#MyNutriBooks @MyNutriWeb

There is a lot of interest in how what we eat can impact skin health and appearance, but a great deal of misinformation is present online. In this MyNutriBookClub, we’ll read and review the book, ‘Skin Food: Your 4-step Solution to Healthy, Happy Skin’ authored by the UK’s only dual qualified Dermatologist and Nutritionist, Dr Thivi Maruthappu.

‘Skin Food’ is the first book to bring evidence-based nutrition to the management of common skin conditions, separating fact from fiction. It is easy to read and has been reviewed by a team of dietitians for scientific accuracy. Therefore it is not only ideal for healthcare professionals, but also members of the general public who would like to gain a greater understanding of the impact of nutrition on skin health.

The book includes chapters dedicated to nutrition covering:

  • Nutrients that nourish the skin
  • The gut:skin connection
  • The SkinFood approach
  • Nutrition for specific skin concerns
  • Eczema, food allergies and intolerances
    + over 45 vibrant recipes to support skin health!

We’ll be hosting a live, interactive session on 24th October 2023, 8-9PM to discuss the book and highlight key learnings for practice, followed by a live Q&A with the author, Dr Thivi Maruthappu.

Purchase your copy of the book ahead of the live session and join our MyNutriBookClub community group on LinkedIn to get involved in book discussions and share your progress with others.
