment, all right, then,
So ill to say, it takes a long time to
get back onto the track after a surgery of that sort,
to sort of like sort out your own system and
(24:08):
to understand where you're sitting with your own hormones and
your own health. Things change incredibly a lot in your
forties anyway, but having to be thrown into full on
menopause at that age is like a war wind of
a hit by a train kind of situation. So everything
takes a hit. Your skin, oh, your head, your like,
(24:29):
your emotions, everything. So when before and as trying to
figure that out and really understanding what menopause or homelones is, Like,
I think it's difficult to sort of talk about it,
but now big you said your stature from twenty eighteen,
but now I think in the last year in particular,
there's a huge push for understanding what women are going
(24:51):
through even before you hit menopause. I think that's even
a bigger hit. Our clinic primarily is women, with a
lot of men as well, but women, and often enough,
when they sit with me before they see Dan, we
have a chit chat and they know this of me
because it doesn't I don't hide the fact that I've
had in a menopause, and when they start sharing their story,
(25:12):
we start talking about intimate conversations as to like you say,
vaginal dryness, painful, painful sex. Also, I also disconnect with
their partner because they don't understand what's happening with themselves
and and it's difficult to get in to see your
physicians and to ask for help or not even knowing
that there is other options. So that's when this came
(25:33):
to us. Wilble with this year, I got to have
a treatment with the CO two left V and it's
been incredibly changing actually down to partner health, less pain
on a daily basis, less dryness for sure. It's just
been really a changer for that.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
Well, you know you're not alone and think now it
increase number of women are seeking these treatments to regain
their confidence and confluent and their comfort.
Speaker 4 (26:06):
And up to seventy.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
Percent of women who experience vaginal discomfort they don't seek
treatment often because they're not aware of the non invasive solutions,
or they find shame and addressing it or talking about it.
So I think what you're doing is extremely proprietary. Now
from your business perspective, Michelle, how have you seen the
demand for vaginal rejuvenation evolve over the years and are
more women seeking out treatments like seal two lift. What
(26:30):
feedback have you have you been receiving?
Speaker 8 (26:32):
Well, I don't know if you've ever been to the
pharmacy to see if you know you have symptoms for yourself,
Like you know, I experiencing pain, you go to the
pharmacy and it's usually for like an itch, Well nobody,
yes that's a thing, But like when you're in pain
and you don't know that there's options whether it be
hormony in a medication or now this this is fairly
(26:54):
new to the market, and I don't think anyone really
understands the magnitude of what it can do for you.
I think it's imperative that women understand that we have
a lot of options, want more options now, and to
chat about it. And nobody really chats about it still,
so it's kind of new. I think women are kind
of scared to talk about it until you sort of
open the door and say, hey, this is here. That's
(27:15):
been kind.
Speaker 11 (27:16):
Of changing for us my end as well, so my
background as nurse practitioners through primary care before this and
in primary care. It's really interesting when it comes down
to you know, let's look at someone going through menopause, perimenopause,
they're no tests for it. Like basically the only diagnostic
tests that you can do is like a follicle stimulating
(27:37):
normone f s SH, and that hormone will only show
that it's s low once you're in full menopause. So
if you're feeling it, if you're in perimenopause, when you're
experiencing these real symptoms, there's.
Speaker 4 (27:46):
No test for it.
Speaker 11 (27:47):
You know, you can do a bunch of other like
lunizing hormone tests and all that, but they usually always
come back normal. And for primary care practitioners such as
nurse practitioners and physicians and even in PAS, sometimes they
have to go like the metal body really regulates what
you're doing. So they're going to say, hey, you can't
prescribe anything if they're outside of these If they're within
the norms. If they're outside the norms, go ahead. But
(28:09):
if they're in the norm and they're experiencing these symptoms,
that means the primary care providers are not going to
be really offering anything. Most of the time they offer
them anti dubressas. So it's tough because people are kind
of like shaming the physicians, but the visitians are like,
our hands are tiely, you know, what are we supposed
to do? We can do this, but there's a little
bit of our risk boils well, like.
Speaker 8 (28:26):
We're like, you know, I went to my doctor and
it told her how was a feeling, and she's like, well,
there's there's nothing you can do. And then I found
this and I was like, wow, okay.
Speaker 11 (28:35):
Yeah, so now you have an auction that's non hormonal.
It works and like I said, even if you're placing
it on the face, it increases hydration by one hundred
and seventeen percent visibly, right, So to go back to
not even vasual treatments. So if you're just if you
have fine lines on your skin, a little bit more mature,
even if you're younger, this is like the best thing
to do. You just place it on your skin three times,
once a night, and you're gonna, like, you'll be floored.
(28:57):
All our patients who do, our clients that come in
and they trive for three like this is the best
thing ever. Everyone needs to know about this. Yeah, Now
imagine doing that intravationally. You're increasing hydration one hundred and
seventeen percent and you're actually you know, for me personally
through experience from sex, like there is I think the
difference is night and day. I agree, And that's without hormone.
(29:19):
Now you can use that with or with complimentary hormones,
and it's great.
Speaker 3 (29:22):
Yeah, It's clear that taking care of ourselves goes beyond
just the surface, and these products are really really empowering
women to feel their best. And the more we talk
about it, the more we can read the stigma around
and you know, female sexual health or you mystifying sexual stigmas. Now, lastly, Michelle,
what advice would you give to women who are on
the fence about trying ZEO to lift V What can
(29:45):
they expect from the treatment, the process and the results.
Speaker 6 (29:48):
What did it feel like? What did you immediately need
this difference?
Speaker 8 (29:51):
So I did fifteen treatments, so it's five nights on,
two nights off, five nights on, two nights off, five nights.
It is a little gunky, I'm not going to disclose
that it's not. It's not super gliaborous. You have to
sit for an hour. You can walk but around, but
it's kind of awkward, But it's an hour of me time.
(30:12):
Rarely I got to sit and read or watch an
episode of whatever I like. And that's it, Like, there's
no downfall to it. Really, it's just having to spend
an hour on your own and then so that's a
really a moment to really reflect and the benefit. It
takes away most of my symptoms. So why why wouldn't
you want to try it? It is just to let
(30:34):
women understand that you have another option, and a quick option,
like you don't have to wait for your physician to
prescribe to you an internal hormones. Now it could be
an adjunct obviously, so there's different reasons for different things.
But this is something a starter point anyway to get
you going and then seek more if there's more other
things happening.
Speaker 11 (30:53):
You know, you know it's crazy. Men and can also
use this as a vasa dilator if they want to
put it on their penis. So if they're your insirect
out of this function, right, maybe it's because they're not
getting quite the amount of blood flow as they were before.
You literally put it on your penis to sit there
and it works like biagar.
Speaker 4 (31:08):
It's crazy.
Speaker 11 (31:09):
So the other thing you can do too, which you
know a lot of people are doing, is they will
their partner Michelle will put it and keep it in
there for you know, forty five minutes an hour, and
then after that we can ask sex with it inside it.
It's completely fine and it's great.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
Yes, and I love that you guys are a husband,
wife and dull you can really consult your patients from
your own perspective.
Speaker 8 (31:29):
Perspective, Yeah, from your own experience.
Speaker 3 (31:32):
We are at the end of this incredible, very transparent,
very informative session. I can't thank you both enough for
coming on and chatting with us. It's true, truly, truly
heartwarming to see how you guys work so nicely together today.

mean nineteen It's it's crazy. So we've been together, you know,
twenty five years, and honestly, it definitely has had an
impact on a U with our sexual relationship and UH professions. Professionally,
it definitely has as well. So clients are happy, we're happy.

Speaker 4 (34:42):
Welcome to the show, Superstars.
Speaker 6 (34:44):
Hey welcome, Hi Doctor a Brara.
Speaker 12 (34:47):
Thank you, thank you for having me. I'm excited to
be here today.
Speaker 3 (34:51):
It's our pleasure to doctor Ava, thank you so much
for joining. You've built quite an impressive career in medicine
while maintaining a busy personal life, and you've been very
transparent about this on social media. And interestingly enough, a
Doximity report revealed that around seventy percent of doctors are
now active on social media, using it as a tool
(35:15):
to connect with patients and the public. So this is
definitely a generational shift as doctors traditionally kept their personal
lives private. What impact has your social media presence had
on your business and how do you feel it helps
foster more engaged in just in community.
Speaker 12 (35:31):
Well, I started in our social media journey, believe it
or not, around twenty nineteen, so a little bit before
the pandemic started, and a lot of people start write
things on a journal to inspire themselves. I just started
my journey on social media as a way to inspire
myself by putting out positive things out there and then
going back and reading it and inspiring myself. And I
(35:53):
got a bigger response from other people about it, and
that kind of made me continue to just put things
out there because I like to inspire, to educate and
empower women, and that's really in the nutshell.
Speaker 4 (36:04):
How I started my social media journey.
Speaker 12 (36:07):
Not so long before the pandemic, and right on the pandemic,
was when a lot of people were curious about what
was happening. They had questions about the virus and a
lot of things happening with the frontliners, and so a
lot of doctors were putting more things on social media
than before.
Speaker 3 (36:26):
Okay, doctor Daisy, this is a perfect time for you
to come in. As someone who's been in the field just.
Speaker 4 (36:31):
A little bit longer. You've seen the landscape change and now.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
Historically doctors kept a certain level of privacy, but today
transparency is key to connecting with the modern audience. I'm curious,
how do you see this shift in openness on social
media among doctors and how has it affected your practice
and relationships with patients.
Speaker 6 (36:50):
I've been practicing for seventeen years, so I have had
established business, never was online, didn't really know anything about
social media. You really didn't coming to my radar in
twenty twenty when everybody was sitting at home or I
was in here in my office and I could only
do obstetrics and everything else in my practice was shut down,
and I was like, oh, there's social media, and the
(37:12):
irony is that in my practice. Actually had on my
manual my staff you're not allowed to be on Facebook, Snapchat, tweeter,
because I saw it as it's not good for the practice.
For whatever they do off the practice and brought it
here and I just didn't like that energy. And I
was like, no, none of that in the practice. So
I was very much like, keep that abrace, let's focus
(37:34):
on work, focus on the patient. And then twenty twenty
happened and I was like, oh, what is this thing?
What is Instagram?
Speaker 4 (37:41):
What is that?
Speaker 6 (37:42):
And for me it's been what four years now, I'm
embracing it, but not I think today extent like doctor
Evil or other younger doctors, why I just see there completely.
Everything is out there and to each toe. So my personality,
I think I'm more reserved.
Speaker 4 (38:00):
Akay.
Speaker 3 (38:01):
So following up on that, what advice would you give
to younger doctors who are navigating exactly this the fine
line between sharing just enough to build trust.
Speaker 6 (38:10):
With their audience and keeping some parts of their lives private.
Speaker 12 (38:14):
I think setting clear boundaries, you know, trying to figure
out exactly what are you trying to accomplish with your
media account. You can still be authentic while at the
same time not having to share everything about your personal life.
And so setting up those clear boundaries about what it
is that you're trying to convey, what it is that
(38:34):
you're trying to do with your social media page will
really make things a lot clearer or people trying to
navigate that world. Also making sure that HIPPA, you know,
we still have HIPPA is to have patient reality, so
you also know too much about patients identity, age, or
(38:55):
anything that can be identifiable to a patient. Because I
get you in trouble, but I still think that social
media is more positive than negative because you have a
way of reaching out to a broader audience. You have
a way of teaching more people and showing more people
what it's really like to be a woman who's a professional,
(39:16):
who's trying to manage multiple facets of her life, who's
trying to who's trying to waste a family, who try
to have a business, so trying to see page. So
I think it's a lot of positive trying to show
the younger generation what it's like to be able to
maneuver all of these things.
Speaker 4 (39:33):
And do it well.
Speaker 6 (39:35):
I think I call social media the yellow Pages of
today's time, and the yellow Pages is creating content constantly.
In our time, the yellow page, you just ride your
office in your location and the phone number and that
was it. Now you have to create content and keep
it going. And you know, I agree with you. I
think there's a lot of positive in it if you
(39:56):
approach it the right way, you know, use it in
the right form and right medium. But staying true to yourself,
I think really boils onto a personality, you know. And
I think for me it's funny because I still sew
my patients on social media.
Speaker 4 (40:09):
They have known me for seventeen years.
Speaker 6 (40:11):
I have to be the same doctor they known and
the same person aligned I can all of a sudden.
Speaker 4 (40:17):
Come with this.
Speaker 6 (40:17):
I call it what your very spacial fears personality is Like,
wait a minute, that's not you, Daisy, you did It's true.
Speaker 3 (40:24):
And speaking of balance, you're also an author, right, so
I'm going to go back to this and a dedicated
professional in the medical field. And according to Men'scape, we
have about forty five percent of physicians that report burnout,
so this is a severe thing. Women are more prone
to it.
Speaker 4 (40:39):
Than men.
Speaker 3 (40:40):
How do you manage to balance the demands of your
medical career with your personal life and creative.
Speaker 4 (40:45):
Outlets because you're also an author.
Speaker 12 (40:48):
Well, it comes down to really trying to cultivate the
multiple sides of me. I always say that medicine is
what I do, and medicine is not who I am.
Still me, I'm still a girly girl who likes to travel,
who likes to go out with my friends, who likes
to spend time with my family. I also have passions
(41:08):
for my patience, and so trying to cultivate the multiple
personalities that I have without feeling bad about it and
knowing that it's okay. It's normal to want to have
a life outside of medicine and not feel ashamed. I
think there's a stereotype out there where people think that
once you go into medicine as a woman, your life
(41:30):
is over. You're not gonna have time to waity thing,
You're not gonna have time to have a family if
that's what you wish to do. You're not gonna have
time to do anything outside of medicine.
Speaker 6 (41:39):
And I want to.
Speaker 8 (41:39):
Break that mold and show people that it's not true.
Speaker 12 (41:42):
Because I'm leaving proof that you can still be a
successful physician and still have a successful personal life as well.
Speaker 4 (41:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (41:51):
I think in general, medicine was very traditional in this
outlook on women and basically put women in this narrow books.
Speaker 4 (42:00):
You know.
Speaker 6 (42:01):
And I think it's really nice to see this young
female surgeons just being out there and I see a
surgeon because that's the one specialty in medicine that was
the most restrictive for women to do certain things. So
when I see these young teama surgeons on social media
going out and just putting all the different pacet of themselves,
I'm like, yes, that's how it should be.
Speaker 4 (42:22):
You guys speak the same language.
Speaker 3 (42:23):
Now, many women still feel uncomfortable discussing sexual wellness even
with their doctors. But I want to really address this
because this is at the heart of it all. Doctor Ava,
you have an incredible practice. How do you approach these
conversations in your practice and what steps can can other
doctors take to help remove the stigma surrounding female sexual help.
Speaker 12 (42:45):
I think as positions a lot of times, and it's
part of the training they teach you to suppress your
other sides of you and so just remain that professional
which is important. But at the same time you will
also you and you have to learn how to connect
with your patients that are standing in front of you.
(43:05):
So what I do is I try to just lower
my guards, cultivate trust because that's also very important, cultivate relatability,
and just letting my patients know, look, I'm human, just
like I think.
Speaker 6 (43:21):
It's easy too when you have a solo practice or
you're in a private practice. You know, because your position,
if you're employed by a hospital or you have a
group practice, your time is kind of limited. It's your
expectation and and then and all these core measures you
have to need, and sometimes it interferes with that patient position,
relationship and time available to really bond and give them
(43:44):
what they want. But you know, when you're in a
solo practice or a private practice, it's a bit different.
You know, you kind of set the tempo and the
speed and the time with that particular woman to address
her sexual needs and my experience here. You know, it's
like when they're coming here, they know there's seen a diecologist.
I think it's a little bit different because that conversation
is already about that area, so they are more relaxed
(44:07):
and at east to ask the question, and then you,
the surgeon or the position, determine how relaxed they will
be when it's one on one.
Speaker 4 (44:15):
Did I feel like they can just talk to.
Speaker 6 (44:17):
You or they have to hide back the feelings?
Speaker 4 (44:20):
Yeah, without a doubt.
Speaker 3 (44:21):
And I want to go back to addressing something that
is I think extremely important that I've noticed it something
that you both are very well known for doing. So
let's talk about strength training. It's such an empowering activity
for women, doctor Ava. How has this impacted your health
and what would you say to women looking to redefine
their strength through physical activity.
Speaker 12 (44:43):
I think when I left residency, I really wasn't the
person that I am today. I was drenched in medicine
twenty four to seven. I come home and still have
notes to write, emails Tenser, and then one day I
decided that I wanted to set some boundaries, and those
boundaries included leaving work at work and coming home to
(45:04):
focus on my family and also finding time for me.
As women, we are so used to putting everybody else first.
We don't put ourselves first, and being a physician means
even more of that. Because you thought that your patients
come first, your family comes second, and you come last.
And I didn't want to do that anymore. And so
(45:26):
that's when I decided to put some time for me
on my schedule. Because on my schedule the kids had
a space, my husband had a space, even my pets
had a space. I had more space for me, and
so I decided to put gym time into my schedule,
and over time I realized how amazing it was for
my mental and my physical health.
Speaker 6 (45:47):
Right, that's really good. I think one of the reason
why I went into private practice solo, not group, for
that reason alone. Because I was in control of my
plan and my time. I could easily say, Okay, today
I'm going to leave the clinic at three because I
have to go and pick up my daughter, or I
have to do this with her, or I have to
(46:07):
do something. And I didn't have to talk to anyone.
Speaker 4 (46:10):
It was just me.
Speaker 6 (46:11):
So I did trend the.
Speaker 4 (46:12):
Flow of my practice that flows my schedule.
Speaker 6 (46:15):
And the irony is that your patients, when they know
that it's only you, they always see you. They are understanding.
And that's what I learned was a secret sauce with
this was even with the obji and I have to
go with deliver. They understood, They're like, you know what,
I know, she's my doctor. I'm gonna wait. And it
was just a different feeling. And I'm grateful that I
didn't have that, you know, join a practice or join
(46:35):
a hospital and along the way I have to be like,
oh God, my time is taken. I have nothing left.
Never experience that, and I I hope not too.
Speaker 4 (46:45):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (46:46):
Now, one last question here, or maybe two last questions,
if we have time. Mentorship is such a key part.
Speaker 6 (46:52):
Of growth in any field, without.
Speaker 3 (46:55):
A doubt, but especially in medicine. How do you mentor
younger women in the field, and what's your message to
those facing barriers is they try to build their medical careers.
Speaker 12 (47:04):
I just think that it's very important to be as
relatable as possible and as honest as possible about the journey,
because I see a lot of people on social media
only showing the positive, the good parts, and not talking
about the negative and the bad parts. So I just
want to let the younger generation know that, yeah, it's
a fulfilling career, it's amazing to take care of other
(47:27):
people and help them along their journey. But then at
the same time, there are a lot of roadblocks, there's
a lot of barriers, there's a lot of ups and downs,
and that is a part of the journey. And so
by putting that out there, I'm just setting the tone
to let them know that they're not alone and facing
(47:47):
whatever they're facing. And I'm also very open, you know.
I answer my DMS, I answer my emails, I get
on the phone with people sometimes, I get on zoom
calls when I can, and I answer as many questions
as I possibly can and to kind of help them
along their journey. We need more women in this field,
especially minority women, and so I'm hoping to, you know,
(48:10):
switch that stereotype out there so that more of us
could be in this field in the near future.
Speaker 6 (48:16):
Yeah, I think that's really good what you're doing, doctor Eva.
I mean I really commend, I say, the younger social
media doctors, because in our time, if you did half
of what was going on now, you'd be written up
or getting some calls somewhere next to you know, you're
in some.
Speaker 4 (48:30):
Big trouble, right.
Speaker 6 (48:32):
But I wanted to ask you what inspire you to
write your book and how did you find the time
to dedicate and create that creative, Jewish atrogant.
Speaker 12 (48:41):
So Paging Doctor you step by step guide to becoming
a doctor is literally a guide written in very simple
words for any kid that that's even as young as twelve.
Because after I left residency and looking back at my
journey and a lot of things that I had to
(49:02):
go through I thought were normal that they made you think.
Speaker 4 (49:06):
Was normal were not normal.
Speaker 12 (49:09):
And also looking back, there weren't a lot of people
that look like me, right, And so I wanted to
kind of change the narrative again. Why is that. It's
not because when I'm smart. It's because I feel the
system is meant to fail us. And that's truly what
I feel. And I wanted to write a simple guy
(49:29):
to let others know exactly what they need to do
as fairly as possible to position themselves for success.
Speaker 4 (49:36):
Very nice.
Speaker 6 (49:36):
I just have one thing before you go, Okay, So
the tackline for the podcast is and where ambition makes empowerment.
So the one question I have for you is what
is the one ball step you have taken in your
career or life that truly embodies your ambition and empowered
you to get where you are today?
Speaker 12 (49:58):
Probably the realization that I matter. You know, I think
throughout my whole career it was more so everybody else
matters more than you. Your patients matter more than you,
your family matters more than you, everything else. So you soul,
(50:18):
you thought to just be out there and serve and
serve and serve and not accept anything in return. And
so when I realized that I mattered, I started making
some changes, and a lot of those changes included putting
some time for myself, utilizing my resources, and not doing
(50:39):
everything by myself, including nanny services people to come and
clean the house, anything that would free up some of
my time, and also being okay with saying no. I
didn't know how to say no before, and now I
can say no a lot easier.
Speaker 4 (51:00):
Which is very empirering for me.
Speaker 6 (51:03):
Nice Well, we are officially at the end of this
incredible interview.

Speaker 8 (52:19):
Hi, I'm Emili Hayden.
Speaker 13 (52:20):
I'm the host of the Evolved the Podcast, Personal Coach
and Mentor. Now we've all had those seasons in our
life where it feels like nothing is working out. You
don't get the job, the relationship doesn't work out, and
it feels like the things around you are crumbling. This
can feel like a very disempowered place to be in
if you have the core belief and if it's part
of your language a thought process, that nothing works out
(52:43):
for me and the world as it gets to me.
I know that it can feel that way when you
were just getting disappointment after disappointment. But let me tell
you what you allowing that to be a part of
your language and your thought process is actually keeping you
stuck in this disempowered place. So today I'm here to
help you move into an empowered place that can create
a different reality for yourself. Now, the way that we
(53:03):
can do that is by shifting that belief that nothing
works out for me too. Now having this affirmation of
belief that everything is always working out for me, what
this does is it spikes curiosity and a potential hope
for the future. So, in a real life example, it
would look like you don't get the job or you
get fired from the job. One way of navigating that
(53:24):
in a disempowered place would be nothing ever works out
for me. This always happens, And that feels heavy, It
feels frustrating and being in a heavy, frustrated place is
not going to allow you to take positive, inspired action. Now,
you could go through the same exact example of losing
a job and instead say, Wow, I wonder how this
is working out for me because you have the core
(53:46):
belief it's always working out for me. Now you're curious
and you're interested. I wonder how, I wonder what is
next for me? I wonder what this is preparing me for.
I wonder why space is being created in my life
right now. I wonder what incredible job opportunity I'm going
to get next. And I wonder how the job that
I just had actually prepared me for where I'm going next.
(54:08):
So you see how simply a shift in your thought
process and your beliefs can create an entire different thought
process which allows you to show up differently for yourself.
It allows you to show up in an empowered, excited,
curious place. Your energy truly does dictate the way you think,
the way you speak, and the way that you show
up in your own life. So today I hope that
(54:29):
you guys will really think and analyze am I in
a disempowered place or in an empowered place? And if
you're in a disempowered place, We've all been there, but
now this is your opportunity to check yourself. What are
those real beliefs, those core beliefs that you have that
are dictating the way that you see, what it is
that you're going through, and could you invite yourself into
(54:49):
more of an empowered place so that you can take inspired,
aligned action and get excited, curious.
Speaker 4 (54:54):
And helpful for your future.

Have you ever wondered what life might be like if you stopped worrying about being wanted, and focused on understanding what you actually want? That was the question Hope Woodard asked herself after a string of situationships inspired her to take a break from sex and dating.

Now, Hope is looking to expand the ways we explore our relationship to relationships. Taking a bold, unfiltered look into modern love, romance, and self-discovery, Boysober will dive into messy stories about dating, sex, love, friendship, and breaking generational patterns—all with humor, vulnerability, and a fresh perspective.
