✨ Thrilled and honored to be featured in @goop !✨
This article dives deep into the powerful connection between stress and skin health—a topic that’s incredibly important to me as a dermatologist who is also board-certified in lifestyle medicine👩🏾⚕️
As a dermatologist, I’ve seen firsthand how stress can significantly impact skin conditions like eczema, psoriasis, acne, and hair loss🏥
That’s why I’m passionate about sharing strategies for managing stress and promoting overall well-being😊

Did you know lifting weights can increase skin thickness? ✨💪🏽
❤️While we often associate exercise with heart health, resistance training offers distinct structural skin rejuvenation benefits for the dermis.
📚In a landmark 16-week randomized controlled trial by Nishikori et al. (2023) published in Scientific Reports, researchers compared 56 sedentary, middle-aged Japanese women engaging in either aerobic training (cycling) or resistance training twice weekly ➡️🚴🏻vs 🏋🏻♀️
📈While both exercises significantly improved skin elasticity, only resistance training significantly increased dermal thickness
🤔Why? The thickness of the deeper layer of the skin called the dermis, thins with age. Resistance training upregulated key proteoglycans like Biglycan (BGN), leading to measurable increases in dermal thickness.
💪🏽Muscle contractions trigger the systemic release of exercise-induced myokines—including Interleukin-15 (IL-15) and IL-6—which stimulate the cells that make collagen.
🚀Building muscle isn’t just about strength—it literally thickens and firms your skin from the inside out!

Your go-to hairstyle could be contributing to hair thinning. 👀
Tight ponytails, braids, and extensions can put repeated tension on your hair follicles, leading to a condition called traction alopecia.
The good news? Catching it early can help prevent permanent damage.

Is it the GLP-1 or the weight loss causing hair thinning? 👀
Rapid or significant weight loss can trigger hair shedding by disrupting the normal hair growth cycle. But researchers are still investigating whether GLP-1 medications may also play a direct role.

This week on SHE MD, we're joined by dermatologist and @Nutrafol Chief Medical Advisor @drheathermd to break down the most common causes of hair thinning, why there's no one-size-fits-all approach, and what to realistically expect when it comes to growth.
