Facelift prep, hormone therapy choices, and the real side effects no one wants to say out loud. Chalene takes you behind the scenes on stopping estrogen before surgery, switching from injections to testosterone cream, and testing an estrogen patch, plus how progesterone keeps her sleep on track. She also flags a Neutrogena makeup wipe recall and why telehealth shortcuts around GLP-1s can backfire. Consider this a candid pre-op diary with zero politics and full transparency, plus details on the documentary she is filming of the entire recovery. If you are curious about perimenopause symptoms, HRT delivery methods, and GLP-1 risk conversations, this one will save you time and stress.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the Shaline Show. This is the place where you go with you of absolutely zero need |
| 0:07.7 | to know what's going on in the world. You don't need to know about world events, not interested in |
| 0:13.6 | hearing about politics, or really anything remotely meaningful to society. If what you actually need today is slightly self-absorbed, |
| 0:25.1 | level 56-year-old woman, like BFF to keep your company while you're on your walk, just kind of |
| 0:32.7 | updating you on shallow things so it can take your mind off of all the deep things instead of thinking about the whole world. |
| 0:39.3 | Congratulations! You found your show. I'm happy to keep you company. Let's do this. |
| 0:45.3 | I mean, I'm not even embarrassed to admit it anymore. I've just accepted it. I've embraced it. I've embraced it. |
| 0:50.3 | I've gone through periods of my life where I tried to really study up on all |
| 0:56.8 | current events and things in society and the news and politics and so I could be a really |
| 1:03.5 | great conversationalist, be able to chime in when people were talking about things, |
| 1:07.4 | have an opinion. But it's dangerous, honestly. And the truth is, I have no |

| 1:19.6 | bothers you, you can tune out because it is who I am. Like Brett was saying, my friend Jen is flying |
| 1:26.2 | into town to keep me company while I recover from my age-affirming surgery. |
| 1:33.9 | And he's like her, some of the, a lot of the flights are being canceled and delayed and it's really creating a nightmare at the airports. |
| 1:42.5 | I said, why? |
| 1:46.4 | Well, he said, well, because of the government shutdown. |
| 1:53.5 | I'm like, oh, okay, well, I think I heard about that. Well, why would that affect United Airlines? He's like, Shalene, air traffic control? I'm like, oh, that's not a separate company. |
| 2:03.0 | He's like, are you serious right now? You don't, wow. Yeah, I'm real serious. How would I know this? I'm not on that |
| 2:09.2 | algorithm. I don't watch the news. I'm up to date in other areas. I just found out that |
| 2:17.2 | this isn't President Trump's first term. I didn't |
| 2:20.7 | realize we had an election in between. We voted for him twice, I guess. I'm just learning this. |
