In episode 10 of BUILT DIFFERENT, Erin sits down with Dr. Kandace Kichler - board-certified physician, cosmetic surgeon, and founder of Slim Inc., a modern aesthetic and wellness practice focused on a more modern approach to beauty, weight loss, and longevity.
Known as The Slimming Surgeon, Dr. Kichler combines surgical expertise with cutting-edge treatments in body contouring, metabolic optimization, peptides, and regenerative medicine. She walks through everything from GLP-1 weight loss medications to minimally invasive skin tightening, explaining how the aesthetic industry is shifting toward treatments that work with the body rather than against it.
The conversation also dives into the business side of medicine - why Dr. Kichler built a boutique storefront in West Palm Beach, how the environment shapes the patient experience, and why privacy, personalization, and trust have become essential in modern aesthetic care.
Dr. Kichler’s journey - from farm girl to general surgeon to cosmetic innovator - is a masterclass in reinvention.
Her philosophy is simple: transformation isn’t just physical. It’s personal.
