Rejuvenate Wellness Podcast

At 52, Princess Superstar’s song “Perfect” went viral all over again after it was featured in the film Saltburn. Suddenly, the rapper, DJ, singer, and mom was back on a tour bus for the first time in 25 years: six shows a week, five weeks straight, across America. In this episode, Rebeca Cuatro, MSN, FNP-C, sits down with one of her favorite patients to talk about what it really takes to perform at your best in your 50s and recover in time for the next city. They get candid about perimenopause, energy, and the integrative approach they built together, including peptides, IV vitamin therapy, bioidentical hormone optimization, ozone, and PRP for her neck and shoulder pain. Princess also shares her own tour survival kit, from skipping late-night food to yoga on the club floor. Plus: how she found Rejuvenate by walking past the sign, and why she believes combining medical and holistic care is “the magic.” Follow Princess Superstar on Instagram @princesssuperstar and TikTok @therealprincesssuperstar.

Sobriety, IV therapy, and hormones: how replenishing your body may help you stay sober. Rebeca Cuatro, MSN, FNP-C, is joined by Christina Simos, CEO of Friendly House, and Katherine Wentworth, founder of Design2Manifest, Friendly House board member, also known as DJ Katie Otro. What if part of staying sober is simply feeling better in your body? In this episode, Rebeca Cuatro, MSN, FNP-C, sits down with two powerhouse women: Christina Simos, CEO of Friendly House, the longest running women’s nonprofit recovery and sober living community in Los Angeles, and Katherine Wentworth, founder of Design2Manifest, Friendly House board member, also known as DJ Katie Otro. Together they explore how alcohol, stress, sugar, antibiotics, and even everyday pesticides can deplete key nutrients like magnesium and the B vitamins, and why that depletion may leave people in early recovery feeling exhausted, anxious, and at greater risk of relapse. Rebeca breaks down what’s in a Myers cocktail IV, why pairing it with an infrared sauna session helps the body detox and replenish at the same time, and how gut health, leaky gut, and candida can affect cravings and mood. Christina and Kat also share their own recovery stories and get candid about perimenopause, hormone pellet therapy, and why this stage of life can be a welcome return to who we really are, without the suffering our mothers and grandmothers went through.

What happens when the practitioner becomes the patient?

Here's the Spotify description for Episode 2, matching the narrative style of Episode 1's: Welcome back to the Rejuvenate Wellness Podcast. In this episode, host Rebeca Cuatro, MSN, FNP-C sits down with Kari Fraser, best known for originating the role of Dixie Cooney on All My Children, to talk about her remarkable second act. Four and a half years ago, Kari was about 20 pounds heavier, spending her days on the couch with a bag of chips and daytime television. Today, at 63, she's boxing four days a week, deadlifting twice a week, and living proof that age is just a number. Kari opens up about how hormone replacement therapy, consistent liver detoxing, and IV nutrient therapies at Rejuvenate transformed her energy, mental clarity, and confidence, and how that transformation gave her the courage to reopen a door to acting and public speaking she thought had long closed. Rebeca and Kari talk candidly about hormone therapy myths, the role the liver plays in overall health, spotting nutritional deficiencies through the eyes, tongue, and skin, and why true wellness is about adding life to your years, not just years to your life. It's a conversation about discipline, reinvention, and what's possible in your second act.

Welcome to the Rejuvenate Wellness Podcast — where we look beyond symptoms to explore the bigger picture of what it means to feel, function, and look your best. In this first episode, host Rebeca Cuatro, MSN, FNP-C, a triple board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner, opens up about her personal journey — from immigrating to the U.S. from El Salvador as a young child fleeing civil war, to becoming a first-generation college graduate who navigated nursing school, marriage, and early motherhood all at once. Rebeca shares how she built her career in the ER, spent a decade at Kaiser Permanente across emergency and urgent care, and earned her Family Nurse Practitioner degree in 2012 while raising three young children. She traces the turning point that reshaped her approach to medicine: discovering The Magnesium Miracle by Dr. Carolyn Dean, which sparked a deeper curiosity about nutrient deficiencies and root-cause health. That curiosity led her, alongside her husband, to found Rejuvenate Wellness & Health Center in 2018, and eventually to leave Kaiser in 2022 to focus on it full time. Rebeca reflects on how her path into IV nutrition, hormone optimization, peptides, ozone therapy, PRP, and aesthetics grew out of a simple realization: healing the body means understanding what it's missing, not just managing what's wrong.
