In the first five years after menopause, women lose up to 30% of their skin's collagen. Not gradually over decades, in five years.

I sat down with Dr. Anthony Youn, America's Holistic Plastic Surgeon® and bestselling author of Younger for Life, to explore the powerful connection between your skin and your overall wellbeing. This conversation will completely change the way you think about aging, beauty, and the remarkable ability your body has to renew itself from the inside out.

What we cover:
- How Dr. Youn's philosophy of Autojuvenation® works to harness your body's natural regenerative abilities before turning to any clinical intervention.
- Why the skin is the body's largest organ and functions as a 'magic mirror' that reflects your internal health, inflammation, and biological age.
- What the five root causes of aging mean for midlife women.
- How women lose up to 30% of their skin's collagen thickness in just the first five years after menopause, and what you can do right now to fight back.
- What a simple three-step morning skincare routine looks like, and why a quality vitamin C serum and sunscreen are the two non-negotiables for every woman over 40.
