I don't think that we would have been able to comfortably go through the process without LifeSource really holding our hands every step of the way. My tears were all over the consent forms. And the lovely lady really just held my hand and gave me boxes of tissues and
It was very difficult, and without the support and love and kindness of the transplant team, we would not have been able to handle it. And I really feel that she was honored. This happened at HCMC, and there is a flag that they raise for people that donate their organs. And they do a flag raising ceremony. And that was really, really special as well.
So the way that I felt that Teresa's life was honored, second to none, there is no possible way that you could have made that they could have made the process feel any easier. Just like everything that they did really made me feel comfortable and the rest of my family. And it's a really difficult time. Not everybody necessarily agrees with organ donation. So
Just having that support really made it leaps and bounds better. And even to this day, they get you in contact with other families that went through the process. And it's really special to hear from other families that maybe lost a kid or lost somebody else. And it's just really special to have that community. So thank you, LifeSource. Thank you all organ donation services.
It was so difficult, but you guys made it so much better.
Yeah. Can I also just say thank you to The organ donation team, without you guys, there wouldn't be the beauty in the pain of losing my aunt.
Knowing that somebody else out there is getting the gift of seeing a beautiful sunset or seeing their granddaughter's face or their mother's face or, you know, just some of the hardships in the world and that my aunt in her last moments could pass that on to everyone Another human being is really the most beautiful thing I could possibly think of.
So really, without you guys, that wouldn't be possible. Thank you so much for letting me share my story, too. And I just want to say also thank you to my aunt Teresa for being willing to donate.
Okay, yeah. So I'm speaking kind of of social media and maybe some other things that I've seen online. Can you speak to any of the not FDA approved weight loss?
medications or methods that I've kind of seen promoted, you know, like there's like tummy detox teas and there's like all of the, I know you're a pharmacist and you specialize in things that are approved, but have you seen any implications from the things that aren't?
Yeah, I can go ahead for sure. So I think I was the one that kind of sparked this conversation in the first place in one of the other episodes. We have several episodes on death, dying, hospice care. A lot of these things bring up these thoughts and feelings of mortality and immortality. And I, like Stan, had been around death pretty young and you're confronted with
The reality of death when you don't even necessarily have a full understanding of what it means to be alive. That was my experience. And as I grew up and I continue to be surrounded by death and dying, as I grew up and I got a little bit. older, I realized despite seeing death, I did have an illusion of immortality, probably up until I was like 21.
I think that might have something to do with brain development that might have to do with, you know, education, learning. I'm not really sure. But now that I'm 25 now, and I work with participants, research participants that are 70, 80, 90, 100. And seeing death,
Seeing and speaking with these people on a day-to-day basis that are at a much different place in their timeline of life than I am, they remind me of my mortality. Despite me being so young, I think about that.
And I think that it has such a positive impact on my life, believe it or not, because I've turned myself into a little bit of a yes man, where I don't say no to things unless there's a really, really good reason for me not to do things. because I know that I might not have this opportunity again in my lifetime. And life is to be lived while you're alive.
And so I think that without the reminder that I get from my research participants, from the elders in my life, I don't think I would have the same outlook. And I truly think it makes me a better person. And I don't think I always had this outlook. I definitely had the illusion of immortality when I was You know, you're 16. You're like, what could happen? Like, I'll speed.
I'll do these crazy things. Nothing could possibly happen. When you get older, you realize anything could happen at any moment. Anything could happen. So that's kind of been my my transition, at least. And I know that that's kind of a unique position to be in at my age, but I do think it's a positive thing in my lifetime.
Yeah, I love that you guys are going the youth route with this because there was research DeAndra put together, and this is something I've also just noticed in my day-to-day life on social media and being in a Sephora. I don't know when the last time you two stepped into a Sephora, but I've been in a lot of them.
Yeah, I've been in a few of them recently and the demographics have actually changed of Sephora. Customers are getting younger and younger. There's eight, nine, 10 year olds in there getting anti aging serums for their face. I am not even kidding you. It is a real phenomenon. I looks like Deandra has research on it. Yeah. The anti-aging industry worth is at a 610 billion by 2025.
That is a lot of money in just anti-aging. And it looks like since Deandra did the research, I'm going to let her actually comment on this because I think she'd probably know more than I do.
