  • Under-Eye Bags, Dark Circles & Puffiness: What Actually Works, According to a Dermatologist

    Under-Eye Bags, Dark Circles & Puffiness: What Actually Works, According to a Dermatologist
    Apr 4 2026
    Think you know what's causing your under-eye bags? You might be wrong — and that's exactly why nothing you've tried has worked. In this solo episode, Dr. Mary Alice Mina breaks down the four distinct types of under-eye concerns: puffiness, fat pad herniation, volume loss/hollowing, and dark circles from pigment or vascularity. She explains how to identify which type you're dealing with, because the biggest mistake most people make is treating the wrong problem. Dr. Mina walks through exactly what works for each type — from caffeine eye products and cold therapy for puffiness, to lower blepharoplasty for true fat pad herniation, to tear trough filler and biostimulants for hollowing, to vascular lasers and hydroquinone for dark circles. She also covers what to avoid, including why Botox around the eyes can backfire for puffiness sufferers and why filler can make fat pad herniation worse. Whether you've been pouring money into eye creams that aren't doing anything or you're considering an in-office procedure, this episode gives you the clear, evidence-based roadmap you've been looking for.

  • NAD⁺ Skincare Is Trending— Is it the Real Deal or Just Hype?

    NAD⁺ Skincare Is Trending— Is it the Real Deal or Just Hype?
    Mar 28 2026
    NAD is having a major moment — from IV drips and supplements to wellness clinics and now skincare. But is the science real, or is it just the next CBD? In this episode, Dr. Mary Alice Mina sits down with Melisse Shaban, CEO of Aramore and veteran beauty executive (Revlon, Aveda, The Beauty Shop), to break down exactly what NAD is, why your skin cells need it, and whether the new wave of NAD skincare products is worth your money. They dig into the cellular biology of aging skin, why most moisturizers are just sitting on the surface, and what it actually takes for an ingredient to penetrate to the basal layer where the real work happens. Melisse also shares how Harvard and MIT research led to Aramore's formulation, how to spot faux players in the NAD skincare space, and why she believes NAD precursors, retinol, and sunscreen are the only three non-negotiables in any skincare routine. The conversation takes a fascinating turn into the future of beauty — from pharma's growing role in skincare to GLP-1s, inflammation management, and what's really next for aging women. Plus: a candid, unexpected conversation about death, dignity, and the industry no one is building yet.

    GLP-1 Side Effects No One Talks About. Hair Loss, Skin Changes, and What To Do
    Mar 21 2026

    If you are using a GLP-1 medication and noticing hair shedding, brittle nails, or dull, dry skin, your body is signaling a nutrient gap. In this episode, Dr. Mary Alice Mina breaks down what is really happening beneath the surface and why these changes often appear before lab results do. She explains how appetite suppression can lead to low protein, vitamin deficiencies, and dehydration, all of which directly impact your skin, hair, and nails.

    You will learn the key deficiencies to watch for, including B12, iron, folate, and vitamin D, and the exact signs your body shows when levels drop. Dr. Mina also explains why protein intake, fiber, and hydration are critical while on GLP-1 medications, especially for preventing hair loss, muscle loss, and skin laxity.

    This episode gives you a clear, practical framework to protect your results, support your body, and avoid the most common mistakes people make while using GLP-1s.
