Ep. 18: Botox, Fillers & Ageing: An Aesthetic GP's Honest Take

Welcome back to another episode of the Her Health™ Podcast by Phytoceutics – a space for women to feel informed, empowered, and supported through science-led conversations on modern health and well-being. In this episode, Phytoceutics® CEO and Integrative Nutrition Health Coach Laura Johnston sits down with Dr Mignon Laub, an aesthetic GP, to cut through the noise of the aesthetic medicine industry and give women an evidence-based, honest framework for ageing well from both the inside and the outside. From how the face changes at every structural layer to when fillers, bio stimulators, and facelifts are actually warranted – and when they're not – this conversation is the practical guide to aesthetic medicine many women may never get from a practitioner.
