EP 34: The Truth About Skin, GLP-1s & Aesthetics | Dr. Zenovia Gabriel
In this episode of The Loop Podcast, Steph sits down with Dr. Zenovia Gabriel, MD, board-certified dermatologist and founder of Zena Medical in Newport Beach, California.
Dr. Gabriel shares her journey of building a dermatology and aesthetics practice from the ground up — from early challenges and big vision moments to creating a patient-first, education-driven model that blends medical dermatology, advanced aesthetics, and whole-body wellness.
Together, they dive into:
- How to truly understand your skin (beyond trends)
- Acne treatment myths, Accutane, and long-term skin health
- Navigating aesthetics without overdoing it
- The role of peptides and hormones in skin and aging
- Common misconceptions and misuse of GLP-1 medications
- Why skincare should be treated as medical care, not influencer advice
- Self-worth, body image, and aging with confidence
This conversation is equal parts science, strategy, and self-trust — perfect for anyone feeling overwhelmed by the aesthetics space or curious about making smarter, more sustainable choices for their skin and health.
As always, these conversations are for educational purposes only and are not medical advice. Always consult your healthcare provider before starting any treatment.
