In this visionary episode of Beauty Bytes, I am saying goodbye to the "filler fatigue" of 2025 and unveiling my Top 10 Aesthetic Predictions for 2026. This isn't just about trends; I'm mapping out a paradigm shift toward hyper-personalization and regenerative medicine that will change how we treat aging forever. I explain why the era of overfilling is dead and how I am pivoting to "undetectable" results using micro-tox, strategic lifting, and collagen biostimulators. I also explore the cutting-edge future of AI diagnostics, where digital avatars will allow me to simulate your aging trajectory and show you treatment outcomes years in advance . We dive deep into the science of skin senescence, targeting "zombie cells" to restore resilience rather than just treating wrinkles . From turning on your body's mTOR cycles for cellular repair to the rise of collagen banking for Gen Z, I'm sharing exactly where the world of aesthetics is heading next year.

Hi listeners. It's that time of year when we all take a few of those precious moments between the holidays and starting the New Year to look back, plan ahead, and savor those moments before heading back to work. This is the final DiepCJourney® podcast of 2025 and I decided to go solo for the first time since beginning this podcast during the pandemic in January of 2021. Let's take a look back at what we have provided courtesy of my outstanding guests. I always say, a podcast is only as good as its guests, and I am so lucky to have met them via my podcast and many I have met in person. When I had my first podcast with Dr. C in January of 2021, we had been working together in this patient education advocacy space for six years. That number has now rolled over to 11 years working together and he has been a cherished guest on so many topics on the podcast. Since that first podcast in January of 2021, I have interviewed surgeons, both microsurgeons and breasts surgeons from across the world. Thank you to each of you for providing such valuable information to the listeners of the podcast. I set this podcast up originally as a stand-alone platform but now because of changes in social media platforms I am able to share most of the podcast over on the DiepCFoundation YouTube channel. You can find them on the channel listed as Podcasts if you'd like to watch them and actually see my guests. It's a fun alternative and really what some followers like over listening to the podcast. With a niche podcast like this, my priority is creating content that truly serves the community—not chasing numbers. In a space as specific as breast reconstruction, I measure success by connection and education rather than statistics. The beauty of a niche podcast is that it reaches exactly who needs it most, so I focus on value over metrics. Last year in January we kicked off the year with my friend Rory Zura of Foobs and Fitness. Understanding and knowing the research behind the benefits of exercise for breast cancer patients is so important and a topic that is asked about often. Thanks Rory! She is a survivor with her own unique story. Patients stories matter to many, not only other patients, but healthcare professionals who can improve their communication and protocols for patients based on patient stories. One of the most listened to podcast of 2025 was from Margaret Tueller Proffit, a young BRCA genetic mutation carrier who started her reconstruction with implants, transitioned to DIEP flap and then graced us with the conclusion of her reconstruction by sharing one of the best quotes I heard from a patient all year, "Go forth with confidence"! Sensation of the breast always gets a lot of listeners. Our interview with Dr. Lisa Hunsicker was popular. We tackled diastasis recti and why to repair it during DIEP with Dr. Kesley McClure of Southwest Breast and Aesthetics and found out what other procedures are performed in Phoenix at their facility with her colleague, Dr. Arvind Gowda. Dr. Craigie shared a very interesting interview with us on the delay procedure, the SIEA, and the TDAP. These alternative methods of using a patients own tissue are very important for patients who don't always find this information easily. Nipple reconstruction with Dr. Carpenter at PRMA came out of an in-person meeting we had at a microsurgery summit I attended. Thanks Dr. Carpenter for your warm smile and willingness to spend time with me to educate our audience. I invite each of you listening to use the search engine to explore all the topics we have talked about with my guest on the link I'll provide at the end of the episode details. Libsyn has been a great podcast platform for us to use so a shout out to them! As part of the resources we provide at DiepCFoundation, this podcast being one of them, we also have the DiepCFoundation YouTube channel I mentioned earlier and the DiepCJourney® blog. I want to leave you with a message from an end of the year blog I wrote just a couple of days ago. Here is the link to read the entire blog. https://diepcjourney.com/kindness-gratitude-courage-my-compass-for-2026/ Here is what I wrote: As I step into 2026, I find myself returning again and again to three simple words. Those words are kindness, gratitude, and courage. They aren't new concepts. They aren't complicated. But they have become the compass points guiding how I want to show up in the world, how I want to lead, and how I want to serve the breast cancer community that has shaped my life in ways I never could have imagined. These three words have carried me through seasons of uncertainty, moments of profound connection, and the quiet, steady work of advocacy. They have grounded me when the world felt heavy and lifted me when I needed reminding that hope is not naïve. Hope is necessary. And as I look toward the year ahead, they feel more necessary than ever. Here's to a year guided by purpose, connection, and the quiet strength that lives within us all. I cannot wait for you to listen to our guests in 2026, our sixth season. Thank you for listening and being a part of the Journey!

Addressing the relationship between law and the visual, this book examines the importance of photography in Central, East, and Southeast European show trials. The dispensation of justice during communist rule in Albania, East Germany, and Poland was reliant on legal propaganda, making the visual a fundamental part of the legitimacy of the law. Analysing photographs of trials, Agata Fijalkowski's Law, Visual Culture, and the Show Trial (Routledge, 2023) examines how this message was conveyed to audiences watching and participating in the spectacle of show trials. The book traces how this use of the visual was exported from the Soviet Union and imposed upon its satellite states in the immediate aftermath of the Second World War. It shows how the legal actors and political authorities embraced new photographic technologies to advance their legal propaganda and legal photography. Drawing on contemporary theoretical work in the area, the book then challenges straightforward accounts of the relationship between law and the visual, critically engaging entrenched legal historical narratives, in relation to three different protagonists, to offer the possibility of reclaiming and rewriting past accounts. As its analysis demonstrates, the power of images can also be subversive; and, as such, the cases it addresses contribute to the discourse on visual epistemology and open onto contemporary questions about law and its inherent performativity.

Have you been building your brand based solely on your sun sign or what you think looks good, without considering how the visual experience of your brand either attracts or repels your exact people? In this second episode of the three-part series, I'm breaking down how to use astrology to create brand aesthetics that reflect the wholeness of who you are. I share why my Scorpio rising means dark tones and moody imagery over Boss Babe pink, how my Virgo midheaven demands precision and white space with zero excess, why my Taurus seventh house means my people need to feel grounded and steady (not overwhelmed with 47 tips), and how to blend your rising, midheaven, and partnership houses to create a visual experience that's magnetically aligned.BY THE TIME YOU FINISH LISTENING TO THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL DISCOVER:Why your rising sign is the most consistent foundation for brand identity (it's always in the first house, unlike your sun which could be hidden in the 12th or dimmed in fall), whether that's Scorpio's mysterious depth with darker tones and moody imagery, Leo's bold creative leadership with bright sunny energy, Virgo's precision and clean girl aesthetic with lots of white space, or Libra's trendsetting editorial chicness like Vogue or Chanel, and why building a brand counter to this creates friction no matter how good your strategy is.How to layer your midheaven (9th, 10th, or 11th house showing your career and how you're known) with your rising sign to create the full picture, like Kathryn's Scorpio rising with Virgo midheaven creating depth and mystery combined with precision and less-is-more (cutting the fat, quality over quantity), versus someone with Libra rising and Leo midheaven blending chic editorial softness with bold creative leadership energy, and why looking at the ruler of each sign and where it lives in your chart adds crucial nuance to the aesthetic.The seventh house revelation that most branding approaches completely ignore, your partnerships and relationships house that shows exactly who you're designed to attract and what they need to feel in your brand experience, like Kathryn's Taurus seventh house meaning her people need grounded, steady, earthy energy (not overwhelming them with endless tips and strategies that trigger their exhaustion and distraction), and why your brand must reflect both who you are AND the energetic frequency of your ideal people or you'll keep attracting misaligned clients who don't value what you actually offer.Why this isn't about following rigid formulas from ChatGPT or having someone tell you "your colors are pink and you need flowers" but about playing with the energy of your rising sign, midheaven ruler, seventh house, and even your Human Design culture sphere (Gate 40's exhaustion and distraction for Kathryn) to feel your way into the aesthetic that makes you go "yes, THAT'S me" rather than building someone else's vision of what your chart should look like on paper.And while you're here, follow us on Instagram @creativelyowned for more daily inspiration on effortlessly attracting the most aligned clients without spending hours marketing your business or chasing clients.

LW1486 - Alternative Aesthetics Photography has a natural aesthetic we might call photographic realism. The typical photograph is intended to mimic human vision and that aesthetic is the default for most photographs. There does exist the possibility, however, to borrow aesthetics from other media and forms of artistic expression. Recently I've been playing with a dark and moody aesthetic inspired by the look of film noir.

We've been conditioned to believe health has a look, and that if we don't match it, we must be doing something wrong. That assumption leaves a lot of people feeling like failures, even when they're showing up consistently and doing their best. Christin, Jess Gordon and Sam (RD) unpack why appearance is a poor proxy for health and how genetics, environment, mental health, access to care, and life circumstances all play a role in what health actually looks like for different people. The conversation breaks down the limitations of body composition as a metric, why social media distorts our perception of "healthy," and how focusing on behaviors > aesthetics creates a more realistic, compassionate, and sustainable framework for health. If you've ever judged your progress by the mirror, the scale, or someone else's body, this conversation offers a needed reframe.

Thiersch, JD, sits down with Terrence Keaney, MD, board-certified dermatologist, co-founder of SkinDC, and clinical associate professor at George Washington University, to explore what drives men into aesthetic practices and how providers can meet their unique needs.

Too many men today aren't struggling because they lack information. They're struggling because they're drowning in noise. And, I think it's time we start unpacking why the "modern masculinity" space has become obsessed with hot takes, call-outs, online outrage, and performative "accountability" - and why none of it builds strong men, meaningful connection, or lasting improvement. Today I'm joined by my friend, Jack Donovan, to talk about why gossip masquerades as moral authority, how "calling men out" often replaces real accountability, the difference between integrity, honor, and reputation, why social media rewards division, not leadership, the dangers of pedestalizing others—and why men need a code to live by.

Visit today's blog post here. About four times a year, I get that sinking feeling that my IG just isn't very aesthetic, and I worry about what other people (not potential clients) think about me. That I look weird on video, that I ramble, that my captions aren't perfect. But I always come back to this: it's okay that my marketing is imperfect. Who I am in real life is better than my marketing, and I am more complex and full of life and kind than photos and texts can show. I am way better at coaching/caring for people and getting them results, than I am at marketing. And honestly, as a heart-centered entrepreneur, that's exactly how it should be.  In this episode, I share about why your marketing doesn't have to be aesthetic to be effective - especially as heart centered entrepreneurs. The more we can release attachment to our marketing and how "perfect" it is and what others think of it, the more we can put out. And even if it just reflects 60% of your amazingness, that is plenty to sign aligned clients. –– Connect with Anna on Instagram: @heartcentered.entrepreneur

In the competitive world of medical aesthetics, many practices struggle because they view "sales" as a dirty word. But here's the truth: sales is simply an extension of patient care. Terri Ross, a top industry expert, argues that the most successful cash-based practices shift their focus from pushing procedures to consulting on solutions. Your Actionable Takeaway: Abandon the "icky" sales stigma. Embrace emotional selling by asking deep, open-ended questions to uncover the true motivations behind a patient's desire for treatment. Patients buy on feeling, not just facts. When you genuinely serve, you automatically sell.

In this episode of The Aesthetic Doctor Podcast, Dr. Jude Borger breaks down the often-overlooked truth that glowing, youthful skin starts from the inside out. While injectables, lasers, and skincare all have their place, your daily habits—sleep, nutrition, stress management, hydration, and overall medical wellness—play an equally powerful role in how your skin looks and feels. Dr. Borger explains how these foundational lifestyle factors influence collagen, inflammation, pigmentation, and radiance, offering practical, accessible steps you can implement right away.   You'll learn why good sleep is the ultimate anti-aging tool, how nutrition becomes the raw material for your skin, and how stress, hormones, and hydration drive some of the most common complexion changes. Dr. Borger also highlights the importance of staying on top of your health maintenance, since underlying medical issues often show up on the skin first. This episode is your guide to supporting your aesthetic goals with daily habits that elevate, prolong, and enhance every treatment—helping you look and feel your best from the inside out.   Dr. Judith Borger Links: www.theaestheticdoctor.com www.instagram.com/doctorborger

The White House says it's submitting plans this month for its 90,000 square-foot gold-studded ballroom which will be bigger than the White House while Democrats call for inquiries into the funding of the project. Meanwhile, the Oval Office gleams with gold adornments, and an executive order decrees classical architecture for all federal buildings. Design historians say Trump is reshaping America's visual identity in his own image, breaking with centuries of presidential restraint.

When rapid weight‑loss drugs hit mainstream trends, we knew we couldn't stay silent. So we invited our friends and medical pros from SPMJ Aesthetics – Dr. Mary Jordan (board‑certified surgeon & obesity medicine advocate) and Shaun Paulson NP (nurse practitioner, metabolic wellness specialist) – into the studio for a no‑BS, live panel discussion. Together we break down what's real (and what's not) about GLP‑1 medications, body composition, muscle preservation, nutrition and long‑term health. This isn't a "quick fix" talk. It's about doing transformation with integrity, science, and strength.   Dr. Mary Jordan is a board‑certified surgeon and co‑founder of SPMJ Aesthetics, with decades of experience, now focusing on medically supervised weight‑management and metabolic wellness through SPMJ Aesthetics.   Shaun Paulson NP is a nurse‑practitioner and skin rejuvenation expert, specializing in healthy aging from the outside in.   Connect with SPMJ Aesthetics: Website IG   Here's what this GLP‑1 conversation will help you understand: GLP‑1 meds aren't magic unless you build the foundation. Fat loss without muscle‑sparing practices can lead to strength loss – but with protein, resistance training, and smart nutrition, you can lose fat and preserve or build lean mass. Sustainable progress > "fast and gone." Aiming for roughly 1 pound per week and backing that with strength work and adequate fuel helps preserve metabolism, energy, and long‑term health. Health is deeper than the scale. When fat loss is done right (with nutrition, exercise, and medical supervision) you lower inflammation, support metabolic balance, protect connective tissue/skin, and avoid the "gaunt" side‑effects we see online.
