The Model Health Show

Description

Your skin is an important organ that acts as a barrier, helps regulate your temperature, and plays a role in a variety of other functions. And because your skin is the outermost part of your body, skin issues can often be an indicator of what’s happening in other parts of the body. Taking care of your skin and understanding its needs can help you look and feel better. On this compilation episode of The Model Health Show, you’re going to hear from two incredible physicians who are experts on skin health and skincare. You’re going to learn from Dr. Trevor Cates and Dr. Anthony Youn on how to get your best skin ever. We’re going to cover the skin microbiome, the role of nutrition for overall skin health, and practical skincare tips you can implement for healthier skin. You’re also going to learn how your skin can clue you in to other health conditions, the role hormones play in regulating your skin, and the truth about collagen. This episode is packed with simple tools to improve your skin, from inside and outside. Enjoy!
