Introducing: The De Los Podcast
From the Los Angeles Times and Sonoro comes the De Los Podcast — a weekly conversation where music, pop culture and Latinidad collide. Hosted by De Los editors Fidel Martínez and Suzy Exposito, the show pulls back the curtain on the stories, people and cultural moments shaping the Latino experience in the U.S. and beyond. Every episode is a front-row seat to conversations with the artists, actors, filmmakers and thinkers who are moving the culture forward — not just talking about it. Guests include Leslie Grace, Sen Dog of Cypress Hill, Xolo Maridueña, Fabrizio Guido, producer and singer Empress Of, among others. Think of it as the cultural conversation that major American media rarely makes room for — a space where Latinos get to talk, unfiltered, about what they create and who they are. Produced by Los Angeles Times, L.A. Times Studios, and Sonoro. New episodes every week — available on YouTube and all major podcasts.

Train for Life, Not Just the Gym: Mobility, Stability & Moving for Longevity
From carrying groceries to checking your blind spot while driving, life happens in motion — and your workouts should reflect that. Pvolve's Dani Coleman joins Live & Well to share why multidimensional training helps build strength that extends beyond the gym.

Recovery Isn’t An Afterthought: Moving Through Life with Less Pain and More Ease
Most people think recovery happens after the workout. According to Dr. Jason Wersland, that’s the biggest mistake we make. On this episode of Live & Well, the Therabody founder & recovery expert explains why recovery should happen before, during, and after movement — not just when you’re already sore. From activating the nervous system before exercise to reducing burnout and speeding up rebound between sets, Dr. J breaks down how elite athletes use recovery as part of performance itself. He also shares the science behind pain relief, nervous system regulation, blood flow, and why staying ahead of soreness can help prevent injuries, improve mobility, and keep your body performing at its best. Whether you’re training hard or just trying to move without pain, this episode will change the way you think about recovery.

Commit to Less, Show Up More: Joyful Movement & Fitness for Every Life Stage
What if the secret to getting stronger wasn’t doing more—but doing less, consistently? In this episode of Live and Well, Melissa Magsaysay sits down with Sculpt Society founder Megan Roup to unpack a refreshing, sustainable approach to fitness that actually works. From her early struggles with body image and the pressures of the dance world to building a global fitness platform, Megan shares how she redefined movement as something joyful, inclusive, and empowering—not punishing. The conversation dives into why extreme workouts and “all-or-nothing” mindsets often backfire, and how shorter, well-programmed workouts can be more effective for long-term results. They also explore how fitness needs evolve across life stages—from your 20s to pregnancy, postpartum, and midlife—and why the industry is finally starting to acknowledge conversations around perimenopause, hormones, and women’s health. Megan breaks down common misconceptions around strength training, low-impact workouts, and the idea that you have to be drenched in sweat for a workout to “count.” If you’ve ever struggled to stay motivated, felt intimidated by fitness trends, or wondered how to create a routine that actually sticks—this episode is your permission slip to simplify.

The Future of Facial Rejuvenation: Fillers or Fat Transfer?
What if the future of facial rejuvenation isn’t synthetic—but your own biology? In this episode of Live and Well, we sit down with renowned facial plastic surgeon Dr. Paul Nassif to break down the rising shift from traditional fillers to micro fat transfer. Known for his precision work and complex revision cases (and as a star of Botched), Dr. Nassif explains why more experts are rethinking long-term use of fillers—from migration to hidden scar tissue—and how these trends are shaping the next era of aesthetics. Dr. Nassif also unpacks the nuances between micro fat and nano fat, where and how fat is placed in the face, and what really happens as your body ages, loses volume, or changes with weight fluctuations. Whether you’re filler-curious, considering facial rejuvenation, or just want to understand what’s actually happening beneath the skin, this episode delivers a clear, expert-led look at where beauty—and science—are headed next.

The Hair Growth Breakthrough: Inside the Peptide Revolution
Hair loss, thinning, breakage—what’s really going on beneath the surface? In this episode of Live and Well, host Melissa Magsaysay sits down with OMI founder Naomi Whittel to unpack the science of hair health and why peptides are emerging as a game-changing solution.

They dive into the difference between supplements, pharmaceuticals, and peptide technology, the truth about topical treatments, and why hair is one of the clearest signals of overall health. Plus, a candid conversation on women’s health, hormone shifts, and why the future of wellness is deeply personal—and data-driven. If you’ve ever wondered why your hair won’t grow past a certain length or how to actually support it at the root, this episode is your new starting point.

Nutrition scientist and registered dietitian Dr. Michelle Davenport breaks down what actually happens to your food under high heat and why it shows up in your body long after the meal is over. We get into AGEs, inflammation, metabolic health, and why the chemistry of cooking is one of the most underrated conversations in longevity.
