Midlife Conversations with Natalie Jill
Changing Conversations Around Age, Potential, and Possibility for Women in MIDLIFE
I met Dr. Sabrina Solt when I first moved to Scottsdale and in addition to her looking airbrushed in real life (literally, her skin is FLAWLESS), we bonded over scars from breast explant surgery! Her scars were basically non-existent looking and I HAD to know what her secret was. Come to learn, she is a naturopathic doctor who is also a genius with needles – from peptides to regenerative therapies, to prolotherapy, skin treatments and more!
Certain conditions of course can only be treated surgically. However, with technology, nutrition, and supplements, there is SO MUCH we can do short of surgery to help us feel and look good on the inside and outside! I happen to be the age where tanning beds were THE thing in our teens and twenties and I feel like the skin changes that are coming with aging are some of the biggest changes I see! But the GOOD NEWS is that Dr. Youn said this is the easiest and least invasive part of aging we have control over and when addressed, you can see changes in as little as three weeks!
If you look at the hierarchy of needs, connection and belonging is just above food, shelter, and clothing. Lindsey is a COMMUNITY powerhouse! She’s got a knack for pulling powerhouse women together and I think this is SO important for women in general, but definitely in midlife. I hear time and time again about how challenging it is for women to find community and connect with new friends. It can be so easy to fall into a victim cycle and play in your comfort zone.
Dr. Ricky Brown is a highly skilled plastic surgeon with over a decade of experience in his field. As an expert plastic and reconstructive surgeon, Dr. Brown is dedicated to helping others feel confident in their own skin.
There were a number of reasons why I chose Dr. Ricky Brown – he cared SO much, was super thorough and patient with me, this was his specialty, he had MY best interests in mind and at heart, I felt seen, heard, and understood – and more. Plus, maybe MOST importantly, he was the ONLY surgeon I consulted with who didn’t tell me I HAD to replace my implants…that actually, if I thought I ever might remove them, why not now?
Cortisol often gets a really bad wrap as just the bad belly fat stress hormone. BUT…cortisol is NOT a bad thing. Cortisol is actually a good thing…when it’s controlled properly and is doing the job it is supposed to do. When you’re producing the right amount at the right times, cortisol can also improve our energy, acts as an anti-inflammatory, helps with memory, helps to manage blood sugar and blood pressure, helps decrease pain, and increases motivation. It also helps with our immune system and brain function.
