Would you want to know everything happening inside your body, or would you rather leave a few things a mystery?

This week on Glossy, we’re talking preventative Botox, biohacking and full-body MRIs, and asking when being proactive about your health starts becoming another thing to worry about.

From starting Botox in our early 20s to tracking our sleep, testing for inherited health risks and considering a body scan just because we can, we chat about how the preventative mindset has moved from our beauty appointments into almost every part of our lives.

Plus, Jazmyne’s unexpected pharmacy stop mid-run, Hannah’s “I’ll be fine” approach to getting sick, and whether we’d spend thousands to find out what’s going on inside.

Is it peace of mind, or could knowing more leave us worrying more?

Can you know too much about your health?

We’re used to hearing that prevention is better than cure. But between preventative Botox, health trackers and full-body scans, how far would you go to get ahead of something that might never happen?

This week, we’re chatting about the growing pressure to monitor, test and optimise our bodies, and whether having more information always makes us feel better.

Jazmyne shares why she tends to be proactive about her health, while Hannah admits she’s more likely to wait until something really needs attention. And when it comes to paying thousands for a look inside our bodies, we both have a few questions.

We chat about:

• Being proactive about your health versus hoping you’ll be fine

• Jazmyne’s asthma scare on a run and an unexpectedly expensive inhaler

• Biohacking, supplements and what we actually mean by “preventative”

• Starting Botox in our early 20s, before there were visible lines

• Whether calling a beauty treatment preventative makes it easier to justify

• Beauty standards, ageing and the pressure to stay ahead

• The difference between prevention, screening and optimisation

• Testing for inherited health risks and the personal decision to find out

• Full-body MRIs and whether we’d pay thousands for one

• Finding something unexpected when you weren’t feeling unwell

• Whether more health information brings reassurance or more anxiety

Plus, a One Tree Hill tangent, a shout-out to Hannah’s marathon-running parents, and the question of whether our bodies need an annual service too.
