Derm Approved

Today I'm joined by Siff Haider, co-founder of Arrae, host of the Dream Bigger podcast, and new mom. We discuss why she went back to work 10 days after giving birth and how prioritizing her recovery made that possible. Then we get into one of my favorite topics: supplements. Siff shares how she got into the business, her top three to take, and the importance of creatine. We finish with beauty and postpartum skin: pregnancy eczema, whether you can use retinol while breastfeeding, how peptides and azelaic acid can fill in when you can't use retinol, and treatments we both love, like microneedling with PRP.

Today we’re speaking with Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi, one of the most well-known OBGYNs in the country, to talk about everything I see overlap between her world and mine. We get into adult acne and how often it's undiagnosed PMOS (the updated term for PCOS), the labs she runs that most doctors skip, and why insulin resistance is often the root cause. We also cover her honest take on GLP-1s and birth control–and she lets us know when it's time to talk to your doctor about perimenopause and HRT. We close on something close to her heart: her own breast cancer diagnosis and why knowing your lifetime risk matters more than family history alone.
