what it's like to share the spotlight as a family.
Welcome to the show, Superstars.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
Hey, you're doing so excited to have you both on. Lana,
you are so talented and so beautiful. Thank you for
joining me tonight. Thank you Dad.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
You are incredible at really getting her to where she's been.
And music has this incredible ability to connect people, But
when that connection is between a father and daughter, it
becomes something even more powerful. I mean, it's one thing
to sing together for fun, but it's another to build
a career together shared the stage.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
And watch each other growth from music.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
I know on your social media you do a lot
of that together, and of course a lot of the
spotlight is on Lana.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
But I want to start with you right now, Mendo.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
When did you first realize that Lana wasn't just singing along.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
But that she actually had real, undeniable talent.
Speaker 7 (05:47):
Yeah, so she basically started singing for a very long age,
like two or three years old, and when she was
around five, I could already hear her singing stuff, which
was basically impossible. So I gave her a teacher and
she learned for about one and a half years. And
then after those one and a half years of like
(06:07):
singing coaching, it was just undeniable. Her voice was just
like five six seven years older than her age. So
I started recording stuff in the studio and everybody was
just blown away by her voice. So from that moment on,
I just took it serious. I got another singing coach
who was really you know, big here, and yeah, she's
(06:31):
she joined the voice. And then what one thing after
the other happened, and it's just very naturally but yeah,
very exciting.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Wow, that's such a special moment, right in that moment
when you, as a dad recognized that kind of talent
in your own child. And then and then I love
that that it started so organically.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
I mean, you just kind of heard it. You kept pushing.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Lana from your side, My dear, What is it like
singing on the internet with your dad?
Speaker 4 (07:01):
Do you ever feel like he's more of a teacher?
Is it just fun all the time?
Speaker 8 (07:05):
No, it's really fun because I don't have to sing alone.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
The music is like bigger, more voice power, and together
they can sing together, and that's just fun.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
I love that you see it as both fun and
a learning experience. And you know, it must be amazing
to have your dad as both a mentor and a
singing partner. Right now, let's talk about going viral and
handling fame.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
At nine years old.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Okay, so the Internet has completely changed the way musicians
are discovered. A single post can go viral overnight, as
you know, and suddenly millions of people are watching. But
that kind of attention, especially at such a young age,
can be overwhelming. What is it like the first time?
What was it like, Lana that first time one of
your videos blew up?
Speaker 4 (07:53):
Did you realize what was happening?
Speaker 8 (07:56):
I didn't realize that what was happening, like, thought of
my dad, who was prank But then I really start
going up and up every day and I was like
so shocked.
Speaker 5 (08:11):
And I was actually very shocked.
Speaker 8 (08:14):
When Pink liked my video, I was like, oh my gosh,
my mom is her favorite friend and I am and
I love her.
Speaker 7 (08:24):
She's just this is unbelievable. Yeah, and it's not only Pink,
it's Demiel Lovado. She sang a song by Lawrence Smith
and she commented on her by herself it's it's it's incredible,
It's ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
So Meno, as a dad, how do you balance supporting
Lana's dreams but still making sure she gets to be
a kid.
Speaker 7 (08:44):
Yeah, So this is this is a this is a
very very important topic. So basically what I tried to
do is do most of it.
Speaker 9 (08:53):
By by myself, so.
Speaker 7 (08:56):
I'm on top of everything, you know, so like the
whole social media, I do it so she doesn't get
annoyed by anything or she doesn't have to do anything
by herself.
Speaker 9 (09:09):
So basically what we do to just record the videos.
Speaker 7 (09:12):
It takes her around twenty thirty minutes and she can
play and I'll do the rest. The good stuff about
it is is that Lana is not really like into fame.
She just likes singing, so she's very grounded in a way.
I saw this already when she was on the voice,
so she really liked it. She was very natural and
(09:35):
for her it was just all fun and she was
not busy with being famous or anything like. So I
think it's a character thing also that helps. So she's
not really like very.
Speaker 6 (09:47):
You know, ooh I'm famous.
Speaker 9 (09:49):
That was never the case.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
So yeah, I love that perspective.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
It's important to find that that balance and the industry
can move fast. But it's amazing to hear that her
happiness and her well being always comes first and that
she's doing this truly from passion. Now let's talk about
the most important thing, the Disney dream and singing for Ariel.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
I mean, that's come on.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
It doesn't get bigger and better than that, especially as
a nine year old. So let's talk about exactly that
every little girl dreams of being a Disney princess, but
very few actually get to become one. Well, you didn't
just get to sing Ariel songs. You became the voice
of Ariel in Germany. That's a huge deal. What was
that experience like and did you feel like you were
(10:32):
stepping into a fairy tale.
Speaker 8 (10:35):
I really liked it because I since I was like
a little little kill like for or something. I really
loved Disney and I always watched Ariel a real was
my favorite princess. I always wanted to be her. Her,
and now my dream just came to and I was like, no, no, no, no,
(10:59):
this can the right saying.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
Picked the wrong person, that's not me, that's not me.
Speaker 8 (11:06):
My name is Nana and m Then it was super
fun also because in this big studio it.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
Was like giant Yeah. It was a huge yeah, And
there was a wall and just on.
Speaker 8 (11:27):
The yes yea headphones the headphones, I could hear myself
and it was so cool.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
And there was a big screen and I just watched.
Speaker 9 (11:39):
The watch the movie and you could sing.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
It the yeah. That was so fun that it magical.
Speaker 9 (11:47):
She had also like.
Speaker 7 (11:49):
Intense promotional gigs and everything, like she sang for the
whole Disney.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
Enterprise. Basically Wow, that's absolutely incredible.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
And to do all of that at just nine years old,
it's so inspiring. Now, no, no, as a musician, what
was it like watching your daughter step into such an
iconic role.
Speaker 6 (12:09):
It's unbelievable.
Speaker 7 (12:11):
It's I still cannot process it, like every day, like
if I see because it's not only like everything like
just being so fast. So basically, she joined the Voice Kids.
She wanted to do this from the age seven. At
age seven, we said, okay, you're a little bit too young.
Then she did it with eight and we're like, no.
Speaker 5 (12:32):
No, it was other.
Speaker 8 (12:34):
I wanted to do it when I was five, and
then I asked every year, every month, and.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
Then my mom was like, oh my gosh, it's fine,
you can go, but if you don't, will don't be sad.
Speaker 8 (12:51):
And I was like, okay, fine, And then I ask
every month like Mom, can I go to the Vice Kids?
Speaker 6 (12:58):
Mom?
Speaker 5 (12:58):
Can I go through the Vice Kid?
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Mom?
Speaker 5 (13:00):
Can I go to the Voice Kits?
Speaker 6 (13:02):
Mom?
Speaker 5 (13:02):
Cann't go to the Voice Kits? And then one time
she was so stressed on me she was.
Speaker 7 (13:07):
Like yeah, yeah, so and and then and then she
joined and then she reached the final and then Disney
came so it was during the Voice Kids, during the
finals preparations, and then she came to us, you know,
through the Voice, So I think that they already uh
(13:28):
there was a scout at the Voice and they saw
her and they were blown away and she wanted to.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
Work with us.
Speaker 7 (13:34):
So everything the wind, No, but it was just so
much at once, you know, and if you know, like
as a musician, as a you know, a singer and
a writer, I was like, what is happening?
Speaker 9 (13:48):
This is too much at once.
Speaker 10 (13:49):
So it was like when it's meant to be, it's
meant to be, right, Yeah, right, such a beautiful, full
circle moment. Music has always been your passion and now
you get to watch live out her dreams too.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
So let's chat what's next for the two of you.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
With everything you've already accomplished, viral videos, massive streaming numbers,
live performances in Disney, it's hard to believe that this
is just the beginning. So what's next for both of you?
Any new exciting music or exciting projects coming up?
Speaker 7 (14:19):
Yeah, So basically what we're doing right now, I'm writing
several songs because everybody's bagging online for her own songs.
And I was like who wants to listen to it?
You know, a single of a nine year old, but
I was I was already, you.
Speaker 6 (14:34):
Know, because of that.
Speaker 7 (14:35):
The other thing like what happened when she was seven,
but that was more of a dance song basically. So yeah,
but everybody is like writing, Okay, she has to have
her own songs, writing songs at the moment, like I
already have like eight or nine songs. So that we're
doing that. And then there is another international, big thing
(14:56):
which I cannot talk about yet.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
That sounds amazing.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
I've no doubt that whatever you both do next will
be just as magical as everything you've already done.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
Lana, do you have a dream?
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Yeah, Lana, do you have a dream collaboration or a
big goal you're hoping to achieve next?
Speaker 8 (15:12):
That's I can sing with Adele Oriana because they are
I love them. They just they're so good and say
I want to meet them and just sing with them.
Speaker 3 (15:28):

the Voice of New York iHeartRadio. I'm your host, zen
Zam's welcome back to the Polished Beauty segment, where we
break down the science behind beauty, wellness, and confidence. Today's
conversation is one that will resonate with millions of women
navigating a stage of life that's often misunderstood, perimenopause and menopause.
(19:20):
Today we're chatting metabolism, menopause, and muscle, the science.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
Of aging gracefully.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
Now we hear about the hot flashes, the mood swings,
and the weight gain, But what's really happening inside our bodies?
Speaker 4 (19:32):
That's the question.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
More importantly, how can we take control of our metabolism,
our body composition, and overall well being during this particular phase,
joining us to break down the science behind muscle retention,
fat loss, and the hormonal shifts that impact our bodies
during menopause and perimenopause. Is a true expert in the field,
doctor Bill Campbell. He's a professor and director of the
(19:54):
Performance and Physique Enhancement Laboratory at the University of South Florida.
He spent decades searching how we can optimize our body
composition through evidence based nutrition and exercise. His work focuses
on high protein diets, diet breaks, and muscle building strategies,
particularly in women going through hormonal changes. And of course,
(20:15):
I'm joined by my brilliant contributor for this segment, doctor
Daisy Aim. She's a triple Board certified cosmetic surgeon and
obgyn and founder of the Polish Beauty podcast. She brings
a wealth of knowledge on women's health, aesthetics, and wellness.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
Making her the perfect co contributor for today's discussion.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
Welcoming now to the show, our doctor Bill and doctor Daisy.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
Thanks for joining me, superstars, Hello Gig, thank you for
having me. So excited to have you both on. Doctor
Daisy welcome back, well, thank you and doctor Cambro.
Speaker 13 (20:47):
I can't wait see here your brilliant contribution to this topic.
Speaker 6 (20:51):
Yeah, I'm very more passionate than I've been about anything
in my career to go into this space, So I'm
ready to go.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
Wow, that's the huge endorsement. So let's chat.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
Let's dive right in the impact of menopause on metabolism.
It's no secret that menopause brings unwanted weight gain, particularly
around the midsection, and according to research, women can gain
an average of five to eight percent of their body
weight during menopause, maybe even more due to hormonal changes
in a natural decline and muscle mass. But what's frustrating
(21:23):
is that many women feel like they're doing everything right,
eating well, exercising, and just still struggling to see results.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
Now, doctor Bill, you've studied this extensively.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
What exactly is happening to a woman's body during menopause
and why does fact seem to shift so dramatically to
the abdominal area.
Speaker 6 (21:41):
Yeah, so two things are happening. One is hormonal, So
two hormones really at play here. Estrogen estra dial starts
to go down in about two years. I'd like to
refer to a menopause transition, which is about a four
year period going from pre to postmen pause. So during
these four years, what we have is estrogen levels going
(22:05):
down and FSH follicle stimulating hormone levels going up. So
that's what's going on hormonally. And then along with that
two body composition changes that are highly relevant. One, for
the first time in a female's life, she starts to
lose muscle tissue. Up until this point, she's gaining a
(22:25):
little bit of muscle tissue each year. So there's one
big change. And then the other change is there's an
inflection point of gaining body fat around this menopause transition
as well, and women are gaining some body fat going
into thirties forties, but during this menopause transition, there's an
inflection point where the rate of body fat gain starts
(22:48):
to really increase, and the news gets a little bit worse.
The gain in body fat is not uniformly distributed, as
you mentioned, We actually have a redistribution of fat where
they're gaining more fat in the a of the abdominal
region more so than in the lower body.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Oh, but it's validating to hear, and I think a
lot of women assume they're failing at weight management, but
really it's their physiology changing and the fact that muscle
retention plays such a key role is also a game changer.
Speaker 13 (23:22):
Yeah, that's actually well documented, like you mentioned, and a
lot of women struggle during that time. Professor, do you
have any specific types of training resistant exercise that you
recommend for women going through this period of time.
Speaker 6 (23:37):
The best thing one can do is resistance train. It
provides an anabolic stimulus to the body. So what I
recommend is a is to lift with relatively heavy weights.
And let me just explain. I use something called the
pink dumbbell example. I'm shaming pink dumbbells, by the way,
So be prepared when you If you pick up a weight,
(24:02):
or you go to lift a weight and you can
lift it more than twenty times, that weight is too light.
So the most important thing that you do when you're
lifting weights is to choose a weight with the appropriate
amount of effort, and that weight is relatively heavy. So
I recommend that most of your lifting sets you choose
(24:25):
a weight that you can lift between approximately six and
twelve times. Now, sometimes you'll choose weights that are heavier,
particularly if you're able to squat and deadlift and bench press.
Sometimes you'll choose weights that allow you to do more
than twelve repetitions, but the sweet spot is choosing weights
that you can do between six and twelve times, and
(24:47):
you can't do it more than that. So lifting with
relatively heavy weights to where you really can't do another
repetition or two is the fundamental resistance training principle that
I like to educate people on.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
That's good. I mean, I totally agree with that.
Speaker 13 (25:06):
You know, because women generally tend to be concerned that
lifting heavyweights will get bulky, and I think is always good.
At least I reassure them that, no, you have to
try really hard to look like Miss Olympia.
Speaker 4 (25:17):
So I'm glad you. I'm glad you reiterate that perfect.
Speaker 13 (25:23):
You're such a big advocate on creating supplementation, especially for women,
which I think is wonderful. Can you explain how creatin
benefits menopausal women specifically?
Speaker 6 (25:34):
Yeah, so there's one area we know. It's benefits on
muscle building. So that's documented across the lifespan young males
and females, but specifically to females. One of the unfortunate
attributes of going through menopause is a significant increased risk
for osteoporosis, and scientists will typically measure two areas. They'll
(25:55):
look at the low back, so the low spine and
the hip reach. And we have several studies in women
going through menopause that creating supplementation is able to help
preserve bone mineral density in the hip, specifically the femoral neck.
So just this big bone in your hip. They're still
(26:19):
losing bone mineral density, but they're losing significantly less when
they're supplementing with creating. So creating has muscle benefits and
specific to this phase of life, it also helps preserve
bone mineral density, which is exactly what we need.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
Okay, that makes so much sense, and it fits perfect
with my next question because I want to talk about
protein and menopausal women.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
Right.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
So, protein is often seen as a body builder's nutrient,
but the truth is it's one of the most critical
macronutrients for women over forty and even the studies suggest
that menopausal women, even perimenopausal women, actually need more protein
than younger adults to support muscle maintenance and recovery. Now,
in your research, what have you found to be the
optimal protein intake for menopausal but I actually want to
(27:08):
also address the perimenopausal women trying to maintain or even
just improve body composition.
Speaker 6 (27:13):
Yeah, so I refer to protein as the menopause nutrient.
Why do I do that? Well, three main reasons. One,
we already discussed for the first time, women are starting
to lose muscle. What does protein do? It builds muscle.
The second reason is because we know that most women
do not consume enough protein. Now that's generally drew across
(27:37):
the life stage, but particularly during menopause, women get about
half of what they need, So it helps build muscle.
We know they're not getting enough. We know they're not
getting enough protein in their diet. And the third reason
is it also helps reduce body fat. Now this is
(27:58):
only true if you're previously deficient or not eating enough
protein and you take it to optimal levels. So this
whole this gaining of body fat can actually be addressed
when you optimize protein.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
So piggybacking off that diet breaks and metabolic adaptation because
it kind of goes.
Speaker 14 (28:17):
Hand in glove with what you're saying, right, A lot
of women go into these extreme calorie restriction when they
start gaining weight, but only to hit like this plateau
and feel even more frustrated.
Speaker 4 (28:28):
So your research on diet breaks challenges the idea that
constant restriction is the best way to lose weight. Can
you explain how structured diet breaks can actually.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
Help menopausal women with long term fat loss without wrecking
their metabolism.
Speaker 6 (28:43):
Yeah, So, just to be clear, my research on diet
breaks was always in younger people, but I don't think
that changes the principles of applying that research to a
midlife woman. So one thing about dieting, it's a very
cat It is a catabi process. So everything about a
diet is breaking down, which is good for body fat,
(29:05):
but it also this catabolic environment is not good for
muscle mass. So when we take a diet break, what
we're doing is saying, hey, stop dieting for a period
of time. Typically it's seven to fourteen days. And what
we're doing is a couple things. We're bringing the body
out of a catabolic environment and now into a potentially
(29:25):
anabolic environment because we're going back to pre dieting maintenance calories.
We don't have to be concerned about gaining body fat.
When we take a diet break, but it really allows
the body to recover and then when we go back
to dieting, we have more motivation and we'll respond better.
(29:45):
So my research specifically is reported that diet breaks are
some people call them refeeds. They help with hunger, the
psychology of hunger, So people aren't they don't have as
high of a drive to eat when they incorporate these.
We been able to maintain muscle mass and metabolic rate
from being suppressed or getting lowered during these very long term,
(30:08):
consistent diets.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
So giving the body these breaks can actually help prevent
metabolic slowdowns.
Speaker 4 (30:15):
That's a total mindset shift. Thanks for sharing that, Yeah,
thank you.
Speaker 13 (30:19):
Aside from protein and creatine, are there any of us
supplements that menopausal women should consider for fat laws, muscle
maintenance of oral health? You know, supplementation is a big deal,
So do you have any others?
Speaker 6 (30:33):
I think fish oil would be one unless somebody's naturally
eating a lot of fish so that this helps optimize
Omega three levels. I also recommend multi vitamin multimineral supplement.
Other than those two things, I don't really And again
I spent my whole career studying dietary supplements relative to
(30:54):
building muscle and losing fat. I don't have a lengthy
list of things that are going to move the needle
as much as creating and protein. So those are the
those are the heavy hitters, so to speak.
Speaker 9 (31:09):
I like that you touch on that because I call
it the supplement culture.
Speaker 4 (31:13):
It's huge.
Speaker 13 (31:14):
So you have women taking ten fifteen tablets a day,
and yes, there's some discussion about it, which is important,
but I'm glad you really just focused to the core
ones because I think you can get caught up and
end up taking so many pills that you really don't
see the benefit.
Speaker 6 (31:31):
Yeah, and I'm just thinking of my wife. She's talking
of like all the she's been in exactly that, Like
as she exists is I can't stand taking all these
different pills. So we definitely, you know, because we see
different physicians and everybody has their own recommendations, but exactly
to what you said, it can be overwhelming every day
taking all of these pills. So I've heard it in
(31:52):
my own home.
Speaker 4 (31:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
Now, hormones they play. I want to just touch on
hormones and body composition. We've been talking about it, but
just being mindful of the time for a couple of
minutes left. They hormones play a massive role in where
and how we store fat. Estrogen in particular has been
shown to influence fat distribution, muscle mass, and even appetite regulation. Now,
(32:14):
with estrogen levels dropping during perimenopause and menopause, how does
this shift impact body composition and is there anything women
can do to work with these changes instead of fighting
against them?
Speaker 6 (32:28):
So what I'm still doing a lot of reading about
what happens internally as to why this shift occurs. One
of the things that may happen I believe I read
a study in rodent models we actually have a change
in estrogen receptor density to the abdominal region, so that
that would make sense. But again I'm still early in
this research and in terms of what women can do,
(32:54):
there's regardless if you're gaining weight or not, what we
know is happening is your estrogen levels are declining. So
to this, I would say you should at least consider
estrogen therapy. Now I'm not saying you have to go
on it. That is that is a decision between the
patient and her evidence based physician. But what I found
(33:16):
is a lot of women just they just completely just
say no, and they don't really have a good reason
as to why they're saying no. And I struggled with
this too. My wife went through menopause and had a
very difficult time. And this was before I was devoting
my career my research to this area. I was very
ignorant and had to do a lot of education. And
(33:40):
one of the big the major things that I've learned,
I wish we would have started my wife on hormone
replacement therapy sooner. Now, again, that was our decision. I
did all the scientific reading, we consulted with physicians. But
I think what my general response is, if you're going
to choose not to go on HRT, just have reason
(34:00):
as to why. Don't be fearful of it without having
the appropriate conversations with your physician.
Speaker 4 (34:06):
Yeah, that makes so much sense. And I think a
lot of women are misinformed.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
They hear HRT causes cancer, they hear all kinds of
stuff that's.
Speaker 4 (34:15):
Just just misinformed.
Speaker 3 (34:19):
And I think it really begins with speaking to a
practitioner and to a physician that can really probably guide you.
Speaker 4 (34:25):
Experts like yourselves are not easily found.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
So I'm glad that we can blanket the voice here
further than just your local practices. Doctor Daisy, I know
you have some questions on the future of women's fitness.
Speaker 4 (34:40):
Yes, yes, Doctor Campbell. What are some emergent trends of
fitness and nutritional research that excites you and specifically around
this time? Do you care to share with us?
Speaker 6 (34:51):
Oh? I would love to so right now, my research
team and I we just were about to make this
go live. It's actually the first menopause fitness survey. So
when we sat down, I realized to you know, like
I want to start doing getting some information. Thousands of
studies on menopause. We even have quite a few studies
(35:14):
now in women's fitness, but if you try to find
a survey where you're merging women who've embraced a fitness
lifestyle that are going through menopause, you won't find one
published survey because it doesn't exist. So effectively, my lab
is doing the first menopause fitness survey. So you have
(35:35):
to be to be eligible for this. You have to
be lifting weights, I think we said for the previous
six months. And we try to make this very open
such that anywhere from thirty five to seventy five years old,
because we're going to get data on women as they
perceive what will happen when they do go through menopause.
Then we have this perimenopause group, like what's happening right
(35:57):
now when you're going through it? And then we're geting
reflections of women who are postmenopausal what things did you
experience when you were going through this? And we have
a nutrition section and a very comprehensive fitness section, resistance training, cardio,
and a hormone replacement therapy section, and then finally a
(36:20):
weight loss or body composition section. So that's what our
survey is going to cover.
Speaker 4 (36:26):
What sign me up?
Speaker 3 (36:28):
I was gonna say, doctor Daisy, you are the perfect
demographic for this.
Speaker 13 (36:34):
Yes, I have some clienteles here that will be slutly
part of this, doctor Campbell, So let me know how
it can be of help.
Speaker 6 (36:40):
That would if you could spread the word, that would
be great. It's like I said, I've been doing research
for twenty years and the shift to take my skill
set into this menopause transition population has given me so
much new energy and excitement.
Speaker 4 (36:59):
Wow, are officially out of time.
Speaker 3 (37:01):
This conversation could go on for another thirty minutes easily,
and we can still keep chatting, you know, as.
Speaker 4 (37:08):
If we just started. So I thank you so much
for coming on.
Speaker 3 (37:11):
It was really really transpire, it was it was it
refreshing to see a male's perspective with such passion.
Speaker 4 (37:19):
So I thank you for coming on.
Speaker 3 (37:21):
Not only have you done the research, not only are
you advocating for this particular community, but you're also you're
also making strides, You're and you're changing the narrative, which
I love.
Speaker 4 (37:33):
So thank you. Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 6 (37:35):
And really we should thank my wife because her experience
is what opened my eyes, so she unfortunately wasn't a
good experience.
Speaker 4 (37:42):
But thank you missus Campbell. Big shout out to missus Campbell.
But yeah, thank you, thank you, Yeah, thank you, doctor Campbell,
thank you both.

Speaker 3 (39:12):
Sam's up next in the Going Deep segment, brought to
you by a CO two lift in our expert on
the Microphone series. Today, we're joined by Board certified plastic surgeon,
doctor Evana Percheck. She is the Associate Director of Cosmetic
Surgery and Assistant Professor of Surgery at Penn Medicine.
Speaker 4 (39:30):
Her love of science, art, and working with her.
Speaker 3 (39:33):
Hands naturally dovetailed into a career in plastic surgery, sculpting
people's faces and bodies, where she has excelled for over
a decade. She joins me today to discuss how she
is transforming people's lives, from esthetic facial procedures to reconstructing
survivors of female genital mutilation. Welcoming now to the show
is the amazing doctor Evana Percheck.
Speaker 4 (39:54):
Welcome superstar, Thank you very much.
Speaker 15 (39:56):
I'm very pleased to be here, so.
Speaker 3 (39:58):
Excited to have you. You have quite the impressive resume.
Speaker 4 (40:02):
But before we dive in, let's look back to the beginning.
Speaker 3 (40:06):
I know you rotated through various medical specialties but ultimately
landed on plastic surgery and have been quoted saying finding
plastic surgery was like coming home, and a facial surgery
was one of the first operations you ever witnessed, an
experience that really stuck with you. What initially drew you
to the plastic surgery field, and how do you see
(40:28):
aesthetic procedures ultimately transforming lives?
Speaker 15 (40:32):
Great question, You're right, it was like coming home. And
in fact, I come from a long line of scientists
and artists in my family and academicians, and what I
loved growing up was all of those things science, art, aesthetics, fashion,
and when I found medicine and the art of healing.
All of those really put together defines plastic surgery. So
(40:55):
you're looking at patients from a very holistic standpoint. You're
looking at the out side, You're treating the outside and
the inside. You're being artistic, meticulous, creative, and scientific.
Speaker 3 (41:07):
Yeah, I mean a lot of people view aesthetic surgery
is fairly superficial. So I love that you highlight how
it doesn't just change how you look, but also changes
how you feel.
Speaker 4 (41:16):
And I know you've even talked.
Speaker 3 (41:17):
About how aesthetic surgery has the ability to lower inflammation
in the body, because if you feel good about how
you look, it decreases your cortisol levels, which ultimately alters
the rest of your anatomy and decreases the inflammatory process,
which is just fascinating because it's just a domino effect
right now now for patients seeking plastic surgery procedures. Only
(41:39):
half the battle is the procedure, but the other half
is recovering. And while recovery isn't necessarily easy, there are
things providers can do to make it easier if you will.
Speaker 4 (41:48):
And one of my favorites is CO two Lift, which is.
Speaker 3 (41:51):
Non invasive, clinically proven, and medical grade carboxy gel that
I mean not only offers the monotherapy benefits, but can
significantly improve a patient's results and comfort post procedure. I'd
love to know, doctor, how do you help your patients
in the recovery process with products like CO two lift
And have you noticed measurable differences in recovery times or
(42:15):
outcomes when patients implement these treatments post procedure.
Speaker 4 (42:19):
Absolutely.
Speaker 15 (42:20):
I think what we've learned is preparation of the patient
before the surgery and after the surgery is critical and
CO two Lift, to me, has been an amazingly powerful
approach to do that. It's easily tolerated. You put a
mask on a couple of days before the procedure in
the area that you're going to treat, and then you
(42:40):
do the same immediately after the procedure for a week
or more afterwards, and it transforms people's tissues in a
very simple way. It's it's subtle, but very very powerful,
and it's tolerated by everybody. And I think what we've
come to learn is that you really have to think
and be purposeful in preparing your mind and your body
(43:03):
for the surgery, and that way you will have the
maximum outcome.
Speaker 4 (43:07):
I love that you said prepare your mind and your body.
Speaker 3 (43:10):
It's so important because it's just so connected and it's
like it's true mind over matter essentially.
Speaker 4 (43:16):
It's a perfect example.
Speaker 3 (43:18):
Now, you're also very well known for your work with
survivors of female genital mutilation also known as FGM, which
defined by the World Health Organization, comprises all procedures that
involve partial or total removal of the external female genitalia
or other injury to the female general organs for non
(43:39):
medical reasons, and more than two hundred and thirty million
girls and women today have undergone female genital mutilation in
thirty countries in Africa, the Middle East, and Asia where
FGM is practice. Now, I know your first general mutilation
patient came to you through a referral from a gynocologist,
and no other surgeon would agree to take on the case.
Speaker 4 (44:01):
However, you, my.
Speaker 3 (44:02):
DearS, stepped up and actually created a new reconstructive procedure
that has now helped numerous women increase sexual function and
ultimately heal the emotional and psychological wounds associated with mutilation.
Can you please tell us more about this FGM reconstructive
surgery and why female health and wellness is so important
(44:23):
to you as a whole.
Speaker 15 (44:24):
Everything drove me, the misunderstanding under treatment of women, the
fact that women were ashamed and shouldn't be for having
gone this procedure, just like they might be ashamed of
having a facelift, but this even more so because they
didn't select to have this. They were traumatized, They were victims.
Speaker 4 (44:41):
And so the.
Speaker 15 (44:42):
Women who come to see me are trying to empower
themselves to take that power back, and so it was
a challenge. I saw it as my duty as kind
of the universe coming to me with the opportunity to
create a meaningful change, something for good, for a population
of women who who had suffered their entire lives with
(45:03):
not just functional deficits like pain, but also with psychological
deficits like trauma, depression, anxiety, all the other things that
come along with that.
Speaker 3 (45:13):
Wow, I mean, the work you're doing is so invaluable
and I'm so glad you took this on. You know,
patients really are suffering all over the world, and you're very,
very proactive. It really sets you on a path that
not only added another avenue to your career, but it
also gives you such a meaningful purpose.
Speaker 4 (45:31):
It's so beautiful. Good job, good job. I'm literally I
love what you're doing. Now.
Speaker 3 (45:36):
What are some of the most common vaginal surgeries you
perform and what concerns do women typically have when seeking
these procedures. I know it's not an easy leap for
you know, for any decision, it's not easy for anyone
to make.
Speaker 15 (45:50):
No absolutely, and it's a hard topic to talk about,
which I think is why people come to me because
I'm very open and I am very comfortable speaking about it.
So I see lot of women both young and old,
who come in for labia plasty, which is mostly just
a rejuvenation or a trimming of the inner lips of
the vaginal region, or a clitteroplasty, which is a lifting
(46:12):
or an exposure of the clitorist to make it function
better and look better. We're all very sensitive to the face,
the breasts, for example, and other parts of the body,
but the vaginal region or the vulvar region is the
last frontier, and I think we finally started to conquer it,
both through the FGM work and that coming to light
and women being able to take their power back and
(46:33):
speak about it, but also just for things that are
maybe not functional, and a labia plastic can be functional
in the sense that it could impair a woman from
doing the exercises that she likes, from enjoying intimate moments
in the way that she likes, and so it affects
all of those components and we can improve on all
of them.
Speaker 4 (46:53):
Yeah, yeah, great points.
Speaker 3 (46:56):
And I know CO two lift also has that vaginal
rejuvenation JELB products two lift V in your experience, What
role do non invasive treatments like the CO two lift
V play in recovery and overall vaginal health.
Speaker 15 (47:09):
They play a huge role in their recovery, especially as
we're going through a phase where we're starting to talk
about and be open about the menopausal changes and perimenopausal
and pre menopausal changes that women are undergoing. So the
CO two V has been instrumental in helping women who
are even non surgical actually have a more robust sexual experience,
(47:34):
less dryness, more comfort in those regions, but especially if
they're undergoing surgery, the v lift is really helpful with
cutting down inflammation, bringing blood flow to the region, and
allowing those women to heal a lot faster in an
area that's normally very sensitive and can be traumatized with
(47:54):
more invasive techniques.
Speaker 4 (47:56):
So many great use cases this product has.
Speaker 3 (47:58):
I love it, and it's so simple, and it's backed
by science and clinically researched and verified.
Speaker 4 (48:03):
It's even been compared to.
Speaker 3 (48:04):
A hyperbaric oxygen chamber by some of the top plastic surgeons,
so I love this feedback. Now, in addition to your
work and surgery, you also run the per Check Anti
Aging Lab, which you founded in twenty ten to study
how stem cells from fat tissue impact the aging process
at various stages, as well as how those cells impact
(48:25):
scar tissue formation and face and body rejuvenation. I think
this is so important as younger generations are focusing more
and more on preventative skincare, with many adopting proactive routines
and seeking out specialized care early. You know, early on
before these problems arise, and with your research you can
work on delaying the aging process by intervening at this
(48:48):
cellular level. How do you see the role of stem
cells and regenitive medicine and natural anti aging products like
CEO two lift shaping the future of plastic surgery and
stef treatments.
Speaker 15 (49:01):
We're already seeing a lot of those functions coming to
force in the patient treatment arena. For example, you might
not be able to use stem cells directly. We use
them indirectly a little bit in fat grafting. We know
that when you transfer fat, it contains a high proportion
of adipose stem cells, and so what happens is, over
the course of time, those stem cells help to rejuvenate
(49:23):
the regions that you place them in, and I use
that for all of my lavia plasty and my FGM reconstructions,
my facelifts, for example. But something like exisomes, those are
all coming to become very popular. And exosomes derived from
stem cells contain very powerful nutrients that can be delivered
either by injection or topically, And so the stem cells
(49:45):
are really our reservoir of a new, youthful molecules that
have not undergone the aging process that non stem cells have.
Speaker 4 (49:57):
Wow, you're full of knowledge. I love this.
Speaker 3 (50:00):
This is also fascinating to me, and I love that
this generation is about preventative medicine and really studying the science. Recently,
we had a researcher here, doctor Serenia Wilds from Mayo
Clinic in Minnesota, and she's saying exactly what you're saying,
that exosomes regenitive medicine being at the forefront of these
new you know, researched, verified, and still I mean ongoing
(50:24):
research of course needs to be done even deeper.
Speaker 4 (50:27):
But you're right, this is the new era and it's no.
Speaker 3 (50:31):
Longer about overfilled lips or that overdone pillow face. Look,
people are just opting for more natural even with their
breast augmentations that they just want a more natural look
or just a natural lift, right, So yeah, it's the
industry is definitely changing and.
Speaker 15 (50:47):
I think the biggest challenge we face and I faced
the challenge myself when I was running my lab and
trying to get grants from the NAH. For example, no
institution wants to fund something that they consider elect are superficial,
and yet all of the patients, all of the people
in this country and all over the world are using
these treatments. So it's our duty as physicians, as scientists
(51:11):
to look at the effects of these treatments to whether
they're effective, are they safe, how can we use them
in the best way possible. And that's what we're doing
with carboxylift, with EXI zones, with stem cells. You have
to do that kind of research, but it's really now
the companies and private sources that are funding the research
and we have to move forward because the public wants
(51:32):
that information.
Speaker 3 (51:34):
Yeah, well, I'm so glad you said that, and I'm
so glad we had you on. I love our experts
on the microphone and you fit the check You fit
the every every single check mark perfectly.
Speaker 4 (51:44):
Thank you so much for shedding so much light and information.
Speaker 3 (51:48):
That was our going Deep segment brought to you by
CO two Lift, and that was the incredible Board certified
plastic surgeon Doctor Evana Perchek definitely had to penmedicine dot

Tune into a Moment of Zen Saturday nights from nine
to ten BM on seven ten Woor the Voice of
New York.
Speaker 17 (53:10):
Johnny Mee Twain is John Degastino, board member of EMA
and also head of strategy at Coinbase and Ditutional. So, John,
thank you so much for joining me. We have a
lot going on, but I do want to focus on
de banking when it comes to crypto and digital assets.
So do you think the distancing over concerns about bank safety,
money laundering as well as financial risk is in u
(53:34):
just a reflection of a disdain for crypto overall.
Speaker 18 (53:38):
So yeah, I mean, look, this is actually kind of fascinating.
What we've seen since even the last time I was
on the show is an extraordinary turn. So this concept
of the banking went from something that was relatively unknown
to wider audiences but well known within the industry, and
then Mark Dreesen goes on Joe Rogan, it becomes kind
of popular knowledge. Then there's a short period of hey,
(53:59):
maybe this isn't real, There's some pushback, and then we
go from that within the space of ten to twelve
days to the comments you're already you mentioned from a
FDIC chair at Travis Hill. I'll point out Jerome Powell
also on January thirty, first acknowledge that there's no role
for D banking, and then we had Cynthia Lemmis, who
is the chair of a new panel on digital assets,
(54:21):
go so far as to say that anyone at the
FDIC who gets rid of evidence around D banking will
face prosecution. So that's a really dramatic shift in tone
and messaging and narrative in the space of two weeks.
Speaker 4 (54:34):
So I think, yeah, I think that.
Speaker 18 (54:35):
The argument that this is a hostination or something that
didn't exist never existed, that's pretty much been completely debunked.
And now it comes to exactly what happened, how severe
was it, and to what degree should there be accountability
and consequences for those individuals who committed it.
Speaker 17 (54:51):
And I'm glad you brought that up because there are
a lot of expectations as we head into twenty twenty
five regarding the regular Tory landscape. But on this Monday morning,
I do want to take a look at where we
are in terms of crypto prices as well as the
strategic Bitcoin reserve. So for crypto majors, Bitcoin Undeath, we
(55:12):
are looking at a pullback this morning. But in terms
of a reserve, several US states, including Alabama, Arizona, Florida
launching initiatives for bitcoin strategic reserves, and Arizona and Utah are.
Speaker 4 (55:25):
Also advancing in the process.
Speaker 17 (55:26):
Now, President Trump did order the creation of a Digital
Asset Working Group, and they're cast was exploring a US
crypto stockpile. What the order doesn't provide further details. So
what do you expect to see when it comes to
a reserve in the coming months here in the US.
Speaker 18 (55:42):
I expect to see a growing clarification of what that
means effectively. So I think there's some people in the
bitcoin and cryptocurrency world that we will be disappointed at
the less than specific language regarding a bitcoin strategic reserve
and also how that bitcoin would actually be accumulated and
where it would just be existing stockpiles, not sold or
(56:04):
ussets accumulated.
Speaker 9 (56:05):
So I think perhaps that were little bit too much
I hope for in the first week.
Speaker 18 (56:09):
But what we have is serious momentum, not just the
state level, but also at the federal level. There is
again THEO Limis is leading this charge and leading the
efforts to examine how a bitcoin's future preserved, which again
many people believe will fundamentally strengthen monetary policy improve the
overall balance sheet of the US government will be a
(56:29):
decidedly good thing for the country as well as for
bitcoin holders, and that sort of will be clarified over
the coming weeks. I think what's important to note is
that as that clarification ensues, the rest of the world
is going to be watching extremely closely. No one wants
to be front run on a US mass purchase of
a finite spares asset like recoined, so I think you'll
(56:52):
see a little bit of brinksmanship as countries recognize if
the US does commit to this as policy, they have
to be at least on time with the US, if
not itally before in terms of making those acquisitions. So
everyone will be watching it very closely about the state, federal,
and international level.

what it's like to share the spotlight as a family.
Welcome to the show, Superstars.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
Hey, you're doing so excited to have you both on. Lana,
you are so talented and so beautiful. Thank you for
joining me tonight. Thank you Dad.
Speaker 3 (05:11):
You are incredible at really getting her to where she's been.
And music has this incredible ability to connect people, But
when that connection is between a father and daughter, it
becomes something even more powerful. I mean, it's one thing
to sing together for fun, but it's another to build
a career together shared the stage.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
And watch each other growth from music.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
I know on your social media you do a lot
of that together, and of course a lot of the
spotlight is on Lana.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
But I want to start with you right now, Mendo.
Speaker 3 (05:40):
When did you first realize that Lana wasn't just singing along.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
But that she actually had real, undeniable talent.
Speaker 7 (05:47):
Yeah, so she basically started singing for a very long age,
like two or three years old, and when she was
around five, I could already hear her singing stuff, which
was basically impossible. So I gave her a teacher and
she learned for about one and a half years. And
then after those one and a half years of like
(06:07):
singing coaching, it was just undeniable. Her voice was just
like five six seven years older than her age. So
I started recording stuff in the studio and everybody was
just blown away by her voice. So from that moment on,
I just took it serious. I got another singing coach
who was really you know, big here, and yeah, she's
(06:31):
she joined the voice. And then what one thing after
the other happened, and it's just very naturally but yeah,
very exciting.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Wow, that's such a special moment, right in that moment
when you, as a dad recognized that kind of talent
in your own child. And then and then I love
that that it started so organically.
Speaker 4 (06:52):
I mean, you just kind of heard it. You kept pushing.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
Lana from your side, My dear, What is it like
singing on the internet with your dad?
Speaker 4 (07:01):
Do you ever feel like he's more of a teacher?
Is it just fun all the time?
Speaker 8 (07:05):
No, it's really fun because I don't have to sing alone.
Speaker 5 (07:09):
The music is like bigger, more voice power, and together
they can sing together, and that's just fun.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
I love that you see it as both fun and
a learning experience. And you know, it must be amazing
to have your dad as both a mentor and a
singing partner. Right now, let's talk about going viral and
handling fame.
Speaker 4 (07:31):
At nine years old.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Okay, so the Internet has completely changed the way musicians
are discovered. A single post can go viral overnight, as
you know, and suddenly millions of people are watching. But
that kind of attention, especially at such a young age,
can be overwhelming. What is it like the first time?
What was it like, Lana that first time one of
your videos blew up?
Speaker 4 (07:53):
Did you realize what was happening?
Speaker 8 (07:56):
I didn't realize that what was happening, like, thought of
my dad, who was prank But then I really start
going up and up every day and I was like
so shocked.
Speaker 5 (08:11):
And I was actually very shocked.
Speaker 8 (08:14):
When Pink liked my video, I was like, oh my gosh,
my mom is her favorite friend and I am and
I love her.
Speaker 7 (08:24):
She's just this is unbelievable. Yeah, and it's not only Pink,
it's Demiel Lovado. She sang a song by Lawrence Smith
and she commented on her by herself it's it's it's incredible,
It's ridiculous.
Speaker 4 (08:37):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
So Meno, as a dad, how do you balance supporting
Lana's dreams but still making sure she gets to be
a kid.
Speaker 7 (08:44):
Yeah, So this is this is a this is a
very very important topic. So basically what I tried to
do is do most of it.
Speaker 9 (08:53):
By by myself, so.
Speaker 7 (08:56):
I'm on top of everything, you know, so like the
whole social media, I do it so she doesn't get
annoyed by anything or she doesn't have to do anything
by herself.
Speaker 9 (09:09):
So basically what we do to just record the videos.
Speaker 7 (09:12):
It takes her around twenty thirty minutes and she can
play and I'll do the rest. The good stuff about
it is is that Lana is not really like into fame.
She just likes singing, so she's very grounded in a way.
I saw this already when she was on the voice,
so she really liked it. She was very natural and
(09:35):
for her it was just all fun and she was
not busy with being famous or anything like. So I
think it's a character thing also that helps. So she's
not really like very.
Speaker 6 (09:47):
You know, ooh I'm famous.
Speaker 9 (09:49):
That was never the case.
Speaker 4 (09:50):
So yeah, I love that perspective.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
It's important to find that that balance and the industry
can move fast. But it's amazing to hear that her
happiness and her well being always comes first and that
she's doing this truly from passion. Now let's talk about
the most important thing, the Disney dream and singing for Ariel.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
I mean, that's come on.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
It doesn't get bigger and better than that, especially as
a nine year old. So let's talk about exactly that
every little girl dreams of being a Disney princess, but
very few actually get to become one. Well, you didn't
just get to sing Ariel songs. You became the voice
of Ariel in Germany. That's a huge deal. What was
that experience like and did you feel like you were
(10:32):
stepping into a fairy tale.
Speaker 8 (10:35):
I really liked it because I since I was like
a little little kill like for or something. I really
loved Disney and I always watched Ariel a real was
my favorite princess. I always wanted to be her. Her,
and now my dream just came to and I was like, no, no, no, no,
(10:59):
this can the right saying.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
Picked the wrong person, that's not me, that's not me.
Speaker 8 (11:06):
My name is Nana and m Then it was super
fun also because in this big studio it.
Speaker 4 (11:18):
Was like giant Yeah. It was a huge yeah, And
there was a wall and just on.
Speaker 8 (11:27):
The yes yea headphones the headphones, I could hear myself
and it was so cool.
Speaker 5 (11:34):
And there was a big screen and I just watched.
Speaker 9 (11:39):
The watch the movie and you could sing.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
It the yeah. That was so fun that it magical.
Speaker 9 (11:47):
She had also like.
Speaker 7 (11:49):
Intense promotional gigs and everything, like she sang for the
whole Disney.
Speaker 4 (11:55):
Enterprise. Basically Wow, that's absolutely incredible.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
And to do all of that at just nine years old,
it's so inspiring. Now, no, no, as a musician, what
was it like watching your daughter step into such an
iconic role.
Speaker 6 (12:09):
It's unbelievable.
Speaker 7 (12:11):
It's I still cannot process it, like every day, like
if I see because it's not only like everything like
just being so fast. So basically, she joined the Voice Kids.
She wanted to do this from the age seven. At
age seven, we said, okay, you're a little bit too young.
Then she did it with eight and we're like, no.
Speaker 5 (12:32):
No, it was other.
Speaker 8 (12:34):
I wanted to do it when I was five, and
then I asked every year, every month, and.
Speaker 5 (12:41):
Then my mom was like, oh my gosh, it's fine,
you can go, but if you don't, will don't be sad.
Speaker 8 (12:51):
And I was like, okay, fine, And then I ask
every month like Mom, can I go to the Vice Kids?
Speaker 6 (12:58):
Mom?
Speaker 5 (12:58):
Can I go through the Vice Kid?
Speaker 4 (13:00):
Mom?
Speaker 5 (13:00):
Can I go to the Voice Kits?
Speaker 6 (13:02):
Mom?
Speaker 5 (13:02):
Cann't go to the Voice Kits? And then one time
she was so stressed on me she was.
Speaker 7 (13:07):
Like yeah, yeah, so and and then and then she
joined and then she reached the final and then Disney
came so it was during the Voice Kids, during the
finals preparations, and then she came to us, you know,
through the Voice, So I think that they already uh
(13:28):
there was a scout at the Voice and they saw
her and they were blown away and she wanted to.
Speaker 4 (13:33):
Work with us.
Speaker 7 (13:34):
So everything the wind, No, but it was just so
much at once, you know, and if you know, like
as a musician, as a you know, a singer and
a writer, I was like, what is happening?
Speaker 9 (13:48):
This is too much at once.
Speaker 10 (13:49):
So it was like when it's meant to be, it's
meant to be, right, Yeah, right, such a beautiful, full
circle moment. Music has always been your passion and now
you get to watch live out her dreams too.
Speaker 4 (14:02):
So let's chat what's next for the two of you.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
With everything you've already accomplished, viral videos, massive streaming numbers,
live performances in Disney, it's hard to believe that this
is just the beginning. So what's next for both of you?
Any new exciting music or exciting projects coming up?
Speaker 7 (14:19):
Yeah, So basically what we're doing right now, I'm writing
several songs because everybody's bagging online for her own songs.
And I was like who wants to listen to it?
You know, a single of a nine year old, but
I was I was already, you.
Speaker 6 (14:34):
Know, because of that.
Speaker 7 (14:35):
The other thing like what happened when she was seven,
but that was more of a dance song basically. So yeah,
but everybody is like writing, Okay, she has to have
her own songs, writing songs at the moment, like I
already have like eight or nine songs. So that we're
doing that. And then there is another international, big thing
(14:56):
which I cannot talk about yet.
Speaker 4 (14:58):
That sounds amazing.
Speaker 3 (14:59):
I've no doubt that whatever you both do next will
be just as magical as everything you've already done.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
Lana, do you have a dream?
Speaker 3 (15:07):
Yeah, Lana, do you have a dream collaboration or a
big goal you're hoping to achieve next?
Speaker 8 (15:12):
That's I can sing with Adele Oriana because they are
I love them. They just they're so good and say
I want to meet them and just sing with them.
Speaker 3 (15:28):

Now we hear about the hot flashes, the mood swings,
and the weight gain, But what's really happening inside our bodies?
Speaker 4 (19:32):
That's the question.
Speaker 3 (19:33):
More importantly, how can we take control of our metabolism,
our body composition, and overall well being during this particular phase,
joining us to break down the science behind muscle retention,
fat loss, and the hormonal shifts that impact our bodies
during menopause and perimenopause. Is a true expert in the field,
doctor Bill Campbell. He's a professor and director of the
(19:54):
Performance and Physique Enhancement Laboratory at the University of South Florida.
He spent decades searching how we can optimize our body
composition through evidence based nutrition and exercise. His work focuses
on high protein diets, diet breaks, and muscle building strategies,
particularly in women going through hormonal changes. And of course,
(20:15):
I'm joined by my brilliant contributor for this segment, doctor
Daisy Aim. She's a triple Board certified cosmetic surgeon and
obgyn and founder of the Polish Beauty podcast. She brings
a wealth of knowledge on women's health, aesthetics, and wellness.
Speaker 4 (20:29):
Making her the perfect co contributor for today's discussion.
Speaker 3 (20:32):
Welcoming now to the show, our doctor Bill and doctor Daisy.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
Thanks for joining me, superstars, Hello Gig, thank you for
having me. So excited to have you both on. Doctor
Daisy welcome back, well, thank you and doctor Cambro.
Speaker 13 (20:47):
I can't wait see here your brilliant contribution to this topic.
Speaker 6 (20:51):
Yeah, I'm very more passionate than I've been about anything
in my career to go into this space, So I'm
ready to go.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
Wow, that's the huge endorsement. So let's chat.
Speaker 3 (21:02):
Let's dive right in the impact of menopause on metabolism.
It's no secret that menopause brings unwanted weight gain, particularly
around the midsection, and according to research, women can gain
an average of five to eight percent of their body
weight during menopause, maybe even more due to hormonal changes
in a natural decline and muscle mass. But what's frustrating
(21:23):
is that many women feel like they're doing everything right,
eating well, exercising, and just still struggling to see results.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
Now, doctor Bill, you've studied this extensively.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
What exactly is happening to a woman's body during menopause
and why does fact seem to shift so dramatically to
the abdominal area.
Speaker 6 (21:41):
Yeah, so two things are happening. One is hormonal, So
two hormones really at play here. Estrogen estra dial starts
to go down in about two years. I'd like to
refer to a menopause transition, which is about a four
year period going from pre to postmen pause. So during
these four years, what we have is estrogen levels going
(22:05):
down and FSH follicle stimulating hormone levels going up. So
that's what's going on hormonally. And then along with that
two body composition changes that are highly relevant. One, for
the first time in a female's life, she starts to
lose muscle tissue. Up until this point, she's gaining a
(22:25):
little bit of muscle tissue each year. So there's one
big change. And then the other change is there's an
inflection point of gaining body fat around this menopause transition
as well, and women are gaining some body fat going
into thirties forties, but during this menopause transition, there's an
inflection point where the rate of body fat gain starts
(22:48):
to really increase, and the news gets a little bit worse.
The gain in body fat is not uniformly distributed, as
you mentioned, We actually have a redistribution of fat where
they're gaining more fat in the a of the abdominal
region more so than in the lower body.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
Oh, but it's validating to hear, and I think a
lot of women assume they're failing at weight management, but
really it's their physiology changing and the fact that muscle
retention plays such a key role is also a game changer.
Speaker 13 (23:22):
Yeah, that's actually well documented, like you mentioned, and a
lot of women struggle during that time. Professor, do you
have any specific types of training resistant exercise that you
recommend for women going through this period of time.
Speaker 6 (23:37):
The best thing one can do is resistance train. It
provides an anabolic stimulus to the body. So what I
recommend is a is to lift with relatively heavy weights.
And let me just explain. I use something called the
pink dumbbell example. I'm shaming pink dumbbells, by the way,
So be prepared when you If you pick up a weight,
(24:02):
or you go to lift a weight and you can
lift it more than twenty times, that weight is too light.
So the most important thing that you do when you're
lifting weights is to choose a weight with the appropriate
amount of effort, and that weight is relatively heavy. So
I recommend that most of your lifting sets you choose
(24:25):
a weight that you can lift between approximately six and
twelve times. Now, sometimes you'll choose weights that are heavier,
particularly if you're able to squat and deadlift and bench press.
Sometimes you'll choose weights that allow you to do more
than twelve repetitions, but the sweet spot is choosing weights
that you can do between six and twelve times, and
(24:47):
you can't do it more than that. So lifting with
relatively heavy weights to where you really can't do another
repetition or two is the fundamental resistance training principle that
I like to educate people on.
Speaker 4 (25:04):
That's good. I mean, I totally agree with that.
Speaker 13 (25:06):
You know, because women generally tend to be concerned that
lifting heavyweights will get bulky, and I think is always good.
At least I reassure them that, no, you have to
try really hard to look like Miss Olympia.
Speaker 4 (25:17):
So I'm glad you. I'm glad you reiterate that perfect.
Speaker 13 (25:23):
You're such a big advocate on creating supplementation, especially for women,
which I think is wonderful. Can you explain how creatin
benefits menopausal women specifically?
Speaker 6 (25:34):
Yeah, so there's one area we know. It's benefits on
muscle building. So that's documented across the lifespan young males
and females, but specifically to females. One of the unfortunate
attributes of going through menopause is a significant increased risk
for osteoporosis, and scientists will typically measure two areas. They'll
(25:55):
look at the low back, so the low spine and
the hip reach. And we have several studies in women
going through menopause that creating supplementation is able to help
preserve bone mineral density in the hip, specifically the femoral neck.
So just this big bone in your hip. They're still
(26:19):
losing bone mineral density, but they're losing significantly less when
they're supplementing with creating. So creating has muscle benefits and
specific to this phase of life, it also helps preserve
bone mineral density, which is exactly what we need.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
Okay, that makes so much sense, and it fits perfect
with my next question because I want to talk about
protein and menopausal women.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
Right.
Speaker 3 (26:45):
So, protein is often seen as a body builder's nutrient,
but the truth is it's one of the most critical
macronutrients for women over forty and even the studies suggest
that menopausal women, even perimenopausal women, actually need more protein
than younger adults to support muscle maintenance and recovery. Now,
in your research, what have you found to be the
optimal protein intake for menopausal but I actually want to
(27:08):
also address the perimenopausal women trying to maintain or even
just improve body composition.
Speaker 6 (27:13):
Yeah, so I refer to protein as the menopause nutrient.
Why do I do that? Well, three main reasons. One,
we already discussed for the first time, women are starting
to lose muscle. What does protein do? It builds muscle.
The second reason is because we know that most women
do not consume enough protein. Now that's generally drew across
(27:37):
the life stage, but particularly during menopause, women get about
half of what they need, So it helps build muscle.
We know they're not getting enough. We know they're not
getting enough protein in their diet. And the third reason
is it also helps reduce body fat. Now this is
(27:58):
only true if you're previously deficient or not eating enough
protein and you take it to optimal levels. So this
whole this gaining of body fat can actually be addressed
when you optimize protein.
Speaker 3 (28:12):
So piggybacking off that diet breaks and metabolic adaptation because
it kind of goes.
Speaker 14 (28:17):
Hand in glove with what you're saying, right, A lot
of women go into these extreme calorie restriction when they
start gaining weight, but only to hit like this plateau
and feel even more frustrated.
Speaker 4 (28:28):
So your research on diet breaks challenges the idea that
constant restriction is the best way to lose weight. Can
you explain how structured diet breaks can actually.
Speaker 3 (28:38):
Help menopausal women with long term fat loss without wrecking
their metabolism.
Speaker 6 (28:43):
Yeah, So, just to be clear, my research on diet
breaks was always in younger people, but I don't think
that changes the principles of applying that research to a
midlife woman. So one thing about dieting, it's a very
cat It is a catabi process. So everything about a
diet is breaking down, which is good for body fat,
(29:05):
but it also this catabolic environment is not good for
muscle mass. So when we take a diet break, what
we're doing is saying, hey, stop dieting for a period
of time. Typically it's seven to fourteen days. And what
we're doing is a couple things. We're bringing the body
out of a catabolic environment and now into a potentially
(29:25):
anabolic environment because we're going back to pre dieting maintenance calories.
We don't have to be concerned about gaining body fat.
When we take a diet break, but it really allows
the body to recover and then when we go back
to dieting, we have more motivation and we'll respond better.
(29:45):
So my research specifically is reported that diet breaks are
some people call them refeeds. They help with hunger, the
psychology of hunger, So people aren't they don't have as
high of a drive to eat when they incorporate these.
We been able to maintain muscle mass and metabolic rate
from being suppressed or getting lowered during these very long term,
(30:08):
consistent diets.
Speaker 4 (30:10):
Wow.
Speaker 3 (30:11):
So giving the body these breaks can actually help prevent
metabolic slowdowns.
Speaker 4 (30:15):
That's a total mindset shift. Thanks for sharing that, Yeah,
thank you.
Speaker 13 (30:19):
Aside from protein and creatine, are there any of us
supplements that menopausal women should consider for fat laws, muscle
maintenance of oral health? You know, supplementation is a big deal,
So do you have any others?
Speaker 6 (30:33):
I think fish oil would be one unless somebody's naturally
eating a lot of fish so that this helps optimize
Omega three levels. I also recommend multi vitamin multimineral supplement.
Other than those two things, I don't really And again
I spent my whole career studying dietary supplements relative to
(30:54):
building muscle and losing fat. I don't have a lengthy
list of things that are going to move the needle
as much as creating and protein. So those are the
those are the heavy hitters, so to speak.
Speaker 9 (31:09):
I like that you touch on that because I call
it the supplement culture.
Speaker 4 (31:13):
It's huge.
Speaker 13 (31:14):
So you have women taking ten fifteen tablets a day,
and yes, there's some discussion about it, which is important,
but I'm glad you really just focused to the core
ones because I think you can get caught up and
end up taking so many pills that you really don't
see the benefit.
Speaker 6 (31:31):
Yeah, and I'm just thinking of my wife. She's talking
of like all the she's been in exactly that, Like
as she exists is I can't stand taking all these
different pills. So we definitely, you know, because we see
different physicians and everybody has their own recommendations, but exactly
to what you said, it can be overwhelming every day
taking all of these pills. So I've heard it in
(31:52):
my own home.
Speaker 4 (31:54):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:54):
Now, hormones they play. I want to just touch on
hormones and body composition. We've been talking about it, but
just being mindful of the time for a couple of
minutes left. They hormones play a massive role in where
and how we store fat. Estrogen in particular has been
shown to influence fat distribution, muscle mass, and even appetite regulation. Now,
(32:14):
with estrogen levels dropping during perimenopause and menopause, how does
this shift impact body composition and is there anything women
can do to work with these changes instead of fighting
against them?
Speaker 6 (32:28):
So what I'm still doing a lot of reading about
what happens internally as to why this shift occurs. One
of the things that may happen I believe I read
a study in rodent models we actually have a change
in estrogen receptor density to the abdominal region, so that
that would make sense. But again I'm still early in
this research and in terms of what women can do,
(32:54):
there's regardless if you're gaining weight or not, what we
know is happening is your estrogen levels are declining. So
to this, I would say you should at least consider
estrogen therapy. Now I'm not saying you have to go
on it. That is that is a decision between the
patient and her evidence based physician. But what I found
(33:16):
is a lot of women just they just completely just
say no, and they don't really have a good reason
as to why they're saying no. And I struggled with
this too. My wife went through menopause and had a
very difficult time. And this was before I was devoting
my career my research to this area. I was very
ignorant and had to do a lot of education. And
(33:40):
one of the big the major things that I've learned,
I wish we would have started my wife on hormone
replacement therapy sooner. Now, again, that was our decision. I
did all the scientific reading, we consulted with physicians. But
I think what my general response is, if you're going
to choose not to go on HRT, just have reason
(34:00):
as to why. Don't be fearful of it without having
the appropriate conversations with your physician.
Speaker 4 (34:06):
Yeah, that makes so much sense. And I think a
lot of women are misinformed.
Speaker 3 (34:11):
They hear HRT causes cancer, they hear all kinds of
stuff that's.
Speaker 4 (34:15):
Just just misinformed.
Speaker 3 (34:19):
And I think it really begins with speaking to a
practitioner and to a physician that can really probably guide you.
Speaker 4 (34:25):
Experts like yourselves are not easily found.
Speaker 3 (34:29):
So I'm glad that we can blanket the voice here
further than just your local practices. Doctor Daisy, I know
you have some questions on the future of women's fitness.
Speaker 4 (34:40):
Yes, yes, Doctor Campbell. What are some emergent trends of
fitness and nutritional research that excites you and specifically around
this time? Do you care to share with us?
Speaker 6 (34:51):
Oh? I would love to so right now, my research
team and I we just were about to make this
go live. It's actually the first menopause fitness survey. So
when we sat down, I realized to you know, like
I want to start doing getting some information. Thousands of
studies on menopause. We even have quite a few studies
(35:14):
now in women's fitness, but if you try to find
a survey where you're merging women who've embraced a fitness
lifestyle that are going through menopause, you won't find one
published survey because it doesn't exist. So effectively, my lab
is doing the first menopause fitness survey. So you have
(35:35):
to be to be eligible for this. You have to
be lifting weights, I think we said for the previous
six months. And we try to make this very open
such that anywhere from thirty five to seventy five years old,
because we're going to get data on women as they
perceive what will happen when they do go through menopause.
Then we have this perimenopause group, like what's happening right
(35:57):
now when you're going through it? And then we're geting
reflections of women who are postmenopausal what things did you
experience when you were going through this? And we have
a nutrition section and a very comprehensive fitness section, resistance training, cardio,
and a hormone replacement therapy section, and then finally a
(36:20):
weight loss or body composition section. So that's what our
survey is going to cover.
Speaker 4 (36:26):
What sign me up?
Speaker 3 (36:28):
I was gonna say, doctor Daisy, you are the perfect
demographic for this.
Speaker 13 (36:34):
Yes, I have some clienteles here that will be slutly
part of this, doctor Campbell, So let me know how
it can be of help.
Speaker 6 (36:40):
That would if you could spread the word, that would
be great. It's like I said, I've been doing research
for twenty years and the shift to take my skill
set into this menopause transition population has given me so
much new energy and excitement.
Speaker 4 (36:59):
Wow, are officially out of time.
Speaker 3 (37:01):
This conversation could go on for another thirty minutes easily,
and we can still keep chatting, you know, as.
Speaker 4 (37:08):
If we just started. So I thank you so much
for coming on.
Speaker 3 (37:11):
It was really really transpire, it was it was it
refreshing to see a male's perspective with such passion.
Speaker 4 (37:19):
So I thank you for coming on.
Speaker 3 (37:21):
Not only have you done the research, not only are
you advocating for this particular community, but you're also you're
also making strides, You're and you're changing the narrative, which
I love.
Speaker 4 (37:33):
So thank you. Yeah, thank you.
Speaker 6 (37:35):
And really we should thank my wife because her experience
is what opened my eyes, so she unfortunately wasn't a
good experience.
Speaker 4 (37:42):
But thank you missus Campbell. Big shout out to missus Campbell.
But yeah, thank you, thank you, Yeah, thank you, doctor Campbell,
thank you both.

Sam's up next in the Going Deep segment, brought to
you by a CO two lift in our expert on
the Microphone series. Today, we're joined by Board certified plastic surgeon,
doctor Evana Percheck. She is the Associate Director of Cosmetic
Surgery and Assistant Professor of Surgery at Penn Medicine.
Speaker 4 (39:30):
Her love of science, art, and working with her.
Speaker 3 (39:33):
Hands naturally dovetailed into a career in plastic surgery, sculpting
people's faces and bodies, where she has excelled for over
a decade. She joins me today to discuss how she
is transforming people's lives, from esthetic facial procedures to reconstructing
survivors of female genital mutilation. Welcoming now to the show
is the amazing doctor Evana Percheck.
Speaker 4 (39:54):
Welcome superstar, Thank you very much.
Speaker 15 (39:56):
I'm very pleased to be here, so.
Speaker 3 (39:58):
Excited to have you. You have quite the impressive resume.
Speaker 4 (40:02):
But before we dive in, let's look back to the beginning.
Speaker 3 (40:06):
I know you rotated through various medical specialties but ultimately
landed on plastic surgery and have been quoted saying finding
plastic surgery was like coming home, and a facial surgery
was one of the first operations you ever witnessed, an
experience that really stuck with you. What initially drew you
to the plastic surgery field, and how do you see
(40:28):
aesthetic procedures ultimately transforming lives?
Speaker 15 (40:32):
Great question, You're right, it was like coming home. And
in fact, I come from a long line of scientists
and artists in my family and academicians, and what I
loved growing up was all of those things science, art, aesthetics, fashion,
and when I found medicine and the art of healing.
All of those really put together defines plastic surgery. So
(40:55):
you're looking at patients from a very holistic standpoint. You're
looking at the out side, You're treating the outside and
the inside. You're being artistic, meticulous, creative, and scientific.
Speaker 3 (41:07):
Yeah, I mean a lot of people view aesthetic surgery
is fairly superficial. So I love that you highlight how
it doesn't just change how you look, but also changes
how you feel.
Speaker 4 (41:16):
And I know you've even talked.
Speaker 3 (41:17):
About how aesthetic surgery has the ability to lower inflammation
in the body, because if you feel good about how
you look, it decreases your cortisol levels, which ultimately alters
the rest of your anatomy and decreases the inflammatory process,
which is just fascinating because it's just a domino effect
right now now for patients seeking plastic surgery procedures. Only
(41:39):
half the battle is the procedure, but the other half
is recovering. And while recovery isn't necessarily easy, there are
things providers can do to make it easier if you will.
Speaker 4 (41:48):
And one of my favorites is CO two Lift, which is.
Speaker 3 (41:51):
Non invasive, clinically proven, and medical grade carboxy gel that
I mean not only offers the monotherapy benefits, but can
significantly improve a patient's results and comfort post procedure. I'd
love to know, doctor, how do you help your patients
in the recovery process with products like CO two lift
And have you noticed measurable differences in recovery times or
(42:15):
outcomes when patients implement these treatments post procedure.
Speaker 4 (42:19):
Absolutely.
Speaker 15 (42:20):
I think what we've learned is preparation of the patient
before the surgery and after the surgery is critical and
CO two Lift, to me, has been an amazingly powerful
approach to do that. It's easily tolerated. You put a
mask on a couple of days before the procedure in
the area that you're going to treat, and then you
(42:40):
do the same immediately after the procedure for a week
or more afterwards, and it transforms people's tissues in a
very simple way. It's it's subtle, but very very powerful,
and it's tolerated by everybody. And I think what we've
come to learn is that you really have to think
and be purposeful in preparing your mind and your body
(43:03):
for the surgery, and that way you will have the
maximum outcome.
Speaker 4 (43:07):
I love that you said prepare your mind and your body.
Speaker 3 (43:10):
It's so important because it's just so connected and it's
like it's true mind over matter essentially.
Speaker 4 (43:16):
It's a perfect example.
Speaker 3 (43:18):
Now, you're also very well known for your work with
survivors of female genital mutilation also known as FGM, which
defined by the World Health Organization, comprises all procedures that
involve partial or total removal of the external female genitalia
or other injury to the female general organs for non
(43:39):
medical reasons, and more than two hundred and thirty million
girls and women today have undergone female genital mutilation in
thirty countries in Africa, the Middle East, and Asia where
FGM is practice. Now, I know your first general mutilation
patient came to you through a referral from a gynocologist,
and no other surgeon would agree to take on the case.
Speaker 4 (44:01):
However, you, my.
Speaker 3 (44:02):
DearS, stepped up and actually created a new reconstructive procedure
that has now helped numerous women increase sexual function and
ultimately heal the emotional and psychological wounds associated with mutilation.
Can you please tell us more about this FGM reconstructive
surgery and why female health and wellness is so important
(44:23):
to you as a whole.
Speaker 15 (44:24):
Everything drove me, the misunderstanding under treatment of women, the
fact that women were ashamed and shouldn't be for having
gone this procedure, just like they might be ashamed of
having a facelift, but this even more so because they
didn't select to have this. They were traumatized, They were victims.
Speaker 4 (44:41):
And so the.
Speaker 15 (44:42):
Women who come to see me are trying to empower
themselves to take that power back, and so it was
a challenge. I saw it as my duty as kind
of the universe coming to me with the opportunity to
create a meaningful change, something for good, for a population
of women who who had suffered their entire lives with
(45:03):
not just functional deficits like pain, but also with psychological
deficits like trauma, depression, anxiety, all the other things that
come along with that.
Speaker 3 (45:13):
Wow, I mean, the work you're doing is so invaluable
and I'm so glad you took this on. You know,
patients really are suffering all over the world, and you're very,
very proactive. It really sets you on a path that
not only added another avenue to your career, but it
also gives you such a meaningful purpose.
Speaker 4 (45:31):
It's so beautiful. Good job, good job. I'm literally I
love what you're doing. Now.
Speaker 3 (45:36):
What are some of the most common vaginal surgeries you
perform and what concerns do women typically have when seeking
these procedures. I know it's not an easy leap for
you know, for any decision, it's not easy for anyone
to make.
Speaker 15 (45:50):
No absolutely, and it's a hard topic to talk about,
which I think is why people come to me because
I'm very open and I am very comfortable speaking about it.
So I see lot of women both young and old,
who come in for labia plasty, which is mostly just
a rejuvenation or a trimming of the inner lips of
the vaginal region, or a clitteroplasty, which is a lifting
(46:12):
or an exposure of the clitorist to make it function
better and look better. We're all very sensitive to the face,
the breasts, for example, and other parts of the body,
but the vaginal region or the vulvar region is the
last frontier, and I think we finally started to conquer it,
both through the FGM work and that coming to light
and women being able to take their power back and
(46:33):
speak about it, but also just for things that are
maybe not functional, and a labia plastic can be functional
in the sense that it could impair a woman from
doing the exercises that she likes, from enjoying intimate moments
in the way that she likes, and so it affects
all of those components and we can improve on all
of them.
Speaker 4 (46:53):
Yeah, yeah, great points.
Speaker 3 (46:56):
And I know CO two lift also has that vaginal
rejuvenation JELB products two lift V in your experience, What
role do non invasive treatments like the CO two lift
V play in recovery and overall vaginal health.
Speaker 15 (47:09):
They play a huge role in their recovery, especially as
we're going through a phase where we're starting to talk
about and be open about the menopausal changes and perimenopausal
and pre menopausal changes that women are undergoing. So the
CO two V has been instrumental in helping women who
are even non surgical actually have a more robust sexual experience,
(47:34):
less dryness, more comfort in those regions, but especially if
they're undergoing surgery, the v lift is really helpful with
cutting down inflammation, bringing blood flow to the region, and
allowing those women to heal a lot faster in an
area that's normally very sensitive and can be traumatized with
(47:54):
more invasive techniques.
Speaker 4 (47:56):
So many great use cases this product has.
Speaker 3 (47:58):
I love it, and it's so simple, and it's backed
by science and clinically researched and verified.
Speaker 4 (48:03):
It's even been compared to.
Speaker 3 (48:04):
A hyperbaric oxygen chamber by some of the top plastic surgeons,
so I love this feedback. Now, in addition to your
work and surgery, you also run the per Check Anti
Aging Lab, which you founded in twenty ten to study
how stem cells from fat tissue impact the aging process
at various stages, as well as how those cells impact
(48:25):
scar tissue formation and face and body rejuvenation. I think
this is so important as younger generations are focusing more
and more on preventative skincare, with many adopting proactive routines
and seeking out specialized care early. You know, early on
before these problems arise, and with your research you can
work on delaying the aging process by intervening at this
(48:48):
cellular level. How do you see the role of stem
cells and regenitive medicine and natural anti aging products like
CEO two lift shaping the future of plastic surgery and
stef treatments.
Speaker 15 (49:01):
We're already seeing a lot of those functions coming to
force in the patient treatment arena. For example, you might
not be able to use stem cells directly. We use
them indirectly a little bit in fat grafting. We know
that when you transfer fat, it contains a high proportion
of adipose stem cells, and so what happens is, over
the course of time, those stem cells help to rejuvenate
(49:23):
the regions that you place them in, and I use
that for all of my lavia plasty and my FGM reconstructions,
my facelifts, for example. But something like exisomes, those are
all coming to become very popular. And exosomes derived from
stem cells contain very powerful nutrients that can be delivered
either by injection or topically, And so the stem cells
(49:45):
are really our reservoir of a new, youthful molecules that
have not undergone the aging process that non stem cells have.
Speaker 4 (49:57):
Wow, you're full of knowledge. I love this.
Speaker 3 (50:00):
This is also fascinating to me, and I love that
this generation is about preventative medicine and really studying the science. Recently,
we had a researcher here, doctor Serenia Wilds from Mayo
Clinic in Minnesota, and she's saying exactly what you're saying,
that exosomes regenitive medicine being at the forefront of these
new you know, researched, verified, and still I mean ongoing
(50:24):
research of course needs to be done even deeper.
Speaker 4 (50:27):
But you're right, this is the new era and it's no.
Speaker 3 (50:31):
Longer about overfilled lips or that overdone pillow face. Look,
people are just opting for more natural even with their
breast augmentations that they just want a more natural look
or just a natural lift, right, So yeah, it's the
industry is definitely changing and.
Speaker 15 (50:47):
I think the biggest challenge we face and I faced
the challenge myself when I was running my lab and
trying to get grants from the NAH. For example, no
institution wants to fund something that they consider elect are superficial,
and yet all of the patients, all of the people
in this country and all over the world are using
these treatments. So it's our duty as physicians, as scientists
(51:11):
to look at the effects of these treatments to whether
they're effective, are they safe, how can we use them
in the best way possible. And that's what we're doing
with carboxylift, with EXI zones, with stem cells. You have
to do that kind of research, but it's really now
the companies and private sources that are funding the research
and we have to move forward because the public wants
(51:32):
that information.
Speaker 3 (51:34):
Yeah, well, I'm so glad you said that, and I'm
so glad we had you on. I love our experts
on the microphone and you fit the check You fit
the every every single check mark perfectly.

Speaker 17 (53:10):
Johnny Mee Twain is John Degastino, board member of EMA
and also head of strategy at Coinbase and Ditutional. So, John,
thank you so much for joining me. We have a
lot going on, but I do want to focus on
de banking when it comes to crypto and digital assets.
So do you think the distancing over concerns about bank safety,
money laundering as well as financial risk is in u
(53:34):
just a reflection of a disdain for crypto overall.
Speaker 18 (53:38):
So yeah, I mean, look, this is actually kind of fascinating.
What we've seen since even the last time I was
on the show is an extraordinary turn. So this concept
of the banking went from something that was relatively unknown
to wider audiences but well known within the industry, and
then Mark Dreesen goes on Joe Rogan, it becomes kind
of popular knowledge. Then there's a short period of hey,
(53:59):
maybe this isn't real, There's some pushback, and then we
go from that within the space of ten to twelve
days to the comments you're already you mentioned from a
FDIC chair at Travis Hill. I'll point out Jerome Powell
also on January thirty, first acknowledge that there's no role
for D banking, and then we had Cynthia Lemmis, who
is the chair of a new panel on digital assets,
(54:21):
go so far as to say that anyone at the
FDIC who gets rid of evidence around D banking will
face prosecution. So that's a really dramatic shift in tone
and messaging and narrative in the space of two weeks.
Speaker 4 (54:34):
So I think, yeah, I think that.
Speaker 18 (54:35):
The argument that this is a hostination or something that
didn't exist never existed, that's pretty much been completely debunked.
And now it comes to exactly what happened, how severe
was it, and to what degree should there be accountability
and consequences for those individuals who committed it.
Speaker 17 (54:51):
And I'm glad you brought that up because there are
a lot of expectations as we head into twenty twenty
five regarding the regular Tory landscape. But on this Monday morning,
I do want to take a look at where we
are in terms of crypto prices as well as the
strategic Bitcoin reserve. So for crypto majors, Bitcoin Undeath, we
(55:12):
are looking at a pullback this morning. But in terms
of a reserve, several US states, including Alabama, Arizona, Florida
launching initiatives for bitcoin strategic reserves, and Arizona and Utah are.
Speaker 4 (55:25):
Also advancing in the process.
Speaker 17 (55:26):
Now, President Trump did order the creation of a Digital
Asset Working Group, and they're cast was exploring a US
crypto stockpile. What the order doesn't provide further details. So
what do you expect to see when it comes to
a reserve in the coming months here in the US.
Speaker 18 (55:42):
I expect to see a growing clarification of what that
means effectively. So I think there's some people in the
bitcoin and cryptocurrency world that we will be disappointed at
the less than specific language regarding a bitcoin strategic reserve
and also how that bitcoin would actually be accumulated and
where it would just be existing stockpiles, not sold or
(56:04):
ussets accumulated.
Speaker 9 (56:05):
So I think perhaps that were little bit too much
I hope for in the first week.
Speaker 18 (56:09):
But what we have is serious momentum, not just the
state level, but also at the federal level. There is
again THEO Limis is leading this charge and leading the
efforts to examine how a bitcoin's future preserved, which again
many people believe will fundamentally strengthen monetary policy improve the
overall balance sheet of the US government will be a
(56:29):
decidedly good thing for the country as well as for
bitcoin holders, and that sort of will be clarified over
the coming weeks. I think what's important to note is
that as that clarification ensues, the rest of the world
is going to be watching extremely closely. No one wants
to be front run on a US mass purchase of
a finite spares asset like recoined, so I think you'll
(56:52):
see a little bit of brinksmanship as countries recognize if
the US does commit to this as policy, they have
to be at least on time with the US, if
not itally before in terms of making those acquisitions. So
everyone will be watching it very closely about the state, federal,
and international level.
