Skin Nutrition 101: Mecca hired naturopaths — here’s why they also need a dietitian
Skin health isn’t just about serums, supplements, herbal remedies or (non-evidence based) intolerance tests. It’s often a reflection of what’s happening inside your body, and that’s where nutrition plays a huge role. In this episode, we unpack why beauty retailers like Mecca are bringing in wellness professionals, and why dietitians should be part of the future of skin health. Inside, you’ll learn: The dietary patterns linked to acne, dull skin, and inflammation When collagen supplementation actually works (and when it doesn’t) The essential nutrients for skin repair, glow, and hydration Gut health, antioxidants, and Omega-3s: why they matter My personal skin journey and what finally worked Whether you’ve struggled with breakouts, skin flares, or just want to support your glow from the inside out — this episode will show you how nutrition can be your secret weapon.
