My Explant, Capsulectomy, and Lift! Meet My Surgeon Dr. Ricky Brown

Midlife Conversations with Natalie Jill on December 26, 2023

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 and Stress in Midlife with Keri Glassman

Midlife Conversations with Natalie Jill on December 19, 2023

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. 

Bye Bye Breast Implants

Midlife Conversations with Natalie Jill on December 13, 2023

It’s time to go back to factory settings 😉 Dear TATAs, It’s time to say goodbye. You were my “confidence” booster at age 19. I hated being flat & you swooped in as the fix. It wouldn’t be until 33 years later that I would realize how bad of a decision this was for me. Although you’ll be shown off and worn proudly, you will need 6 more surgeries, you will be super expensive, and you have many complications…
