Kylie Jones On Becoming Fifty and Fearless Founder

What if the most overlooked organ in menopause is your skin?

In this episode, Bahar speaks with Dr David Kosenko, Head of Medical and Clinical Training at Dermacosmetica, President of the Cosmetic Physicians College of Australasia, and a practising cosmetic physician with more than 30 years of clinical experience. They unpack the biological impact of oestrogen loss on the skin, why collagen declines rapidly after menopause, and how to support hormonal skin health with evidence-based care.

Dr Kosenko explains MEP technology in Emepelle, a non-hormonal innovation that activates oestrogen receptors in the skin without systemic effects. The conversation also explores regenerative aesthetics, skincare routines for perimenopause and postmenopause, and the future of hormonal skin science.

This episode is in partnership with Emepelle for Menopause Awareness Month.

Topics covered in this episode include
Menopause and skin health
Oestrogen receptor function in skin
Collagen loss in the first five years after menopause

Skin Changes in Menopause: The Science of Oestrogen Deficiency and What Actually Works | Dr David Kosenko

This conversation explores the complex and deeply human relationship between gut health and mental wellbeing. Srinivas Kamath shares insights from his research into the gut–brain axis, unpacking how hormones, stress, medication and diet intersect at the microbiome level. We discuss the limitations of current mental health treatments, the growing promise of prebiotics, and why personalised medicine may be the future of emotional and cognitive care. The episode also looks ahead to emerging research in longevity, GLP-1 therapies and the role of the gut in neurodegenerative disease, offering a grounded yet hopeful view of where this science is heading.

Key Takeaways
The gut and brain operate in constant two-way communication, influencing mood, cognition and emotional regulation.
Chronic stress and elevated cortisol can compromise the gut lining, contributing to inflammation and so-called leaky gut.
Female hormones shape the microbiome across the lifespan, and gut health in turn affects hormonal balance.
Understanding an individual’s microbiome opens the door to truly personalised approaches to mental and emotional health.
Many psychiatric medications alter the gut microbiome, which may explain common side effects and variable outcomes.
Prebiotics play a foundational role in supporting a resilient and diverse microbiome.
For most people, prebiotics are more effective and sustainable than probiotic supplementation alone.
GLP-1 is central to appetite regulation, gut signalling and broader metabolic and mental health pathways.
The vagus nerve acts as a key communication highway between the gut and the brain.
Gut microbiome research is rapidly evolving, with more questions than definitive answers at this stage.

Unlocking the Gut–Brain Connection with Srinivas Kamath

In this conversation, I’m joined by  fashion author, researcher and communication expert Dijanna Mulhearn to explore the hidden language of clothing and the evolving role of fashion as a form of personal branding. Together, we unpack how social media has reshaped our understanding of style, why corporate dressing has splintered into new tribes post pandemic, and how celebrity culture continues to direct the global wardrobe.

Dijanna brings her signature clarity to the psychology of fashion, the ethics of consumption, and the way clothing communicates power, intention and identity. This is a conversation about authenticity, individuality and the quiet authority of dressing with purpose.

Key Takeaways:
Fashion is not decoration. It is a communication system that signals identity, values and intention.
Corporate dressing has changed, but the fundamentals of clarity and authority still matter.
Social media has blurred the lines between inspiration and imitation.
What we choose to wear contributes to our personal brand every day.
Clothing shapes confidence and behaviour.
Celebrity influence remains one of fashion’s strongest currency drivers.
Sustainability is no longer optional. It is part of responsible consumption.
A strong personal style comes from self knowledge, not trends.
Understanding the historical context of fashion gives depth and perspective.
The most powerful fashion message is authenticity.
