In this episode of Skin Anarchy, host Dr. Ekta sits down with Emmy-winning journalist and women’s health advocate Tamsen Fadal to explore her mission to destigmatize menopause and empower midlife women. Through her groundbreaking documentary The M Factor, Fadal tackles decades of misinformation, highlights the urgent need for research, and sparks a much-needed shift in the public conversation around this critical life stage.

A respected newsroom veteran, Fadal shares how her own experiences and the stories of countless women led her to pivot from high-profile reporting to menopause advocacy. Her journey underscores the glaring lack of information and support for midlife health. In The M Factor, she uncovers how flawed research from 2002 created widespread fear of hormone treatments, leaving many women underserved and misinformed. By spotlighting expert voices and real-life stories, Fadal reframes menopause as a natural transition requiring understanding, not stigma.

Fadal also emphasizes the importance of including men in the conversation. Whether as partners, colleagues, or policymakers, their support is key to bridging gender gaps and challenging ageist assumptions in society and the workplace. She calls for increased research funding, equitable healthcare policies, and collective efforts to normalize menopause discussions.

Encouraging women to see midlife as a time for reinvention, Fadal offers practical tips for reducing stress, prioritizing self-care, and finding community. Her vision is clear: menopause should be treated as a normal, empowering phase of life, supported by robust solutions and open dialogue.

In this episode of Skin Anarchy, host Dr. Ekta is joined by Dr. Walter Netto and Dr. Brett Jarrell, founders of Serucell, to explore the brand’s groundbreaking approach to skin regeneration. Rooted in wound healing research and cellular communication, Serucell goes beyond surface-level solutions to restore the skin’s natural vitality by reprogramming its cellular language.

Dr. Netto and Dr. Jarrell’s journey began in surgical medicine and biomedical science, where their work in complex wound scenarios revealed insights into cellular signaling and aging. This led to the development of Serucell’s core innovation: Cell Communication Technology (CCT). By leveraging co-cultured keratinocytes and fibroblasts, Serucell’s KFS Complex creates a natural signaling environment that prompts skin cells to revert to youthful behavior, improving collagen, elastin, and nutrient exchange.

Unlike traditional anti-aging products, Serucell addresses the root causes of aging—cellular communication breakdowns. Its formulations work to repair the “retriage,” the vital interface between skin layers that flattens with age, reducing nutrient flow and elasticity. The result? True structural rejuvenation, not just cosmetic fixes.

Using natural peptides and amino acids that the body recognizes, Serucell ensures cells respond efficiently, enhancing healing and longevity. The brand’s lab-engineered stress environment prompts cells to release regenerative signals, guiding tissues back to their youthful state.

Looking ahead, Serucell is integrating AI-driven research to refine its formulations and adapt to emerging data on environmental stressors and genetic predispositions. With a focus on system-level skin care, Serucell is setting a new standard for bio-informed skincare.

Tune in to discover how Serucell is redefining anti-aging through science, offering lasting skin vitality by restoring cellular harmony from the inside out.
