Have you ever met someone named Lucy and thought, "She really looks like a Lucy"? As strange as it sounds, scientists have discovered there may be more truth to that feeling than you realize. Your name may actually influence the way you look—or at least the way other people see you. Listen as I explain this fascinating research and what it reveals about the surprising connection between names and faces.https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2405334121 We all give away far more than we think. Tiny facial expressions, subtle gestures, the way we sit, stand, or even touch our face can reveal confidence, nervousness, deception, attraction, and much more. Once you know what to look for, it's almost impossible not to notice these hidden signals. Joining me is Peter Collett, a social psychologist who taught at Oxford University and is internationally recognized for his expertise in human behavior and nonverbal communication. He is author of How To Tell What People Are Thinking From the Bedroom to the Boardroom (https://amzn.to/3WVytDM). This conversation is packed with practical insights that can help you read people more accurately in everyday life. What is the brightest thing in the universe? The stickiest substance? The loudest sound? The coldest place? The fastest, slowest, biggest and smallest things imaginable? Nature has some astonishing record holders—and many of them are far stranger than fiction. David Darling, science writer, astronomer, and author of nearly 50 books, including Ka-boom!: The Science of Extremes (https://amzn.to/3X5gTgJ), takes us on a tour of the most incredible extremes in science, nature, and the universe. You'll come away with a collection of facts you'll be repeating to people for weeks. Why does food often seem to taste better after a simple ritual—like singing "Happy Birthday" before eating cake? It turns out the ritual itself may be changing your experience in ways you never realized. Listen as I explain the surprising psychology behind this effect and why small rituals can make everything from meals to everyday experiences more enjoyable.https://www.psychologicalscience.org/news/releases/to-savor-the-flavor-perform-a-short-ritual-first.html PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS WAYFAIR: Ready to upgrade your home for way less?

Travis Chappell delivers a solo masterclass on building a powerful personal brand and network using his proprietary ACT method (Attention, Credibility, Trust), drawn from over 1,600 podcast episodes, hundreds of books, and years of real-world experience in content creation and online marketing. On this episode we talk about: The ACT framework: A = Attention, C = Credibility, T = Trust—and why trust equals transactions. How Travis engineered his own Forbes feature by interviewing the author and networking strategically. Why "best known beats best" and attention is the foundation where money flows every time. Building credibility through high-profile associations (like big-name podcast guests) over one-off media mentions. Maintaining trust by overdelivering on every sale, even small ones, to boost lifetime customer value. Top 3 Takeaways 1. Get attention first—post content relentlessly because every post is a lottery ticket that could explode your reach. 2. Credibility comes from associating with known experts; it's harder than media hits but moves the needle more. 3. Trust must be continually earned through overdelivery, since one bad experience can kill repeat business forever. Notable Quotes "If you're an online marketer and you're not coming up with methods and cool acronyms, then you're not really a marketer." "Best known beats best. You're the best kept secret in your field... but nobody knows that you exist." "Where there's attention, that's where money goes. Attention is where the money flows. 100% of the time." "Every post is a lottery ticket. You never know what's going to be the thing that actually takes off." "The question you should be asking yourself is not does this convert? But does this continue to earn me trust?"

Next week David Muhs is going to open his cocktail bar Monkey Thief for the third time. He sits down with Greg and Sother to talk about the different incarnations of his concept, what he's learned by opening the same bar three times in Hell's Kitchen, and how the bar has been refined in the process. They also discuss the other concepts on that same street corner, including Rita's a taco and margarita joint, Same Same Wine Bar and Sama Za, a pizza place that manages to pull of 90s nostalgia in a non-cringe way.PLUS Greg and Sother are safely returned from Tales! They talk about what they saw, what they learned, why their voices sound like late-stage Johnny Cash, and what sparked them at this year's festival.Follow David at @muhsmanFollow Monkey Thief at @monkeythiefbarFollow Sama ‘Za at @samaza_nycFollow Same Same at @samesamewinebarLINKSBecome a Regular: patreon.com/SpeakeasyRegularsFor resources on dealing with cold hard water agents in your community visit nouswithoutyou.la/ and @thenycallianceThe Speakeasy is now on YouTube!

Stores and restaurants don't just play music to fill the silence. The tempo, volume, and even the style of music are often carefully chosen because they can quietly influence your behavior and even how much money you spend. Once you know what's happening, you'll start hearing those playlists very differently. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/002224298204600313 Your brain performs an astonishing magic trick every second of every day. It decides what deserves your attention—and what doesn't. Most of the time that's incredibly helpful. But it also means important clues, costly mistakes, opportunities, and even obvious dangers can sit right in front of you without you ever noticing them. Why does that happen, and can you train yourself to see what you've been missing? Here to explain is Keelan Leyser, a digital illusionist and one of the world's leading experts on attention and perception. Along with the late neuropsychologist David Lewis, he is co-author of the book Unseen: Blind Spots and Why We Miss What Matters Most (https://amzn.to/4ylvxkh). Most of us walk on sidewalks without giving them a second thought. But once you start asking simple questions—Who actually owns the sidewalk? Who is responsible to maintain it? Why do some sidewalks suddenly end? And why do some streets have no sidewalks at all? —you discover that sidewalks are surprisingly complicated and have become the center of debates over property rights, public space, safety, and even free speech. Michael Pollack takes us into a world that's been hiding in plain sight. He is Professor of Law and Associate Dean for Faculty Development at the Benjamin N. Cardozo School of Law and author of the book Sidewalk Nation: The Life and Law of America's Most Overlooked Resource (https://amzn.to/4fBOhEJ). When you suddenly need to buy something—a new refrigerator, a laptop, a plane ticket, almost anything—it's easy to assume you have no choice but to pay whatever it costs. In reality, there's one surprisingly simple habit that can keep "must buy it now" moments from quietly costing you hundreds of dollars over time. https://www.consumerreports.org/money/shopping/how-to-save-money-shopping-online/ PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS WAYFAIR: Ready to upgrade your home for way less?

Most of us spend a lot of time trying to be happy and avoiding sadness whenever we can. But what if sadness isn't something to fear or eliminate? What if it's one of the most important emotions we have? Why do we cry when we're grieving—but also when we're overwhelmed with joy? Why does listening to sad music often make us feel better instead of worse? And when does a good cry actually help us recover, while other times it only leaves us feeling stuck? According to David Huron, sadness isn't simply an unpleasant emotion we have to endure. It serves important psychological and biological purposes that help us cope with loss, strengthen relationships, and even prepare us for the future. Understanding how sadness works can change the way you experience difficult moments and help you recognize the difference between healthy sadness and harmful rumination. David Huron is Professor Emeritus at Ohio State University and author of The Science of Sadness: A New Understanding of Emotion. Remarkably, he has made the entire book available as a free PDF here:https://direct.mit.edu/books/oa-monograph/5772/The-Science-of-SadnessA-New-Understanding-of If you prefer a printed copy, it's also available on Amazon:https://amzn.to/3yy8cSy After listening to this conversation, you'll probably never think about sadness—or tears—the same way again.

Dr. Swistun says the moment a woman decides her implants have to come out is his best chance to help — there's no right or wrong answer, only her goals. And he's blunt about one thing: put a new breast implant back in and you're automatically signing up for another surgery down the road, because no breast implants last forever.Monique Ramsey gathers the show's best explant surgery conversations into one guide — the decision, the operation, and the after.Dr. Swistun explains what a total intact capsulectomy actually is, why getting back to 'factory settings' takes far longer than putting an implant in, and how auto-augmentation reshapes the tissue you already have so you can stay full without an implant.Then real women — Jennifer, Caroline, and Amie — describe what removal was actually like, and one husband, Michael, shares what it was like to watch his wife go through it, skeptical at first and won over after.One woman put it in a way that sticks: she felt like a prisoner in her own body, and now she feels liberated. No hype, no pressure — just what removal really involves.LinksMeet San Diego plastic surgeon Dr. Luke Swistun: Dr. Luke SwistunLearn more about breast implant removal: breast implant removalQuestions answered by this episodeWhat is a total intact capsulectomy?What is the breast capsule and why does it need to be removed?Why does explant sometimes cost more than the original breast augmentation?Can you stay full after breast implant removal without new implants?What is auto-augmentation during explant?Should you replace your breast implants or remove them for good?What does breast implant illness feel like?What will your breasts look like after implants are removed?Is a breast lift done at the same time as implant removal?How do women feel emotionally after explant?About this podcastLearn from the talented plastic surgeons inside La Jolla Cosmetic Surgery Centre, the 12x winner of the San Diego's Best Union-Tribune Readers Poll, global winner of the 2020 MyFaceMyBody Best Cosmetic/Plastic Surgery Practice, and the 2025 winner of Best Cosmetic Surgery Group in San Diego Magazine's Best of San Diego Awards.Join hostess Monique Ramsey as she takes you inside LJCSC, where dreams become real.

Most of us think we're pretty good drivers. But even experienced drivers develop bad habits without realizing it. Fortunately, a few simple adjustments can make you a safer, more alert driver—and could even help you avoid a serious crash.https://www.nhtsa.gov/road-safety Ask people to name the greatest investor of all time and chances are Warren Buffett will top the list. So what does he know that the rest of us don't? What principles has he followed for decades that allowed him to build one of history's greatest fortunes—and how can ordinary investors put those same ideas to work? Here to explain is John Longo, Professor of Professional Practice in the Finance and Economics Department at Rutgers Business School and Chief Investment Officer of Beacon Trust, a $3+ billion registered investment advisor. He is co-author of the book, Buffett's Tips: A Guide to Financial Literacy and Life.(https://amzn.to/4fjckqZ) No matter how hard we try to avoid them, disagreements are a part of life. The problem is that too many of them quickly turn into arguments where no one changes their mind and everyone walks away frustrated. But research shows there are surprisingly effective ways to disagree that make people more willing to listen, preserve relationships, and often lead to better outcomes. Here with that practical advice is Julia Minson, a behavioral scientist whose work focuses on the psychology of disagreement. Her research has been featured in TIME, The Atlantic, The Washington Post, and The New York Times. She is a professor at Harvard Kennedy School and author of the book How to Disagree Better (https://amzn.to/4wHHbEx).

Why do mosquitoes seem to feast on some people while barely bothering others? It turns out your attractiveness to mosquitoes has much less to do with "sweet blood" than with your body chemistry, the carbon dioxide you exhale, and even your skin microbes. Understanding what really attracts mosquitoes can help you avoid becoming their favorite summertime meal. https://hartfordhealthcare.org/about-us/news-press/news-detail?articleId=42234&publicid=395# Most people think eating healthier means giving up the foods they love and following a restrictive diet. Unfortunately, that's one reason so many diets fail. According to nutrition expert Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, you don't need to obsess over what you can't eat. Instead, the key is making sure your body gets the nutrients it needs while working with the foods you already enjoy. Dr. Ballantyne is founder of Nutrivore.com and author of Nutrivore: The Radical New Science for Getting the Nutrients You Need from the Food You Eat (https://amzn.to/4cREoPN). She explains how a simple shift in thinking can make healthy eating both easier and more sustainable. Few animals are as disliked as rats. They've been blamed for spreading disease, destroying property, and invading our homes for centuries. Yet rats are among the most adaptable and intelligent mammals on Earth. They've followed humans around the globe, thriving almost everywhere we live, and their remarkable survival skills reveal an animal that's far more sophisticated than its terrible reputation suggests. Joe Shute is an award-winning journalist and author of Stowaway: The Disreputable Exploits of the Rat (https://amzn.to/3WiYzPl). He shares the fascinating history of rats, why they have become such successful survivors, and why you may see these much-maligned rodents in a very different light after hearing his story. Most meetings are held around a conference table because... well, that's just how meetings are done. But research suggests the way people are physically arranged during a meeting can have a surprising impact on how they think, contribute, and work together. There is one simple change that can dramatically alter the dynamics of almost any meeting. https://www.inc.com/jessica-stillman/how-to-make-your-team-more-collaborative.html PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS WAYFAIR: Ready to upgrade your home for way less?

If your porch light seems to attract every moth and flying insect in the neighborhood, you're not imagining it. Scientists have finally figured out why artificial lights are so irresistible to many insects—and knowing what they've discovered can help you keep more bugs away this summer. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-024-44785-3 Some people seem to light up a room the moment they walk in. Others naturally draw people in, inspire confidence, and make lasting impressions. We call it charisma, and many assume you're either born with it or you're not. Olivia Fox Cabane says that's simply not true. In this conversation, she explains what charisma really is, why it's often misunderstood, and the surprisingly practical skills anyone can learn to become more influential and engaging. Olivia has advised leaders at Google, Deloitte, UBS, MGM, and TikTok, and is author of The Charisma Myth: How Anyone Can Master the Art and Science of Personal Magnetism (https://amzn.to/44kpuyI). For decades, we've talked about "the midlife crisis" as though it's inevitable. But what if we've gotten midlife completely wrong? Research suggests that your middle years can be one of the most productive, satisfying, and influential periods of your life. So why does this stage have such a negative reputation? And what are people in midlife uniquely positioned to do that younger and older adults often can't? Margie Lachman, Professor of Psychology at Brandeis University and director of the Lifespan Lab, shares a fresh, evidence-based perspective on why midlife deserves a lot more celebration than sympathy. She is author of Primetime: A New Vision for Midlife (https://amzn.to/4bpLbRJ). Have you ever searched everywhere for your keys or your glasses, only to discover they were sitting in plain sight the whole time?

Few foods are as American as the hamburger. Every year, Americans eat billions of them, and they are a staple at backyard barbecues, diners, ballparks, and restaurants around the world. Yet despite being one of the most recognizable foods on the planet, no one seems to agree on where the hamburger actually came from. Like many great origin stories, the history of the hamburger has become tangled in myth, hometown pride, and competing claims. Over the years, dozens of people and places have been credited with inventing it, but separating fact from folklore isn't easy. That's what prompted award-winning author and historian Chris Carosa to approach the mystery the way a detective would—by following the evidence wherever it led. Using classic investigative techniques, Chris dug through historical records, newspaper accounts, business documents, and eyewitness reports to piece together the hamburger's true story.

Dr. Salazar-Reyes has a warning that catches almost everyone off guard: put an ice pack on a fresh incision and you can choke off the blood flow that keeps the skin alive. Because your sensation is dulled afterward, you won't feel the burn until the damage is already done.Monique Ramsey gathers years of recovery answers into one guide that follows the whole arc — the mindset going in, the first hard days, and what healing actually feels like procedure by procedure.Along the way the LJCSC surgeons and team get specific: why a breast augmentation under the muscle aches more than one placed over it, how long eyelid swelling really lasts, when it's safe to drive again, what a 360 liposuction recovery involves with drains and compression, and the clean-sheets-and-no-pets rule nobody thinks about until they're already home.There's also the part people forget to plan for — where to stay those first nights, the lymphatic help that opens women's eyes the day after their drains come out, and one surgeon's answer to a golfer who wanted to hit balls two days post-op.

What if the new work coming your way is profitable, exciting, and consistent - but you are not sure whether it is a smart pivot or a slow drift away from the business you meant to build?In this episode of The Real Women Real Business Podcast, Shauna Lynn Simon shares a powerful conversation that came out of a recent Real Women Real Business Mastery Program group coaching call. When one service-based business owner realized the work she originally built her business around had gone quiet, while a different kind of work was gaining traction, it sparked an important question: should she lean into the demand or pause first?Shauna Lynn walks listeners through a three-part gut check to help business owners decide whether a new direction is aligned, strategic, and worth building around. She explains the difference between responding to the market and being led by the market, why money cannot be the only reason to pivot, and how to update a business vision without abandoning it.Listeners will walk away with a clear decision-making filter for pivots, offers, market demand, and business growth.Timestamps:(01:50) - (04:14) - Why business owners need intentional gut checks before changing direction(04:15) - (08:57) - The difference between responding to the market and being led by it(08:58) - (13:35) - Gut check one: would you still choose this work if money did not matter?(13:36) - (18:09) - Gut check two: does this new direction align with your business vision?(18:10) - (25:15) - Gut check three: do you need to update your vision or treat this as a detour?(25:16) - (30:35) - How to follow demand with intention and stay in control of your business growthResources:Book Your FREE Coaching Assessment Call with Shauna Lynn: https://www.aboutshaunalynn.com/coachmeLearn more about the show: AboutShaunaLynn.com/podcastLearn more about the Real Women Real Business Mastery Program: https://realwomenrealbusiness.com

Take a look at your speedometer the next time you're driving. Chances are, it's lying to you. The speed you're actually traveling is probably different from what the dashboard says—and that's completely intentional. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speedometer?utm From the time we're children, we're constantly reminded to "sit up straight" and "don't slouch." We've been told that good posture prevents pain, improves health, and even makes us more confident. But how much of that is actually supported by science? According to Beth Linker, surprisingly little. In this conversation, she explores where our ideas about posture came from, why so many assumptions have gone unchallenged, and what the evidence really says about the way we sit, stand, and move. Beth is a former physical therapist, medical historian, and author of Slouch: Posture Panic in Modern America (https://amzn.to/4480Hhk). Imagine remembering names almost instantly, recalling conversations in remarkable detail, or memorizing enormous amounts of information with ease. It may sound like a rare gift, but Nelson Dellis says it's a skill almost anyone can learn. As a six-time USA Memory Champion, a two-time Guinness World Record holder and Grandmaster of Memory. He has mastered techniques that dramatically improve recall—and they're far simpler than most people imagine. In our conversation, Nelson explains how memory really works, why we forget so much, and the practical strategies you can start using immediately to remember more of what matters. He is author of Everyday Genius: Hacks to Boost Your Memory, Focus, Problem-Solving, and Much More (https://amzn.to/3Rlxpc7). Tennis balls haven't always been bright yellow. For decades they were white, just as many people assume they always were. So why did manufacturers change one of the most recognizable pieces of sports equipment in the world? Interestingly, the answer has very little to do with tennis players—and everything to do with the people watching the match. https://www.itftennis.com/media/2280/balls-history-of-tennis-balls.pdf PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS WAYFAIR: Ready to upgrade your home for way less?

Can simply believing a treatment will work actually help it work better? Surprisingly, yes. Researchers have found that your expectations can have a powerful effect on how your body responds to medication—even when the treatment itself hasn't changed. https://www.betterhealth.vic.gov.au/health/conditionsandtreatments/placebo-effect Most of us think of politeness as little more than saying "please" and "thank you." But good manners do much more than make social interactions pleasant. They help build trust, strengthen relationships, reduce conflict, and even influence how people judge our competence and character. So why are some people naturally more polite than others? Do the rules of politeness change depending on where you are or who you're talking to? And can you be blunt—or even rude—and still earn people's respect? Louise Mullany has spent more than 25 years studying the science of politeness. She is Professor of Sociolinguistics at the University of Nottingham and author of Polite: The Art of Communication at Home, at Work and in Public (https://amzn.to/3xVN9Jo). You can outsource your résumé, polish your LinkedIn profile, and even use AI to help write a cover letter. But when it's time for the interview, it's all on you. Too many candidates hope they'll "just answer the questions," only to discover they weren't nearly as prepared as they thought. Sam Owens explains what hiring managers are really looking for, the mistakes that immediately hurt your chances, and how a little preparation can dramatically improve your performance—whether you're interviewing in person or over Zoom.

MSG has had a bad reputation for decades. Many people avoid it because they believe it's unhealthy or causes unpleasant reactions. But where did that belief come from?

Have you ever pushed on a door that was supposed to be pulled—or pulled when you should have pushed? It feels embarrassing, but don't blame yourself. It turns out the problem usually isn't you. It's the door. https://uxdesign.cc/intro-to-ux-the-norman-door-61f8120b6086 Everyone has an accent—even if they don't think they do. The way you speak tells a story about where you've been, who influenced you, and sometimes even how other people perceive you before you've said more than a few words. Why do accents develop? Why are they so difficult to lose? And do people with accents realize they have one, or do they think everyone else sounds different? Erik Singer, one of Hollywood's leading dialect coaches, explains the fascinating science, history, and psychology behind the way we speak. He has analyzed accents from around the world for millions of viewers online (https://www.eriksinger.com/) and is author of the forthcoming book The Case of the Disappearing R. We all replay conversations in our heads. We rethink decisions, relive embarrassing moments, and imagine what we should have said or done differently. It feels productive—as if we're solving a problem. But more often than not, we're simply trapped in a mental loop called rumination. Far from helping, rumination can fuel anxiety, depression, stress, and self-doubt while making it harder to move forward. Science journalist Donna Jackson Nakazawa explains why our brains get caught in these loops, why they're so difficult to break, and what actually works to quiet an overactive mind. She is author of Mind Drama: The Science of Rumination and How to Outwit Your Inner Defeatist (https://amzn.to/4vKWiNs). You've probably heard the advice that couples who want happier relationships should simply have sex more often.

What does it really mean to be successful? Most people would probably say it's about making more money, climbing the career ladder, earning recognition, or becoming well known. But what if we've been measuring success all wrong? After spending years traveling the country as host of Dirty Jobs, Mike Rowe met thousands of people whose work is essential but rarely celebrated. Welders, plumbers, linemen, mechanics, farmers, and countless others showed him that fulfillment, purpose, and success often have very little to do with prestige—and a lot to do with attitude, craftsmanship, and showing up when it matters. In this fascinating conversation, Mike challenges many of the assumptions we've come to accept about work, education, persistence, efficiency, and what it really takes to build a satisfying life. Even if you don't agree with all of his conclusions, his perspective is thoughtful, refreshing, and guaranteed to make you reconsider some deeply held beliefs. Mike Rowe is creator and longtime host of Dirty Jobs, founder of the mikeroweWORKS Foundation (www.mikeroweworks.com), host of the podcast The Way I Heard It (https://mikerowe.com/podcast/), and author of the bestselling book The Way I Heard It (https://amzn.to/34Dikog).

AI search can confidently send someone to a surgeon who's retired, connect them to a competing office's phone number by mistake, or invent a reputation out of two or three scattered reviews. None of it happens because the system is trying to deceive anyone — it happens because these tools are built to sound certain, not to be accurate.Monique talks with Ryan Miller, CEO of Etna Interactive, a digital marketing agency that works with hundreds of plastic surgery practices nationwide, including LJCSC.Ryan recently spoke to hundreds of surgeons on this topic at the Aesthetic Society's annual meeting, sounding the alarm about a wave of practices gaming AI search and claiming to be “ranked number one” with no defined scale to back it up.He walks through why AI search compresses the old click-and-read research cycle into one confident answer, why ChatGPT leans on a certain site's reviews, and why enforcement against false claims is so rare that bad actors are currently being rewarded for it.Ryan also shares the three questions worth asking in a live consultation, why a surgeon willing to say “no” deserves more trust than one who never does, and how to fact-check an AI recommendation before it becomes a decision with lifelong consequences.Learn more about Ryan Miller, CEO of Etna InteractiveConnect with Ryan on LinkedInLearn more about La Jolla Cosmetic Surgery CentreQuestions answered by this episodeHow is AI search different from a regular Google search?Can a plastic surgeon legally claim to be “ranked number one” online?Why would a practice with a perfect five-star rating actually be rated lower everywhere else?Does ChatGPT use Google reviews to recommend a plastic surgeon?Can AI recommend a surgeon who has retired or passed away?Who regulates false advertising by plastic surgeons?How fast can misinformation about a practice spread through AI search?What questions should I ask a plastic surgeon during a consultation?Should I trust an AI recommendation when choosing a plastic surgeon?What's the best way to verify a surgeon's credentials before booking a consultation?About this podcastLearn from the talented plastic surgeons inside La Jolla Cosmetic Surgery Centre, the 12x winner of the San Diego's Best Union-Tribune Readers Poll, global winner of the 2020 MyFaceMyBody Best Cosmetic/Plastic Surgery Practice, and the 2025 winner of Best Cosmetic Surgery Group in San Diego Magazine's Best of San Diego Awards.Join hostess Monique Ramsey as she takes you inside LJCSC, where dreams become real.

A well-done facelift should hold for 10 to 12 years, sometimes 15 — but only if a surgeon steers a patient toward the right depth from the start. Here's how four surgeons actually make that call.Dr. John Smoot has a two-second move he runs in nearly every consultation: he tugs the skin back near a patient's temple and watches what happens next. If it bunches or pleats, a short-scar mini lift won't hold — full stop, no matter how badly someone wants the smaller procedure.Dr. Johan Brahme breaks down the real difference between a mini, a SMAS, and a deep plane facelift — not marketing names, but how deep into the face each one goes and why that depth changes both the results and the risks. Dr. Kiersten Riedler explains who benefits most from the deep plane approach and walks through eyelid surgery recovery in detail, down to the actual pain scale patients report. Dr. Hector Salazar-Reyes maps out every option for treating an aging neck, from non-surgical energy devices to a full neck lift, including a procedure that's traditionally been requested almost exclusively by men.Monique Ramsey curates the best conversations with the plastic surgeons of La Jolla Cosmetic Surgery Centre into one facelift masterclass covering the questions people actually ask before a consultation. LinksMeet San Diego plastic surgeon Dr. Johan BrahmeMeet San Diego plastic surgeon Dr. Kiersten RiedlerMeet San Diego plastic surgeon Dr. John SmootMeet San Diego plastic surgeon Dr. Hector Salazar-ReyesLearn more about facelift surgeryQuestions answered by this episodeWhat's the difference between a deep plane facelift and a SMAS facelift?How do I know if I need a mini facelift or a full facelift?How long does a facelift actually last?What are the risks of a deep plane facelift?Can a deep plane facelift affect the nerves in my face?What are my options for tightening a sagging neck without surgery?What is a T-Z plasty and who is it for?How painful is eyelid surgery recovery?How long does bruising and swelling last after eyelid surgery?Should I combine lower eyelid surgery with fat transfer?About this podcastLearn from the talented plastic surgeons inside La Jolla Cosmetic Surgery Centre, the 12x winner of the San Diego's Best Union-Tribune Readers Poll, global winner of the 2020 MyFaceMyBody Best Cosmetic/Plastic Surgery Practice, and the 2025 winner of Best Cosmetic Surgery Group in San Diego Magazine's Best of San Diego Awards.Join hostess Monique Ramsey as she takes you inside LJCSC, where dreams become real.

The number on the scale went down, so why does everything still feel soft, loose, and unfinished? Monique Ramsey curates the best moments from conversations with the LJCSC team to answer the question that lands in consultations almost every day.Janelle Robinson, who leads the practice and has used the medication herself, explains who's actually showing up for the medical weight loss program at LJCSC — and it's not people with 50 pounds to lose. Dr. Gerald Haas educates us about what the medical literature actually says versus what TikTok is selling.Dr. Hector Salazar lays out the tummy tuck decision framework — four separate benefits that stack on top of each other, and why a perfect candidate earns a spot in the textbook. Dr. Luke Swistun adds the 360 lipo argument: why three positions instead of two, and what the back's adherent zones actually explain about those mid-back rolls. Dr. Johan Brahme addresses the sequencing question — why the abdomen almost always comes first when someone needs multiple areas done.Dr. Salazar has a phrase for the moment a candidate checks every box: they'd be "figure 1A" of a textbook chapter on tummy tucks.

For a lot of women, the most intimidating part of a cosmetic procedure isn't the operating room. It's the money, and the quiet worry that asking about it makes you look like you can't afford it. LJCSC built its whole intake process around taking that fear off the table long before you walk through the door.Janelle Robinson returns to show how the LJC team takes the mystery out of the price from the very first phone call. Ballpark pricing is published online and quoted right over the phone, so you can picture the real number before you ever book a consult, and a trained coordinator like Marissa can map a likely surgical plan and monthly payment scenarios on the spot. Janelle also makes the case that a payment plan is not a fallback for people who are short on money. Nearly one in three of the women at LJCSC choose one, plenty of them with the cash already saved, simply because it keeps that money free for the family while they pay over 6, 12, 18, or 24 months at no interest.Janelle walks through the soft check that won't touch your credit and takes about a minute, why there's no penalty for paying early, and how a woman who came in for just her eyes ended up doing a full facial rejuvenation under one recovery once she saw how the numbers actually worked.LinksSee La Jolla Cosmetic Surgery Centre payment plans and ways to payBrowse La Jolla Cosmetic Surgery Centre ballpark pricingQuestions answered by this episode1.

Dr. Hector Salazar-Reyes explains why glandular breast tissue in men sits exactly where it's hardest to hide, and why building up the muscle around it can make it stand out even more.Across the conversation with hostess Monique Ramsey, Dr. Salazar walks through the “polo shirt test” that tells most men whether they're a candidate, how he separates true glandular tissue from fat during the exam, and why steroids, certain medications, and even marijuana can trigger the condition long before middle age. Dr. Salazar divides the fix into two worlds: liposuction — including the high-definition version that helps the skin shrink and tighten — and direct excision, where the tissue comes out through a small incision around the areola. For the most severe cases, he reveals the “secret weapon” that flattens the chest completely and rebuilds the nipple from scratch.Hear what recovery really looks like, from compression garments to when weightlifters can pick the bar back up, and why nearly every man who finally does this says the same thing afterward: he should have done it years ago.LinksMeet San Diego plastic surgeon Dr. Hector Salazar-ReyesLearn more about male breast reduction in San DiegoQuestions answered by this episodeWhat is gynecomastia, and what causes it?What's the difference between true gynecomastia and chest fat?Can working out get rid of man boobs?Why does my chest look worse after I lose weight or build muscle?What is the “polo shirt test” for gynecomastia?Can steroids, marijuana, or medications cause gynecomastia?What's the difference between liposuction and excision for male breast reduction?How much does male breast reduction cost in San Diego?How long does it take to recover from gynecomastia surgery?When can I lift weights again after male breast reduction?About this podcastLearn from the talented plastic surgeons inside La Jolla Cosmetic Surgery Centre, the 12x winner of the San Diego's Best Union-Tribune Readers Poll, global winner of the 2020 MyFaceMyBody Best Cosmetic/Plastic Surgery Practice, and the 2025 winner of Best Cosmetic Surgery Group in San Diego Magazine's Best of San Diego Awards.Join hostess Monique Ramsey as she takes you inside LJCSC, where dreams become real.

A woman walks into the office holding her phone, points at a stranger's before-and-after, and says she doesn't want that result. Dr. Luke Swistun's answer is almost always the same: that isn't you. The photo shows someone with different tissue, different proportions, and usually a different surgery — none of which predicts where her own breasts will settle.Dr. Swistun is the explant expert at La Jolla Cosmetic Surgery Centre, and women fly into San Diego from all over to see him. With hostess Monique Ramsey, he walks through a single real before-and-after — the same woman at two months, six months, and two years — and explains what's swelling, what's final shape, and where the nipple sits relative to the breast fold (the landmarks that drive every decision). He covers why some women need a lift, some need fat grafting, and some need nothing at all, plus a delayed lower-pole skin excision done under local in about an hour, and serial fat grafting that builds a full B with no implant at all. The conversation lands on the part most women aren't ready for: how different they feel once the implants are gone.His rule for anyone afraid of the scars: do less, because you can always do more. The woman in that progression took it — removed the implants, waited, then tightened a little skin under local — and told him afterward they look exactly like they did in high school.LinksListen to more breast implant removal episodes:Fat Transfer, What Could Go Wrong? with Dr. SwistunPlastic Surgeon Clears Up Capsulectomy Confusion with Dr. SwistunPatient Janelle: Why I Had My Implants Removed After 22 YearsMeet San Diego plastic surgeon Dr. Luke SwistunLearn more about breast implant removal (explant)Questions answered by this episode1.

Around 48 to 72 hours after surgery, swelling peaks, the anesthesia haze lifts, and a lot of women look in the mirror and feel like they've made a mistake. Dr. Diana Breister has been in plastic surgery long enough to know that feeling almost never means what people think it means. Most of the time, it's not regret — it's chaos.Dr. Breister, who came to La Jolla Cosmetic after years of reconstructive work at City of Hope, walks Monique through what's actually happening between day one and day fourteen. The first 48 hours are what she calls a “pink bubble” — anesthesia still on board, surgery behind you, mostly relief. Then comes the crash: maximum swelling, pain pills affecting mood, a body shape that doesn't look like the final result yet, and the strange weight of doing nothing while everyone else is productive. They get into the difference between regret and shock, why facelifts feel harder than mommy makeovers, the mean-girl moment that derailed a breast reduction recovery, and what to do when your partner isn't showing up.Three words anchor the whole conversation: trust the process. Dr. Breister explains why she can promise, with 200% certainty, that the feeling will pass — and why the women who say “what did I do” at week one almost never remember saying it by year one.LinksMeet San Diego plastic surgeon Dr. Diana BreisterLearn more about facelift surgery at LJCSCQuestions answered by this episodeWhy do I feel sad or emotional after plastic surgery?When does swelling peak after cosmetic surgery?Is it normal to regret plastic surgery in the first two weeks?What is post-surgery depression and how long does it last?Can anesthesia and pain medication change how I feel emotionally?Why does my face or body look so different right after surgery?How should a partner or family member support someone recovering from cosmetic surgery?Why do facelifts feel harder emotionally than other procedures?What are the biggest mistakes people make in the first two weeks of recovery?How do I tell the difference between normal swelling and a real problem?About this podcastLearn from the talented plastic surgeons inside La Jolla Cosmetic Surgery Centre, the 12x winner of the San Diego's Best Union-Tribune Readers Poll, global winner of the 2020 MyFaceMyBody Best Cosmetic/Plastic Surgery Practice, and the 2025 winner of Best Cosmetic Surgery Group in San Diego Magazine's Best of San Diego Awards.Join hostess Monique Ramsey as she takes you inside LJCSC, where dreams become real.

At ten or eleven years old, Dr. Hector Salazar watched his grandmother step off a plane looking dramatically younger than she had a month earlier. She had quietly traveled out of town for cosmetic surgery, healed through the swelling and bruising in private, and come home presentable. That moment redirected a kid who, a few years earlier, had been caping the family dog like a bullfighter — toward seventeen years of training that would make him a board-certified plastic surgeon.Monique talks with Dr. Salazar about the long road from medical school to general surgery training in Chicago to plastic surgery at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, inside what he describes as the largest medical center in the world. He explains why training as a general surgeon first — including the fifty to sixty kidney transplants he participated in — makes him a more well-rounded plastic surgeon, and where that background stops being useful in aesthetic work. The conversation covers oral boards (defending a year's worth of his own cases in front of a room of senior plastic surgeons), the legal-household upbringing that shaped his approach to safety and compliance, and why he returned to San Diego in 2015.He also shares what really happens in a consultation at LJCSC, and why he tells anyone who arrives with someone else's surgical plan that the only goal that matters is theirs.LinksMeet San Diego plastic surgeon Dr. Hector Salazar-ReyesRead real patient reviews from La Jolla Cosmetic Surgery CentreQuestions answered by this episodeWho is Dr. Hector Salazar-Reyes?Where did Dr. Hector Salazar-Reyes train as a plastic surgeon?How many years of training does it take to become a board-certified plastic surgeon?What is the difference between an integrated and a traditional plastic surgery residency?Why does board certification matter when choosing a plastic surgeon?How does a general surgery background prepare someone for plastic surgery?What happens at the plastic surgery oral board exam?What should I expect at a plastic surgery consultation in San Diego?Is it normal to get a second opinion before plastic surgery?How do I find a safe, board-certified plastic surgeon in San Diego?About this podcastLearn from the talented plastic surgeons inside La Jolla Cosmetic Surgery Centre, the 12x winner of the San Diego's Best Union-Tribune Readers Poll, global winner of the 2020 MyFaceMyBody Best Cosmetic/Plastic Surgery Practice, and the 2025 winner of Best Cosmetic Surgery Group in San Diego Magazine's Best of San Diego Awards.Join hostess Monique Ramsey as she takes you inside LJCSC, where dreams become real.

Dr. Diana Breister, a board-certified plastic surgeon who has done mommy makeovers in San Diego for over twenty years, joins us to talk about everything that happens after the six-week post-op visit. You can do planks, but no crunches for at least a year. The rectus muscles she stitches back together during a tummy tuck stay hyperactive long after the skin looks healed, and trying to fire them up too early can send them straight into spasm.Scars are still maturing for up to two years. Future pregnancies hold up better than most women expect. GLP-1 weight loss of 30 or 40 pounds can re-loosen the skin a tummy tuck just tightened. Nipple sensation often returns within weeks, though less than 4% of women lose it entirely.Dr. Breister also walks through which scar treatments actually have science behind them, how to handle the wardrobe purge nobody warns women about, and why she won't operate until seven months after a woman finishes breastfeeding.The most useful moment in the conversation comes from Dr. Breister herself: a mommy makeover isn't building a new identity. It's restoring the one you had before.LinksMeet San Diego plastic surgeon Dr. Diana BreisterLearn more about mommy makeoverQuestions answered by this episode:1.

Six months after her breast implants came out, a young woman handed Dr. Luke Swistun a full, untouched bottle of Xanax — the same prescription she had been burning through at three to four pills a day before the explant. Stories like hers are why Monique Ramsey is marking 230 episodes and five years of the La Jolla Cosmetic Podcast by going back to the archive.Monique counts down one moment from each of the five LJCSC surgeons — Dr. Johan Brahme on why a brow lift feminizes women but makes men look permanently surprised (with Jim Carrey as Exhibit A), Dr. Kiersten Riedler's gingerbread cookie answer about what natural facial plastic surgery should actually look like, Dr. Diana Breister on the women who walk back into her office with a skip in their step after fixing something they were too embarrassed to bring up with their gynecologist, Dr. Swistun's full account of the patient whose intractable anxiety vanished the day her implants came out, and the one question Dr. Hector Salazar-Reyes says will tell you whether the surgeon across from you is the real deal.Then there is the moment that did not make the countdown — Marie Olesen on episode 100, telling the story of the woman who told Dr. Merrel Olesen, “I need to get a life,” and drove him to change the patient experience for everyone.LinksMeet the San Diego plastic surgeons of LJCSCBrowse five years of the La Jolla Cosmetic PodcastQuestions answered by this episodeWhat questions should I ask my plastic surgeon during a consultation?Why are hospital privileges important when choosing a cosmetic surgeon?How do I know if my cosmetic surgeon is qualified to do my procedure?Can breast implants cause anxiety or panic attacks?Will breast implant removal help anxiety caused by implants?Why do some brow lifts make people look permanently surprised?What does a natural-looking facelift actually look like?What is recovery like after labiaplasty?Should an OB/GYN or oral surgeon be doing cosmetic procedures like breast augmentation or tummy tucks?How long has La Jolla Cosmetic Surgery Centre been performing cosmetic surgery in San Diego?About this podcastLearn from the talented plastic surgeons inside La Jolla Cosmetic Surgery Centre, the 12x winner of the San Diego's Best Union-Tribune Readers Poll, global winner of the 2020 MyFaceMyBody Best Cosmetic/Plastic Surgery Practice, and the 2025 winner of Best Cosmetic Surgery Group in San Diego Magazine's Best of San Diego Awards.Join hostess Monique Ramsey as she takes you inside LJCSC, where dreams become real.

When breast implant illness support groups started telling each other to ask their plastic surgeon for an “en bloc capsulectomy,” they were borrowing a term from cancer surgery — and asking for something most surgeons knew was impossible. The plastic surgery community didn't correct them. They listened, and then they renamed it.Dr. Luke Swistun walks hostess Monique Ramsey through the Breast Surgery Collaborative Community Consensus and the four types of capsulectomy that came out of it: total intact capsulectomy (the surgery the en bloc community was actually asking for), total precise capsulectomy, partial capsulectomy, and the original cancer-surgery en bloc — a procedure he's performed exactly once in his career, on a woman with breast implant–associated lymphoma. He covers when leaving a sliver of capsule is the safer choice, why every capsule he removes goes to pathology, what imaging he wants done before surgery, and why he films almost every explant for the woman who just had it.Find out why Dr. Swistun openly credits the breast implant illness community for forcing the conversation, what recovery actually looks like across all four procedures, and the one thing he admits is overdue on his own website.LinksMeet San Diego plastic surgeon Dr. Luke SwistunLearn more about breast implant removalQuestions answered by this episode1.

Most schools say they “collaborate.” They hold team meetings. They talk about students. They review data.But without clear infrastructure, those meetings become updates instead of decision-making engines, and multi-tiered systems of support become an extra burden for educators. In this episode, I interview Kurtis Hewson from Jigsaw Learning to break down their Collaborative Response Team meeting format and explain why effective collaboration requires structure and not just good intentions. From who is in the room to how documents are used before, during, and after the meeting, they share the operational backbone that makes collaboration actually move student outcomes.Kurtis Hewson is an award-winning former administrator and teacher, as well as post-secondary teaching faculty. He is the co-founder of Jigsaw Learning and co-author of Collaborative Response: Three Foundational Components That Transform How We Respond to the Needs of Learners (Corwin, 2022). Kurtis works with districts and schools nationally and internationally to establish Collaborative Response frameworks and interacts with thousands of educators each year.If you care about MTSS, intervention systems, or building-level leadership, this episode will shift how you think about team meetings and collaboration. In this interview, we discuss: ✅ Why the Collaborative Team Meeting framework helps educators move from between “talking about students” to making strategic, forward progress that changes school-wide practice✅ How structured documents before, during, and after meetings create clarity and accountability and psychological safety✅ How to capture action items in real time and encourage innovative thinking✅ Why the Collaborative Team Meeting requires specific roles, and how these roles  determine whether a meeting moves forward or feels like busyworkIf you're leading multi-tiered supports in K–12 education or trying to strengthen how your teams collaborate, this episode offers practical insight into building the infrastructure that makes collaboration sustainable, focused, and impactful.You can learn more about the Collaborative Response Framework free resources here: https://www.jigsawlearning.ca/freeRead about the Overview of Collaborative Response here: https://bit.ly/CR-overview Read the Introductory Chapter of the text Collaborative Response – https://bit.ly/CR-introGet the Collaborative Team Meeting Starter Kit here: https://www.jigsawlearningonline.com/ctm-starter-kit-podcastLearn about the Layers of Collaborative Teams Here: https://www.jigsawlearning.ca/publications/blog-posts/scaffolding-our-collaborative-response-purposeful-layering-tLearn the Five Considerations to Transform Your Team Meetings here:  https://www.jigsawlearningonline.com/five-planning-considerations-to-transform-your-team-meetingsIn this episode, I mentioned Language Therapy Advance Foundations, my program that gives speech pathologists a scalable framework for building language skills needed to thrive in school, social situations, and daily life.

Most patients walk into a breast augmentation consultation hoping to leave with answers. Ella walked in with research, reference photos, and a clear vision — and then made the deliberate decision to trust her plastic surgeon's judgment in the operating room.Born and raised on Oahu and a self-described petite, very active person, Ella spent over a year researching plastic surgeons in Hawaii and San Diego before booking a consultation at La Jolla Cosmetic Surgery Centre with Dr. Hector Salazar-Reyes. Six weeks post-op, she walks us through every step — from the research that led her to LJCSC, to her first time ever going under anesthesia, to the moment Dr. Salazar quietly chose a different implant size for her in the operating room.Find out how she landed on 220cc Allergan Natrelle implants after sizing 265cc, why she's describing her closet as “a brand-new wardrobe with all the same clothes,” and the one thing she wishes more first-time surgical patients understood about being mentally ready.LinksMeet San Diego plastic surgeon Dr. Hector Salazar-ReyesLearn more about breast augmentationQuestions answered by this episodeDoes breast augmentation hurt?How long does breast augmentation recovery take?Is breast augmentation worth it?How do you choose a plastic surgeon for breast augmentation?How do you decide what size breast implants to get?When can you exercise after breast augmentation?What size implants are best for a petite frame?Should you tell people you're getting breast augmentation?What are Allergan Natrelle implants?What is the day of breast augmentation surgery like?About this podcastLearn from the talented plastic surgeons inside La Jolla Cosmetic Surgery Centre, the 12x winner of the San Diego's Best Union-Tribune Readers Poll, global winner of the 2020 MyFaceMyBody Best Cosmetic/Plastic Surgery Practice, and the 2025 winner of Best Cosmetic Surgery Group in San Diego Magazine's Best of San Diego Awards.Join hostess Monique Ramsey as she takes you inside LJCSC, where dreams become real.
