• Hair Longevity & Precision Scalp Care with Dr. Jessica Weiser and KeraFactor™

  In this episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with Dr. Jessica Weiser, board-certified dermatologist and founder of Weiser Skin MD, to shed light on one of the most overlooked yet vital parts of dermatology — the scalp. Often forgotten in the broader conversation about skin health, the scalp is one of the body’s most complex ecosystems, driving everything from follicle vitality to inflammation control. “It’s not just where your hair grows,” Dr. Weiser explains. “It’s living, breathing skin with its own microbiome and metabolism.”Dr. Weiser takes us through the evolution of scalp science, from traditional PRP injections to the groundbreaking KeraFactor® system, a peptide- and growth-factor-based approach that precisely reactivates dormant follicles and promotes angiogenesis. She also dives into the power of red-light therapy, breaking down how dual-wavelength photobiomodulation reawakens cellular energy and circulation to fuel stronger, thicker hair.Beyond technology, Dr. Weiser emphasizes a holistic blueprint for hair longevity — addressing hormones, nutrition, stress, and scalp inflammation as interconnected variables rather than isolated issues. “The goal isn’t overnight regrowth,” she says. “It’s rebuilding the entire scalp ecosystem for long-term strength and balance.”This conversation reframes hair care as true skin science, not surface-level maintenance. Tune in to hear how Dr. Jessica Weiser and KeraFactor are ushering in a new era of biologically intelligent scalp therapy — where light, peptides, and precision meet to redefine the future of hair health.Learn more about KeraFactor on their website and social media!CHAPTERS:0:02 – Introduction & Guest Welcome1:08 – Dr. Weiser’s Background & Path to Dermatology3:01 – The Scalp: Skin’s Forgotten Ecosystem5:24 – Early Signs of Scalp Imbalance6:33 – Why Scalp Care Is Overlooked8:10 – Growth Factors, Peptides & Hair Regeneration9:38 – The Science & Evolution of KeraFactor™13:04 – How Peptides Reactivate Hair Follicles17:34 – KeraFlex Duo & The Future of At-Home Hair WellnessPlease fill out this survey to give us feedback on the show!Don’t forget to subscribe to Skin Anarchy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred platform.Reach out to us through email with any questions.Sign up for our newsletter!Shop all our episodes and products mentioned through our ShopMy Shelf!*This is a paid collaboration* Hosted on Acast.

• May Lindstrom on Clean Beauty, Healing, and Self-Connection: How Sensitivity Sparked a Cult Skincare Brand

  In this deeply soulful episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with May Lindstrom, founder of May Lindstrom Skin, to explore the intimate connection between sensitivity, ritual, and true nourishment. Known for her artisanal, plant-based formulations and sensory-rich approach to beauty, May shares how her lifelong struggle with eczema led her to create skincare that heals rather than hides — born from necessity, curiosity, and love.Raised in the natural stillness of northern Minnesota, May found refuge in the earth’s elements — clays, oils, honey, and herbs — long before “clean beauty” became a movement. “It’s not that skincare is bad,” she reflects. “It’s just not made for me.” That realization sparked a philosophy rooted in respect for the skin as a living organ, not a canvas for correction. Her formulations — minimal, potent, and entirely natural — focus on feeding the skin what it recognizes, not overwhelming it with synthetics.Her cult-favorite creation, The Blue Cocoon, captures that essence — a calming blue balm made with blue tansy, designed to soothe inflammation, heal sensitivity, and offer a moment of self-grounding. “It’s like a hug for your skin,” May says. “A reminder to slow down and care.”This episode is a meditation on slowing down in a world obsessed with surface perfection. Tune in as May Lindstrom and Dr. Ekta explore how skincare can be both science and soul — an act of self-connection that begins and ends with care.Shop May Lindstrom SkinCHAPTERS:0:02 – Introduction & Guest Welcome0:38 – Defining Sensitive Skin & Root Causes2:22 – Early Experiences & Family Influence5:05 – Discovering Natural Healing Through Clay & Plants7:30 – The Unspoken Truth About Sensitive Skin & Industry Gaps8:12 – Treating Skin as an Organ, Not a Surface12:13 – Ingredients to Avoid & The Power of Simplicity17:47 – Creating with Intention: Ritual Over Trend21:39 – The Blue Cocoon: A Symbol of Healing & Ritual25:02 – Nourishment, Longevity & Final ReflectionsPlease fill out this survey to give us feedback on the show!Don’t forget to subscribe to Skin Anarchy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred platform.Reach out to us through email with any questions.Sign up for our newsletter!Shop all our episodes and products mentioned through our ShopMy Shelf!

• The Art and Science of Thread Lifts Ft. Giovanna McCarthy of PDO Max

  In this episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with Giovanna McCarthy, founder of PDO Max, to uncover the history, science, and artistry behind one of modern aesthetics’ most transformative tools — PDO threads. With over forty years of experience in medical aesthetics, Giovanna shares how her early exposure to European skincare and her mother’s story of burn recovery shaped a lifelong mission to heal, restore, and innovate.What began with some of the first U.S. day spas in the 1990s evolved into a pioneering medical aesthetics brand leading the way in regenerative skin lifting. At PDO Max, Giovanna introduced dissolvable polydioxanone threads, designed to stimulate collagen and elastin production for natural structure and rejuvenation — not to replace surgery, but to support it. “Threads aren’t about pulling,” she says. “They’re about rebuilding.”Giovanna also dives into the cellular science behind this subtle transformation — how PDO threads ignite healing responses that restore turgor, elasticity, and dermal vitality. Her philosophy is one of balance: rebuild, don’t overcorrect. “Too much trauma, too fast, can strip the skin of life,” she warns.Expanding into regenerative skincare, PDO Max now offers post-procedure formulas powered by PDRN, a DNA compound long used in burn medicine to accelerate repair and recovery.Tune in to hear how Giovanna McCarthy is bridging medicine, artistry, and innovation — redefining modern aesthetics through education, collaboration, and true cellular regeneration.Learn more about PDO Max on their website and social media!CHAPTERS:0:02 – Introduction & Guest Welcome0:44 – Giovanna’s Early Inspiration & European Roots1:45 – The Birth of Medical Aesthetics in the U.S.3:47 – Evolution of Skin & Surgery Synergy7:15 – The Role of Estheticians in Surgical Outcomes7:20 – Understanding PDO Threads & Industry Misconceptions10:11 – The Art and Precision of Thread Technique14:27 – Structural Science: Ligaments, Fat Pads & Lift Mechanics17:23 – Cellular Regeneration & Collagen Stimulation18:58 – Advancing Skin Quality: PDO Glow, LúmEnvy & PDRN InnovationPlease fill out this survey to give us feedback on the show!Don’t forget to subscribe to Skin Anarchy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred platform.Reach out to us through email with any questions.Sign up for our newsletter!Shop all our episodes and products mentioned through our ShopMy Shelf!*This is a paid collaboration* Hosted on Acast.

• The Pharmacology of Wellness: Dr. Stephanie Redmond on the Future of Supplements

  In this episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with Dr. Stephanie Redmond, PharmD, PhD, and founder of Dr. Stephanie’s, to explore how pharmacology is transforming the world of supplements and functional medicine. With dual expertise in endocrinology and pharmacotherapy, Dr. Redmond offers a rare perspective on how medications, nutrients, and hormones intersect — and how precision-based formulation is reshaping metabolic health.After years in clinical practice, Dr. Redmond noticed a glaring gap: most supplements on the market are underdosed, underperforming, and poorly understood. Her approach flips the script — using clinically validated, therapeutic dosesof ingredients designed for real efficacy and safety. “It’s not about marketing,” she explains. “It’s about measurable results.”The conversation dives deep into her breakthrough innovations, including Purify Colostrum, developed using AI-assisted filtration to isolate bioactive glycoproteins compatible with the human body — delivering seven times more anti-inflammatory power than standard colostrum. She also shares insights on her GLP-1 support formulations, designed to complement popular medications like Ozempic by addressing nutrient depletion, digestion, and hormonal balance.Together, Dr. Ekta and Dr. Redmond unpack what ethical, evidence-based supplementation truly looks like — where pharmacology meets function, and science replaces hype.Tune in to hear how Dr. Stephanie Redmond is redefining modern supplementation and why, in today’s world, foundational nutrition is no longer optional — it’s essential.Learn more about Dr. Stephanie's on their website and social media!CHAPTERS:0:02 – Introduction & Guest Welcome1:01 – Dr. Redmond’s Path from Pharmacy to Endocrinology2:18 – Bridging Medicine, Supplements & Pharmacology4:43 – The Role of Pharmacists in Holistic Care7:09 – The Gap in Supplement Education & Dosing8:58 – Colostrum: Nature’s “First Milk” Explained11:05 – Human vs. Bovine Colostrum & Compatibility14:44 – Postpartum, Perimenopause & Hormonal Health19:01 – GLP-1 Support Supplements & Metabolic Health27:27 – The Future of Foundational Wellness & Supplement TestingPlease fill out this survey to give us feedback on the show!Don’t forget to subscribe to Skin Anarchy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred platform.Reach out to us through email with any questions.Sign up for our newsletter!Shop all our episodes and products mentioned through our ShopMy Shelf!*This is a paid collaboration* Hosted on Acast.
