Today's podcast, Laurena was interviewed by Philip Watkins N.D. from The INL Podcast.
Laurena spoke about how she went from conventional cosmetic practice to embracing a more holistic approach to skincare.
Laurena's first tool in her toolbox - a very comprehensive questionnaire!
Stokes and Pillsbury coined the term gut-skin axis in 2011)
How food impacts our gut diversity and the health of our intestinal barrier, which then impacts on neuroinflammation and the relevance of Substance P in skin health
Observational studies on acne & sugar; eczema & dairy; psoriasis & gluten; rosacea & spicy food, but there's also a lot of individuality in response, hence it's important to review all your symptoms comprehensively
Why sleep, minimising sugary foods and drinks (including artificial sweeteners), drinking water and regular bowel movement are important for skin health.
Then the geeky part - different kinds of microorganisms that can affect skin health; clinical signs and symptoms related to skin conditions; immune-modulating therapies and various peptides for skin conditions.
And finally, Dr. Laurena's best tips for great skin (hint: they're free!)
