  • DOCTOR REACTS: Did Nicole Kidman's Fillers Go TOO Far? [Scarpetta] | EP 94
    Apr 8 2026

    Have you ever watched a celebrity on screen and thought, "Something looks off but I can't figure out what"?

    Dr. Kate Dee and her colleague Margaret Sherman were watching the hit Netflix series Scarpetta when they noticed something about Nicole Kidman's face that stopped them cold.

    What started as a casual observation turned into a conversation that every woman considering injectables needs to hear. Nicole Kidman and Jamie Lee Curtis play sisters on screen. One is nine years older, but one looks it, but the other doesn't, and the reason why is more complicated than you'd expect.

    Dr. Dee has been studying both faces and what she found reveals something the med spa industry rarely talks about out loud.

    And there's also a specific moment in the show where the contrast between these two women becomes impossible to ignore, and once Dr. Dee points it out, you won't be able to unsee it.

    If you've ever sat in a med spa chair and wondered how much is too much, this episode answers that question in a way nothing else has.

    Press play and learn what procedures Dr. Kate Dee has done on her own face,.

  • The New Ozempic Pill — Is It Actually Ready for Primetime? | Dr. Randi Lindstrom | EP 93
    Apr 1 2026

    A daily Ozempic pill instead of a weekly injection, BUT what happens when you stop?

    The new oral GLP-1 just launched, and the early numbers on who's actually taking it tell a story. There are real reasons your doctor might steer you away from it, and they go deeper than needle avoidance.

    Dr. Kate Dee sits down with GLP-1 prescriber Dr. Randi Lindstrom to get into the details nobody is spelling out clearly. And then there's the question keeping a lot of women up at night: what actually happens when you stop?

    A brand new study just gave us the closest thing to a real answer, and the results are more complicated than anyone wants to admit.

    Chapters:
    00:01:49 - The Oral Pill’s Absorption Problem
    00:04:05 - The Rule That Makes It Hard to Use
    00:05:24 - The Conflict Most Women Won’t Expect
    00:06:45 - Who This Is Actually For
    00:07:00 - The Tradeoff No One Mentions
    00:08:00 - The Price Isn’t What You Think
    00:10:30 - Why Patients Aren’t Switching
    00:11:30 - What Happens When You Stop
    00:13:30 - Why Some Keep the Weight Off and Others Don’t
    00:18:30 - The Cancer Signal No One Expected
    00:22:30 - The Fertility Surprise
    00:25:00 - The Risk Doctors Are Watching
    00:28:30 - The Mistake That Makes It All Worse

    There's also a cancer connection buried in the latest research that deserves far more attention than it's getting. Thirteen types. And it cuts in a direction most people aren't expecting.

    Plus, if you're a woman in your 30s or 40s who assumed pregnancy wasn't on the table, this episode has information that could genuinely change your plans. The fertility piece alone is worth the listen.

    Press play and learn what you actually need to know before your next dose, your next prescription, or your next decision.

  • Ozempic Face: Why It Happens and How to Fix It [Doctor Explains] | EP 92
    Mar 25 2026

    You finally lost the weight. So why do you look older?

    The emotional side of dramatic weight loss is real and complicated. You spent months, maybe years, working toward a goal. You hit it and then you're blindsided by something you never anticipated.

    Dr. Kate Dee hears this every single week in her consultation room. Patients who worked incredibly hard, who did everything right, and now they're sitting across from her trying to figure out why their face doesn't match how they feel inside. Some of them have cried and not because they're vain.

    She pulls no punches here and breaks down the real clinical options, the ones that actually restore what rapid weight loss takes away. Dr. Dee also names the treatments that sound good on Instagram but deliver nothing, and there are more of those than you'd think.

    If you're on a GLP-1 right now, thinking about starting one, or you've already noticed changes in your face, this episode is for you.

    Press play and learn why getting the timing wrong and you could flush thousands of dollars down the drain.
