01/28/21 • 94 min

Join me, Dr. Sarah Milken, in an honest and open conversation about anti-aging in the second half of life with Dr. Jason Diamond. Dr. Diamond is a Board-Certified Facial Plastic & Reconstructive Surgeon in Beverly Hills, specializing in surgical & non-surgical facial rejuvenation. Dr. Diamond has developed a long standing reputation for making his patients look youthful, yet completely natural, as seen on E! Network’s hit reality television show, Dr. 90210. “My patients don’t look done,” Dr. Diamond says. “They just look great.” Dr. Diamond is sharing the tools we need to rejuvenate, refresh and radiate ourselves in the second half of life.

We are going to dig deep into the details of Dr. Diamond’s journey to becoming one of the top facial plastic surgeons in the world and how he created the Diamond “Insta-Facial” and Diamond Sculpting filler technique, to make women look ageless.

In this episode, we found the sweet spot in learning about the aging of the face. We learned Dr. Diamond’s philosophy on the art of plastic surgery, the benefits of certain procedures vs. others, augmenting our facial structure, and things we need to know as red flags, before we commit to letting work be done on our faces. If you ever wanted to know more about facial plastic surgery or about almost every facial procedure under the sun... this is the episode for you.

Dr. Diamond talks to us about the stigma that often surrounds facial plastic surgery, and why it is important that we do what we want for us, not external validation.. Social media has played an important role in reducing the stigma of getting procedures and plastic surgery, but it has also made people have unrealistic expectations. Dr. Diamond talks about how clients often come to see him and expect to “look like Kim Kardashian,” when in reality, Dr. Diamond is an expert at highlighting one’s own facial features and emphasizing all of the right contours of your face. He talks to us about how he created the practice that he has today, and how he became an expert from learning from all of the top experts. He was able to pick up thousands of different techniques to create the Diamond methods that he uses today.

After listening to this episode, you will have learned the ins and outs of facial plastic surgery, treatments and procedures...from what to do & what not to do, to who to see and what is best for you (if anything at all). Dr. Jason Diamond gives us so many golden nuggets that we can use in our own lives... even if we aren’t getting facial plastic surgery right now or ever...things to think about.

08 | Thriving, Not Just Surviving ... Cleansing, Juicing & Transforming with Elissa Goodman

Join me, Dr. Sarah Milken, in an honest and open conversation about learning how to thrive, not just survive in our second half of life with Elissa Goodman. Elissa Goodman is a holistic nutritionist and lifestyle cleanse expert to an A-list roster of celebrities. After being diagnosed with cancer at 32 and then losing her husband to his own fight with cancer, Elissa dove deep into finding solutions for helping to cure cancer and many other health problems. Her quest to heal her own cancer led her into being a fountain of health and lifestyle change & solutions for thousands of her clients. She wrote the best-selling book “Cancer Hacks” and has an upcoming book called “Auto-immune Hacks”. Elissa also offers a soup cleanse program to help reset the body, and a digital 7 day reset as well. Elissa is giving us the tools we need to create a healthier lifestyle from the inside out and make our bodies the strongest they can be in the second half of life.

We are going to dig deep into the details of Elissa’s journey into her second half of life, and how she was able to move past trauma and illness and change her life entirely.

In this episode, we learned the benefits of cleansing, juicing, supplements, stress reduction and cancer prevention hacks. We talk about how her own personal experiences with cancer and other illnesses led her to a “vending machine” of different remedies from trauma therapy, to energy healing, journaling, meditation, and then finally nutrition. She was able to try many different things, cure her cancer and find some personal inner calm. Elissa recommends trying many different modalities. It’s not a one size fits all approach to health. She also believes in the importance of testing our bodies for deficiencies so we can better use supplements. She figured out the secrets to thriving, not just surviving. In this process, she also discovered her purpose and why for her second half of life, in helping people heal from physical and mental issues and find a fountain of longevity and good health.

Elissa teaches us all about the importance of plant-based diets and juicing without sugar fruits, and how these plants & veggies are able to help eliminate illness, reduce inflammation and improve our mental health. While it is important to eat more plants and vegetables, it doesn’t mean you have to cut out meat and animal products entirely... it is possible to still enjoy yourself. She also talks to us about how stress and trauma have a physical impact on our bodies, and if we don’t work to reduce it, it can end up having physical manifestations in our body. With varying combinations of different practices, journaling or finding a practice to reduce stress, cleaning up our eating and social connection, we can become the healthiest versions of ourselves.

After listening to this episode, you will be able to improve all aspects of your health, from the inside out & kickstart the new year filled with transformation and thriving, not just surviving.

Some highlights:

How to take the first step in juicing and cleansing
Finding life and meaning after tragedy
Why we need to eat more plants, and less meat
How holistic wellness and plant medicine helped cure her cancer
How Elissa used a “vending machine” of remedies and therapeutic avenues to help heal from trauma and start her second half of life

10 | Being My Own WHY In The Second Half Of Life... First Solo Episode

In this very special and first episode of it’s kind for my podcast, I am doing a solo cast. I have been putting this episode off for so long...yes, self limiting beliefs...who am I to do this? Who will listen? Can I do it? It was scary to think about talking to myself without a guest. LOL. I did it. Today, I am sharing some of my golden nuggets that we all can use today, to start being our own why and take that first step in the self recreation journey, in the second half of life.

In this episode, I talked about the turning point that made me realize that I wanted to create a podcast, and how my family helped tremendously along the way. In fact, it was my 14 (13 at the time) daughter, who was the one who started all of this. For my birthday, as a gift, she asked many of my friends to write “three things they love about my mom”...upon opening this golden box, I discovered many messages that made me realize I had a little something unique to me that I could put out into the world. There was a theme. I am an inquisitive information gatherer, known as The Flexible Neurotic. While I went back and forth over whether or not it should be a book or a podcast, it was my truly incredible friend, mentor and first guest, Angella Nazarian, who kick started my podcast journey...also, my incredible life coaches, Cari Rose and Ryan Haddon. By reaching out to family, friends and mentors, I was able to gather the information, support and expertise that I needed to start my self recreation journey. It takes a village. #womensupportingwomen.

“The Flexible Neurotic came to be when I realized my special skill is really being super neurotic, but balancing it out with just the right amount of flexibility, when I need to make a final decision...this is the definition of The Flexible Neurotic and the premise of the podcast.“

In this episode, I go on to talk about how this podcast turned into something I could have never imagined. It grew at a crazy fast rate, all thanks to my friends and even people I have met online who have resonated with this self recreation process. I also chat about the steps forward and detours in the journey. I share some of the people that I have met and connected with along the way and how they have continued to shape my self recreation process. I even cover a quick recap of some of the episodes that have really resonated with my listeners and me.

On a more personal level, you will hear how my husband and I met in high school and how it went down from there, to a 27 year relationship.

You will hear about me, why the podcast, how the podcast, how I learned to become my own why and take that first step... and what we can all do to take the next steps in our self recreation journeys, in the second half of life.

Join in the self recreation journey and listen!
