Show Notes
On this weeks episode of The Nicola Graham Podcast, I’m joined by my gym partner and close friend Katie Dean. Registered nurse, mum of four, and now full-time aesthetics practitioner at her own clinic.
We talk about ageing as something we can’t avoid but can influence by focusing on health foundations first: training, nutrition, sleep, hydration and stress. We share how our workouts have shifted away from constant high intensity towards more strength and lower-stress sessions, why fasting and skipping breakfast can backfire as we get older, and how prioritising protein has helped.
Katie explains what clients most commonly ask for (forehead Botox, lower-face changes like nasolabial lines), why she prefers “regenerative” options like polylactic acid and skin boosters, what “filler blindness” is, and how to choose a safe practitioner. Plus simple skincare basics like moisturising and SPF.
