43: Under Your Skin: Hormones And Skin with Dr. Trevor Cates

"The first step is to realize that you deserve to be healthy." - Dr. Trevor Cates

Your skin is your body's largest organ, and one of its most significant functions is protecting your body from the environment. The problem is that many of us are damaging that barrier function between the issues with our gut health and the things we put on our skin.

Today I'm joined by Dr. Trevor Cates, a naturopathic doctor specializing in skin health. Dr. Cates has helped patients, especially women, around the world improve their skin and hormones through a more natural approach. She believes everyone can enjoy graceful aging, a clear complexion, and natural beauty when they supplement their body with the right nourishment.

In this conversation, Dr. Cates and I discuss the importance of a holistic approach to skin health and hormone balance, the four key factors that can help with hormone imbalances, red flag ingredients to avoid in your skincare routine, and more. The right time to start thinking about your skin health is now. Enjoy the episode!
