Feeling overwhelmed by today’s beauty and wellness trends? In this episode of Skin Talks, Beate and Natascha are joined by special guest Raquel Merlini, a registered nurse, IFBB pro bodybuilder, and medical-spa owner, to cut through the noise. From Ozempic and other GLP-1 drugs to protein myths, body-image pressure, and the latest non-surgical treatments, they cover it all. What you’ll learn: • GLP-1 medications (Ozempic, Wegovy) – how they work, pros, cons, and long-term questions • The connection between weight loss drugs, muscle mass, and skin laxity • Why strength training and protein are crucial for women (and how to budget for clean eating) • Emotional eating, body-image trauma, and building a healthy relationship with food • Sculptra vs. dermal fillers, when to choose collagen stimulators and when to opt for instant volume • PDO threads – the red flags, costs, and realistic outcomes • CO₂ resurfacing vs. Fotona and how exosomes can speed healing • Tips for finding an ethical, experienced aesthetic provider and managing realistic expectations Connect With Us Hosts: Beate → https://www.instagram.com/beatevonhuene/ Natascha → https://www.instagram.com/nataschaschillinger/ Guest: Raquel Merlini → https://www.instagram.com/rskinadmission/ Website & Shop: 🌐 https://bskinenvie.ca/ Stay Connected New episodes every Wednesday 📱 Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/skintalkspod/
