FUELED | wellness + nutrition with Molly Kimball

Skincare advice is everywhere, but what does a top dermatologist actually use — and what does she think is worth your time and money? In Part 1 of this two-part conversation, board-certified dermatologist Dr. Mary Lupo joins us to talk about the mindset she brings to aging well and the surprisingly streamlined routine she relies on herself. We also get into hydrators, retinoids, product labels, drugstore buys, luxury products that may not deserve the hype, and why the way you sleep can show up on your face.   Learn more about your ad choices.

Butter, beef tallow and protein targets have dominated the conversation around the new Dietary Guidelines — but the real story is bigger. In this episode, I explain why these guidelines matter for policy, schools and food manufacturing, break down what the science supports on protein and full-fat dairy and address the softer stance on alcohol. If you’re looking for a grounded, practical interpretation of what actually deserves your attention, this episode delivers it.

Blood sugar. Cholesterol. Reflux. Blood pressure. These are the quiet health concerns so many of us know we should address, but may be putting off. Molly walks through four of the most common issues she hears from clients and shares the same practical starting points she’d offer a friend over coffee: what actually matters, where lifestyle fits in, and when supplements make sense after the foundation is in place.

High-protein bars that are shockingly low in calories. Very-low-carb breads that actually taste pretty decent. Croissants with “fat inhibitors.” These foods are everywhere (and people love them) but the ingredients behind them are anything but straightforward. Molly teams up with food scientist Darryl Holliday, PhD, to explore what’s behind three popular products and the surprising ingredients shaping their texture, flavor, and nutrition. Walk away with the knowledge to decode the fine print and decide what belongs on your plate… and what’s better left on the shelf. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

A year ago, turning 50 became an experiment in choosing “now” over “later.” My dear friend Ben McLauchlin joined me then – and now joins me a year later to reflect on what actually shifted when experiences stopped being postponed and presence became the priority. From long-talked-about trips to unexpected moments of stillness and connection, we chat about what mattered, the surprises, and what didn’t need to be planned to be meaningful. This episode is a thoughtful look at how paying closer attention can quietly change the way time feels... and how we live inside it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
