Key Takeaways:
The importance of seeing ourselves as “fearfully and wonderfully made” (Psalm 139:14).
Basic skincare routine: washing your face and wearing sunscreen.
Common aging skin conditions include pigmentation and solar elastosis.
Key anti-aging skincare ingredients: retinoids, antioxidants (like vitamin C), and hydrating ingredients (like hyaluronic acid).
Factors that can disrupt the skin barrier: eczema, washing your face too much, using astringent products, and over-exfoliating.
Improving skin elasticity and firmness involves increasing collagen production (retinoids, sunscreen, microneedling, fractionated lasers) and potentially using topical estrogen.
Sunscreen: SPF 30 or higher, applied daily and reapplied, including to the neck and hands.
Powdered sunscreen is good for reapplication, especially on the hairline and ears.
Proper skincare, internal hydration (drinking water), and certain products (topical estrogen, hyaluronic acid) help keep skin hydrated.
Diet affects skin health; avoid overly processed foods and sugar, and eat antioxidant-rich foods.
Non-invasive treatments for youthful skin: microneedling, lasers, red light therapy, neuromodulators (Botox, Dysport).
Sleep lines are vertical lines caused by side sleeping and are treated with skincare and minimally invasive procedures.
Red light therapy can be beneficial if using a professional-grade device with the right wavelengths.
“Balance” is difficult to achieve; life has ebbs and flows.
 
Featured Quotes:
“I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made.” - Psalm 139:14
“Wash your face. That's the number one., And put on sunscreen, that's number two.”

Strong Bones, Strong Women: Your Guide to Lifelong Bone Health with Cindy Mercer, MD

Join Caroline and special guest Dr. Cynthia Mercer as they delve into the often-overlooked but crucial topic of bone health for women of all ages. Discover practical strategies for building and maintaining strong bones through nutrition, exercise, and lifestyle choices. Dr. Mercer shares her expertise, providing valuable insights and actionable steps to prevent osteoporosis and fractures, empowering women to live active, independent, and fulfilling lives.
 
Dr. Cynthia Mercer is a board-certified obstetrician and gynecologist who practiced in Athens, Georgia, for nearly 40 years before retiring in 2021. She completed her medical training at the Medical College of Georgia and residency at Emory University, where she served as Chief Resident. Dr. Mercer has held numerous leadership roles, including past president of the Georgia Obstetrics and Gynecology Society and chair of the Georgia Board of Public Health. She also served on the Augusta University Health System Board and is active in her church and community, including serving on the executive board of The Cancer Foundation of Northeast Georgia. She is married to attorney Thomas Rogers and has two children and four grandsons.
 
Key Takeaways:
Bone health is crucial for women of all ages to stay active and independent.
Bone density is the amount of minerals in your bones, constantly being remodeled by osteoblasts (builders) and osteoclasts (choppers).
Bone mass peaks in your 20s and gradually declines, with rapid loss during menopause due to estrogen decrease.
DEXA scans measure bone density to diagnose osteopenia (thin bones) and osteoporosis.
Treatment options include lifestyle changes, medications (pills, shots, infusions targeting osteoclasts or osteoblasts), and hormone therapy.
Calcium (1200mg), Vitamin D (1000-2000 IU, know your levels), and Magnesium (500mg) are key supplements. Consider creatine (3-5g) for muscle and bone support.
Get calcium through diet (dairy, greens, fish, nuts, fruits) if possible.
Weight-bearing and resistance exercises are vital for bone health. 
Stomping, jumping, weighted squats/deadlifts stress bones positively. Start supervised if you have osteoporosis.
Weight-bearing exercises work against gravity; resistance training builds muscle strength. Combine both!
Scripture References: 
Psalm 73:26: “My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever."
Proverbs 4:23: "Be careful how you think; your life is shaped by your thoughts."
