Episode 7: 🧴 F*ck, Let’s Rethink Skin Health

Ageing is a bit of a mindf*ck, especially when it comes to your skin. One minute you’re feeling good, and the next you’re wondering if that new freckle is a friend or a foe.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Philip Tong, founder of Dermatology Junction and the brains behind DermScreen, to cut through the noise and give us the real deal on skin health as we approach 50.

Phil isn’t your average dermatologist. He’s on a mission to disrupt an industry that’s been stuck in the past for too long - using AI, better systems, and a whole lot of straight talk to put patients first.

☀️ The reality of what’s happening to your skin as you hit your 40s and 50s - and why it’s not just about wrinkles.

🧬 Sagging skin, collagen, and what actually works (and what’s a waste of money).

🦠 How AI is flipping the script on skin cancer detection - and why that’s a game-changer.

💫 Hormones, stress, and lifestyle: the sneaky saboteurs of your skin health.

📸 The truth about total body photography - who it’s for, what it does, and where it’s headed next.

💡 Phil’s “Midlife Skin Manifesto” - the must-do’s for skin health as we age.

🔥 My own melanoma story - eight rounds in the eyebrow (thanks Noosa sun!) - and how Phil’s been there for every panic and biopsy.

🎯 The ‘Try This Before I’m 50’ Challenge - Phil’s got a good one, and yep, I’ve said yes.
