Episode 19: Acne, Aging, and Healing Your Skin with Emma Sgourakis
Emma Sgourakis is a certified nutritionist who has been in practice for over 15 years. We like to think of her as the Aussie trailblazer in all things Ray Peat-inspired nutrition. Emma and our friend Kitty Blomfield founded the company Saturée, which is an Australian-based pro-metabolic supplement & skincare company. In honor of the long-awaited release of their skincare products, we brought Emma on to ask her how our skin tells the story of our inner health. She ended up giving us a skin health 101 mini course, and you might need to listen to this episode more than once to soak it all in!
