Cosmetic Treatments in Young People

I’ve noticed a sharp uptick in the number of teens and young women calling and coming in to the office for consultations and treatments. As a general rule, at YPS we don’t see anyone under 18 for cosmetic procedures. But not all plastic surgeons agree with my policies.

According to the Aesthetic Society, last year nearly 3,000 girls under the age of 18 underwent breast augmentation and over 6,800 girls underwent injections of Botox or fillers. This number is surprising, but even more shocking is that at least one of these girls’ parents had to sign the consent for the invasive procedure!

I believe the major driving force behind young women wanting to see plastic surgeons is social media. The Jenner sisters and other social media influencers are indirectly (and sometimes directly) encouraging these young women to get their lips plumped, their cheeks enhanced, and their (non-existent) wrinkles Botox’d.


Conventional produce can be sprayed with all sorts of toxic pesticides and herbicides which may cling to the surface of the fruit as residues. Some of these, like glyphosate, have been shown to be carcinogenic.

Strawberries have the dubious distinction of being #1 on the Environmental Working Group’s Dirty Dozen list of produce contaminated with the most pesticides. So buy organic strawberries when you can.

If you just can’t afford organic, then still keep eating your colorful fruits and vegetables. Just wash them first (unless they have thick peels like bananas and avocados). Better to eat conventional produce than none at all.

Episode #102 – The Holistic Prescription: How to Prevent and Heal Chronic Disease with Dr. Madiha Saeed– Chronic illness is on the rise throughout the United States. Although we’re living longer, our longevity is artificially supported by prescription medications and invasive procedures. So how can we holistically prevent and heal chronic disease and live longer, healthier lives?

My guest says it all comes down to inflammation. Inflammation is the main trigger that ignites chronic disease, and her Holistic Prescription can calm inflammation, determine the root cause of chronic illness, and heal and prevent it in all ages. The seven factors that she focuses on to achieve this are: digestive health, nutrition, detoxification, stress, sleep, social and spirituality. By focusing on these seven factors, she has changed the lives of thousands of families.
