Why Your Skin Isn’t Healing: The Gut, Hormone & Inflammation Connection

Dr. Hyman and dermatologist Mamina Turegano discuss how skin reflects internal health, focusing on the connections between gut health, hormones, and inflammation. They explore how mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to skin aging and how urolithin A may help, the role of insulin resistance in acne, the impact of menopause on skin, and the surprising benefit of strength training for skin thickness. The conversation emphasizes addressing root causes rather than just treating symptoms, and highlights basic skincare priorities like sun protection before advanced treatments.
