Ever feel a little something was missing in your derm education? You’re not alone. This week, we’re joined by Dr. Jesse Schwartzberg as she walks us through a variety of integrative dermatology approaches. Listen in as she discusses the importance of patient histories, the most effective tests for derm conditions, and how to balance curiosity and expertise. Each Thursday, join Dr. Raja and Dr. Hadar, board-certified dermatologists, as they share the latest evidence-based research in integrative dermatology.

Dr. Jesse Schwartzberg is a board-certified dermatologist with over 21 years of experience and founder of Skin Project in Mexico City. Her clinical and aesthetic practice evolved into an integrative dermatology model after completing the AFMCP program through the Institute for Functional Medicine in 2023, the Root Cause Dermatology course in 2024, and the LearnSkin program in 2025–2026. A former Vice President of the Mexican College of Dermatology and frequent national speaker, she most recently presented at IMCAS Paris in January 2026. She provides comprehensive 30-minute consultations and incorporates advanced laboratory testing, including GI-MAP, DUTCH, heavy metals, and Organix, to identify root causes of skin disease, applying the philosophy that true aesthetic results begin with optimizing overall health.

Dr. Hadar Lev-Tov is a board-certified dermatologist with extensive research experience. Throughout his training and in daily practice, he has always believed that the key to achieving health for his patients is grounded in his ability to truly connect to their experiences and perceptions of health and well-being. Maimonides, one of the greatest philosophers of all time realized that human knowledge, often represented as "science," is limited. As a physician, he feels he would be a fool to believe all is known. Maimonides said, "The physician should not treat the disease but the patient who is suffering from it." LearnSkin is his journey to a better understanding of his patients.

He is an Adjunct Associate Professor of Clinical Dermatology at the University of California, Davis and Director of Clinical Research and the Clinical Trials Unit.He is also an Adjunct Assistant Professor in the Department of Biological Sciences at the California State University, Sacramento and an Associate Professor of Dermatology at California Northstate University, College of Medicine.He engages in clinical practice as well as both clinical and translational research that integrates bioengineering, nutrition, cosmetics, and skin biology. With training in both Allopathic and Ayurvedic medicine, he takes an integrative approach to his patients and in his research.He has published over 100 peer-reviewed research manuscripts, 10 textbook chapters, and a textbook entitled Cosmeceuticals and Active Cosmetics, 3rd Edition with a passion for expanding the evidence and boundaries of integrative medicine for skin care.
