Are we ready to embrace aesthetics as part of a holistic wellness journey rather than just vanity?

Mike Glaicar, CEO of NewBeauty, joins Give Good Face with Dr. Anthony Rossi for a dynamic conversation at the intersection of aesthetics and wellness. Together, they unpack the most pressing and misunderstood trends in beauty today—from GLP-1 medications like Ozempic to the resurgence of hormone therapy and the growing demand for natural, confidence-boosting results.

They discuss the risks of muscle loss from GLP-1s and the need for integrated fitness and nutrition, the myth-busting around hormone replacement therapy for menopause, and the emotional toll of untreated symptoms like hair loss, mood changes, and weight gain. They also highlight the shift from enhancement to restoration: patients no longer want exaggerated features—they want to look like the best version of themselves.

Beyond treatments, they dive into the emotional and psychological aspects of aesthetics—why people are craving not just visible improvements, but better experiences. From bedside manner and patient trust to the dangers of TikTok misinformation and the lasting damage of that infamous 2002 hormone study, this episode tackles it all.
