Kathryn interviews Plastic Surgeon & Assistant Professor, SUNY Downstate Medical Center Richard Westreich MD. Do you miss hanging out with your friends? Want to see live sports or concerts? Done with Zoom? Then roll up your sleeves and get vaccinated, encourages top NYC plastic surgeon Dr. Westreich. He has joined the movement to help spread the truth about the efficacy and safety of the COVID-19 vaccines and to dispel misconceptions swirling on social media. He and his dedicated team have created fun and informative videos featuring familiar tunes with re-tooled lyrics to encourage more Americans to “crush COVID” by getting their vaccines. Dr. Westreich has been selected multiple times by Castle Connolly and New York magazine as one of the top doctors in facial plastic surgery. He is an assistant professor at SUNY Downstate Medical Center and is on staff at Lenox Hill and Mount Sinai Hospitals. Kathryn also interviews Travel Journalist Annie Daly, author of “Destination Wellness: Global Secrets for Better Living Wherever You Are.” Fed up with the commercialization of the wellness industry after working in it for years, Annie embarked on an inspiring adventure through some of the world's happiest and healthiest cities and villages to find out what we can learn from them. Whether she's hiking along gorgeous fjords in Norway to see why Norwegians are so dedicated to getting outside, soothing her spirit with Hawaiian saltwater cleanses, or learning about the importance Brazilians place on community, Annie combines on-the-ground reporting with heartful personal narrative to share the global lessons, philosophies and customs that prove that wellness is not about the products — it's about the way you live your life. A former editor at SELF, BuzzFeed and Cosmopolitan, her work has been featured in dozens of digital and print publications including AFAR, Condé Nast Traveler, Travel + Leisure, Vogue, Marie Claire, Lonely Planet, Women’s Health, InStyle and The New York Post.
