Join Emily as she is joined by fellow FDN-P, Ariana Juarez. Emily and Ariana discuss melasma from a functional lens; melasma is misunderstood in modern dermatology and Ariana works to uncover the underlying drivers of melasma for those who struggle with it, through the power of functional labs.
Ariana Juarez, FDN-P, is the founder of Alura Wellness and creator of the Metabolic Beauty Code™ framework. After spending more than a decade researching melanocytes and searching for answers to her own struggles with melasma, Ariana discovered that pigmentation is often influenced by far more than sun exposure alone. Today, she specializes in helping women uncover the metabolic, hormonal, immune, and gut-related factors that may be driving their chronic skin conditions. Through her work, Ariana challenges conventional beliefs about melasma and teaches that your skin is a metabolic report card and that melasma may be one of the most fascinating case studies for understanding skin aging and longevity.
