Kulap Vilaysack
Oh boy, it’s a good day and a good episode when we have this returning guests my favorite recurring segment Please welcome our boots on the ground. Our scientists, our tried and true. Dr. MD, Majandra Delfino.
SuChin Pak
And this week, Dr. Majandra is here to tell us about the thing she wished she knew in her 20s. So that’s the theme. If you’re listening in your 40s, and your 50s and beyond, this is stuff we can pick up right here because we’re here with you ladies. And listen, if you’re in your 20s, you’re welcome.
Kulap Vilaysack
Majandra, give us a little background on this list. Before we jump into it.
Majandra Delfino
First of all, what an honor to be here. That’s my first note on my clipboard. It’s says thank you for having me back. So this list, it was really interesting. It made me realize how much I thought I knew in my 20s and then also just how much I was drinking in my 20s as you do, you know. I used to drink what’s caught what I like to net This is very controversial. I used to call it a PDF file. And it was Pedialyte with vodka. And that name needs to sort of maybe read that’s gonna get me cancelled. You know what? I’ve grown. Yeah. So as far as this list goes, I had a lot to say, which was, you know, really unfortunate. I feel like that means I’m just filled with regret. But, the first thing on the list addresses the weird, awful choices we make at that in that sort of age range, such as going out in the sun with a ton of pimples, also the pimples all that stuff. There’s a lot of sort of just marks that I would have loved to had a race a little bit quicker at that age, right? There’s this stuff called Niacin, by a company called Slurp. I mean, I don’t know why guys, this happens to me.
SuChin Pak
Someone saw it in my office they’re like what? You shouldn’t have this out I was like it’s not that, it’s for my brain.
Majandra Delfino
Why they named their company Slurp, I have no idea, so it’s essentially just this you know chemical mix of these different components that help just target sun damage, acne scars all of that in like rapid time and I know that now because I had a little woopsie with a visor I mean it’s so embarrassing guys I was out in the sun with a visor and I got all these pimples across my forehead and it was like oh god that fear of like, is it back like do I have like teen acne again? It went away But yeah, the aging process makes the clearing up of that sort of thing even slower, so this stuff I started putting it on I was like alright, whatever and it, I mean, maybe illegal, maybe you know, the FDA is going to pull it one day I don’t know because it just stucked up.
Kulap Vilaysack
I’m only interested in the products Majandra brings by that she’s scared of.
Majandra Delfino
That’s how I like to live, and when someone says to me, DMs me, I have a green version of that that you should try I the rage that fills my body. I don’t want to clean green version.
SuChin Pak
You’re on the wrong channel. Okay?
Majandra Delfino
I would pour acid on my you know what, please no and this kind of is a little bit of an acid you guys it doesn’t feel like it but it works like one I mean it’s insane to me.
SuChin Pak
It’s got 1300 plus rave reviews. This is incredible. The thing with me is I get very like cystic acne so clearing that up is a chore, but then what happens is the scarring, I mean I have it I probably will have I got one just a few months ago and this scar will probably be there for two years.
Majandra Delfino
Yeah exactly, and I have so much.
SuChin Pak
I’m putting the creams and the retinols and the everything on it but could this help with that?
Majandra Delfino
This is what this thing does. Because that is I have so much left over from my teens. I mean it’s been addressed but it just hasn’t worked. And then I had this new thing that went away and then everything else is just starting to clear up it’s kind of amazing. You put it on your entire face it’s just comes on sort of like hyaluronic acid like it has that same sort of consistency and you just go along with the rest of your you know knee deep routine of God knows what I put you know, I love a day where I’m gonna apply like 12 things topically so fun, but just start with this thing and then you know, maybe just sunscreen whatever but if you just do that twice a day, like in a week you’re gonna be like, holy moly.
Kulap Vilaysack
We talked about protecting barriers and our skin barrier all the time. This says it reconstructs damage barriers and that’s all I need.
Majandra Delfino
And I will say, SuChin, and I think that with use in tandem with that amazing like toner exfoliator that you recommended
SuChin Pak
Yes, from Neterium?
Majandra Delfino
Yes, for sure. Yeah, it’s just like the combo.
SuChin Pak
Majandra, I have to say and again, you guys none of us are doctors and dermatologists. But I use that toner, the Neterium toner, whenever I break open a new product, because I don’t know in my mind once I do that, that it’s almost like the cleanest slate that you’re ever going to get for your face. To me it’s my own litmus test of whether a product is really great or not because after I do that I give it its full best shot. I put whatever new product on and if it’s like no I’m like you’re never gonna get a better shot than that. It’s not working for me. Yeah, you’re speaking my language, Majandra.
Majandra Delfino
It really is. I think just like the dream combo but even by itself this Niacid by Slurp, is just..
SuChin Pak
Thanks for clarifying.
Majandra Delfino
Oh, I mean, guys, I only want to reference drinking as slurping from now on.
Kulap Vilaysack
My goodness. Okay next up, you feel like if you know in your total 20s, if you knew about this this sunscreen, you’d start making less mistakes.
Majandra Delfino
Well here’s the thing especially in my 20s I mean I don’t want to age myself but I feel like the sunscreens were really like that chalky you know, whatever now they’re obviously making more skin tone friendly options. This thing has no it’s gel. And it has it’s mixed with hyaluronic acid which you know, we’re all obsessed with. At one point I was ingesting it, not sure if that’s why I’m not bringing it up today. But topically we all know applying hyaluronic acid is the thing and this has it in there and it just comes on like such a nice feeling you know when you put sunscreen on after having washed your face and done the whole thing there’s like a little part of you that dies because it just feels like yuck, Dammit that was so when I was going so well and then now this is the complete opposite, this feels like oh wow.
SuChin Pak
I can’t believe that, like when you said that like every part of my body. Like the bells every part of my body was ringing little tiny. Jingle Bells.
Majandra Delfino
And there is also part we’re like probably going to get a pimple now, it’s something about the sunscreen application. It always sort of comes on and a feeling that just instinctually feels wrong.
Kulap Vilaysack
So this product is the ice and tree hyaluronic acid watery essential SPF 50, strong protection against UVA, UVB rays. Majandra, tell us about Neural Reprogramming.
Majandra Delfino
Oh my gosh, well, this is very interesting. Guys, this is a loaded, loaded word. SuChin I fear the reaction from you on this one like you don’t even know, we all collectively gasps at your reaction about Kulap’s crystal collection. The judgment you know, that I’m afraid of it. It’s going to come with this.
Kulap Vilaysack
Thank you, Majandra.
SuChin Pak
I’m properly trained, thought. But now, so, mums the word, please continue about your neural manifestation journey.
Majandra Delfino
So that’s the thing, it is technically a manifestation class, okay, that this thing is, right? But what it really is, which I really could have used in my 20s is an it’s a neural process that’s literally rooted in neuroscience, psychology and epigenetics, that reprograms your subconscious. It’s sort of like, like a self-hypnosis, if you will, which I know that word scares people, but you know?
Kulap Vilaysack
Not me. I’m at the edge of my seat.
Majandra Delfino
So this woman, Lacy Phillips has this course and you sign up, it’s, you know, like, less than $1 a day, you can do it for just one month, you know, and you go through the litany of all the different things that we have sort of stored trauma with you knows there’s like a re-parenting one, there’s a shadow self where you have to approach the things about yourself, you don’t like blah, blah, blah, she walks you through this sort of process of realizing these things, facing these things, and then sort of putting them behind you. It really is sort of approaching it from this like scientific point of view. Sort of intent, like it has a Dr. Joe Dispenza kind of approach. I don’t know if you know who that is. Sujit? I don’t know how much you’re cringing inside right now. But you’re doing an amazing job.
Kulap Vilaysack
I think it makes you know; I think you did an amazing job.
SuChin Pak
I’m curious, Majandra, like, what have you done with this program? like does one start? because like you said, There seems to be so many plays, right? So like, where do you start with this?
Majandra Delfino
I personally, you know, the re parenting really spoke to me. So it’s like, that’s something where she’s like, imagine like, who you who in your mind is like the perfect mother, the perfect father, and she does a beautiful job of being like, this is not a time to you know, this is not an opportunity for me to make you feel unappreciative of your parents or we’re not here to shit on your parents or whatever. Sorry, guys. I know, you know, we don’t like to talk about shit. Sorry, SuChin. But what is the ideal for you? What are the needs that weren’t met? It’s there’s a meditation aspect. There’s sort of a writing aspect of it all and you kind of just hack into it with the intensity that you probably get by going to therapy, you know, and covering that for a year or whatever. And I think that’s why it’s so brilliant for someone in their 20s because oftentimes, you know, you either can’t afford therapy or your therapist is more of a shitshow than you are, you know?
Kulap Vilaysack
So Lacy Phillips has found it To Be Magnetic. And it’s neural manifestation based on raising your self-worth, and stepping into your authenticity.
SuChin Pak
And they’ve got all different kinds of workshops. So like you said, you can start one for $60, you can unblock your inner child, there’s one called the daily practice.
Majandra Delfino
So it’s just like these very practical things. I will say, full disclosure, I do have an absolute allergy to like, the wellness space. And if like anyone talks to me like this, I want to murder like I feel a rage inside me. And so for me to sort of arrive at this, you know, with this as a, something to do in your 20s. It speaks volumes, because there is a resistance, for sure.
Kulap Vilaysack
All right. I love it. I will try it. SuChin, we could take a class together. And share notes and stuff. What do you think about that?
SuChin Pak
Yes, that sounds like fun.
Majandra Delfino
You do have to hold crystals while you do it. You do have to hold at least four crystals.
SuChin Pak
Let me just put in here, Majandra, introduced me to such a game changer in my life years ago. What was that book? A dildo and a book.
Majandra Delfino
It was the artist way.
SuChin Pak
Yes. You gifted me The Artist Way. Yeah, along with a journal and the most beautiful pencils. I kept for a very long time. But it was during a year, I just was having a really difficult time finding myself with my kids and who I was. And I was just like, in a dark rut. And I did this, Majandra, for I think it took me about eight months to get through it. Right. And it is you know how like in your life. You can put down flags on points that really sort of change the course of your life. And that was a flag. And I don’t know, if you I don’t think we’ve ever talked about it.
Majandra Delfino
Yeah, I mean, I feel like that’s always been the thing I very much, you know, felt very tapped into you and you’re not someone that you know is going to come and just like vomit out all that. But you know, there was like enough of a conversation where it’s like, oh, man, I so recognize this same thing. And I was doing it I was probably like in the middle of it. And it was such a game changer. And it both my husband and I did it together. And it was so hilarious, because it’d be like I’m going on my artist date. And just you know where you’re allowed essentially, Kulap, to like, take, go on a date with yourself that is in some way inspiring, or something artistic or whatever. So you could legitimately leave at 2PM and go see a movie by yourself. And that’s an artist date and that’s encouraged in this program. And God did I love it. But yeah, it really was very helpful.
Kulap Vilaysack
Majandra, I wish we had more time to spend with you because I could talk to you endlessly. I love that at the end of our time today. We had an Add To Cart things that I wish I knew in my 20s That was unexpected, which is the book, The Artist Way which I highly recommend to I think it’s beautifully. And I say that when I bought it and I did the first page.
Majandra Delfino
Yeah, it’s intense. It’s a commitment. Like maybe I don’t want to be an artist. It’s a commitment.
Kulap Vilaysack
Majandra, where can we find you on Instagram?
Majandra Delfino
Oh gosh, you can find me at @majandrama on Instagram. And that’s it. The only place I’m at.
SuChin Pak
Thank you so much, Dr. MD. Once again, just taking us through the highs and lows. This is what you should do in your 20s, you should have done in your 20s and you’re welcome.
Kulap Vilaysack
