EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS WITH DR. YOUN:

* [00:09:54] To Cut is not always To Cure. Traditional Western medicine believes that cutting or drugging is the way to fix a problem. But after a harrowing surgery experience, Dr. Youn had to find alternative solutions: can a surgeon also be holistic?
* [00:17:01] Listen to a story from Playing God – Dr. Youn’s new book. Dr. Youn tells his own “pinnacle moment” story of every surgeon’s worst nightmare: not being able to do anything but wait, and pray for the best.
* [00:27:00] Get some insider tips on surgeons and plastic surgery: Learn why you shouldn’t go to university hospitals in July, what questions you should ask your doctor before signing the dotted line, and the optimal time to schedule your surgery.
* [00:37:38] What’s on Dr. Youn’s Holistic Beauty Blacklist? Listen to his download on breast implants and lymphoma, injectable fillers (surprise, Botox is not a filler!), and the secret danger of people who do plastic surgery… who aren’t real plastic surgeons.
* [00:59:15] When should you get a facelift? Dr. Youn shares his ultimate answer to that question (and it might surprise you).
* [01:00:26] How can you tell if a doctor is not a real plastic surgeon? Ask the right questions! “How long were you in school? Are you certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery? How long have you been practicing in that hospital? What is your satisfaction rate?”
* [01:08:43] One last question: What about thread lifts? Dr. Youn calls them “a horrible procedure they abandoned 10 years ago… that just don’t work.” But are they coming back to the world of surgery?
