April is Autism Awareness Month, a time when we amplify
the voices of families, researchers, and clinicians working tirelessly to
support the more than one in thirty six children in
the US diagnosed with autism.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
And that's according to the latest data from the CDC.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Today, we're going to be joined by a groundbreaking force
in the world of developmental neuroscience, doctor Robert Malillo. He's
a clinician, a professor, a brain researcher, and the best
selling author of Disconnected Kids, which is now in its
third edition and translated into sixteen languages.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
But more than anything, doctor Milillo is a change maker.
He's the creator of the Malillo Method and co.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Founder of Brain Balance Achievement Centers, where his work focuses
on rewiring the brain through non invasive, multimodal approaches. His
focus not managing symptoms, but addressing root causes, and that
includes autism spectrum disorders. This conversation is going to be
brought to you by your Home TV, committed to delivering
meaningful programming that inspires families everywhere. Today we're chatting rewiring autism.
(04:46):
Can the brain change the diagnoses? A powerful look at
how brain based interventions are reshaping our understanding of autism
spectrum disorders. Welcoming now to the show is the incredible
doctor Robert Milillo.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
Welcome, superstar, Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
Jen.
Speaker 6 (05:01):
I'm excited to be here, so.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Excited to have you on, so doctor Mililo.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Today we see an autism diagnosies happening earlier than ever,
with children being screened as young as eighteen months. And
while early intervention is crucial, many parents feel truly overwhelmed
by the medical jargon and limited.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
To behavioral therapies.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
But your work points to a different starting place the brain.
So can you walk us through what's actually happening neurologically
in a child with autism.
Speaker 6 (05:30):
One of the things that's not happening in the vast
majority is there is no damage or injury in the brain.
There is no genetic mutation. Most of the time, those
things are misconceptions. And really it starts with that. You know,
from my experience, everyone that's on the autism spectrum, whether
they range from high functioning to non speaking, which is
(05:52):
the majority of what we work with, they really have
these genius level skills, every one of them, especially their
left brains. And so what the problem is is actually
this developmental immaturity, delay and imbalance that starts in early childhood,
and that creates this developmental imbalance between the right and
(06:15):
left hemisphere networks, and there's not the proper communication that
should happen. So it's really just a deviation of normal
growth and that can be changed.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
Actually, wow, that's fascinating.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
So instead of seeing autism as purely behavioral, you're saying
it's more about how different areas of the brain are
or aren't communicating with each other, and that's a totally
different lens, and so it's empowering for parents to hear
this perspective.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
Now I'm going to move.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
On to a stat The CDC notes that boys are
nearly four times more likely to be diagnosed with autism
than girls. But many experts say girls often go undiagnosed
because they present differently, more internalized symptoms if you will,
and stronger masking behaviors if not.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
So, what does science say here? Is this a brain
based difference between genders.
Speaker 6 (07:04):
Yeah, there's definitely a brain based difference between genders, But
it also has to do with the way that it's
all about brain development. And again it all comes down
in neurology and neuroscience. It's not these are not behavioral issues,
they're not psychological. They are neuro science neuroanatomy issues, and
they start in development and boys and girls' brains differ
(07:25):
greatly when we start out. What most people don't realize
is that the basic blueprint of the body in the
brain is a female and then we need to be
converted to the male brain by the right amount of
hormones at the right time and anything that may you know,
that means that the boys' brains are more vulnerable. Males
(07:45):
tend to be a little bit more right brain dominant
and dependent than females. Women have. In general, female brains
have a larger what we call corpus colosum, and they
have a more symmetrical brain, and they tend to have
naturally better communication between brain networks, and they tend to
multitask a little bit better than male brains. But also
(08:08):
because these are developmental delays and immaturity, the male brain
normally takes longer to mature. So now if we have
anything that interferes with that development, it has more of
an impact on a male brain than a female brain.
And so that's why, you know, we believe we're seeing
a lot more males than females, But it doesn't mean
(08:30):
it doesn't happen in females, because it does.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Now, you've worked with thousands of children in families. One
of the most controversial but intriguing ideas you've put forth
is that autism in some cases can be reversed or
significantly improved. And that statement challenges conventional thinking. So what
does the data behind your method actually show and how
can you define quote unquote reversal.
Speaker 6 (08:51):
In this context, we especially work with a lot of
non speaking individuals and obviously, you know, understanding and why
they don't speak, that's been one of my really searches
for the last twenty five years. No one's ever really
answered that what is actually preventing them from speaking when
certain errors of their brain seem to be you know, overactive,
(09:14):
like causing ticks or stimming behavior or hyperactivity or OCD
or increase with you know, maybe sometimes aggression or anger
or certain anxieties or all of those things are overactive.
When they may have deficits in the right side of
the brain which make them less connected to their body,
they don't feel things quite as much at the at
(09:36):
the non speaking end of it, and that really is
the source of them not being able to speak. They
have all the words there, but they can't get it out. So,
you know, when we talk about changing this, you know,
there's all different varieties. Again, when we have really high
functioning people that are on the autism spectrum, you know,
many of them feel, listen, I'm good, I don't need
any help, and that's great, and they're brilliant people and
(09:59):
they're good. That's fine, But you know, when you have
individuals that can't speak, can't communicate, and we find ways
of being able to spell with them on a letter board.
And it's really remarkable because many of these kids that
sometimes they don't think they even know how to recognize
a letter, and then when they can spell on a
letter board or sometimes an iPad or some other device,
(10:21):
they may know full sentences or actually be fully verbal
and they tell us, you know, please help me speak,
I want to speak so badly, or I want to
stop stimming, I want to stop ticking. So the fact
is we can change all of that because there is
no damage, there is no injury. The fact that people
say that you can't do anything about it is because
(10:41):
they don't know how the brain works. I've spent my
whole career really understanding and I think I understand it
as well as anybody. I've researched it, written about it,
and also work with tens of thousands of kids. And
you know, it can be changed. But really it's up
to them and their family as to, you know, what
they want to do about it. And we're not trying
to change them. We're just trying to bring out the
(11:03):
best version of the individual, and if there are certain
things there that have interfered with their normal development of
their brain and caused these imbalances, then as wonderful and
as amazing as they are, what we see is not
the best version of them. And we just want to
bring that out. And what we're able to do quite
often is not take away their genius, but give them
(11:26):
their voice. And I think everybody would agree that that's
a wonderful thing. If we can do that.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
That's beautiful.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
You just made me tear up because you said something
that was extremely impactful.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
When a child says to you, please help me speak.
I mean that just floored me as a mom right there.
And you see this all day every day.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
And the only way they're communicating please help me speak
is through that device that otherwise wouldn't have been there
if we weren't as advanced in technology. So imagine how
isolated these poor children feel. And what's incredibly hopeful but
grounded is that it's all about this neuroplasticity, which we
know is a very real phenomenon, right, and it's important
for parents to understand that like change doesn't have to
(12:04):
mean perfection, it can just mean progress.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
Now, parents often ask you know what caused this, And.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
While genetics certainly play some level of role, so many
environmental factors are now under the microscope. So you've talked
about the role of immune function and inflammation and even
gut health. What's the most compelling link between these symptoms
and the development of autism spectrum disorders in your in
your perspective.
Speaker 6 (12:28):
Yeah, the most compelling link is that you know, this
is definitely driven by environmental factors. It's not genetic mutations,
and you know, so that's why it is. It is changeable.
We can change that gene expression because the genes aren't damaged.
But again, the misconception that it also starts in the
gut and it starts with inflammation is not correct. It
(12:50):
actually starts in the brain stem. It starts in the brain,
and it starts with maturity and the imbalance of what
we call the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system. And this
leads to work that I've done, and I published more
than anybody in the world right now on something called
retain primitive reflexes. So these are reflexes that we're all
born with that should be there even before we're born,
(13:11):
that help the baby develop in the first year. And
you know, the human brain is unique. Our brain is
the only brain on the planet that eighty percent of
our development happens outside of the womb. No other animal
has to do that. And so how we go through
the development looking at those milestones, you know, d during
(13:32):
the pandemic, the CDC was actually getting much more lax
with that and saying it doesn't matter. Kids develop at
all different ages in all different ways, and it doesn't
matter if they crawl unusually they don't crawl, or they
skip crawling, or if they walk late. That's not true.
It really should be very strict, So paying attention to
that looking at those early milestones. We have a paper
(13:54):
coming out this month that is going to be coming
out in a major pediatric clinical journal where we're you know,
they asked us to write a paper on the fact
that looking at these things called retain reflexes and how
they relate to milestones as a biomarker of neurodevelopmental issues,
which means that we can now recognize these things really
(14:14):
early on. The first milestone is can the baby latch
on if the mom decides the breastfeed and if they
don't right off the bat, we might see a red
flag and be able to intervene really really early.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Now, April is all about awareness, but awareness without direction
can sometimes leave families feeling really stuck. So if a
parent listening right now is just dealing with that new
diagnosis or feels their child is struggling with these developmental delays,
what's one first step you recommend they take toward better
understanding the brain behind the behavior.
Speaker 6 (14:48):
Really, just you know, trying to educate yourself on actually
looking at brain and brain science and neuroscience, because you're
going to hear a lot of things. You're going to
hear that you know, nobody knows what's going on. You're
going to no one's even going to tell you that.
Most the first question I asked most families when they
come all over the world to New York here to
see me, is has anybody tried to explain to you
(15:08):
what's happening in your child's brain? The answer is always no,
And the reason why is because they don't know, and
yet you know they'll tell you, but there's nothing you
can do about it even though they don't know what
the problem is. And that's what drove me on This
was my own son was diagnosed with ADHD, and I
went out and wanted to search as to what the
answer was. And I already knew a lot about neurology
(15:29):
and the brain, and people kept on saying, well, we
don't know what it is, but we know there's nothing
you can do about it. So the idea is to
really understand that these are neurological developmental issues. And people
will say there's nothing you can do about it, but
that's not true. And it's not that it's easy, and
it's not that it's not frustrating and scary, and a
(15:49):
lot of people will be told, well, listen, just learn
to accept it. This is it, this is your fate
in life, and you know, and just come to that
acceptance point. And I understand. It's not that we don't
want to accept these individuals and these children and people
for who they are, because they're amazing. But I would
say that, you know, I don't think acceptance is really
the way to go. I think there are things that
(16:10):
can be really, really helpful, and I think reading my
book would be a really good first step. We've included
a lot of our new research, and again we published
papers on this in the best journals in the world
and showed that, you know, we can change these things
and we can actually see differences in the brain before
and after, so you know, don't lose hope. You know,
educate yourself understanding that it is a brain issue and
(16:33):
learn more about it, and then you know, seek out
the right help.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
That's such practical calming advice, especially for parents in that
panic phase you know after a diagnosis. Knowing that there's
a path forward and that it starts with curiosity about
your child's brain is everything. We are officially out of time,
We've got so over the clock.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
But I love talking to you and I could just
do I could do this all day because you're.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
So brilliant and you explain things so well, and I
learn every time you come on the show, learn something.
Speaker 6 (17:01):
Thank you very much. It's a pleasure to talk to
you too.
Speaker 3 (17:03):

Speaker 3 (19:07):
She's a frequent speaker at international medical aesthetic conferences and

she's brought her expertise to our show to chat all
about the most popular injectable trends in Canada, evolving patient
preferences and how CO two lift fits into her treatment plans.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
Welcome to the show, Superstar.
Speaker 7 (19:28):
Thank you so much, Zen for the wonderful introduction. I'm
so happy to be here.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
So excited to have you on.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Let's dive right in, so, Julie, you are renowned for
your expertise in natural rejuvenation and full facial balancing, with
a commitment to delivering transformative yet natural looking results. Fittingly,
in recent years, we've seen a noticeable shift in the
aesthetic industry, with patients prioritizing those subtle refinements and enhancing
(19:55):
their natural features rather than that dramatic, overdone look of
the past. Based on your experience, where do you think
this more natural preference is stemming from and do you
find aesthetic ideals varying between Canadian and American clients.
Speaker 7 (20:09):
I believe this stems from a few cultural shifts. First
being that patients are more self aware, they're more educated,
They're doing lots of research, especially with social media. They're
not just blindly following trends anymore. So there's been a
real movement in the aesthetic industry towards celebrating individuality. Secondly,
(20:32):
in the aesthetic industry. There's been a large shift in
our educational practices. So I would say about a third
of my day is dissolving previous filler that was done
about ten years ago, and we are redoing the filler
with these new techniques. Now, a lot of patients these
days are wanting this natural look and they shy away
(20:54):
from the aesthetic industry because of these old practices. But
with the new education that we've received medicine, we're able
to achieve natural outcomes. And there's a big misconception where
patients feel it's about They think it's about the amount
that's being done, but it's not. It's actually about the technique.
So there's an undeniable change in these past few years
(21:18):
of being able to get this shift to more natural results.
And when we compare to Americans to Canadians, I would
say that Canadians are always looking for more subtable results,
where Americans in more urban cities are looking for more
transformative results. But still across the board, we're looking for
more authenticity and natural beauty. And as a practitioner, I
(21:42):
willheartedly embrace this change.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
You're right, and with so many options available from neurotoxins
to fillers to biostimulators, how do you determine the best
approach for each patient and what are some of the
most popular injectables per se in the Canadian market right now?
Speaker 7 (21:58):
So we have an esthetic tool box we work with
and you know a lot of patients ask what is
the right product for me? But it's more so looking
at the patient in front of me than anything. So
things such as, you know, what is the downtime they're
looking for? Do they want immediate gratification? What are the
issues they want to address?
Speaker 8 (22:18):
For us?
Speaker 7 (22:19):
The most common would be HA fillers, hyaluronic acid, neurotoxins
are for smoothing dynamic lines, and biostimulators are the new
and upcoming where the body stimulates its natural collagen to
create a more natural result fitting to the new cultural change.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
Now let's shift to regulations. Could you briefly describe the
regulatory landscape of the aesthetic industry in Canada and how
it compares to other countries and additionally, how it impacts
the availability and access of products.
Speaker 7 (22:50):
So Canada Health Canada is recognized globally as one of
the most strictest and diligent regulatory bodies when it comes
to pharmaceutical and medical aesthetics. But what does this mean
for patients and practitioners. Well, for practitioners, unfortunately, it takes
a long time for us to get access to certain
products that America and Europe has access to faster. But
(23:16):
on the upside, it prevents a flood of untested or
lower quality products. So the rigorous process safeguards the integrity
of the industry as well as our patients. So, you know,
sometimes it's not fun when we hear about something that's
across the country somewhere else in a different state. But
you know, we have a little bit more of a
(23:37):
stricter handle on things in Canada.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
Now let's bring the COO two lift into the picture,
a product I know you are very familiar with as
we as we know, carbboxy therapy has been around since
the nineteen thirties injecting carbon doxid gas underneath the skin.
But co two lift was able to remodel this in
a new delivery system as a topical gel mask, and
while it has many monotherapy benefits, it could also be
used in therapy both pre and post procedure.
Speaker 4 (24:02):
How does se lif fit into your broader.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
Aesthetic treatment plans, especially for injectables. And have you first
had seen and improve a patient's results in recovery.
Speaker 7 (24:11):
Yeah, so COO two lift has been a game changer
in my practice for skin health as well as recovery.
So for those that are unfamiliar, carboxygel works by delivering
carbon dioxide to the skin which triggers natural oxygenization of
the skin. So in my practice we use it before
injectibles as well as after. So why because it improves
(24:33):
the circulation and hydration of the skin to allow filler
to get the best optimal outcome. And then the after
is that it reduces swelling bruising as well as patients
lead the clinic with a glow rather than the tell
tale treated look. So it just removes downtime in a
pinch compared to a patient waiting days two weeks for
(24:56):
bruiser swelling to heal.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
It's a great product overall. Yes, test to it, I
use it myself. I love it now. I know you
frequently speak and share your knowledge on advancement, complication management
and treatment planning and product integration. And while most injectible
complications are preventable, they can still occur. So I've heard
from many of your peers that they turn to the
(25:19):
CO two lift mask when injectible issues arise.
Speaker 4 (25:22):
And with your expensive experience, I'm sure you've seen it all,
so I'd love to hear from you.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
How do you approach managing complications with products like COO
two lift, whether it's addressing common concerns like redness and
swelling or something more serious such as a vascular occlusion.
Speaker 7 (25:37):
Yeah, so definitely have seen it all in this industry
in terms of complications. And one thing I always stress
to practitioners, no matter how skilled or careful you are,
is that complications are going to happen, but it's how
you manage it. So most commonly patients will experience swelling, redness,
and bruising after treatment, and this is where the CO
(25:58):
two lift is invaluable in my kit because it decreases
all that inflammation within an hour. So that's for us,
for patient retention and for patient experience, it's a phenomenal product.
And then more rare instances where if we're having a
serious complication such as a vascular occlusion, which means there's
an embli in a vessel from filler injected. This is
(26:22):
critical for an immediate action where we use hialuronidies to
dissolve it. But the CO two lift, I'm sure you've
heard this before, Zen, it acts as a hyperbaric oxygen chamber,
so we're able to topically apply it to the face
compared to sending a patient to a medi center and
trying to pull resources, which is very expensive and very
challenging to get for a patient. So it helps resolve
(26:46):
complications while following a proper protocol and also supports the
skin's recovery, specifically afterwards if there is more of a
serious complication and we're wanting to restore that skin barrier.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
Now, as the aesthetic industry continues to evolve, new techniques
and technologies are always emerging, and professionals like yourself are
at the forefront of this ever changing landscape. I know
you most recently completed your Masters of Nursing Family Nurse
Practitioner program.
Speaker 4 (27:13):
Congratulations, thank you so much, and you're going.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
To continue, of course, to focus on patient education because
that's key. Mentoring other practitioners I think is truly important
at the heart of it all, and of course driving
innovation and medical aesthetics. So as someone who clearly values
continuing ed and innovation. How do you stay up to
date in Kanada's aesthetic industry, I mean, especially in an
air of such rapid advancements And secondarily, why do you
(27:39):
think it's so important for both practitioners and patients.
Speaker 7 (27:42):
So this is the area I'm probably most passionate about
because the pace of innovation and aesthetics is astonishing. There
are new techniques, products, safety protocols, and patient expectations are
ever evolving. So for me, staying current is not optional,
it's a professional responsibility. So for myself, I regularly attend
(28:06):
different national and international conferences to engage in advanced training
as well as meeting other experts in the field. So
for us, we need to dissect trends as well to
ensure that we're providing the best care for our patients,
because things become a fad and later we realize it
wasn't the best, so we have to always dive into
the science to ensure that that doesn't happen. Because esthetics
(28:30):
medical aesthetics is not just beauty, it's actually healthcare. So
if patients are trusting us with their appearance and their
health and well being, we have to invest in that
time and at the end of the day, right that
ongoing education for us fosters trust and ensures that that
ripples into the entire industry.
Speaker 4 (28:50):
I love it. Thank you so much. That's an incredible narrative.

Ben Greenfield from Ben Greenfieldlife dot com, and today we
are going to be chatting about grounding. That's right, I'm
(30:39):
standing outside barefoot this morning, right when I wake up.
Because anytime you get in touch with the surface of
the planet, and I try and do it for twenty
to thirty minutes minimum a day, you absorb all of
the healthy, anti inflammatory ions that the planet accumulates. Every
time lightning strikes the surface of the Earth or solar
(31:00):
radiation particles hit the surface of our planet. When your
skin gets in touch with that conductive surface, there's an
anti inflammatory effect that's fantastic for your whole body. There's
even books and documentaries that a lot of people don't
know about written on the benefits of grounding and earthing.
So whether it's going for a walk with your shoes
on and stopping and touching the ground, doing some pushups,
(31:22):
I do that sometimes. Whether it's wearing grounding or earthing shoes. Yes,
they make those things like earth runners or plugs or
grounds or brands of earthing or grounding shoes, or like me,
if you just go outside in the morning and stand barefoot.
These are all ways that you can enhance the anti
inflammatory effects of grounding. It's also fantastic by the way,

What if I told you the secret to live in longer,
stronger was already on your dinner plate. Yes, it's not
a magic pierl it's not This huge fountain of youth
that is promised is literally on your plate. Would you
believe me, I hope. So because today we're going to
(32:59):
talk about longevity diets. If you've not heard about longevity diets,
it's not a trend. It's actually something that has been
shown and is inspired by your glue zones. So what
is the definition of longevity diet? Well, just a big synopsis, okay,
is focusing on whole anti inflammatory, antioxidant rich foods, and
(33:24):
so longevity diets includes a couple of things that is
very important. Just to kind of run off this list.
Number one is plant based meals. So these are like
high in lagoons, you know, lentees peas or cheekpeas.
Speaker 4 (33:39):
That's very high.
Speaker 11 (33:40):
Soy is helpful and this plant based meal really boosts
antioxidant and boost anti inflammatory state, which is good to
avoid chronic diseases. Also, the longevity diet utilizes very minimal
or no processed food and the sugar is significantly cut down.
(34:03):
You want to eat natural nuts like almonds or pistachios.
Also moderate protein and mainly plant based protein. Eating meats sparingly,
like about five times a month is good, but plant
based protein is something that's very high and the longevity
diet and promoted another thing that we really looked at
(34:24):
is the anti inflammatory herbs and teas. This has been
shown to be a cornerstone in longevity diets, and that's
something that is used routinely and also regular fasting on
mindfood eating. So what are the science backed benefits of
longevity diets? So number one longer life expectancy, also cardiovascal
(34:45):
health and benefit.
Speaker 8 (34:47):
There is a known thing that eating a certain type
of meals improves your heart your heart conditions, So longeviic
d dyet is one of those things where it decreases
your heart attack rate by like thirty percent and also
heart related debts. We also have lower rates of chronic
disease as healthy bio markers. So the agent biomarkers are
(35:09):
high in longevity diets, which obviously leads to a more sustainable,
longer lifestyle. And some of this emergent evidence has.
Speaker 11 (35:19):
Been shown like polyphenols which are antioxidant compounds abundant in
berries and all this, and red wine has been shown
really to improve or activate certain genes related longevity and
help fent of agent. We also have your power of
lagoons which I've mentioned earlier that is good and part
(35:41):
of a longevity diet. So there's some meats and facts
that want to burst with a longevity diet myths. You
need to be vegan to live long. That is a myth.
Facts are bad for you? Is that facts or make
that is a myth? Is it about calorie or is
it about nutrients? Well, it's about nutrients and that's facts, okay.
(36:03):
And lastly, social connection and mindful eating. It calls better
digestion and longer life. Is that fact or myth? That
is a fact. So the bottom line is longevity guides
is healthy and good for you, and if you can
practice that in your everyday life, you're going to live
for a very long time. This is Doctor Decim for

the Expert on the microphone series. In the Better Brighter
You segment brought to you by Seispera, Today, we're tackling
a skincare concern that millions struggle with hyperpigmentation. Whether it's
post inflammatory marks, malasma, or sun damage, uneven skin tone
(37:33):
can be a persistent and frustrating issue.
Speaker 4 (37:36):
The challenge well, many treatments.
Speaker 3 (37:38):
Come with risks from irritation to unwanted side effects like hypopigmentation.
Speaker 4 (37:44):
That's where cutting edge science is changing the game.
Speaker 3 (37:47):
Sispera is one of the most advanced correcting treatments on
the market, delivering the power of traditional solutions like hydroquonine
without the risks backed by rigorous clinical trials, including studies
with over eighty percent of participants with skin of color.
Speaker 4 (38:03):
It's proving to be a dermatologist's favorite.
Speaker 3 (38:05):
And speaking of dermatologists, we're thrilled to have doctor Elise

what your skincare routine is missing.
Speaker 4 (38:35):
Welcoming now to the show is the amazing doctor Elise Love.
Welcome to the show, Superstar.
Speaker 12 (38:40):
Thank you for having me. I'm so excited to talk
about one of my favorite topics, hyperpigmentation or getting rid
of hyperpigmentation really.
Speaker 4 (38:48):
Or getting rid of it right and dermatology.
Speaker 3 (38:51):
Dermatology is one of the most rapidly advancing fields in medicine,
but it's also deeply, deeply personal and skincare isn't just
about looking good, about confidence, self expression and overall well being.
What inspired you to specialize in dermatology and how has
your approach evolved over the years to meet all these
diverse needs.
Speaker 4 (39:11):
Of your patients.
Speaker 12 (39:12):
Yeah, I mean that is exactly what you just said
was actually my journey to dermatology. So I always say
my journey to dermatology started as a patient. So I
suffered with pretty moderate to severe acne for years and
years and years. And it's not actually my struggle with
acne that led me to dermatology. It's once my skin
(39:33):
was clear and I realized the difference in my every
other aspect of my life. Once my skin was clear,
I realized that I was more outgoing. I realized that,
you know, I raised my hand in class, I wanted
to share ideas, I wanted to more participate in society.
That that I was like, this is amazing. So it's
(39:54):
really the quality of life impact of dermatology that led
me to, you know, go to medical school and eventually
become a dermatologists. From the beginning, my training has always
been there's been a focus on that quality of life impacts,
but also providing culturally competent care and realizing that, you know,
even if two people need the same medical treatment, you
(40:14):
may not approach that medical treatment, you may not approach
that conversation about that medical treatment in the same way.
And so I think that, you know, as we learn more,
we are all evolving. But I'm really grateful that that
focus on how do you provide clinically found and adequate
care to a diverse range of patients has always been
(40:38):
at the core of my medical factive.
Speaker 3 (40:40):
That's such a great perspective. Personalization in skincare is everything,
and it's amazing to hear how you prioritize that in
your practice.
Speaker 4 (40:47):
I love that.
Speaker 3 (40:48):
Now let's talk about treating hyper pigmentation in skin of color. So, hyperpigmentation,
as we know, is one of the top concerns among
dermatology patients, particularly those with darker skin tones, and research
shows that over sixty five percent of dermatology visits by black,
Hispanic and Asian patients involve concerns related to dark spots
and uneven skin tone. Why does hyperpigmentation tend to be
(41:12):
more persistent in deeper skin tones and how does this
impact the impact of the treatment decisions.
Speaker 12 (41:18):
It's the price that we pay for our beautiful melanin
throughout life, we're always more prone to hyper pigmentation. And
that's because anything that affects the skin, Almost anything that
affects the skin will leave the cart spot. So you
get one acne pimple, you have a dark spot from it.
You get an examarash, you get a dark spot from it.
(41:39):
And so these things just you know, these are normal
things that are accumulating throughout the throughout the week, throughout
the monk, and then their thun damage can cause hypercigmentation.
We see that with aging and ulder skin type and
even malagma, which is the condition where the skin, you know,
instead of getting a rash, you can actually develop pigmentation.
(42:00):
This is more common in darker skin type, and so
we get that protection, that little extra protection from the sun.
There's like slower rates of aging, but almost anything in
everything makes us can potentially cause a dark spot or
pigmentation in the skin.
Speaker 3 (42:16):
That's fascinating and it's really it really underscores why a targeted,
science backed approach is so necessary. Right now, let's talk
about traditional treatment approaches and their limitations. So when it
comes to treating hypermigmentation. We often hear about topical legions, lasers,
and chemical peels, but not all treatments are created equal.
(42:36):
Some can actually worsen pigmentation it's not used correctly, especially
in skin of color. From your perspective, what are the
most effective treatment approaches and what factors determine the best choice.
Speaker 12 (42:47):
For a patient. We know that pigmentation is a fourteen
step process, and so the more steps that you can
interfere with, you're going to have more effective treatment. But
we also know that irritation worse is pigmentation, and so
I see it all the time where my patients come
in and they're trying to do everything and they actually
make their pigmentation work. And so in terms of the
(43:10):
most effective type of pigmentation, I will say hyper pigmentation
can be complicated. It depends on how superficial it is.
It depends on how like dark the pigmentation is. But
and it also depends on your skin type, how sensitive
your skin is. But one of the really exciting things
that's happened over the past five years is that we're
getting more and more gentle topicals that also are very
(43:36):
effective for hyper pigmentation because it used to be that
you kind of you know, if you use something like gentle,
like a kochic acid, you know it would do a
little something, but not anything particularly magical. And then over
here you have like your your retinoid that can be powerful,
but can be completely or it can be irritating to
(43:56):
certain skin types. And so it's nice that now we
have things like sup Era that we can add into
the mix where it has been shown to be as
effective as actually hydroquinone based formulas, but has a much
higher tolerability on the skin, and even related to that,
there's no risk of overlightening the skin. And so that's
(44:18):
all we got answered.
Speaker 4 (44:19):
That was my next question.
Speaker 3 (44:20):
Okay, let's check the shift away from hydrocrenone and safer alternatives.
So for decades we know that hydrocrenone was considered the
gold standard for pigment correction, but we now know that
long term use can lead to serious side effects including
skin thinning, a chronosis, and even rebound hyperpigmentation. With newer
alternatives like seized sperra. How should patients weigh the effectiveness
(44:42):
versus safety debate when choosing a pigment correcting treatment.
Speaker 12 (44:46):
Yeah, I mean I think patients always want the safest option.
If you're telling me something, it's equally as effective, but
I can use it continuously and not worry about it.
I think that's always going to be the option that
patients go to. I do think h is a great
ingredient when used correctly, but it's really only a great
option for certain types of pigmentation because you know, I
(45:09):
see it often where someone has patient has gotten it
from somewhere else and they actually will cause like almost
like halo effects if they're trying to treat acne marks,
where it's almost like you have a little bull's eye
on your face now because you have the dark spot
and then right around it it's lighter, and then you
have your normal skin. And also, we would never use
hydropronoun for longer than twelve weeks, so even if it
(45:30):
works for you, it's not a sustainable option that we
would then say, oh, we found your hyperpigmentation treatment. Now
you can just you know, we're done, like it does
just continue this. And so it's incredible to have things
like Sispara and other more gentle, non bleaching skin treatment
(45:51):
options that you can use long term and you can
feel comfortable that it's going to work both in the
moment to help with the dark spots, but then also
as a maintenance alternative. So like for the SSPARA regimen,
it's daily for probably those first four months while you're
actively treating pigmentation, but then you can keep it into
your routine two times a week to maintain because, like
(46:15):
we said, we're always being assaulted with being second clasmic
mentation and so having that maintenance it's going to be necessary.
Speaker 4 (46:22):
Thank you for that thorough explanation, which brings me to
my next topic. Sispera unique mechanism. It's it's a dermatologist
preference and Sispera has been making waves in the DRM
world because it delivers results comparable to hydrocroinon without the risks,
and unlike traditional pigment corrects, it's powered by systemine, which
occurs naturally in human cells. So what makes this systeming a.
Speaker 3 (46:47):
Game changing and greeting in the fight against hypergummentation and
why do deerams trust sisperas an alternative.
Speaker 12 (46:53):
The things that make sc unique is the fact that
it can be used long term, the fact that it
does not cause any type of skin bleaching, so it
can be used consistently, and it can be used on
the full face. And so this is particularly relevant for
people who have hatchy molasmal or people who have post
acne marks. So you may have dark spots that are
(47:14):
scattered throughout the face, but it's really hard to spot
treat every single one of them, and so you can
use it on the whole face without worrying that you're
going to lighten the skin tone. And then the third
thing is the tolerability. Tolerability is a game changer for
treating hyper pigmentation because anything that irritates the sin can
potentially make the pigmentation worse. And so I think systeaming
(47:38):
is an incredible ingredient and we're getting more and more
of these ingredients coming to market.
Speaker 4 (47:43):
Yeah, steaming game change, It's incredible.
Speaker 3 (47:45):
So we're talking about a treatment that works in harmony
with the skin rather than against it, right, And that's
truly what it's about. And what I want to point
out is that I have been using seisphera and I
don't have any hyperfigmentation melasma or my skin is good,
but now it's even better because I have that brightness
(48:06):
that exactly right.
Speaker 4 (48:07):
Oh yeah, it just brightened me up. This is great
for just maintenance. So now I want to.
Speaker 3 (48:12):
Talk about exactly that the clinical trials and diversity in
dermatology research, which I think is so so important and
so underrated. A major issue in dermatology research is that
many clinical trials have historically excluded patients with skin of color,
and this has led to treatments that may not be
as effective or safe for darker complexions. Now Sisperas stands
(48:34):
out because it's clinical trials included over eighty percent of
participants with skin of color.
Speaker 4 (48:39):
Big shout out.
Speaker 3 (48:40):
How important is this kind of representation in dermatology research and.
Speaker 4 (48:45):
Do you think we're seeing real progress in this area.
Speaker 12 (48:47):
It's important from both the disease perspective and the treatment perspective.
So an example in terms of disease perspective is that
when we look we know that in visible light causes
pigmentation and darker skin chill, but it does not cause
pigmentation and lighter skin tones. And so if we didn't
do that study on every single skin type, we wouldn't
(49:09):
have that information. And it's the same for pigment fighting ingredients.
We know that some are not as effective on darker
skin tones. But also when we get back to the
point of irritation, so we know that if you're testing
out your formula on a lighter skin tone, you may
get some mild irritation, but that may not affect your results,
(49:31):
right because lighter skin tones are not as prone to
post inflammatoryation. But you may find that if you give
that same formula to someone with a darker skin tone,
that little bit of inflammation that your product creates may
actually inhibit your results. And so we are seeing this
push where more and more brands are including all five
(49:52):
skin type. But we definitely have to acknowledge and like
give a shout out and support the brands that I've
been doing it from the beginning to that.
Speaker 4 (50:01):
Now it's the truth.
Speaker 3 (50:03):
Now, if you have one piece of advice very quickly
you'd give to someone, Look, you just safely and effectively
treat that hyper figmentation.
Speaker 4 (50:09):
What would it be?
Speaker 12 (50:10):
Okay, Well, if I have one piece of advice, I
would say pigmentation is really complicated. It's even complicated for
me as a germatologist. So if you have the option
to go and be seen by a board certified grmatologist
and do this journey together, I highly recommend, but even
you know, I will honestly say most of the best
(50:30):
pigment fighters are over the counter. So if you are
going on this journey alone, there is social media for
like some extra board certified advice, but just remember to
go low and slow so more is not more. More
is not more when treating hyperpigmentation, because if you do
too much, you can worsen your results. So take it slow,
(50:55):
be patient, and just know that there are some incredible
options that you have that are over the counter.
Speaker 3 (51:01):
Well, thank you so much, doctor Love. It's been such
an enlightening conversation. Thank you for breaking down the signs
behind hyperplegamentation, safe treatment options and the power of dermatologists

April is Autism Awareness Month, a time when we amplify
the voices of families, researchers, and clinicians working tirelessly to
support the more than one in thirty six children in
the US diagnosed with autism.
Speaker 4 (03:56):
And that's according to the latest data from the CDC.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
Today, we're going to be joined by a groundbreaking force
in the world of developmental neuroscience, doctor Robert Malillo. He's
a clinician, a professor, a brain researcher, and the best
selling author of Disconnected Kids, which is now in its
third edition and translated into sixteen languages.
Speaker 4 (04:15):
But more than anything, doctor Milillo is a change maker.
He's the creator of the Malillo Method and co.
Speaker 3 (04:21):
Founder of Brain Balance Achievement Centers, where his work focuses
on rewiring the brain through non invasive, multimodal approaches. His
focus not managing symptoms, but addressing root causes, and that
includes autism spectrum disorders. This conversation is going to be
brought to you by your Home TV, committed to delivering
meaningful programming that inspires families everywhere. Today we're chatting rewiring autism.
(04:46):
Can the brain change the diagnoses? A powerful look at
how brain based interventions are reshaping our understanding of autism
spectrum disorders. Welcoming now to the show is the incredible
doctor Robert Milillo.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
Welcome, superstar, Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Speaker 5 (05:01):
Jen.
Speaker 6 (05:01):
I'm excited to be here, so.
Speaker 4 (05:03):
Excited to have you on, so doctor Mililo.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Today we see an autism diagnosies happening earlier than ever,
with children being screened as young as eighteen months. And
while early intervention is crucial, many parents feel truly overwhelmed
by the medical jargon and limited.
Speaker 4 (05:20):
To behavioral therapies.
Speaker 3 (05:21):
But your work points to a different starting place the brain.
So can you walk us through what's actually happening neurologically
in a child with autism.
Speaker 6 (05:30):
One of the things that's not happening in the vast
majority is there is no damage or injury in the brain.
There is no genetic mutation. Most of the time, those
things are misconceptions. And really it starts with that. You know,
from my experience, everyone that's on the autism spectrum, whether
they range from high functioning to non speaking, which is
(05:52):
the majority of what we work with, they really have
these genius level skills, every one of them, especially their
left brains. And so what the problem is is actually
this developmental immaturity, delay and imbalance that starts in early childhood,
and that creates this developmental imbalance between the right and
(06:15):
left hemisphere networks, and there's not the proper communication that
should happen. So it's really just a deviation of normal
growth and that can be changed.
Speaker 4 (06:25):
Actually, wow, that's fascinating.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
So instead of seeing autism as purely behavioral, you're saying
it's more about how different areas of the brain are
or aren't communicating with each other, and that's a totally
different lens, and so it's empowering for parents to hear
this perspective.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
Now I'm going to move.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
On to a stat The CDC notes that boys are
nearly four times more likely to be diagnosed with autism
than girls. But many experts say girls often go undiagnosed
because they present differently, more internalized symptoms if you will,
and stronger masking behaviors if not.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
So, what does science say here? Is this a brain
based difference between genders.
Speaker 6 (07:04):
Yeah, there's definitely a brain based difference between genders, But
it also has to do with the way that it's
all about brain development. And again it all comes down
in neurology and neuroscience. It's not these are not behavioral issues,
they're not psychological. They are neuro science neuroanatomy issues, and
they start in development and boys and girls' brains differ
(07:25):
greatly when we start out. What most people don't realize
is that the basic blueprint of the body in the
brain is a female and then we need to be
converted to the male brain by the right amount of
hormones at the right time and anything that may you know,
that means that the boys' brains are more vulnerable. Males
(07:45):
tend to be a little bit more right brain dominant
and dependent than females. Women have. In general, female brains
have a larger what we call corpus colosum, and they
have a more symmetrical brain, and they tend to have
naturally better communication between brain networks, and they tend to
multitask a little bit better than male brains. But also
(08:08):
because these are developmental delays and immaturity, the male brain
normally takes longer to mature. So now if we have
anything that interferes with that development, it has more of
an impact on a male brain than a female brain.
And so that's why, you know, we believe we're seeing
a lot more males than females, But it doesn't mean
(08:30):
it doesn't happen in females, because it does.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
Now, you've worked with thousands of children in families. One
of the most controversial but intriguing ideas you've put forth
is that autism in some cases can be reversed or
significantly improved. And that statement challenges conventional thinking. So what
does the data behind your method actually show and how
can you define quote unquote reversal.
Speaker 6 (08:51):
In this context, we especially work with a lot of
non speaking individuals and obviously, you know, understanding and why
they don't speak, that's been one of my really searches
for the last twenty five years. No one's ever really
answered that what is actually preventing them from speaking when
certain errors of their brain seem to be you know, overactive,
(09:14):
like causing ticks or stimming behavior or hyperactivity or OCD
or increase with you know, maybe sometimes aggression or anger
or certain anxieties or all of those things are overactive.
When they may have deficits in the right side of
the brain which make them less connected to their body,
they don't feel things quite as much at the at
(09:36):
the non speaking end of it, and that really is
the source of them not being able to speak. They
have all the words there, but they can't get it out. So,
you know, when we talk about changing this, you know,
there's all different varieties. Again, when we have really high
functioning people that are on the autism spectrum, you know,
many of them feel, listen, I'm good, I don't need
any help, and that's great, and they're brilliant people and
(09:59):
they're good. That's fine, But you know, when you have
individuals that can't speak, can't communicate, and we find ways
of being able to spell with them on a letter board.
And it's really remarkable because many of these kids that
sometimes they don't think they even know how to recognize
a letter, and then when they can spell on a
letter board or sometimes an iPad or some other device,
(10:21):
they may know full sentences or actually be fully verbal
and they tell us, you know, please help me speak,
I want to speak so badly, or I want to
stop stimming, I want to stop ticking. So the fact
is we can change all of that because there is
no damage, there is no injury. The fact that people
say that you can't do anything about it is because
(10:41):
they don't know how the brain works. I've spent my
whole career really understanding and I think I understand it
as well as anybody. I've researched it, written about it,
and also work with tens of thousands of kids. And
you know, it can be changed. But really it's up
to them and their family as to, you know, what
they want to do about it. And we're not trying
to change them. We're just trying to bring out the
(11:03):
best version of the individual, and if there are certain
things there that have interfered with their normal development of
their brain and caused these imbalances, then as wonderful and
as amazing as they are, what we see is not
the best version of them. And we just want to
bring that out. And what we're able to do quite
often is not take away their genius, but give them
(11:26):
their voice. And I think everybody would agree that that's
a wonderful thing. If we can do that.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
That's beautiful.
Speaker 3 (11:32):
You just made me tear up because you said something
that was extremely impactful.
Speaker 4 (11:35):
When a child says to you, please help me speak.
I mean that just floored me as a mom right there.
And you see this all day every day.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
And the only way they're communicating please help me speak
is through that device that otherwise wouldn't have been there
if we weren't as advanced in technology. So imagine how
isolated these poor children feel. And what's incredibly hopeful but
grounded is that it's all about this neuroplasticity, which we
know is a very real phenomenon, right, and it's important
for parents to understand that like change doesn't have to
(12:04):
mean perfection, it can just mean progress.
Speaker 4 (12:07):
Now, parents often ask you know what caused this, And.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
While genetics certainly play some level of role, so many
environmental factors are now under the microscope. So you've talked
about the role of immune function and inflammation and even
gut health. What's the most compelling link between these symptoms
and the development of autism spectrum disorders in your in
your perspective.
Speaker 6 (12:28):
Yeah, the most compelling link is that you know, this
is definitely driven by environmental factors. It's not genetic mutations,
and you know, so that's why it is. It is changeable.
We can change that gene expression because the genes aren't damaged.
But again, the misconception that it also starts in the
gut and it starts with inflammation is not correct. It
(12:50):
actually starts in the brain stem. It starts in the brain,
and it starts with maturity and the imbalance of what
we call the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous system. And this
leads to work that I've done, and I published more
than anybody in the world right now on something called
retain primitive reflexes. So these are reflexes that we're all
born with that should be there even before we're born,
(13:11):
that help the baby develop in the first year. And
you know, the human brain is unique. Our brain is
the only brain on the planet that eighty percent of
our development happens outside of the womb. No other animal
has to do that. And so how we go through
the development looking at those milestones, you know, d during
(13:32):
the pandemic, the CDC was actually getting much more lax
with that and saying it doesn't matter. Kids develop at
all different ages in all different ways, and it doesn't
matter if they crawl unusually they don't crawl, or they
skip crawling, or if they walk late. That's not true.
It really should be very strict, So paying attention to
that looking at those early milestones. We have a paper
(13:54):
coming out this month that is going to be coming
out in a major pediatric clinical journal where we're you know,
they asked us to write a paper on the fact
that looking at these things called retain reflexes and how
they relate to milestones as a biomarker of neurodevelopmental issues,
which means that we can now recognize these things really
(14:14):
early on. The first milestone is can the baby latch
on if the mom decides the breastfeed and if they
don't right off the bat, we might see a red
flag and be able to intervene really really early.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Now, April is all about awareness, but awareness without direction
can sometimes leave families feeling really stuck. So if a
parent listening right now is just dealing with that new
diagnosis or feels their child is struggling with these developmental delays,
what's one first step you recommend they take toward better
understanding the brain behind the behavior.
Speaker 6 (14:48):
Really, just you know, trying to educate yourself on actually
looking at brain and brain science and neuroscience, because you're
going to hear a lot of things. You're going to
hear that you know, nobody knows what's going on. You're
going to no one's even going to tell you that.
Most the first question I asked most families when they
come all over the world to New York here to
see me, is has anybody tried to explain to you
(15:08):
what's happening in your child's brain? The answer is always no,
And the reason why is because they don't know, and
yet you know they'll tell you, but there's nothing you
can do about it even though they don't know what
the problem is. And that's what drove me on This
was my own son was diagnosed with ADHD, and I
went out and wanted to search as to what the
answer was. And I already knew a lot about neurology
(15:29):
and the brain, and people kept on saying, well, we
don't know what it is, but we know there's nothing
you can do about it. So the idea is to
really understand that these are neurological developmental issues. And people
will say there's nothing you can do about it, but
that's not true. And it's not that it's easy, and
it's not that it's not frustrating and scary, and a
(15:49):
lot of people will be told, well, listen, just learn
to accept it. This is it, this is your fate
in life, and you know, and just come to that
acceptance point. And I understand. It's not that we don't
want to accept these individuals and these children and people
for who they are, because they're amazing. But I would
say that, you know, I don't think acceptance is really
the way to go. I think there are things that
(16:10):
can be really, really helpful, and I think reading my
book would be a really good first step. We've included
a lot of our new research, and again we published
papers on this in the best journals in the world
and showed that, you know, we can change these things
and we can actually see differences in the brain before
and after, so you know, don't lose hope. You know,
educate yourself understanding that it is a brain issue and
(16:33):
learn more about it, and then you know, seek out
the right help.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
That's such practical calming advice, especially for parents in that
panic phase you know after a diagnosis. Knowing that there's
a path forward and that it starts with curiosity about
your child's brain is everything. We are officially out of time,
We've got so over the clock.
Speaker 4 (16:51):
But I love talking to you and I could just
do I could do this all day because you're.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
So brilliant and you explain things so well, and I
learn every time you come on the show, learn something.

She's a frequent speaker at international medical aesthetic conferences and

she's brought her expertise to our show to chat all
about the most popular injectable trends in Canada, evolving patient
preferences and how CO two lift fits into her treatment plans.
Speaker 4 (19:26):
Welcome to the show, Superstar.
Speaker 7 (19:28):
Thank you so much, Zen for the wonderful introduction. I'm
so happy to be here.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
So excited to have you on.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
Let's dive right in, so, Julie, you are renowned for
your expertise in natural rejuvenation and full facial balancing, with
a commitment to delivering transformative yet natural looking results. Fittingly,
in recent years, we've seen a noticeable shift in the
aesthetic industry, with patients prioritizing those subtle refinements and enhancing
(19:55):
their natural features rather than that dramatic, overdone look of
the past. Based on your experience, where do you think
this more natural preference is stemming from and do you
find aesthetic ideals varying between Canadian and American clients.
Speaker 7 (20:09):
I believe this stems from a few cultural shifts. First
being that patients are more self aware, they're more educated,
They're doing lots of research, especially with social media. They're
not just blindly following trends anymore. So there's been a
real movement in the aesthetic industry towards celebrating individuality. Secondly,
(20:32):
in the aesthetic industry. There's been a large shift in
our educational practices. So I would say about a third
of my day is dissolving previous filler that was done
about ten years ago, and we are redoing the filler
with these new techniques. Now, a lot of patients these
days are wanting this natural look and they shy away
(20:54):
from the aesthetic industry because of these old practices. But
with the new education that we've received medicine, we're able
to achieve natural outcomes. And there's a big misconception where
patients feel it's about They think it's about the amount
that's being done, but it's not. It's actually about the technique.
So there's an undeniable change in these past few years
(21:18):
of being able to get this shift to more natural results.
And when we compare to Americans to Canadians, I would
say that Canadians are always looking for more subtable results,
where Americans in more urban cities are looking for more
transformative results. But still across the board, we're looking for
more authenticity and natural beauty. And as a practitioner, I
(21:42):
willheartedly embrace this change.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
You're right, and with so many options available from neurotoxins
to fillers to biostimulators, how do you determine the best
approach for each patient and what are some of the
most popular injectables per se in the Canadian market right now?
Speaker 7 (21:58):
So we have an esthetic tool box we work with
and you know a lot of patients ask what is
the right product for me? But it's more so looking
at the patient in front of me than anything. So
things such as, you know, what is the downtime they're
looking for? Do they want immediate gratification? What are the
issues they want to address?
Speaker 8 (22:18):
For us?
Speaker 7 (22:19):
The most common would be HA fillers, hyaluronic acid, neurotoxins
are for smoothing dynamic lines, and biostimulators are the new
and upcoming where the body stimulates its natural collagen to
create a more natural result fitting to the new cultural change.
Speaker 3 (22:36):
Now let's shift to regulations. Could you briefly describe the
regulatory landscape of the aesthetic industry in Canada and how
it compares to other countries and additionally, how it impacts
the availability and access of products.
Speaker 7 (22:50):
So Canada Health Canada is recognized globally as one of
the most strictest and diligent regulatory bodies when it comes
to pharmaceutical and medical aesthetics. But what does this mean
for patients and practitioners. Well, for practitioners, unfortunately, it takes
a long time for us to get access to certain
products that America and Europe has access to faster. But
(23:16):
on the upside, it prevents a flood of untested or
lower quality products. So the rigorous process safeguards the integrity
of the industry as well as our patients. So, you know,
sometimes it's not fun when we hear about something that's
across the country somewhere else in a different state. But
you know, we have a little bit more of a
(23:37):
stricter handle on things in Canada.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
Now let's bring the COO two lift into the picture,
a product I know you are very familiar with as
we as we know, carbboxy therapy has been around since
the nineteen thirties injecting carbon doxid gas underneath the skin.
But co two lift was able to remodel this in
a new delivery system as a topical gel mask, and
while it has many monotherapy benefits, it could also be
used in therapy both pre and post procedure.
Speaker 4 (24:02):
How does se lif fit into your broader.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
Aesthetic treatment plans, especially for injectables. And have you first
had seen and improve a patient's results in recovery.
Speaker 7 (24:11):
Yeah, so COO two lift has been a game changer
in my practice for skin health as well as recovery.
So for those that are unfamiliar, carboxygel works by delivering
carbon dioxide to the skin which triggers natural oxygenization of
the skin. So in my practice we use it before
injectibles as well as after. So why because it improves
(24:33):
the circulation and hydration of the skin to allow filler
to get the best optimal outcome. And then the after
is that it reduces swelling bruising as well as patients
lead the clinic with a glow rather than the tell
tale treated look. So it just removes downtime in a
pinch compared to a patient waiting days two weeks for
(24:56):
bruiser swelling to heal.
Speaker 3 (24:58):
It's a great product overall. Yes, test to it, I
use it myself. I love it now. I know you
frequently speak and share your knowledge on advancement, complication management
and treatment planning and product integration. And while most injectible
complications are preventable, they can still occur. So I've heard
from many of your peers that they turn to the
(25:19):
CO two lift mask when injectible issues arise.
Speaker 4 (25:22):
And with your expensive experience, I'm sure you've seen it all,
so I'd love to hear from you.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
How do you approach managing complications with products like COO
two lift, whether it's addressing common concerns like redness and
swelling or something more serious such as a vascular occlusion.
Speaker 7 (25:37):
Yeah, so definitely have seen it all in this industry
in terms of complications. And one thing I always stress
to practitioners, no matter how skilled or careful you are,
is that complications are going to happen, but it's how
you manage it. So most commonly patients will experience swelling, redness,
and bruising after treatment, and this is where the CO
(25:58):
two lift is invaluable in my kit because it decreases
all that inflammation within an hour. So that's for us,
for patient retention and for patient experience, it's a phenomenal product.
And then more rare instances where if we're having a
serious complication such as a vascular occlusion, which means there's
an embli in a vessel from filler injected. This is
(26:22):
critical for an immediate action where we use hialuronidies to
dissolve it. But the CO two lift, I'm sure you've
heard this before, Zen, it acts as a hyperbaric oxygen chamber,
so we're able to topically apply it to the face
compared to sending a patient to a medi center and
trying to pull resources, which is very expensive and very
challenging to get for a patient. So it helps resolve
(26:46):
complications while following a proper protocol and also supports the
skin's recovery, specifically afterwards if there is more of a
serious complication and we're wanting to restore that skin barrier.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
Now, as the aesthetic industry continues to evolve, new techniques
and technologies are always emerging, and professionals like yourself are
at the forefront of this ever changing landscape. I know
you most recently completed your Masters of Nursing Family Nurse
Practitioner program.
Speaker 4 (27:13):
Congratulations, thank you so much, and you're going.
Speaker 3 (27:16):
To continue, of course, to focus on patient education because
that's key. Mentoring other practitioners I think is truly important
at the heart of it all, and of course driving
innovation and medical aesthetics. So as someone who clearly values
continuing ed and innovation. How do you stay up to
date in Kanada's aesthetic industry, I mean, especially in an
air of such rapid advancements And secondarily, why do you
(27:39):
think it's so important for both practitioners and patients.
Speaker 7 (27:42):
So this is the area I'm probably most passionate about
because the pace of innovation and aesthetics is astonishing. There
are new techniques, products, safety protocols, and patient expectations are
ever evolving. So for me, staying current is not optional,
it's a professional responsibility. So for myself, I regularly attend
(28:06):
different national and international conferences to engage in advanced training
as well as meeting other experts in the field. So
for us, we need to dissect trends as well to
ensure that we're providing the best care for our patients,
because things become a fad and later we realize it
wasn't the best, so we have to always dive into
the science to ensure that that doesn't happen. Because esthetics
(28:30):
medical aesthetics is not just beauty, it's actually healthcare. So
if patients are trusting us with their appearance and their
health and well being, we have to invest in that
time and at the end of the day, right that
ongoing education for us fosters trust and ensures that that
ripples into the entire industry.
Speaker 4 (28:50):
I love it. Thank you so much. That's an incredible narrative.

Ben Greenfield from Ben Greenfieldlife dot com, and today we
are going to be chatting about grounding. That's right, I'm
(30:39):
standing outside barefoot this morning, right when I wake up.
Because anytime you get in touch with the surface of
the planet, and I try and do it for twenty
to thirty minutes minimum a day, you absorb all of
the healthy, anti inflammatory ions that the planet accumulates. Every
time lightning strikes the surface of the Earth or solar
(31:00):
radiation particles hit the surface of our planet. When your
skin gets in touch with that conductive surface, there's an
anti inflammatory effect that's fantastic for your whole body. There's
even books and documentaries that a lot of people don't
know about written on the benefits of grounding and earthing.
So whether it's going for a walk with your shoes
on and stopping and touching the ground, doing some pushups,
(31:22):
I do that sometimes. Whether it's wearing grounding or earthing shoes. Yes,
they make those things like earth runners or plugs or
grounds or brands of earthing or grounding shoes, or like me,
if you just go outside in the morning and stand barefoot.
These are all ways that you can enhance the anti
inflammatory effects of grounding. It's also fantastic by the way,

What if I told you the secret to live in longer,
stronger was already on your dinner plate. Yes, it's not
a magic pierl it's not This huge fountain of youth
that is promised is literally on your plate. Would you
believe me, I hope. So because today we're going to
(32:59):
talk about longevity diets. If you've not heard about longevity diets,
it's not a trend. It's actually something that has been
shown and is inspired by your glue zones. So what
is the definition of longevity diet? Well, just a big synopsis, okay,
is focusing on whole anti inflammatory, antioxidant rich foods, and
(33:24):
so longevity diets includes a couple of things that is
very important. Just to kind of run off this list.
Number one is plant based meals. So these are like
high in lagoons, you know, lentees peas or cheekpeas.
Speaker 4 (33:39):
That's very high.
Speaker 11 (33:40):
Soy is helpful and this plant based meal really boosts
antioxidant and boost anti inflammatory state, which is good to
avoid chronic diseases. Also, the longevity diet utilizes very minimal
or no processed food and the sugar is significantly cut down.
(34:03):
You want to eat natural nuts like almonds or pistachios.
Also moderate protein and mainly plant based protein. Eating meats sparingly,
like about five times a month is good, but plant
based protein is something that's very high and the longevity
diet and promoted another thing that we really looked at
(34:24):
is the anti inflammatory herbs and teas. This has been
shown to be a cornerstone in longevity diets, and that's
something that is used routinely and also regular fasting on
mindfood eating. So what are the science backed benefits of
longevity diets? So number one longer life expectancy, also cardiovascal
(34:45):
health and benefit.
Speaker 8 (34:47):
There is a known thing that eating a certain type
of meals improves your heart your heart conditions, So longeviic
d dyet is one of those things where it decreases
your heart attack rate by like thirty percent and also
heart related debts. We also have lower rates of chronic
disease as healthy bio markers. So the agent biomarkers are
(35:09):
high in longevity diets, which obviously leads to a more sustainable,
longer lifestyle. And some of this emergent evidence has.
Speaker 11 (35:19):
Been shown like polyphenols which are antioxidant compounds abundant in
berries and all this, and red wine has been shown
really to improve or activate certain genes related longevity and
help fent of agent. We also have your power of
lagoons which I've mentioned earlier that is good and part
(35:41):
of a longevity diet. So there's some meats and facts
that want to burst with a longevity diet myths. You
need to be vegan to live long. That is a myth.
Facts are bad for you? Is that facts or make
that is a myth? Is it about calorie or is
it about nutrients? Well, it's about nutrients and that's facts, okay.
(36:03):
And lastly, social connection and mindful eating. It calls better
digestion and longer life. Is that fact or myth? That
is a fact. So the bottom line is longevity guides
is healthy and good for you, and if you can
practice that in your everyday life, you're going to live
for a very long time. This is Doctor Decim for

the Expert on the microphone series. In the Better Brighter
You segment brought to you by Seispera, Today, we're tackling
a skincare concern that millions struggle with hyperpigmentation. Whether it's
post inflammatory marks, malasma, or sun damage, uneven skin tone
(37:33):
can be a persistent and frustrating issue.
Speaker 4 (37:36):
The challenge well, many treatments.
Speaker 3 (37:38):
Come with risks from irritation to unwanted side effects like hypopigmentation.
Speaker 4 (37:44):
That's where cutting edge science is changing the game.
Speaker 3 (37:47):
Sispera is one of the most advanced correcting treatments on
the market, delivering the power of traditional solutions like hydroquonine
without the risks backed by rigorous clinical trials, including studies
with over eighty percent of participants with skin of color.
Speaker 4 (38:03):
It's proving to be a dermatologist's favorite.
Speaker 3 (38:05):
And speaking of dermatologists, we're thrilled to have doctor Elise

what your skincare routine is missing.
Speaker 4 (38:35):
Welcoming now to the show is the amazing doctor Elise Love.
Welcome to the show, Superstar.
Speaker 12 (38:40):
Thank you for having me. I'm so excited to talk
about one of my favorite topics, hyperpigmentation or getting rid
of hyperpigmentation really.
Speaker 4 (38:48):
Or getting rid of it right and dermatology.
Speaker 3 (38:51):
Dermatology is one of the most rapidly advancing fields in medicine,
but it's also deeply, deeply personal and skincare isn't just
about looking good, about confidence, self expression and overall well being.
What inspired you to specialize in dermatology and how has
your approach evolved over the years to meet all these
diverse needs.
Speaker 4 (39:11):
Of your patients.
Speaker 12 (39:12):
Yeah, I mean that is exactly what you just said
was actually my journey to dermatology. So I always say
my journey to dermatology started as a patient. So I
suffered with pretty moderate to severe acne for years and
years and years. And it's not actually my struggle with
acne that led me to dermatology. It's once my skin
(39:33):
was clear and I realized the difference in my every
other aspect of my life. Once my skin was clear,
I realized that I was more outgoing. I realized that,
you know, I raised my hand in class, I wanted
to share ideas, I wanted to more participate in society.
That that I was like, this is amazing. So it's
(39:54):
really the quality of life impact of dermatology that led
me to, you know, go to medical school and eventually
become a dermatologists. From the beginning, my training has always
been there's been a focus on that quality of life impacts,
but also providing culturally competent care and realizing that, you know,
even if two people need the same medical treatment, you
(40:14):
may not approach that medical treatment, you may not approach
that conversation about that medical treatment in the same way.
And so I think that, you know, as we learn more,
we are all evolving. But I'm really grateful that that
focus on how do you provide clinically found and adequate
care to a diverse range of patients has always been
(40:38):
at the core of my medical factive.
Speaker 3 (40:40):
That's such a great perspective. Personalization in skincare is everything,
and it's amazing to hear how you prioritize that in
your practice.
Speaker 4 (40:47):
I love that.
Speaker 3 (40:48):
Now let's talk about treating hyper pigmentation in skin of color. So, hyperpigmentation,
as we know, is one of the top concerns among
dermatology patients, particularly those with darker skin tones, and research
shows that over sixty five percent of dermatology visits by black,
Hispanic and Asian patients involve concerns related to dark spots
and uneven skin tone. Why does hyperpigmentation tend to be
(41:12):
more persistent in deeper skin tones and how does this
impact the impact of the treatment decisions.
Speaker 12 (41:18):
It's the price that we pay for our beautiful melanin
throughout life, we're always more prone to hyper pigmentation. And
that's because anything that affects the skin, Almost anything that
affects the skin will leave the cart spot. So you
get one acne pimple, you have a dark spot from it.
You get an examarash, you get a dark spot from it.
(41:39):
And so these things just you know, these are normal
things that are accumulating throughout the throughout the week, throughout
the monk, and then their thun damage can cause hypercigmentation.
We see that with aging and ulder skin type and
even malagma, which is the condition where the skin, you know,
instead of getting a rash, you can actually develop pigmentation.
(42:00):
This is more common in darker skin type, and so
we get that protection, that little extra protection from the sun.
There's like slower rates of aging, but almost anything in
everything makes us can potentially cause a dark spot or
pigmentation in the skin.
Speaker 3 (42:16):
That's fascinating and it's really it really underscores why a targeted,
science backed approach is so necessary. Right now, let's talk
about traditional treatment approaches and their limitations. So when it
comes to treating hypermigmentation. We often hear about topical legions, lasers,
and chemical peels, but not all treatments are created equal.
(42:36):
Some can actually worsen pigmentation it's not used correctly, especially
in skin of color. From your perspective, what are the
most effective treatment approaches and what factors determine the best choice.
Speaker 12 (42:47):
For a patient. We know that pigmentation is a fourteen
step process, and so the more steps that you can
interfere with, you're going to have more effective treatment. But
we also know that irritation worse is pigmentation, and so
I see it all the time where my patients come
in and they're trying to do everything and they actually
make their pigmentation work. And so in terms of the
(43:10):
most effective type of pigmentation, I will say hyper pigmentation
can be complicated. It depends on how superficial it is.
It depends on how like dark the pigmentation is. But
and it also depends on your skin type, how sensitive
your skin is. But one of the really exciting things
that's happened over the past five years is that we're
getting more and more gentle topicals that also are very
(43:36):
effective for hyper pigmentation because it used to be that
you kind of you know, if you use something like gentle,
like a kochic acid, you know it would do a
little something, but not anything particularly magical. And then over
here you have like your your retinoid that can be powerful,
but can be completely or it can be irritating to
(43:56):
certain skin types. And so it's nice that now we
have things like sup Era that we can add into
the mix where it has been shown to be as
effective as actually hydroquinone based formulas, but has a much
higher tolerability on the skin, and even related to that,
there's no risk of overlightening the skin. And so that's
(44:18):
all we got answered.
Speaker 4 (44:19):
That was my next question.
Speaker 3 (44:20):
Okay, let's check the shift away from hydrocrenone and safer alternatives.
So for decades we know that hydrocrenone was considered the
gold standard for pigment correction, but we now know that
long term use can lead to serious side effects including
skin thinning, a chronosis, and even rebound hyperpigmentation. With newer
alternatives like seized sperra. How should patients weigh the effectiveness
(44:42):
versus safety debate when choosing a pigment correcting treatment.
Speaker 12 (44:46):
Yeah, I mean I think patients always want the safest option.
If you're telling me something, it's equally as effective, but
I can use it continuously and not worry about it.
I think that's always going to be the option that
patients go to. I do think h is a great
ingredient when used correctly, but it's really only a great
option for certain types of pigmentation because you know, I
(45:09):
see it often where someone has patient has gotten it
from somewhere else and they actually will cause like almost
like halo effects if they're trying to treat acne marks,
where it's almost like you have a little bull's eye
on your face now because you have the dark spot
and then right around it it's lighter, and then you
have your normal skin. And also, we would never use
hydropronoun for longer than twelve weeks, so even if it
(45:30):
works for you, it's not a sustainable option that we
would then say, oh, we found your hyperpigmentation treatment. Now
you can just you know, we're done, like it does
just continue this. And so it's incredible to have things
like Sispara and other more gentle, non bleaching skin treatment
(45:51):
options that you can use long term and you can
feel comfortable that it's going to work both in the
moment to help with the dark spots, but then also
as a maintenance alternative. So like for the SSPARA regimen,
it's daily for probably those first four months while you're
actively treating pigmentation, but then you can keep it into
your routine two times a week to maintain because, like
(46:15):
we said, we're always being assaulted with being second clasmic
mentation and so having that maintenance it's going to be necessary.
Speaker 4 (46:22):
Thank you for that thorough explanation, which brings me to
my next topic. Sispera unique mechanism. It's it's a dermatologist
preference and Sispera has been making waves in the DRM
world because it delivers results comparable to hydrocroinon without the risks,
and unlike traditional pigment corrects, it's powered by systemine, which
occurs naturally in human cells. So what makes this systeming a.
Speaker 3 (46:47):
Game changing and greeting in the fight against hypergummentation and
why do deerams trust sisperas an alternative.
Speaker 12 (46:53):
The things that make sc unique is the fact that
it can be used long term, the fact that it
does not cause any type of skin bleaching, so it
can be used consistently, and it can be used on
the full face. And so this is particularly relevant for
people who have hatchy molasmal or people who have post
acne marks. So you may have dark spots that are
(47:14):
scattered throughout the face, but it's really hard to spot
treat every single one of them, and so you can
use it on the whole face without worrying that you're
going to lighten the skin tone. And then the third
thing is the tolerability. Tolerability is a game changer for
treating hyper pigmentation because anything that irritates the sin can
potentially make the pigmentation worse. And so I think systeaming
(47:38):
is an incredible ingredient and we're getting more and more
of these ingredients coming to market.
Speaker 4 (47:43):
Yeah, steaming game change, It's incredible.
Speaker 3 (47:45):
So we're talking about a treatment that works in harmony
with the skin rather than against it, right, And that's
truly what it's about. And what I want to point
out is that I have been using seisphera and I
don't have any hyperfigmentation melasma or my skin is good,
but now it's even better because I have that brightness
(48:06):
that exactly right.
Speaker 4 (48:07):
Oh yeah, it just brightened me up. This is great
for just maintenance. So now I want to.
Speaker 3 (48:12):
Talk about exactly that the clinical trials and diversity in
dermatology research, which I think is so so important and
so underrated. A major issue in dermatology research is that
many clinical trials have historically excluded patients with skin of color,
and this has led to treatments that may not be
as effective or safe for darker complexions. Now Sisperas stands
(48:34):
out because it's clinical trials included over eighty percent of
participants with skin of color.
Speaker 4 (48:39):
Big shout out.
Speaker 3 (48:40):
How important is this kind of representation in dermatology research and.
Speaker 4 (48:45):
Do you think we're seeing real progress in this area.
Speaker 12 (48:47):
It's important from both the disease perspective and the treatment perspective.
So an example in terms of disease perspective is that
when we look we know that in visible light causes
pigmentation and darker skin chill, but it does not cause
pigmentation and lighter skin tones. And so if we didn't
do that study on every single skin type, we wouldn't
(49:09):
have that information. And it's the same for pigment fighting ingredients.
We know that some are not as effective on darker
skin tones. But also when we get back to the
point of irritation, so we know that if you're testing
out your formula on a lighter skin tone, you may
get some mild irritation, but that may not affect your results,
(49:31):
right because lighter skin tones are not as prone to
post inflammatoryation. But you may find that if you give
that same formula to someone with a darker skin tone,
that little bit of inflammation that your product creates may
actually inhibit your results. And so we are seeing this
push where more and more brands are including all five
(49:52):
skin type. But we definitely have to acknowledge and like
give a shout out and support the brands that I've
been doing it from the beginning to that.
Speaker 4 (50:01):
Now it's the truth.
Speaker 3 (50:03):
Now, if you have one piece of advice very quickly
you'd give to someone, Look, you just safely and effectively
treat that hyper figmentation.
Speaker 4 (50:09):
What would it be?
Speaker 12 (50:10):
Okay, Well, if I have one piece of advice, I
would say pigmentation is really complicated. It's even complicated for
me as a germatologist. So if you have the option
to go and be seen by a board certified grmatologist
and do this journey together, I highly recommend, but even
you know, I will honestly say most of the best
(50:30):
pigment fighters are over the counter. So if you are
going on this journey alone, there is social media for
like some extra board certified advice, but just remember to
go low and slow so more is not more. More
is not more when treating hyperpigmentation, because if you do
too much, you can worsen your results. So take it slow,
(50:55):
be patient, and just know that there are some incredible
options that you have that are over the counter.
Speaker 3 (51:01):
Well, thank you so much, doctor Love. It's been such
an enlightening conversation. Thank you for breaking down the signs
behind hyperplegamentation, safe treatment options and the power of dermatologists
