Are those viral diet plans and at-home skin "hacks" really as effective as they claim? Spoiler alert: most of them aren't just ineffective – they could actually be harmful to your health!

Host Carrie Esposito is joined by Marguerite Weston, MD (a double board-certified functional medicine physician), medical aesthetician Nikki Rucinsky and an extremely busy mother Liz Donaldson to tackle some of the most misleading diet and beauty trends that have hijacked our feeds.

From fad diets that promise quick fixes to skincare gadgets that are more hype than help, this episode uncovers the truth behind the trends. Dr. Weston breaks down why fad diets often fail, the potential risks they pose, and what to focus on instead of feeling your best. While Nikki uses her expertise to weigh in on the skincare trends that flood social media, exposing the gimmicks and offering expert advice on what truly works for aging gracefully.
