If you’ve clicked on this episode, chances are you’re interested in skin health. So, before you press play, make sure you listen to part 1 of this conversation, and then come back.

Welcome back, we are SO excited for more Dr Thivi deliciousness.

Did you know that 90% of dermatologists and dermatology nurses are asked questions about food and skin health, but only 10% feel confident answering them?

Dr Thivi discovered this in her clinical work as a dermatologist, so she decided it was time to go back to school. And for skin lovers, this is truly a match made in heaven. 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!

In this episode, Lyndi and Dr Thivi clarify the confusion around common diet trends and their impact on skin health.

The reality of disordered eating in wellness culture has seen restrictive eating patterns spike as people attempt to take charge of skin conditions like eczema, acne, psoriasis, and rosacea.

But what is the science telling us and how should we be eating?

From the infamous keto rash, the drawbacks of juice cleanses, how to supplement a vegan diet, maintaining hair health, menopause and even the potential issues of going gluten-free. The world of skin care is filled with diet myths.

Ps. If you've listened to the episode and want more information about the Rene Furterer hair tonic, we've got you.
