A Nutritionist Weighs in on Dropping Pounds with Jodi Bjurman
We’ve been hearing and seeing the results of those “skinny shots” that help overweight America look and feel better. But they're expensive, and they don’t always work. What else helps?

Lips to Love
If the people at a medspa all have lips like those gigantic edible wax ones, would you walk out? Lip filler doesn’t have to look like that. Enhancing lips requires an artistic eye, the mastery of multiple techniques, and a good knowledge of the anatomy. The viscosity of the filler should match its purpose: lip lines? Lip border? Lip volume? The best result may come from filler plus a toxin (like Botox or Daxxify) plus laser resurfacing. Why do so many people have overfilled lips? And what about men? This episode answers these questions and more.
