What High-Quality Men Want and How Women Can Stand Out in Dating with Luxury Matchmaker Katy Clark

fieldswellstudios@gmail.com (Katy Clark, Ashley Jacobs, Kim Locker) — Wed, 12 Aug 2026 13:53:13 +0000

On Happy Hour with Kim and Ash, the hosts welcome Katy Clark, a luxury matchmaker at Cinq (cinq.com) who shares how she entered matchmaking after becoming a single mom and dating through multiple databases. Katy explains that great matchmaking relies on intuition, reading people, recruiting, and delivering tough feedback, and she discusses common client issues, including deal breakers and spotting “gold diggers.” She outlines what high-quality men look for—fit, fun, feminine, and kind—plus how labels can become premature red flags and why asking meaningful questions early matters. The conversation covers dating apps with her 80/20 rule, coaching clients to improve photos and presentation, and first-date guidance: men should lead with a plan, dress well, and pay; women should be soft, clear about interest, and use a three-date rule. Katy also addresses “boss babe” dating dynamics, age preferences, SoCal dating culture, and the value of a personal “glow up,” then closes with encouragement to stay steadfast, ask friends for introductions, and be open to flexibility and moving.

The Truth About Peptides, Hormones, & GLP-1s from Olympic Sports Medicine Expert Dr. Becca Rodriguez

fieldswellstudios@gmail.com (Dr. Becca Rodriguez, Ashley Jacobs, Kim Locker) — Wed, 12 Aug 2026 13:52:32 +0000

On Happy Hour with Kim and Ash, sports medicine physician Dr. Rebecca Rodriguez shares how her experience as medical director at the Rio 2016 Team USA high performance center and her current work with USA women’s rugby and water polo shaped her focus on recovery, hormones, and longevity. She explains how female athletes’ training and rehab can change across the menstrual cycle and discusses how the Women’s Health Initiative affected hormone education in medical schools, why HRT can be life-changing, and the importance of evidence-based, comprehensive lab testing and physician-led, customized plans. Dr. Rodriguez defines peptides as protein messengers, notes safety concerns (including with cancer history), and describes GLP-1 options (semaglutide and tirzepatide), benefits beyond weight loss, side-effect management, and why monitoring protein, exercise, and bone density matters. She also addresses teen peptide use, compares HGH vs CJC, and shares her practice details in Encinitas and via telehealth.
