Getting Curious with Jonathan Van Ness

We’re going under the metaphorical scalpel today on Pretty Curious with Dr. Anthony Youn! We’re tackling everything from upper and lower eyelid surgery (or upper blephs & lower blephs as we refer to them in this episode) to the importance of diet and giving the body the opportunity to “autojuvenate” before going under the knife for substantial plastic surgery. We’re also talking about regional plastic surgery trends, intermittent fasting, and Dr. Youn’s newest book, Younger For Life.

Dr. Anthony Youn is a renowned plastic surgeon and expert in holistic approaches to beauty, emphasizing his motto "Autojuvenate Before You Operate." He advocates for achieving youthful looks through a combination of non-surgical methods. Dr. Youn has appeared on major TV shows like Live with Kelly and Mark, The Rachael Ray Show, and The Doctors, and has authored bestselling books, including Younger For Life, which offers holistic tips for looking younger without surgery. He hosts The Doctor Youn Show, a very popular health and beauty podcast, and has been named one of the top plastic surgeons in the U.S. by various prestigious publications. Dr. Youn graduated with honors from Kalamazoo College and Michigan State University, completing his plastic surgery training in Michigan and Beverly Hills before returning to his home state. Dr Youn currently resides in Motor City, USA! His new book, Younger For Life, is out now!

PRETTY CURIOUS | 5 Haircare Hacks You Need To Know For The New Year

GLP-1 medications are everywhere—on your FYPs, on the evening news, and, as JVN shares, in your own weekly routine. But what do these drugs really do? In this no-holds-barred conversation with Dr. Terry Simpson, a surgeon and culinary medicine expert, JVN dives deep into the science, the side effects, and the cultural firestorm surrounding GLP-1s like Ozempic. Are they the future of weight loss and metabolic health—or just another wellness trend?

Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions about eating disorders, body image, and weight loss medications. Please listen with care.

Dr. Terry Simpson, MD is a physician, research scientist, weight loss surgeon, cook, author, dad, and a proponent for healthy eating. "And not in that order.” He received his undergraduate, graduate, and medical degrees from The University of Chicago.

When he became a fellow of the American College of Surgeons he was the 22nd Native American to become a surgeon and the first Alaska Native to become one. He was the first surgeon to be certified in the field of Culinary Medicine - which means not only is he up to date with the latest nutrition research but he can cook too! When not in clinic, you’ll find him on social media with more than 1 million followers, battling medical misinformation, inspiring healthy habits.
