Join us on Skin Anarchy as Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with Theresa Plavoukos, founder of Fat Mermaid, for a deep dive into beauty that begins from within. With over 25 years of experience spanning L’Oréal, Estée Lauder, and luxury fragrance development, Theresa shares how her extensive background in product innovation inspired her to create a collagen supplement that’s as fun as it is effective.

Discover the science behind liquid marine collagen—the most bioavailable form for hair, skin, and nail health. Theresa explains how its low molecular weight allows for quick absorption and superior efficacy compared to traditional powders or bovine formulas. The result: visible improvements in skin glow and hair strength without the guesswork or mess.

The brand’s playful name, Fat Mermaid, reflects its philosophy: lush, vibrant beauty fueled by nutrient-rich support. Behind the whimsical branding is serious science, with every batch produced in FDA-inspected, GMP-certified facilities and third-party tested for purity and amino acid transparency.

Designed for real life, Fat Mermaid’s collagen is unflavored, versatile, and easy to use. Whether you add it to coffee, smoothies, or take it as a one-ounce shot, its built-in dosing cup ensures the perfect clinically recommended amount every time.

This episode is your insider look at how Theresa merges rigorous clinical standards with approachable, joyful design—proving that inner beauty can be both efficacious and delightful. Tune in to hear how Fat Mermaid is making bioavailable beauty effortless and inspiring.
