CONTENT AND LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Nutrition and its role in skin health is an area that isn’t covered in either Nutrition and Dietetics or Dermatology training, and as a result there is a great deal of misinformation present online. This webinar explores the current evidence base on the role of nutrition in general skin and hair health, common skin conditions such as acne, eczema, psoriasis, and the role of the Gut-Skin Axis.
The skin is the largest organ in the body, yet most people underestimate its importance for overall health and wellbeing. However, there is a lot of interest in how what we eat can impact both skin health, and appearance.
As the UK’s only dual qualified Dermatologist and Nutritionist, Dr Thivi Maruthappu has pioneered understanding of nutrition and skin health. In this webinar, Dr Maruthappu will cover the current evidence, including novel research from her research group at King’s College London on nutrition and psoriasis.
We’ll cover:
- The role of diet for skin and hair health
- The emerging role of the gut-skin axis
- Nuanced nutrition for common skin conditions such as acne
- Supplement do’s and don’ts
& much more!
We’re also joined by Teena Mackenzie, from the British Dermatological Nursing Group, to chair and guide discussions during the session.
