The Extra Scoop: Can You Eat Your Way to Glowing Skin?

Is glowing skin all about luck, or can your diet really make a difference? In this 15-minute conversation, we’ll dive into the buzzwords, nutrients, and so-called "skin superfoods" that claim to transform your skin. We’ll also explore lifestyle factors like stress, hydration, and sleep, and ask whether supplements and trendy fixes really live up to the hype. Plus, we’ll reflect on the pressures and unrealistic beauty standards that impact how we feel about our skin.


We’re joined by Dr. Thivi Maruthappu, Consultant Dermatologist and Nutritionist, to discuss how diet and lifestyle impact skin health.


In This Episode, We Cover:

  • Whether diet truly affects skin health or if it’s more about genetics
  • Key nutrients and "skin superfoods" that can make a difference
  • The role of stress, hydration, and sleep in skin health
  • The effectiveness of supplements, including collagen and beauty gummies
  • Whether quick fixes like face sculpting devices and LED lights actually work


Dr Thivi Maruthappu is the author of SkinFood: Your 4-Step Solution to Healthy, Happy Skin
