    Seeking balance from gut to cheek with Tula

    Seeking balance from gut to cheek with Tula

    Dr. Roshini Raj works as a gastroenterologist, often witnessing the life-changing impact probiotics in your diet and supplements have on your internal health. Her patients not only felt better, but their skin seemed to be glowing. So, in 2014 she decided to apply her medical knowledge to skincare with the goal of restoring confidence.

    Megan asks about the pioneering research that prompted Dr. Raj to delve into the beauty world, she shares her fascination with the Microbiome and its teaming community of bacteria and other organisms that live inside the gut; and her background as an author, entrepreneur, medical editor, mum, health correspondent - and how she fits it all in.

    Dr. Raj strives to take the guesswork out of skincare, describing her products as a smoothie for your skin: it makes perfect sense that TULA means ‘balance’ in Sanskrit.

    The ultimate hack to get more greens in your diet

    Dawn Russell founded 8Greens out of necessity – after receiving a cancer diagnosis at 25, she learnt the incomparable power of greens and wanted to share her knowledge and the health benefits of Phytonurtients. 

    Megan asks about Dawn’s mission to make greens accessible for everyone, beginning in Nordstrom making its way through Selfridges, Harrods and into Target.

    Together they bust the idea of 8Greens as an overnight success, having just appeared on The Drew Barrymore show and The Today show and on Oprah's “Favorite Things” holiday list,  Dawn reveals the months of work and 264 prototypes that came before what we see now.

    Don’t be afraid of your skin bacteria with Gallinée

    Dr Marie Drago dreamed of being a witch and creating potions when she grew up, but she ended up doing the closest thing – formulating her own skincare brand: Gallinée Microbiome Skincare. 

    Megan sits down with Marie to share her founding story, where a personal illness led to her lightbulb moment. They also share tips and tricks on how to look after your microbiome, how your gut affects your skin and why skin health is so much more than the products you put on your skin.

    Does ingestible beauty work?

    Does ingestible beauty work?

    As we get older, our bodies' collagen production slows. What does that mean for the skin? Less glow, loss of plumpness and signs of premature skin ageing.

    In this episode, Megan is joined by Anna Lahey, founder of the ingestible beauty brand Vida Glow to dive into the question, ‘Does ingestible beauty work?’ - and are they capable of giving us back the glow that we lose over the years?

    Anna shares how she discovered collagen, its benefits and how you can include this and other ingestible beauty solutions into your routine. Let’s put it this way, Megan (an ingestible sceptic) is now using Vida Glow in her daily routine. Listen along to learn why!
