We’re all familiar with obesity being linked to issues such as heart disease, diabetes, and high blood pressure but the skin consequences of obesity remain inadequately discussed.

In this episode, I’m delighted to be chatting with dermatologist Dr. Cris Berlingeri, who helps us understand how weight intersects with certain skin conditions, as well as problems with hair and nails.

If you are someone that has wondered about how hair loss is linked to weight loss, how the skin changes when you lose weight, and how you can best take care of yourself during weight loss from a dermatologic standpoint, this conversation will answer it all.
