    “I have worked with so many women who, at one point in time, felt that their voice was not being heard—so instead, it was their skin that started to visibly shout. The body wanted to be heard in one way another,” says board-certified and mindbodygreen collective member dermatologist Keira Barr, M.D. “I cannot tell you how many times I have seen that experience where there is a connection between unmet needs and what is showing up on the surface.” In this episode of Clean Beauty School, mindbodygreen beauty director and host Alexandra Engler chats with Barr about the brain-skin connection, how the nervous system influences our appearance, and how trauma can trigger skin concerns.

    156: The most important clean swaps to make | Lindsay Dahl, sustainability & consumer protections expert
    Jun 25 2024
    “Any issue that becomes a lighting rod means it’s powerful. ‘Clean’ is a term that people now debate. Some people love it. Some people hate it. But to me, clean living is just about making choices that are good for people and the planet. Simple as that. And I don’t think there’s any superiority to the term, either,” says sustainability and consumer protection expert Lindsay Dahl, Chief Impact Officer at Ritual. In this episode of Clean Beauty School, mindbodygreen beauty director Alexandra Engler chats with Dahl about her decades-long career fighting for consumer protection, how to spot greenwashing red flags, and why radical traceability is the future of the well-being space.

    154: The best nutrients for skin health | Glenicia Nosworthy M.D., internal medicine physician
    May 7 2024
    “When we are doing aesthetic treatments that are increasing collagen and elastin production, you have to consider, ‘What do cells need to make collagen and elastin?’ They need great forms of nutrients, proteins, and building blocks,” says internal medicine physician Glenicia Nosworthy M.D., who specializes in aesthetic and integrative medicine. “I can inject you with anything that's going to stimulate the cell. But if the cell is not getting the nourishment or the nutrients that it needs to function properly, then your response is going to be very minimal. And you're going to be paying for multiple treatments and you're not going to get maximum results.” In this episode of Clean Beauty School, mindbodygreen beauty director and host Alexandra Engler chats with Nosworthy about platelet rich fibrin treatments, how to boost collagen production, and what nutrients to focus on for skin health.
