    Should we all be microdosing GLP-1?

    Robin

    Just when we thought the obsession had died down, GLP-1s are in the news again. 98 million Americans have prediabetes (and 80% don’t know it). No wonder everyone is talking about microdosing GLP-1 and a recent Wall Street Journal article is calling for putting GLP-1s in the water.  🤓 What to…

    Plus, the reason I stopped getting botox and the best thing you can do for your metabolic health. Did you know that you have a signature breathing pattern akin to your fingerprint that can be used to identify you with 96.8% accuracy? We are how we breathe, according to a…

    Plus, a new reason to try a keto diet and my favorite at-home HIIT workouts. It’s summer and it feels like everyone is installing a cold plunge in their backyard or basement spa. As someone who is obsessed with my in-home sauna but despises being cold, I usually feel a…

    Last week I co-hosted an event for New York’s YPO Women on female longevity at the Parsley Health center in NYC along with two brilliant speakers: nutrition expert JJ Virgin, and Melanie Goldey, CEO of Tally Health.  It was exactly the kind of event I live for: a room full…

    Is “fibermaxxing” the key to slowing aging?

    Robin

    I don’t normally advise taking medical advice from TikTok but sometimes the algorithm gets it right and boosts a tip with actual evidence behind it—like “fibermaxxing.”  Don’t let the name turn you off. Fiber is a macronutrient with extensive research behind it, something that makes it unique in the grand…

    I have a new mantra: healthier than ever.  At age 43, I refuse to believe that my healthiest years are behind me, because I know they don’t have to be. My goal is to make my next 10 years even healthier and more vital than my last decade. Because as…

  • My personal supplement stack.

    Robin

    I get asked so often from people if the supplements they are taking are legit, I feel like I should set up a roadside stand with a sign that says: “Will evaluate your supplement stack for $10K.” Always good to have a backup plan, right? 😉  I also get asked…

  • Are plant-based meats just ultraprocessed food in disguise?

    •

    Robin

    Beware the health halo.  Often, friends and patients are shocked when they find out a food billed as healthy contains sneaky harmful additives, or isn’t actually all that nutritive. In this vein, I get a lot of questions about plant-based meats. Are they good for you or are they just…

  • My cervical cancer scare

    •

    Robin

    Does the cure for UTIs, HPV, and BV lie in the microbiome? In my 20s, a routine pap test diagnosed abnormal cells. That led to a biopsy of my cervix called a colposcopy, which revealed I had CIN3, or “severely abnormal” precancerous cells. I was lucky to catch it while…

  • Omega-3 deficiency is as harmful as smoking

    •

    Robin

    In all the conversations I have with friends, patients, and colleagues about longevity, one nutrient continually comes up: omega-3s.  Omega-3s are polyunsaturated fatty-acids (PUFAs) which are essential for human health. They are a vital part of every cell in your body, acting as a structural component in cell membranes and…
