Research has shown that the gut microbiome plays a critical role in our overall health, including the health and appearance of our skin.
In this episode of the Biohacking Beauty podcast, Amitay, founder of Young Goose is joined by Martha Carlin, a visionary thinker and trailblazer in the world of holistic health and gut health. Martha's pioneering research into the complex interplay between diet, gut health, and overall wellness has revolutionized our understanding of personal health and skin health.
