Ep. 51: Surviving To Healing with Breast Implant Illness Advocate Dr. Kayte Susse
2026/10/21
This week, Alex sits down with author, Doctor of Chiropractic, and breast implant illness advocate Dr. Kayte Susse. In her book “Beyond Beauty”, Dr. Kayte uses the Adverse Childhood Experiences Index to help trace her journey from a traumatic childhood to chronic illness, then to finally healing. Having survived a very difficult childhood and learning to depend entirely on herself from a young age, she then became completely ill and bedridden in her twenties 9 months after getting breast implants. When not a single doctor could tell her why, she decided to become the medical advocate she herself needed, by going to chiropractic school, diving deep into the research, and uncovering her own breast implant illness. In this interview as well as in her book, she explores the idea that in order to heal as an adult, you must shed the identity and coping mechanisms you once relied on as a child to survive. This episode is for anyone on a healing journey!  Connect with Dr. Kayte Susse: @drkayte Pre-Order “Beyond Beauty” Follow "Glow Up And Speak Out" on IG: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@glowupandspeakout⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Shop Alex’s faves in beauty and wellness on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ShopMy⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Ep. 50: GLP-1s, IV Therapy, & Peptides: The Future of Preventative Health with Bracha Banayan
2026/09/02
This week, Alex sits down with Bracha Banayan, a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner who started her career in emergency room medicine, watched patients waiting all night just to get fluids, and decided there had to be a better way, leading her to found IV Drips, a premium mobile IV therapy company. She is also the founder of Hello Dose, a GLP-1-prescribing service now operating across 22 states! In this episode, Bracha covers the actual health benefits of IV therapy, the differences between semaglutide, tirzepatide, and the new (and not even officially out yet!) retatrutide, and how these medications are changing obesity medicine and diabetes management. She also explains the science behind the new trend of “peptide stacking”, what she’s learning about it, and her best advice on how to experiment with peptides responsibly!  Follow Bracha: @bracha_banayan Work with Hello Dose: hellodose.com Book an IV Drip: IVdrips.com Follow "Glow Up And Speak Out" on IG: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@glowupandspeakout⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Shop Alex’s faves in beauty and wellness on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ShopMy⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Ep. 49: The Test Your Doctor Isn’t Ordering with Natalie Samson
2026/08/26
What if your DNA could tell your doctor exactly how to treat you from the get-go, before you spent years being dismissed, misdiagnosed, or prescribed the wrong medication? This week Alex is sitting down with genetic counselor and founder of Golden Genetics, Natalie Samson, to cover everything from diagnostic cancer-screening panels to functional root-cause genetic testing that can reveal your predisposition to insulin resistance, inflammation, celiac disease, obesity, and mood disorders. We also dive into pharmacogenomics, a groundbreaking field that reveals how your body will actually respond to medications including SSRIs! Alex and Natalie also explore the genetic components behind conditions that disproportionately affect women and are notoriously difficult to diagnose like PCOS, endometriosis, gut issues, and chronic inflammation. Natalie even explains fertility testing, genetic carrier screening, and the emerging science of epigenetics. Women MUST be their own advocates within our healthcare system, and this episode will give you the info to do just that! Get your 4P score!

Ep. 48: Dirty Shower Water, A Cosmetic Procedure Gone Wrong, & The Skincare Line Born From It All with Sara Douglas
2026/07/08
What if the water coming out of your shower was secretly sabotaging your skin and hair? This week Alex is sitting down with Sara Douglas, whose curiosity about "hard, dirty water” led her to develop the Vitaclean filtered showerhead. Sara also shares her true, personal story of how a routine cosmetic procedure in 2024 left her with severe inflammation and bruised, discolored undereyes for months. Sara explains what every woman should know before deciding to go through with injectables, how she healed her skin using science-backed ingredients like PDRN and peptides, and how out of that painful experience her skincare line Cellure was born!

Ep. 46: The Truth About Doulas (And Why Every Woman Should Have One) with Erica Manto Paulson
2026/04/29
What does a doula actually do, and why does it matter so much? In this episode, Alex sits down with Erica Manto Paulson, certified Doula + the Founder and CEO of Nurture, to break down the real role of a doula and how it’s completely different from a midwife or an OB. With nearly two decades of experience supporting over 1,000 births, Erica shares the research-backed truth: having a doula can significantly improve outcomes in any kind of birth. They also get a little deeper into the power of birth stories, why your experience stays with you for life, and how sharing it can impact generations of women to come. This is a conversation about support, agency, and why no woman should go through birth feeling alone!

On this episode, Alex is joined by intuitive astrologer, podcast host, and “In the Cosmic Zone” author Madi Murphy for a conversation that puts a modern twist on ancient wisdom and spirituality. Alex and Madi bond over being NYC boy moms and dive into the full transformation that is motherhood. Madi discusses shedding old identities to make space for new ones, allowing your creativity to evolve as a mom, and how astrology isn’t about predicting your future but about helping you understand who you are at your core. Madi also shares her grounded, nuanced take on manifesting, why turning inward beats opinion shopping every time, and how to trust your own inner magic in this chaotic life!  Connect With Madi: @iammadimurphy Order “In The Cosmic Zone” Listen to the CosmicRX Radio Podcast Follow "Glow Up And Speak Out" on IG: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@glowupandspeakout⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Shop Alex’s faves in beauty and wellness on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ShopMy⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Ep. 39: Abortion Care Is Healthcare with Danika Severino Wynn, VP of Care & Access at Planned Parenthood
2025/12/10
This week, Alex sits down with the incredible Danika Severino Wynn, a certified nurse midwife and the VP of Care & Access at Planned Parenthood, to pull back the curtain on everything this organization really does for women’s health. Alex and Danika cover the wide range of care Planned Parenthood provides far beyond abortion, from birth control to life-saving cancer screenings, and how they show up for patients regardless of their insurance status. Danika also breaks down the biggest myths around medication abortion, explains why abortion is healthcare and deeply connected to so many aspects of hormonal and reproductive wellness, and shares how Planned Parenthood is working to keep care accessible in an increasingly challenging landscape. It’s an eye-opening, empowering conversation with someone who’s truly shaping the future of sexual and reproductive health!
