Are non-surgical facelifts worth the hype—or just a waste of money? I'm your host, Dr. Jason Hall, and in this solo episode I break down the truth about the most popular non-surgical facial rejuvenation treatments. We'll cover lasers, radiofrequency microneedling, fillers and thread lifts, and why so many of these options fall short, especially if you're expecting facelift-level results.

You’ll learn:
- Why “non-surgical facelift” is often a misleading label
- The four true causes of facial aging, and why no single treatment solves them all
- What lasers, RF, and fillers actually do (and what they definitely don’t)
- Why thread lifts are basically “cosmetic sugar highs”
- How to approach diagnosis before you invest in any treatment

Whether you're considering aesthetic treatments or just want to understand what works and what’s marketing fluff, this episode will give you the clarity you need to make smart, informed decisions.

Vaccines are often hailed as one of the greatest medical achievements of the 20th century, but what if that story is missing some key chapters?

I’m Dr. Jason Hall, and in this episode of The Trillium Show, I sit down with Roman Bystrianyk, co-author of Dissolving Illusions, for a conversation that made me question everything I was taught in medical school about disease, immunity, and the history of vaccines.

Roman’s research takes us beyond the standard “one germ, one drug” model and into terrain theory, which suggests that a healthy internal environment, not just microbial exposure, determines whether we get sick. We dig into historical data showing massive declines in infectious diseases like measles, scarlet fever, and whooping cough long before vaccines were introduced, thanks to improvements in sanitation, nutrition, and public health.

We also talk about:

• Why terrain theory might matter more today than ever
• How modern medicine’s financial incentives shape what we’re taught
• Why critical thinking is your most powerful tool in any doctor’s office
• The potential downsides of overrelying on vaccines as a cure-all
• And how you can take real ownership of your health and immune system

This isn’t a call to ignore science, it’s an invitation to ask better questions and take a deeper look at what health really means.

If you’ve ever wondered whether we’ve been oversimplifying complex health issues, this one’s for you.

If you're building a career, starting a business, or just trying to grow into the next version of yourself—this episode is for you.

I’m Dr. Jason Hall, and today on The Trillium Show, I’m getting personal. We’re talking about mentorship: why it matters, how I neglected it in my own life, and the real costs of trying to figure everything out on your own.

I’ve made more mistakes than I can count, many of them because I let pride get in the way of asking for help. But here’s the truth: mentors don’t see your questions as weakness. They see them as connection. And if you want to build something meaningful, whether that’s a surgical practice, a small business, or just a fulfilling life, you can’t do it alone.

In this episode, I share:

• The 3 biggest benefits of finding the right mentor
• Why going it alone can cost you time, energy, and money
• How mentorship helps you avoid burnout and isolation
• What I’ve learned mentoring young surgeons, students, and entrepreneurs
• And why asking for help might be the strongest move you make

This isn’t a step-by-step guide. It’s a real-world reminder that success is a team sport. So if you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or too proud to reach out, I hope this message helps you change that.

Thinking about breast surgery but not sure if you need implants, a lift—or both? I’ve got you covered.

In this special mashup episode, I’m pulling together the most important insights from across The Trillium Show to help you understand the difference between breast augmentation, breast lifts, and the popular combo of both. We’ll walk through who needs a lift (spoiler: more people than you think), what implants actually do, and—just as important—what they don’t.

Whether you’re looking to restore shape after kids, add volume where you never had it, or just want the facts without the fluff, this episode lays it all out in real, accessible terms.

Let’s cut through the noise and get you one step closer to making the right choice for your body.

Today we’re diving into a topic I get asked about all the time—what’s the difference between Erbium and CO2 lasers, and which one is right for your skin? CO2 lasers have been around forever, and while they’re effective, they can come with longer healing times and a higher risk of pigmentation issues. That’s where Erbium lasers shine.

In this episode, I break down the real science behind both technologies, explain why Erbium’s higher affinity for water makes it safer—especially for darker skin types—and why I prefer it for both fractional and full-field resurfacing. If you’re considering laser treatment, this is a must-listen to help you make an informed decision. Plus, I’ll share a bit about my new book, The Art of Aging: Look Great, Not Fake, and where you can learn even more.

Wrinkles, lines, and sagging skin—everyone deals with them eventually, but what’s the best way to fix them for good? I’m Dr. Jason Hall, and in today’s special recap episode of The Trillium Show, we’re diving deep into how combining the right facelift techniques with targeted laser treatments can deliver truly long-lasting results.

I’ll take you back through past key conversations on understanding facial wrinkles, what facelifts can (and can’t) achieve, why the deep plane facelift is so effective for lower-face rejuvenation, and how different lasers tackle skin texture and tone. Ready to finally say goodbye to temporary solutions and embrace lasting rejuvenation? Tune in now, and let’s get you the clear answers you deserve.

After years of seeing patients frustrated by ineffective treatments and wasting money on beauty products and treatments that don’t deliver, Dr. Jason Hall decided to set the record straight.

To cut through the noise and expose the truth behind skincare scams, influencer marketing, and underqualified providers, he wrote his book The Art of Aging: Look Great, Not Fake.

Dr. Hall breaks down what actually works, what’s worth the investment, and how to make informed choices. He helps readers spot untrained providers, avoid overhyped trends, and build a skincare routine tailored to their biology—not just the latest fads.

Knowing that good skincare is the foundation of any anti-aging plan, he also includes a science-backed framework to guide readers toward real results.
His passion for education extends beyond the book. His podcast, The Trillium Show, has transformed the way he approaches consultations, with patients coming in better informed and ready for more productive discussions.

For Dr. Hall, great results start with teamwork, which is why every first visit is about understanding a patient’s goals before anything else.

Are you tired of cosmetic treatments that leave you looking worse than before? Today we're talking about how to avoid the dangers of 'Burger King medicine' and get the results you truly want. So what is Burger King medicine? It’s not about fast food—it’s about the fast-food approach to medical treatments, where patients demand quick fixes based on their own research or advice from friends, often bypassing crucial medical advice. This phenomenon is particularly rampant in the world of aesthetic medicine, where the stakes are not just about health but also about appearance.

Today we're going to talk about what Burger King medicine really means—getting it your way, right away, even when it’s not what’s best for you. I’ll share a cautionary tale about why it’s critical to have a proper diagnosis and a tailored treatment plan. In a world where Dr. Google can sometimes override real doctors, I stress the importance of resisting the urge to self-diagnose and instead, setting clear, informed goals for any medical or cosmetic procedure.

Also, don’t miss out on my new book, “The Art of Aging: Look Great, Not Fake,” available now on Amazon, where I discuss how to navigate the minefield of modern medicine with your health and aesthetics intact. Tune in to arm yourself with the knowledge to make smart, safe choices in your healthcare journey.
