Hey, it's Renmel, and welcome to the Male Robbins Podcast. I'm so excited about the conversation today because we have one of the single most respected dermatologists at the Mayo Clinic that is running two different research labs. She is here to teach you what your skin is trying to tell you about your health. Isn't that cool? You can know more about your body, your health, and how well you're going to age just by looking at your skin. And right now, you might be ignoring things that need your attention, whether it's dry skin, rash, brown spots, acne, thinning, hair, psoriasis, other common skin conditions could be telling you something on the surface about your overall health beneath your skin. Dr. Serenya Wiles discovered that there are only five things you should do right now that have a major impact on the health of your skin and the health of your skin has a major impact on your overall health. And today she's going to share those five things with you. What you learned today from Dr. Wiles will leave you feeling smarter and more empowered about your skin and your overall health. I want to invite you to stick around later in the episode to hear all about something called the Clean Slate brought to you by our new sponsor, Mrs. Myers. It's something that will help you clear up both physical and mental space and you're going to absolutely love this. When I think of fall, I think of a couple of things. I think of the first school drop off, the first sweater, weather day, the first chilly evening around the fire pit, and our sponsor, LL Bean. For over a hundred years, LL Bean has been part of these traditions, crunching leaves and mane made bean boots, cheering from the sidelines and scotch plaid flannel, and walking the dog in a rugged field coat. Go grab the layers you love and the people you love and get outside. Visit LL Bean dot com to shop the fall collection. LL Bean, be an outsider. The Mel Robbins podcast is brought to you by Expedia.
