Biohacking with Brittany

Today I have Dr. Erin Yuet Tjam the author of Skin Sobering: 99% of Products Age and Harm Your Skin. For over 35 years, Erin read, researched, and experimented about anything she could find on skin. Publishing a “skin-deep” book beats writing scientific articles that are lucky to get 50 readers. Erin would be happy if she could get all her kids and future grandkids to do skin sobering.
