The med spa industry has changed dramatically—but has the medicine kept up?

Dr. Thomas Romo and Dr. Alexandra Filingeri sit down with Dr. Todd to examine the rapid growth of medical aesthetics and the expanding world of med spas, longevity treatments, GLP-1 medications, peptides, hormone therapy, and other increasingly popular treatments.

Dr. Todd shares his perspective after decades in medical aesthetics, including his experience using Botox before it became a cosmetic treatment. Together, they discuss what can happen when treatments expand faster than the training, evidence, and medical oversight needed to provide them safely.

The conversation also explores GLP-1 medications and the importance of proper nutritional guidance, rapid weight loss and changes in body composition, social media’s influence on cosmetic trends, unregulated peptides, complications in the med spa industry, and why the person providing a treatment can matter just as much as the treatment itself.

They also take a closer look at younger people turning to hormones and performance-enhancing substances, the rise of “looksmaxxing,” and the growing concern around people using social media to learn how to perform medical procedures themselves.

As aesthetics and longevity continue to grow, this conversation is a reminder to ask important questions: Who is providing your treatment? What is their training? What evidence supports it? And who is overseeing your care?

Menopause is about much more than hot flashes.

Dr. Thomas Romo and Dr. Alexandria Filingeri are joined by Dr. Adrienne Mandelberger, gynecologic surgeon, menopause specialist, and founder and CEO of Balance Medical New York, for a deeper conversation about perimenopause, menopause, and the changing approach to women’s health.

Dr. Mandelberger breaks down menopausal hormone therapy, the role estrogen plays in brain function and mental health, metabolic and body composition changes, and why menopause treatment needs to be individualized. They also discuss GLP-1 medications, testosterone, bloodwork, nutrition, exercise, and how women can find a provider who is truly experienced in menopause care.

Plus, Dr. Mandelberger gives her quick take on some of today’s biggest menopause trends, including intermittent fasting, creatine, weight training, compounded hormones, weighted vests, and starting hormone therapy later in life.

Dr. Thomas Romo and Dr. Alexandria Filingeri are back with a new kind of conversation on We Got Your Number, breaking down the health, wellness, nutrition, and cosmetic trends shaping today’s culture.

In this episode, they discuss the pressure behind the “bridal glow-up,” why more cosmetic work isn’t always better, the growing popularity of IV infusions and peptides, and the risks of taking health advice straight from social media. They also explore celebrity influence on body image and plastic surgery, the frozen yogurt comeback, artificial sweeteners and gut health, and some unexpected effects of GLP-1 medications.

With trends changing constantly, Dr. Romo and Dr. Filingeri focus on what matters most: making informed decisions, prioritizing your health, and recognizing when “less is more.”
