Epsiode 14 | Can we know TOO much about our health? Botox, Biohacking & Body Scans

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?
