Lytt til The Beauty Voice of Reason

Dr. Roshini Raj works as a gastroenterologist, often witnessing the life-changing impact probiotics in your diet and supplements have on your internal health. Her patients not only felt better, but their skin seemed to be glowing. So, in 2014 she decided to apply her medical knowledge to skincare with the goal of restoring confidence. Megan asks about the pioneering research that prompted Dr. Raj to delve into the beauty world, she shares her fascination with the Microbiome and its teaming community of bacteria and other organisms that live inside the gut; and her background as an author, entrepreneur, medical editor, mum, health correspondent - and how she fits it all in. Dr. Raj strives to take the guesswork out of skincare, describing her products as a smoothie for your skin: it makes perfect sense that TULA means ‘balance’ in Sanskrit. * @lionne.co [https://www.instagram.com/lionne.co/] on Instagram * @TheBeautyVoiceOfReason [https://www.tiktok.com/@thebeautyvoiceofreason] on TikTok * @Tula [https://www.instagram.com/tula/] on Instagram

Dawn Russell founded 8Greens out of necessity – after receiving a cancer diagnosis at 25, she learnt the incomparable power of greens and wanted to share her knowledge and the health benefits of Phytonurtients.

Together they bust the idea of 8Greens as an overnight success, having just appeared on The Drew Barrymore show and The Today show and on Oprah's “Favorite Things” holiday list,  Dawn reveals the months of work and 264 prototypes that came before what we see now. * @lionne.co [https://www.instagram.com/lionne.co/] on Instagram * @TheBeautyVoiceOfReason [https://www.tiktok.com/@thebeautyvoiceofreason] on TikTok * @dawnarussell [https://www.instagram.com/dawnarussell/] on instagram * @8greens [https://www.instagram.com/8greens/] on Instagram
