In this episode, I interview Megan McCue and we are talking about something that’s become incredibly common, but not often questioned—Botox. This isn’t about shame or judgment. It’s about informed consent, long-term thinking, and tuning back into how the body actually works.

We break down the lesser-discussed side effects of Botox—beyond just bruising and "frozen face"—and offer holistic tools like facial cupping and nervous system work that support both beauty and biology.

Here’s what we cover:

🧠 The Less Talked About Side of Botox:

• Why Botox is more than just a local muscle relaxer—and how it impacts the nervous system

• Facial asymmetry, muscle atrophy, and skin laxity: what happens over time

• How it may affect facial feedback (yes, that’s a real thing) and emotional processing

💆‍♀️ Healthy, Holistic Alternatives That Actually Work:

• Facial cupping: what it is, how it supports lymph, circulation, and collagen

• Gua sha: not just trendy—why it matters for muscle tone and fascia health

• Nervous system support + jaw tension: how stress shows up on the face
