“Everything is internal. I almost feel like it's irresponsible of me to not offer that information when somebody asks me what product they should use on their face.

“Your health can handle the truth, but it can’t handle lies. That basically means that no matter what you tell yourself, your body knows the truth,” says fitness expert Tracy Anderson, founder of the TA Method. “I'd like to think that we all come into this world primed for wellness and wellbeing.

“It’s very hard to translate this message of, ‘You need to be healthy because that’s how you become your best self.’ That’s a very vague concept. But it’s very easy to help people understand that your hormones are driving your behavior, and if we get your hormones on track, then the rest will unfold the way it’s supposed to unfold in your life,” says board-certified integrative medicine physician Taz Bhatia, M.D., author of the new book The Hormone Shift.

“Sometimes people want the most aggressive drug that can clear up [their skin condition] in three days. But other times people really want advice about the lifestyle choices that can impact their chronic condition,” says board-certified integrative dermatologist Apple Bodemer, M.D. “Looking at the skin as separate from every other organ is one of the biggest mistakes from a medical standpoint. The skin is a reflection of what’s going on inside. Compartmentalizing doesn't help patients.” In this episode of Clean Beauty School, mindbodygreen beauty director and host Alexandra Engler chats with Bodemer about how loneliness impacts your overall health, the importance of sleep for skin, and how to heal your skin through gut.

“When we age our whole body ages. What happens is our cells just get tired and stop working as well as they used to. The hair follicle is no different,” says board-certified dermatologist Neera Nathan, M.D. “It’s a collection of cells, and after a while they start to deplete. Eventually our hair follicles just aren’t as able to grow hair as well, just as our skin isn’t quite as able to regenerate collagen the way it did when it was younger.” In this episode of Clean Beauty School, mindbodygreen beauty director and host Alexandra Engler chats with Nathan about how nutrition affects hair health, how to reverse graying, common causes of thinning, and more. Show notes:-Learn more about Neera Nathan, M.D. -Research about the hair growth cycle -Hair loss causes according to research -Chronic increased cortisol levels can lead to hair loss-One study shows that you can reverse graying-Read more about topics mentioned in this episode: hair growth tips, brow growth, lash growth, how to thicken hair, hair loss triggers, receding hairline, normal hair shedding vs loss, stress related hair loss, stress management practices, iron, vitamin d, vitamins for hair growth, silicone in hair care, turmeric benefits, dry shampoo, how often should you wash your hair, microneedling, PRP, caring for graying hair. -Shop products mentioned in this episode: Vegamour GRO Dry ShampooTake 25% off vitamin C potency+ with code VITAMINCPOD.

“Wellness practices can feel overwhelming. One thing I’ve learned is that I don’t need an endless long list of things to actually make me feel good,” says celebrity fitness instructor Megan Roup, founder The Sculpt Society. “It’s very simple: Romanticizing my life a bit more. Savoring that cup of coffee in the morning. Getting up a bit earlier. Taking 5 minutes for meditation or a walk outside.
