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.

For access to CE/CME courses, become a member at LearnSkin.com. Jen Newell, ND, founder of Connected Health & Skin, spent over a decade in the skincare world and saw a significant gap in what was being offered. That gap revolved around health and beauty rarely being associated with one another—their connection was being overlooked by both industries. Additionally, she noticed that anything to do with beauty was often marketed by preying on women's insecurities rather than offering support. She created Connected Health & Skin to offer a full-service, empowered approach to both health and beauty, integrating Naturopathic Medicine and aesthetics in a supportive, safe, inclusive environment. The team at Connected works together to address both the internal and underlying causes of skin concerns, while the aesthetics team delivers customized facials and treatments to address the external factors and support skin health.
