The Doctor Youn Show

What actually works in anti-aging skincare—and what’s just expensive hype? In this episode, Dr. Anthony Youn is joined by board-certified dermatologist Dr. Emily Levin to break down and ratesome of the most talked-about anti-aging ingredients on the market. From retinoids and niacinamide to ceramides, antioxidants, acids, and hyaluronic acid, they explain what these ingredients really do for your skin, who they’re best for, and where people often get misled. The conversation goes far beyond skincare labels. Dr. Youn and Dr. Levin also unpack buzzy wellness and cosmetic trends—like blood filtration therapies, the controversial “Mar-a-Lago face,” emerging hair-loss drugs, and extreme body contouring with fillers—separating science from social-media spectacle. With a refreshingly honest, patient-first perspective, this episode cuts through the noise to help you make smarter, safer decisions about your skin and your body—without fear-mongering, false promises, or chasing the latest fad. 🔗 Links and Resources: Today's Sponsors: 🚨 Check out BON CHARGE's Red Light Mask to support collagen production and improve your skin!

Regenerative treatments, minimally invasive procedures, and the surprising role of AI in aesthetic practice also get explored.

In this episode, Dr. Anthony Youn pulls back the curtain on one of the most common questions he hears: “Why won’t my belly flatten — no matter what I do?” He breaks down the real reasons behind a stubborn tummy — from everyday bloating and hidden visceral fat to stretched skin and diastasis recti — and helps you figure out which one might be affecting you. You’ll hear simple, practical ways to calm your gut, reduce bloating naturally, and support your body with healthier habits. Dr. Youn also walks through modern non-invasive treatments, plus what to realistically expect from surgical options like liposuction and tummy tucks — including when they do (and don’t) make sense. By the end, you’ll have a clearer picture of what’s going on with your own midsection — and the knowledge to choose the safest, smartest path forward for your body and your goals. 🔗 Links and Resources: 📍Sponsor: Thank you to our sponsor Branch Basics!

In this episode, Dr. Anthony Youn sits down with Dr. Mindy Pelz — bestselling author, women’s health expert, and someone who has lived the menopause journey herself. Dr. Pelz opens up about how menopause completely reframed her life, not as an ending or a decline, but as a powerful transition into greater clarity, confidence, and leadership. She breaks down the science in a way that actually makes sense — from how our brains shift during this stage to why our bodies demand different kinds of movement, sleep habits, and even fasting rhythms. Together, she and Dr. Youn dig into the evolutionary story behind menopause, the neurological upgrades no one talks about, and the practical daily strategies that help women feel strong, energized, and mentally sharp. This conversation is equal parts inspiring and actionable — an invitation to see menopause not as something to survive, but as a chance to step into a new, stronger version of yourself. 🔗 Links and Resources: ➡️ Today's Sponsor: Branch Basics - https://branchbasics.com/dryoun and use coupon code to get 15% and a FREE started pack when you use coupon code DRYOUN Check out Dr. Youn’s skincare products and nutritional supplements -⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠younbeauty.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Download his FREE eGuide: "What to Eat to Look Younger" -⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://discover.younbeauty.com/what-to-eat-to-look-younger-1 Download his FREE eGuide: 10 Things Every Plastic Surgery Patient Must Know: https://discover.younbeauty.com/10-things-1 ⁠⁠⁠YOUN Beauty Retinol Moisturizer⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YOUN Beauty Retinol Eye Cream⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Follow Dr. Youn on Instagram - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@tonyyounmd⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Follow Dr. Youn on YouTube -⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠youtube.com/tonyyounmd⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Follow Dr. Youn on TikTok - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@doctoryoun⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Follow Dr. Youn on Facebook - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@dryoun⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.
