About this episode
Dr Louise Newson and Dr Sajjad Rajpar discuss the relationship between hormones and skin health, including the effects of declining hormone levels on collagen and overall well-being.
So many women notice changes in their skin and hair duringtimes of hormonal change, yet hormones are rarely discussed as part of the conversation. In this episode, Dr Louise Newson is joined by consultantdermatologist Dr Sajjad Rajpar to explore the powerful relationship between hormones, skin health and ageing. Together they discuss why the skin is far more than just appearance, how declining hormone levels can affect collagen, wound healing, inflammation and hair health, and why skin changes may actually reflect what is happening inside the body too. The episode also explores the wider health implications ofcollagen loss, including bone health and osteoporosis, alongside the importance of looking beyond symptoms to address underlying hormone deficiencies.
