When Perfection Becomes a Problem with Kayla Nicole

September 23, 2026 · 51 min

Show notes

This week I'm joined by Kayla Nicole–media personality and sports journalist–to talk about how her wellness approach has changed. We get into her lifelong struggle with eczema and acne, and why she wants to dissolve her lip filler. We discuss what longevity means to her and dig into the dangers of black-market GLP-1s and peptides. She opens up about the beauty standards she was under while doing pageants and being a wellness influencer–and why she’s stepped back from tracking every calorie. I also give her advice on her skincare routine, why I think vibration plates aren’t worth it, the benefits of red light, and the best lab tests to take for your health!
