Welcome back to another guest interview.

This week is with visionary plastic surgeon Dr. Emily Hartmann, who describes a truly novel mind-body approach to aesthetic practices where she incorporates reiki. Meditation and other healing practices pre and post-op as a way to reduce complications and limit the need for pain medications.

In fact, her patients undergo plastic surgery with zero pain meds at all. Emily's approach to her patients is intriguing and a model for health and well-being that goes way beyond aesthetics. I promise you, you're gonna love this week's bite.

“I got into plastic surgery because I just absolutely love helping people and changing people's lives. I am not curing cancer; I'm not saving someone's life. But I might be making their life more worth living and more in line with the way they feel they need to be.” – Dr. Emily Hartman
