Summary

In this episode from 2023, Gwyneth sits down with longtime friend and board-certified plastic surgeon Julius Few, MD, to talk about what it really means to age well. They explore how our ideas of aging have shifted—from dramatic interventions later in life to a gentler, earlier focus on prevention, preservation, and restoration. Few shares the tools he’s most excited about today, from thoughtful skin care to minimally invasive techniques, and how they can support vitality, elasticity, and confidence over time. Together, they consider what it looks like to embrace age while still wanting to feel vibrant—and what the future of aging gracefully might look like for the next generation.
