Beauty is a Bitch

This week on Beauty Is a Bitch, I sit down with @phdfemininehealth CEO and co-founder Dee Seymour to talk about something we all need to get better at: how we talk about our bodies—and how we can Raise Our Vagina iQ™. We covered it all—from the shame many of us were raised with, to why so many women still don’t have the words to describe what’s happening in their own vaginas. (Yes, we say the word—and you should too.) Dee shares why language is a form of self-care, how their new campaign is changing the conversation around menopause, discharge and dryness—and why smart women deserve smart words about their bodies. The campaign launches today with a billboard in Times Square and a powerful call to action: Raise your Vagina iQ™.

In this episode of Beauty is a Bitch, I’m joined by Dr. Michael Aziz, a board-certified internist, regenerative medicine expert, and author of the bestselling The Perfect 10 Diet. His latest book, The Ageless Revolution: 10 Hallmarks of Aging That Hold the Secret to Defeating Disease, Reversing Age, Looking Younger, and Living Longer, explores how we can slow down aging and prevent disease—starting at the cellular level. We dive into some of the top anti-aging foods you should be eating now (hint: your kitchen may already have a few), and why gut health and healthy fats play a critical role in how well we age. Dr. Aziz also shares why certain restrictive diets—including vegetarian, low-carb, and keto—may not be the best choice for long-term health and vitality, especially for women in midlife. If you’re curious about how to support your body from the inside out and make smarter food choices that align with graceful, healthy aging—this episode is packed with insight, practical tips, and maybe even a few surprises.

Welcome back to Beauty is a Bitch, where we get real about aging, confidence, and owning your power in midlife and beyond. Today’s episode is extra special because I got to sit down with the one and only Julia Haart. You probably know her from the hit Netflix series My Unorthodox Life, but she’s so much more than that. Julia is a total force—a self-made entrepreneur, author and advocate for women’s empowerment. She’s lived a life of radical reinvention, going from an ultra-Orthodox community to becoming the CEO of major fashion brands and now launching her own shapewear line, Body by Julia Haart—which, by the way, includes my new favorite bra. Seriously. We got into it all—what it really means to feel sexy and confident as we age, how to break free from limiting beliefs, and why it’s time we stop shrinking ourselves just because society expects us to. We talked body image, personal style, reinvention, navigating criticism, and how to rewrite your story at any age. Oh—and we got on like gangbusters. I now consider her one of my besties (not in a creepy way, I promise). This conversation is honest, empowering, and full of truth bombs you don’t want to miss.

In midlife, our bodies start speaking louder—whether through hormonal shifts, chronic inflammation, or the wear and tear of years of stress. Western medicine often focuses on treating symptoms, while Eastern healing philosophies emphasize root-cause healing, balance, and longevity. But what if we could blend the best of both worlds for a truly comprehensive, patient-centered approach to health? This week, I’m joined by Dr. Anuradha Lala-Trindade (Anu Lala), a renowned cardiologist specializing in heart failure management, cardiometabolic disease, and holistic patient care. She believes in a patient-centered approach, integrating medical advancements with emotional and spiritual well-being to create personalized treatment plans. Dr. Lala serves as Deputy Editor of the Journal of Cardiac Failure, leads research for major cardiology networks, and has been recognized by the American Heart Association and the American College of Cardiology for her contributions to cardiovascular education and awareness. In this episode we discuss; * How Western medicine & Eastern healing complement each other in midlife health * Why treatment ≠ healing and how to shift from symptom management to whole-body wellness * The role of chronic inflammation in aging & how to reduce it naturally * How stress, trauma, and emotional health impact heart disease and longevity * The best lifestyle strategies to balance hormones, improve metabolism & boost energy * How to navigate medication vs. lifestyle interventions to create the best health plan If you’re ready to explore a more balanced, integrated approach to health and healing in midlife, this episode is for you.
