Dr. Tiina Meder Episode 34

For decades, we believed that food doesn’t affect our skin, but science has finally proven us wrong.

In this episode, I explore the gut–skin connection, explaining how the bacteria living in our gut influence inflammation, aging, and skin conditions like acne, rosacea, and eczema. I also share the fascinating new research showing how the gut can support hormonal balance during menopause, becoming a “second ovary” that protects collagen, hydration, and elasticity naturally. From diet and vitamin D to inflammation and microbiome health, I explain how small daily habits can create radiant, healthy skin, from the inside out.
