What is the connection between sex hormones and skin health?
In this episode of The Food Medic Podcast, Dr Hazel Wallace, a women's health nutritionist, is joined by Dr Thivi Maruthappu, consultant dermatologist at Barts Health NHS Trust, to explore the intricate relationship between sex hormones (estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone) and skin health.
The episode covers:
How do hormonal changes during different life stages (menstrual cycle, pregnancy, menopause) affect the skin?
What role do hormones play in maintaining skin balance, and how can their fluctuations contribute to conditions like acne, rosacea, and eczema?
What specific skin issues are linked to conditions like PCOS, and how can they be managed?
What practical advice is given for managing hormone-related skin concerns, including skincare routines and lifestyle changes?
What is the scientific evidence behind collagen supplements for skin health?
What common myths about women’s health and hormones (especially around HRT) are addressed and debunked?
So, after hearing how hormones impact everything from breakouts to sensitivity, you might be rethinking how you approach your skin. What’s one thing you’ve learned from this episode that could change the way you care for your skin?
Stay up to date with the latest health advice, recipes, insights, and updates from Dr. Hazel Wallace and The Food Medic community.
