About

The mind and skin are intimately entangled. If you've ever blushed from embarrassment, you know that your skin can reflect what you're feeling inside. It makes sense, then, that emotional trouble might show up as skin trouble. Although cause and effect can be difficult to pin down, considerable data suggest that at least in some people, stress and other psychological factors can activate or worsen certain skin conditions. The bond between skin and mind has deep roots, going back at least as far as skin-to-skin contact between newborn and mother. From topical outbreaks like cold sores to the ever-so-common condition of adult acne, your mind is likely a major culprit behind them. The skin is the most noticeable part of our body that could be impacted by psychological factors. Is this a new phenomenon? Or are we just beginning to understand the very real effects stress has on our minds and bodies? In this week's podcast episode, Marni will be speaking with Dr Kiera Barr. Dr. Barr is a prominent leader in women’s medicine – creating a bridge between hormones, skin and mind-body medicine to optimise women’s mid-life experience.
