Did you know that what you eat can directly impact how your skin ages—from elasticity to hydration and even inflammation?

In this dynamic panel from the 2024 Integrative Dermatology Symposium, Dr. Raja Sivamani moderates a case-based discussion on nutrition and aging skin health featuring a dermatologist, Ayurvedic practitioner, registered dietitian, naturopathic doctor, and culinary expert.

Plus, Chef Kimber Dean demonstrates three delicious, skin-supportive recipes—pumpkin alfredo spaghetti squash, purple potato overnight oats & seeds, and a no-bake chocolate banana oat bar—with expert commentary on their clinical relevance and skin benefits.
