What if your body isn’t “getting in the way”… but trying to protect your success? In BizBlend, hosted by Sana, Dr. Mireille Vega shares why the signals you keep pushing past—skin flare-ups, low sleep, wired stress—often carry real information. This episode is for high-performers, founders, and leaders who feel “fine” on the outside but notice patterns underneath.

About the Guest:Dr. Mireille Vega is a PhD biochemist, former biotech executive, and founder/CEO behind her work in Skin Science 3.0.
