Right now, our skin is like a superhero doing some incredible stuff. 

It's a temperature controller and a pollution shield, plus it's our touchy-feely sidekick, letting us feel things like soft blankets and high-fives.

But wait, there’s more...

If we hurt ourselves, our skin goes into action mode. It's like a magical repair shop, fixing cuts and scrapes and making itself all shiny and new again.

But like so many things, the way we think about our skin has been impacted by wellness wankery.

Even though our skin can do all these amazing things, people often only care about how it looks.

Dr Thivi Maruthappu is the UK’s first and only dual-qualified dermatologist and nutritionist who has developed the SkinFood approach for skin health. She has developed a holistic approach for taking care of our skin, minus any wellness wankery. Perfect for us!

Face lotions and serums have a role to play in our skin health, but what you put in your mouth really does show on the outside.

Enter Dr Thivi’s brilliant phrase… Berries before botox.

Dr Thivi and Lyndi chat about how our skin is a telltale of our physical and emotional health, communicating signs of stress, anxiety, and even nutrient deficiencies. Plus, the mind-skin connection, the importance of hydration and what supplements are worth our time (and more importantly our money).

Oh and of course. Get ready for a whole lot of evidence-based information around collagen and bone broth.
