Myth Spotlight: “It’s just Botox. If it’s not right, we can tweak it later.” That’s the kind of sentence that gets thrown around more than derma planing blade offers on Groupon. Reality Check: Wrong. Very, very wrong. Here’s the inconvenient truth: Botulinum toxin doesn’t come with a rewind button. You can’t reverse it once it’s in. Fillers? Maybe.…

There’s been a disturbance in the Gurusphere. Two of its central objects of worship are feuding.

Here’s the nonsense KOLs and Insta-wellness quacks keep pushing: Stick a needle in your arm, drip in some overpriced vitamins, and you’ll be reborn. Toxins gone. Skin flawless. Energy through the roof. Hangover? Poof. Immunity? Boosted. You’ll practically glow in the dark. They call it “wellness.” I call it the Juicero of medicine—flashy, expensive…

Yeah? Best at what—posing with filler boxes and humble-bragging about “keynote speaker energy”? Let’s talk facts. HERE’S THE NONSENSE KOLs KEEP PUSHING… If you’ve been in aesthetics longer than 10 minutes, you’ve been fed this story: “Follow the Key Opinion Leaders. Learn their techniques. Do what they do. They’re the gold standard.” Spoiler: they’…

Prepare for a hearty mix of culinary tips, avoidance of hypothetical scenarios, and the usual guru grievances. Will Jordan Peterson ever admit he's a Christian? Is it ever truly possible to understand Sam Harris AND still disagree with him? And where does Joe Rogan's primal hate for owls come in? Tune in for at least some of the answers to these pr…

In this medium-decoding episode, Matt and Chris turn their attention to an unlikely venue for cutting-edge theoretical physics: Piers Morgan Uncensored. There, Eric Weinstein, renegade genius and uber guru, squares off with Sean Carroll, an actual physicist and popular science communicator, in what might generously be called a “debate.” Eric brings…

Alright, let’s rip the plaster off quick: If your diary feels like it’s either rammed or completely dead, you're not unlucky. You're just not running your business properly. Most aesthetic clinics right now? They’re living on HOPE MARKETING: Post a random "Look at this lip filler!" photo with zero context 🤳 Spam a 10% off offer every time the diary…

HERE’S THE NONSENSE THE INDUSTRY LOVES TO PUSH… You’ve heard it. You’ve probably said it. That beauty = symmetry. That your job as an injector is to “restore balance.” That faces should be corrected to match. That asymmetry is a flaw. You know where this idea comes from? The same place as the thigh gap and the duck face: pop-culture pseudo-science …

Fresh from unbuckling their seatbelts on the Gliding Guru luxury jet and mooring the show’s mega-yacht, our decoders are feeling an unexpected surge of empathy for their last decoding subject, Gary Stevenson. It turns out that a bit of jet-lagged decadence really hones one's sensitivity to wealth inequality. Or maybe it’s just the natural response …

“Daily meds for hay fever are your only option.” Rubbish. That’s what Big Pharma wants you to believe while they flog £10 antihistamines every spring. Meanwhile, the real disruptor is sitting in your toxin fridge. REALITY CHECK: Here’s the pitch: slap some BoNT-A up the patient’s nose and boom—no more tissues, no more sneezing, no more OTC cocktail…

Let me just light this dumpster fire of a belief real quick. If you’re still doing that dramatic plunger pullback ritual like it’s going to part the Red Sea and save your patient's arterial flow—you’re not practicing safely. You’re performing aesthetic theatre. And the audience? Probably a Complications WhatsApp thread, where injectors go to emotio…

Right. So here’s the myth: Ageing is this slow, linear process—little by little, wrinkle by wrinkle, bit of sag, bit of stiffness… nothing a serum or tweakment can’t fix, right? WRONG. Here’s the truth, courtesy of a brutal little study out of Stanford that didn’t ask patients how “young they feel,” but looked at actual blood, spit, snot, skin, sto…

The podcast arrives at 'late stage' Gary discourse as Matt and Chris attempt to enter the man, the myth, and the legend, Gary Stevenson, into a reductive classification system (that once again includes no mention of inequality). The gurometer was not built to handle this level of elite education and trading acumen, and has often been dismissed by a…
