My wife, now 70 had this done about 5 years ago. She did fine and really looks great. RED skin is kind of an understatement. Honestly, she looked like she had stood in front of the afterburners on a jet engine. It was 10 days before she was able to put any kind of makeup on. It was well WORTH IT. As a husband, I say go for it! You're already a beautiful woman, but I think you'll be very pleased with the process. BTW, my wife says, "Go for the general, thank her later!" Best of luck and thank you for all you do for us.

I was an audio engineer and video editor for 40 years. I worked on a tv show for 25 years and one of the hosts had that procedure on her face about once every year into her 80s and always looked 20 years younger. You are very beautiful already but there's nothing wrong with doing something that will make you feel better about your appearance especially as your public profile rises.

Watching while eating sardines. I'm on day 4 of a sardine/salmon fast. BG 81, Ketones. Down 4 lbs. I'm just past 6 years of Keto and often I have carnivore days, love it.

[deborahmoran]

I did this last year at 74. Had good results for my age but sure wish I had done it much earlier. Best to you!

[Leonardokite]

Based on the title I couldn’t wait to watch this video. But first, I get your cosmetic endeavor. For me, I’m an old worn out dude so it really doesn’t make any difference LOL. You are a beautiful woman and I’m sure you would like to stay that way and even improve on that. Why not!?!
Now for the high ketones…. Approaching the last week of my 26 day fast my ketones ranged between 6.5 and 7.5 in the evenings. Half of the last week it was high which is 8 or above. In my case, my glucose was around 80 ± 10. I felt perfectly fine other than tiring easy when exerting myself.
Statistics for those who care: initial insulin level 15.1. After seriously following keto and fasting 66 hours each week, my insulin level was 4.2. Fasting glucose level from about 100 to about 80. That is over a period of about five months. In the meantime while I am getting healthy my weight is dropping off to a healthy weight. Not to mention zero drugs for psoriasis and my skin is clearer than ever.

I'm an MD, do you girl! I fought myself on cosmetic enhancements, did it and so happy

[terfalicious]

I am proud of you for doing what you feel you need to do. Please remember to take us with you on your journey - lots of us are curious about the process too! Certainly you are beautiful 'as is' but I totally understand your feelings. You go, girl, and ignore any detractors! This is your body, your life, and your right to autonomy!

I am absolutely LOVING this lecture. I am a graphic minded person and your little animation to explain something scientific to a person that gets so lost in the science is so great. Thank you so much for caring about getting the message through.

[vanessah-eesl]

Your walk. Blessings to you, Doc! You're beautiful and this will be just fine. You're not reckless. Thank you for being human and sharing with us. You have true integrity!

[jaymeous]

I look forward to hearing more about the laser resurfacing next week! ❤

[LizaJaneFlor]

I’m in total support of your decision to take care of your skin!

[inezbradley]

I’m excited for you! I think you have just explained EXACTLY why you’ve decided to this. I WISH I had known about this 30 years ago!

I’m now 72, have always had great (but very sensitive & SOFT) skin, but in the last 6 - 9 months, my skin (all over) has gotten MUCH thinner & DRY.
I feel like it has collapsed & am VERY worried about it’s structural integrity.

I went through menopause at 47. Two years ago, I developed a large ovarian cyst. As a result, I felt forced to go forward with an open abdominal surgery (to learn whether or not the cyst was malignant) and, as part of the protocol (& my age) my oncologist OB GYN removed both ovaries.

Since then, I have experienced a number of issues which suggest that I have imbalance in the gut Microbiome & various Hormones. All of this, is to explain what ai believe is affecting the health of my skin.

I’d REALLY love to find a protocol to improve that condition! Best of luck to you in your results of your procedure.

I look forward to learn of your results! 💕

You’re an excellent example and I appreciate your honesty, always. I am almost ten years post menopausal and I don’t feel that I am aging in that way. I am very into natural health and oils, where the conventional medical side always gets this wrong. There’s nothing wrong with doing what you feel will make you feel better about yourself. Best wishes for the best results you are looking for!!

[sharonbuckley]

You are beautiful and humble, adventurous and generous. You are generous to share your ups and downs and victories and mistakes with people who care about you and even with those who really don’t care or are jealous and critical of your successes.
I appreciate the many medical lessons you provide and share so freely for the benefit of anyone who listens. Thank you for the many ways you serve.
I believe you have researched the validity and potential value of your skin session and I pray it will be for your benefit and happiness and rapid healing. You already glow so we hope the results are long lasting.
I did not take any appropriate balancing hormones when I went through menopause at 57. I have been told that at 79 it is to late for some hormone benefits but medics have been wrong before. I do use .1% estradiol cream with mixed benefits.
I hope to continue learning and improving my health that I am willing to be responsible for.

[rhondamills]

I'm so excited for you! How fortunate are we that you are willing to share your experience with us! You do you and I'll be waiting for your next post! Congratulations! ❤

[Strutter-direct]

Thanks Doc, the slides and commentary are always gold.

[lydiajung]

I can’t wait to hear the science behind the laser peel. I have done chemical peels. Nothing wrong with them. You are beautiful and I hope you get the results you want!!! I can’t wait to see your results. Thanks for taking us along with you. 😊

[juditharmitage]

I understand completely why you're doing this....Go for it!

[tyekajada]

Super awesome you are going to take care of your face . It’s environment that messes faces up . Everyone should do what ever they can to keep that healthy youthful glow . People who let themselves go are the ones that should be embarrassed . ❤

[merriemelodies]

Eagerly awaiting the next sardine challenge; looking forward to having company.
