#166: Dr. Steven Cyr - Spine & Cosmetic Surgeon on BBLs, Chiropractors, & Tech Neck

What if the person most qualified to fix your back and sculpt your body was the same doctor?

Dr. Steven Cyr joins me for a conversation about being board certified in both spine surgery and cosmetic surgery. Trained at the Mayo Clinic, former chief of spine surgery for the US military and consultant to the Pentagon, Dr. Cyr brings 22 years of surgical experience to a conversation that covers everything from herniated discs and tech neck to facelifts, body sculpting, and why your gym routine might be quietly destroying your spine. He shares what exercises risk your back, why Kris Jenner is unhappy with her facelift, what social media has done to trends in plastic surgery, why BBLs are so dangerous, deep plane vs SMAS facelift and why all facelifts eventually sag, when surgery is truly necessary vs when conservative treatment still has room to work, the real risk of chiropractic neck manipulation that most people don't know about, what peptides and regenerative medicine could mean for the future of spine care, and much more.

#160: Julia Austin - What Childfree Women Want You to Know

What happens when you pushback against the pressure to become a mom?
Comedian Julia Austin is back to share why her childfree content blew up on social media, what the DMs from her followers actually reveal about how women really feel about motherhood when nobody's watching, what stats are quietly reshaping an entire generation, what that actually says about the pressure, the guilt, and the very loaded conversation around a woman's right to be childfree, why some people are uncomfortable about adoption, what gives a parent grit, why the parents who get the most upset by her content are often the ones who have the most unresolved feelings about their own choice, why loving your kids and having complicated feelings about parenthood are not mutually exclusive, and much more. 

Plus we get into financial transparency, not making desperate decisions when you're scared, giving the things you can't control to God, and why the algorithm already knows more about how you feel about having kids than you're willing to admit.
