I have two guests on today who I am super excited to introduce to you and to each other. Nathalie Niddam and Alice Hart Davis. Both are previous guests to the Hack My Age podcast (scroll down for links to those podcast episodes).

I decided to gather these powerhouses in the biohacking and beauty industry to discuss the conundrum of beauty standards, medical aesthetics and try to figure out how to navigate our feelings, emotions and desires about beauty while going through the menopause transition and beyond as we hit our 60s and 70s.

I am in my 50s, Nathalie is approaching 60 and Alice is now in her 60s. Alice is a former specialist aesthetics journalist with 20 years of reporting on the beauty and the medical aesthetics industry. She is also the founder of the Tweakments Guide, which is a content and e-commerce business focused on aesthetic treatments and skincare. So she knows just about everything there is to know that is out there on the market.

Nathalie is not only expert in peptides, but also a Certified Holistic Nutritionist, an Apeiron Academy Epigenetic Coach and a member of the first graduating class of the Bulletproof Training Institute. Nathalie also has one of the best podcasts on the planet. It's now rated in the top 100 podcasts in the US and Canada in her category. And there are millions of podcasts out there now, so it's quite the achievement.

So a few weeks ago, Nathalie and I were talking about the trends of big lips, fillers and what people are getting into. We had so many interesting things to say, I thought the topic deserved a podcast to get information out to you. But I also wanted to hear from a woman with experience and wisdom to give us some guidance on how to navigate this actually pretty difficult transition in life still looking and feeling our best on any budget. And so Alice came to mind. She is really an authority in this area and her mission is to educate, be authentic and bring transparency into the world of aesthetics.
