In today's episode I'm talking to Chloe Manlay, a fellow nutritional therapist who specialises in acne and skin health, helping women transform their skin from the inside out. This was such a great episode as we talked about how our everyday lives have such a profound effect on our skin - not just nutrition but sleep, stress and our environment. I know skin is often a problematic area for mums after giving birth so I know this is going to be one of those really eye-opening episodes. In our discussion we talked about: The link between the skin microbiome, gut health and the skin Skincare products and how they affect the skin microbiome How postpartum hormones and becoming a mother can change skin health Chloe's 3 pillar approach to addressing the root cause of acne and resolving problematic skin How becoming a mother can be seen as a crossroads to make a decision about your health and wellbeing 3 simple things you can do at home to start addressing your skin issues We also had a long chat about stress, self-care and sleep - how important they are for health, yet how difficult it can be to prioritise both as a new mother, and Chloe had some great tips on how to manage everyday life as a mother a little bit better to try and fit them in.
