Hormonal Health: How to Balance Body, Skin and Mind

The effect of hormones is all-encompassing. They impact the behaviour of our skin, the density of our hair, where we hold weight, our mood and even how we sleep at night. So how can we better understand our body chemicals – and embrace the road ahead with confidence?

This insightful conversation brought together an authoritative panel – including hormone expert, Dr Martin Galy; aesthetic doctor and regenerative specialist, Dr Suha Kersh; and GP and women’s health advocate, Dr Carla Saour – to explore proven ways to support skin, body and mind during periods of hormonal disruption or change.

From new advancements in female health, to the rise of modern weight loss medications and the role of hormonal replacement therapy, we discovered safe and sustainable solutions to restoring a sense of self – both inside and out.
