In this episode of The Better Life, Dr. Pinkston welcomes back her favorite compounding pharmacist, Ray Solano of PD Labs. Together, they pull back the curtain on the skincare industry, revealing why a high price tag doesn't always equal high quality. Ray introduces his new Skin Lasting line—pharmacist-designed formulations that prioritize stable, bioavailable ingredients like Vitamin C, glutathione palmitate, and GHK copper peptides over fancy packaging.

The conversation also tackles the "Super Bowl of Sugar" and its impact on internal health, which invariably reflects on the skin. Beyond aesthetics, Dr. Pinkston and Ray discuss the critical role of compounding pharmacies in making healthcare affordable and customized. From natural thyroid solutions to tailored GLP-1 weight loss dosages, learn how personalized medicine can save you money and reduce side effects by giving you exactly what your body needs.
