Living with a chronic illness can change every aspect of life, but it doesn't have to define your future. In this episode of That's Derm Good!, Janelle Ball sits down with Brandi Foreman, softball enthusiast, entrepreneur, and passionate patient advocate, to share her deeply personal journey of living with Hidradenitis Suppurativa (HS) and Type 2 diabetes.

For years, skincare has focused on treating symptoms—but what if the future of healthy skin is about giving your body the right signals instead?

In this episode of That's Derm Good!, host Janelle Ball sits down with Natalie Novak and Ron Webb, the founders of Kindness Powered Skincare (KPS), to explore a completely different way of thinking about skincare. Natalie shares how her experience working with oncology patients inspired her passion for creating products that support compromised skin, while Ron discusses his unique journey from aerospace engineering into skincare innovation.

Together, they explain the science behind nutrient signaling—the concept that carefully selected botanical ingredients can communicate with the skin to encourage healthier function rather than simply masking concerns. They also discuss why ingredient quality matters, the difference between food-grade and cosmetic-grade ingredients, and how scientific testing plays a critical role in developing effective skincare.

The conversation also explores today's biggest skincare trends, including antioxidants, exosomes, and the shift away from an "anti-aging" mindset toward pro-aging—supporting healthy, resilient skin throughout every stage of life. Whether you're a skincare enthusiast, healthcare professional, or simply looking for evidence-based ways to care for your skin, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on what's possible when science and nature work together.

Tune in to learn why the future of skincare may not be about doing more—but about giving your skin exactly what it needs to thrive.

Every prior authorization tells only part of the story.

In this episode of That's Derm Good!, Janelle Ball is joined by Tammy Bragg, an experienced biologic coordinator and passionate patient advocate, for an honest conversation about what really happens after an insurance approval. Together, they explore why today's biologic coordinator has become one of the most essential roles in dermatology—and why success is measured by patients starting and staying on therapy, not simply by obtaining an approval.

Tammy shares how she found her way into biologic coordination and explains why collaboration, networking, and continuous education have become critical as insurance requirements grow more complex. She discusses the challenges coordinators face every day, from changing payer policies and specialty pharmacy hurdles to affordability barriers and patient communication.

The conversation also dives into one of the biggest misconceptions in specialty medication access: prior authorization approval does not automatically mean a patient will receive treatment. Tammy and Janelle discuss the many obstacles that can occur after approval, including high out-of-pocket costs, delayed specialty pharmacy outreach, missed renewals, incomplete patient assistance applications, and the importance of proactive follow-up.

You'll also hear their perspective on how technology and AI are beginning to influence healthcare access, why patient education remains one of the strongest predictors of treatment success, and the qualities that separate exceptional biologic coordinators from the rest. Throughout the episode, Tammy reminds listeners that behind every approval is a patient counting on someone to help them navigate an increasingly complicated healthcare system.

Whether you're a biologic coordinator, medical assistant, nurse, practice manager, advanced practice provider, dermatologist, or anyone involved in specialty medication access, this episode is packed with practical insights and encouragement for improving patient outcomes while strengthening your own professional growth.

Off-label prescribing is one of the most valuable—and often misunderstood—tools in dermatology. In this episode of That's Derm Good!, Leigh Ann Pansch shares how thoughtful clinical reasoning, thorough documentation, and collaborative care can open new treatment opportunities for patients when standard options aren't enough.

Leigh Ann reflects on her journey from nursing into dermatology, discussing how mentorship, fellowship training, and a commitment to lifelong learning shaped her career. She explains why dermatology providers frequently prescribe medications beyond their FDA-approved indications and how these decisions are grounded in scientific evidence, clinical experience, and individualized patient care.

The conversation also explores the evolving relationship between providers, biologic coordinators, insurance companies, and pharmaceutical manufacturers. Leigh Ann offers practical advice on documenting medical necessity, communicating quality-of-life impacts, and navigating insurance approvals for both labeled and off-label therapies. Through real patient stories—including pediatric dermatology and alopecia cases—she demonstrates how collaboration across the healthcare team can improve access and ultimately change patients' lives.

Whether you're a dermatology provider, biologic coordinator, nurse, or healthcare professional interested in access and clinical decision-making, this episode provides valuable insight into balancing evidence, innovation, and patient-centered care.
