239. Dr. Shawana Vali: Healing Skin from the Inside Out, Collagen Degradation & Skin Aging
The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka
Initial consultation: lifestyle & storytelling
Dr. Vali outlines key intake questions and how life stage and roles guide skin treatment decisions.
Your skin is screaming what your blood work is whispering. Dr. Shawana Vali transformed how I understand the visible signs of internal dysfunction, & it’s not what the beauty industry wants you to hear. Those wrinkles, breakouts, & pigmentation issues? They’re your body’s warning system telling you about adrenal fatigue, hormone imbalances, & inflammatory cascades happening deep in your tissues. Ready to look 5 years younger by treating the root cause instead of chasing symptoms?
