785: Effects on Hormones on the Skin: Navigating Hormonal Changes
Period, Pregnancy, and Menopause - Ever faced the dreaded "period breakout" or wondered why your skin behaves differently during pregnancy or menopause? Our latest podcast dives deep into how hormones pull the strings of your skin's destiny. From the monthly rollercoaster to the miraculous journey of pregnancy and the graceful transition of menopause, we decode the influence of hormones on your skin. Join us as we uncover the signs, effects, and skincare tips to keep your skin glowing, no matter the hormonal twist and turn
In this episode of Beauty Bytes, Dr. Kay sits down with transformative business coach and launch strategist Epic Aprille Franks to decode the future of content marketing. With a background in managing eight-figure portfolios and helping thousands of entrepreneurs build profitable brands, Aprille explains why the digital landscape has shifted from "social media" to "interest-based media," requiring a fresh approach to how we connect with audiences . Together, they dismantle the overwhelm of daily posting by introducing the "Batch 14-27" protocol and exploring the power of "Cred Clips"—short B-roll videos that build authority without requiring you to speak on camera .
The conversation dives deep into the technical side of modern marketing, revealing why hashtags are dead on Instagram and how to pivot toward an SEO-driven strategy using keywords and AI tools like Claude, Hedra, and Kling . Beyond the tactics, Epic Aprille shares profound insights on the entrepreneur's mindset, advocating for intentional abundance and the concept that women must "rest to work" rather than treating rest as a reward. Aprille also shares details about her upcoming event, Marketing School Live, taking place in Atlanta this April; you can follow her journey and get updates on Instagram at @EpicAprille .

782: Resilience, Business Mastery, and the Future of Aesthetic Longevity with Dr. Felix Bertram
Join me for an inspiring conversation with Dr. Felix Bertram, a Swiss dermatologist and entrepreneur who turned a near-fatal motorcycle accident at age 19 into a driving force for resilience and success . We dive deep into the business of aesthetics, where Felix explains why he built the Skinmed brand rather than a personal clinic to allow for true scaling and why practices must avoid the "squeezed middle"—either staying small and profitable or scaling large enough for C-level infrastructure . We also explore the shifting trends in Europe, specifically "filler fatigue" and the pivot toward biostimulation, and discuss the gender divide in longevity, where men prioritize performance while women focus on hormonal health .
Guest Information: Dr. Felix Bertram is the founder of Skinmed and a serial entrepreneur. You can find him on Instagram @drfelixbertram and learn more about his clinics at skinmed.ch.
