Mel Robbins (0:00)

Hey, it's your friend Mel, and welcome to The Mel 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.

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. Saranya Wyles 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 learn today from Dr. Wyles 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. Meyers. It's something that will help you clear up both physical and mental space and you're going to absolutely love this.

It's incredible to have you here, so thank you for taking the time out to teach us about our skin and what our skin is trying to tell us about our health. Could you start by speaking to me and the person who's here with us about what could change about our life or our health or how we feel if we take to heart everything that you're about to teach us about our skin?
