Hallie Gould is GM and editor-in-chief of the online beauty publication Byrdie. She joins the show for a fun and candid deep dive into the beauty and wellness world from both sides of the industry. We get into skincare routines and Hallie’s specific go-to products, how aging, hormones, and breakouts change the way we approach maintenance, and the instant-gratification treatments she actually thinks are worth it. Hallie pulls back the curtain on what really happens behind the scenes at media outlets—how editors vet products they recommend, what celebrity disclosures about surgery mean for readers, and which trends are here to stay. We also talk hair hacks, the crossover of beauty and wellness, and embracing our 40s with confidence—complete with Eva Longoria and Salma Hayek aging-goals inspo. Plus, Hallie shares her experience with treatments like Softwave and PRF, and walks us through her makeup routine for that effortless dewy glow.

Nina Westbrook is a licensed marriage and family therapist, host of Do Tell podcast, and founder of health and wellness platforms Bene and Nebbi. She joins the show for a candid conversation about the realities of relationships including being an introvert married to a public figure and how she’s learned to say no in order to protect her peace. We explore whether a partner should be responsible for your happiness, the difference between “doing the work” in a relationship versus forcing something that isn’t right, and if every challenge is truly fixable—including infidelity. Nina also shares her perspective on the 50/50 debate, how to maintain independence when you’re deeply connected, and what it’s really like to be married to an athlete. This conversation is equal parts practical wisdom and heartfelt honesty—perfect for anyone navigating love, commitment, and personal growth within a partnership.

Explore Nina's new app, Nebbi, a first-of-its-kind, science-backed mental wellness app designed to help individuals and communities build resilience, embrace mindful living, and cultivate a deeper sense of well-being in their everyday lives: https://www.thenebbiway.io/

Dr. Latt Mansor is a researcher and global expert in metabolic health, with a PhD from Oxford in physiology, specializing in nutrition, ketones, and human performance. He joins the show to break down what really drives metabolism, energy, and weight loss. We dive into common myths, the truth about fast vs. slow metabolism, and what to do when you hit a weight loss plateau. Dr. Mansor explains how hormones, stress, and nutrient deficiencies affect fat burning and wellbeing, how carb cycling can work to your advantage, and why ketones may be a powerful tool—not only for metabolism, but also for anxiety, sleep, and sustained energy. We also compare ketones to caffeine and GLP-1s, giving you science-backed insights to cut through the noise and optimize your health.
