In today's show, we are talking about how dancing can lift our mood, reduce our stress levels and improve our skin. So whether you are a dancing queen at weddings or if you daily dance around your kitchen, I wanted to explore the benefits of dancing, and I was so excited to speak with Kristin Sudeikis, who is an artistic director, choreographer, master teacher, dancer, producer and the founder of the epic Forward Space Dance Studio in New York City.

Kristin's work has reached thousands around the globe, and she has proved how powerful dance can be, both for the mind, body and skin. The physical movements of dance have been shown to reduce levels of stress, anxiety and depression. Much like aerobic exercise, dance provides relief from stress and tension. So today I am speaking to Kristen about this amazing physical exercise which elevates our dopamine and endorphins to neurotransmitters responsible for feelings of pleasure and happiness, and why we should all be incorporating dance into our schedules every day.

I am thrilled to be joined today by Professor Selena Bartlett. Professor Bartlett is a world renowned neuroscientist at the Queensland University of Technology. She is a widely published author and a commentator on addiction, obesity and changing mindset. She is also the host of the brilliant Thriving Minds podcast where she looks at neuroplasticity and how we can take advantage of our brilliant biology to thrive in life when we are faced with adversity.

As we all know, stress can affect us both mentally and physically but can especially affect our skin. I was researching the impact of cold water therapy when I stumbled across Professor Bartlett’s article on cold showers and became so inspired to try it. While at first it’s a shock to the system, I felt so empowered once I did it. I wanted to speak to Professor Bartlett today to discuss the benefits cold water exposure can have on both our mind and skin.

Many of us will be feeling challenged and stressed right now, but one of the easiest ways to reduce stress is by getting out into nature. In today’s episode, I am delighted to be talking to Florence Williams, who is a journalist, bestselling author, podcaster and a contributing editor for Outside magazine. Her book, The Nature Fix, was an Audible bestseller and was named a top summer read by JP Morgan.

I’m excited to speak to Florence today about why nature is so important for managing our stress better, what actually happens to our brain when we are outdoors and if there is a connection between spending time in nature and the quality of our skin.

In this episode, we are diving into Dr Gail Saltz's thoughts on how seasonal change affects our stress levels and therefore our skin. Seasonal stress is a topic which is very under-discussed and sometimes we don’t quite understand why it’s happening to us or how it indirectly impacts our skin.

Today, we will be discussing how the change in seasons affects how we feel. I ask Dr Gail whether SAD lights really work, whether underexposure to sunlight makes us less resilient to stress and why spending time outside is good for both our mental health and skin health.

Today I am delighted to be joined by one of my favorite speakers in the mental health world, Dr Ellen Vora. Dr Ellen is a board certified psychiatrist, acupuncturist, yoga teacher and author of the book, The Anatomy of Anxiety.

She takes a functional medicine approach to mental health and works to uncover the root of the problem. We all know that life these days is full of anxiety, whether it’s feeling pressured at work or because of our under exposure to sunlight.

Today I am very excited to be talking to Chris Luckham, the education specialist at FOREO, the Swedish brand known for producing powerhouse skincare gadgets, to talk about all things skin and tech. The road towards embracing skin tech has been a rocky one and a lot of us have questioned whether at home devices can really match up to an in real life experience. But steady efforts in the tech arena have now provided tools that are intuitive and weave seamlessly into our lifestyles - all without having to leave our homes.

In this episode, Chris explains what skin care devices will enhance your skincare routine, why the results are much more effective and why it's equally as important for both the mind and skin to slow down and make more time for self-care.

I am thrilled to be joined today by a fabulous new voice in skincare, Alicia Lartey, who is on a mission to bring impartial skin care advice, knowledge and understanding to a new generation. The scientist and aesthetician has carved a niche for herself on Instagram as one of beauty's most personable, straightforward and knowledgeable skincare experts.

Today I am speaking to Alicia about the relationship between skin and shame. Shame is a negative emotion that has been shown to cause psychosocial distress in patients with various skin disorders. Alicia explains that society should be blamed for creating this idea of ‘normal skin’ and encourages us to take steps to feel empowered even when we have skin imperfections. Alicia’s outlook on skin is refreshing to say the least and I can’t wait for you all to hear this episode!

On today’s episode we are diving into the science and truth behind topical skin disorder. In this episode I'm speaking to Gina Marí who is a skincare expert with a unique approach to skin renewal and preservation. At the forefront of the ever-growing and evolving world of skincare, science and technology, she was named “Top Celebrity Facialist in Los Angeles” by Allure Magazine and specializes in leaving her clients with radiant, flawless and healthy skin.

Topical skin disorders have a huge psychological effect on the person experiencing them and psychological factors can often influence the severity of the disorder. This delicate connection affects many people and studies have shown that rosacea affects 16 million Americans and 85 percent of people between the ages of 12 and 24 experience at least minor acne. Given the growing problem and arguably significant lack of awareness and conversation about this, I am honoured to be speaking to Gina Mari to find out how we should be approaching our topical skin disorders in a more mindful way.
