   BTB: Jane Wilkens Michael: The Skin We’re In

   Overcoming Chronic Skin Challenges - On today’s show, Jane welcomes Dr. Saakshi Khattri, a triple board-certified dermatologist, rheumatologist and internist, as well as the Director of the Center for Connective Tissue Diseases at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Her expertise includes autoimmune and inflammatory conditions, including psoriatic disease, where dermatology and rheumatology often intersect. Joining the conversation is [patient] Michelle Rayburn, whose psoriasis rapidly progressed to psoriatic arthritis. Sudden exhaustion and joint pain reshaped Michelle's daily life, yet her experience became one of resilience, self-advocacy, and reclaiming what matters most. Michelle reflects on her personal treatment journey with BIMZELX, an FDA-approved biologic injectable medicine, and the meaningful impact it has had. Together, they explore navigating a chronic diagnosis, asking informed questions, and finding hope beyond the hardest days. Dr. Khattri also offers practical guidance for maintaining healthy, comfortable skin at every age, including three simple habits. It’s an inspiring conversation about learning from those who have found a path forward—and discovering how to build a life that is Better Than Before, one day at a time.

   A talk with trailblazing author Michael Gross - Jane's very special guest today is Michael Gross, the New York Times best-selling author of acclaimed books that explore the hidden worlds of wealth, power, privilege, and the people who shape them. With a career spanning decades in investigative journalism and social history, his celebrated works—including 740 Park, House of Outrageous Fortune, Rogues' Gallery, Focus, and Flight of the WASP—have earned him a reputation for uncovering the untold stories behind America's most influential families, institutions, and cultural icons.

Filled with unforgettable characters, hidden history, and surprising revelations, Michael's latest masterpiece is a fascinating exploration of the intersection of wealth, fame, ambition, and paradise. Among the many topics discussed, Michael also reflects on who first inspired him to become a journalist and author, the advice he offers aspiring writers, what drew him from reporting on fashion and real estate to chronicling old-money families, and now the allure of St. Barts. He also shares what continues to fascinate and motivate him after an extraordinary career. All in all, it's a captivating conversation with one of the world's most prolific and respected authors.
