    In this insightful episode, Marni sits down with Jade Spehr, a lawyer, business coach, and founder of JadeStart, to discuss the pivotal role that financial literacy plays in driving business growth and success. Jade shares her expertise, honed through years of experience in insolvency law, forensic accounting, and business consulting. Key Takeaways: Don't assume your accountant or bookkeeper will always do everything perfectly. As a business owner, you need to understand your numbers and keep them accountable. The three key financial reports to monitor are the Profit & Loss (performance), Cash Flow (blood pressure), and Balance Sheet (health). Understanding metrics like client retention, product sales percentage, and average client spending can help you set KPIs and measure the impact of your strategies.

    In this episode, Marni delves into the fascinating world of nutrition and skin health with Lianne Phillipson, Registered Nutritionist and host of the EAT THIS with Lianne podcast. Lianne's journey is a testament to the power of holistic health. Starting as a beauty therapist on cruise ships, she was driven to understand how nutrition can dramatically affect skin health. Now, she shares her expertise on how to achieve healthy skin from the inside out. Key Takeaways from This Episode: The Nutrient-Skin Connection: Lianne highlights the increased nutrient requirements following aesthetic treatments. Any trauma to the skin, whether from injury or procedures like microneedling, triggers inflammation. Supporting the skin nutritionally is vital for effective healing and long-term health. Essential Nutrients for Skin Healing: Discover the key nutrients that support the inflammation and healing phases post-procedure. Vitamin C, A, E, zinc, and selenium are critical for reducing inflammation and aiding skin repair. Daily Dietary Habits for Glowing Skin: Simple daily dietary swaps can significantly improve skin health. Lianne emphasises the importance of incorporating nutrient-dense foods into one's diet to support skin healing and overall vitality. Hydration Secrets: The importance of hydration goes beyond just drinking water. Lianne explains why proper hydration is crucial for maintaining skin elasticity and aiding the healing process post-treatment. Impact of Processed Foods: Lianne discusses how processed foods can negatively impact skin health. Foods high in sugar and ultra-processed ingredients can slow down healing and exacerbate skin issues. Proactive Nutritional Planning: For those preparing for aesthetic procedures, Lianne offers practical advice on nutritional planning. From increasing protein intake to avoiding specific foods, these tips can enhance the effectiveness of treatments and speed up recovery. Why Nutrition Matters for Skin Health: Lianne's holistic approach focuses on how what we eat directly impacts our skin. She shares compelling examples and case studies of nutritional interventions that significantly improved skin health. By prioritising a diet rich in colourful fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats, listeners can support their skin's natural healing processes and maintain a youthful glow. Valuable Quotes from Lianne: On Nutrition and Skin Health: "What you eat absolutely shows on the outside. Your diet plays a crucial role in your skin's appearance and overall health." On Essential Nutrients: "Vitamin C is the unsung hero of skin healing. It's essential for collagen production, reducing inflammation, and supporting the immune system." On Daily Dietary Habits: "Small changes in your diet can have a profound impact. Adding more colourful fruits and vegetables can significantly improve your skin's health and radiance."

    Vitamin D, Sunscreen and Everything in Between with Mathew Collett, CEO, Solar-D Derma-Tech

    You need sun protection as much as you need vitamin D. But can you have both, without skin damage or nutritional deficiency? Vitamin D is essential for our well-being, promoting bone growth and supporting a robust immune system. Deficiency in this vital nutrient can lead to a host of health issues, including osteoporosis and a weakened immune response. While our skin produces vitamin D when exposed to sunlight, many people believe that using sunscreen and other forms of sun protection can lead to vitamin D deficiency. As a result, they often resort to unprotected sun exposure to obtain adequate levels of the vitamin. However, this approach can expose them to a new set of serious health risks. For the first episode of the much-awaited comeback of the Dermhealth.Co Podcast powered by Digital Health Co, we are talking about vitamin D, sunscreen and everything in between with Mathew Collett, CEO of Solar-D Derma-Tech. Mathew shares his knowledge on the importance of balancing sun protection and vitamin D production. He explains how Solar-D technology creates sunscreens that allow the skin to produce vitamin D while still providing broad-spectrum protection.  Key points covered in the episode: Vitamin D is actually a steroid hormone produced by the body when exposed to UVB light from the sun. It plays a crucial role in strengthening cells and boosting the immune system. Traditional sunscreens can inhibit vitamin D production by up to 99%, contributing to widespread vitamin D deficiency. Practitioners should educate clients on the importance of sensible sun exposure and recommend sunscreens that promote vitamin D production while still offering adequate protection. Solar-D's technology can be incorporated into various skincare products, including tinted moisturisers, face creams, and haircare products, making it a game-changer in the skincare industry.

    Because lips don't have any oil glands, their skin is thinner and more delicate than the skin on the rest of the body. They run the danger of getting dry and chapped as a result. Lips are more exposed to the elements than the rest of the body and can develop chapped skin through exposure to the sun, dry air, or extreme cold. Many of us encounter chapped lips in the winter, which are inflamed, dry, and peeling lips brought on by disruption of the outer skin layer. Cheilitis, the medical term for chapped lips, can result from exposure to an allergen or a medical condition. In this week's podcast episode, Marni will be speaking with Dr Julia Rhodes, award-winning Melbourne-based dermatologist and the founder of Spotlight on Skin.

    You may suspect you have dry, oily, or sensitive skin, but do you really know your skin? Your skin is the window to your body that reveals the stories of your life. From acne breakouts during your teenage years to the radiant glow of pregnancy and the sunspots of ageing, both your age and your health are reflected in your skin. Skin is the body's largest organ. When healthy, its layers work hard to protect us. But when it's compromised, the skin's ability to work as an effective barrier is impaired. In this week's podcast episode, Marni will be speaking with Miriam Thom, founder of Club Psora. Miriam was living in New York and working as a filmmaker when she experienced her first severe psoriasis outbreak, just shy of her 30th birthday. Her year-long journey into self-healing ultimately led to remission and a career refocus in wellness. In 2019 she received her 200-hour teacher training through NYC's Sky Ting Yoga, her teaching style informed by traditional vinyasa, TCM, meditation, embodiment and stress-management techniques. She founded Club Psora for the skin sensitive community -- to provide for others what had been missing for her: a safe container offering access to specialists, resources, personal stories and community discourse.

    Congenital melanocytic nevus (CMN) is a skin condition characterised by a dark, noncancerous skin patch (nevus) that is composed of pigment-producing cells called melanocytes. It is present from birth (congenital) or is noticeable soon after birth. The nevus may be small in infants, but it will usually grow at the same rate the body grows. People with congenital melanocytic nevus may have more than one nevus (plural: nevi). The other nevi are often smaller than the giant nevus. In this week's podcast episode, Marni travels virtually to the UK, to speak with Cheryl Shaw- a Mum, Model, Diversity Advocate and living with CMN. Cheryl was born with giant congenital melanocytic naevus, a rare skin condition that causes large moles to appear all over the body. CMN affected most of her life growing up.

    When filling out official documents, you are often asked to provide your name, birth date, and sex or gender. But have you ever been asked to provide your sex and your gender? Most people use sexuality to refer to the gender(s) to which they are attracted. However, sexuality means different things to different people. A person’s sex, as determined by his or her biology, does not always correspond with their gender; therefore, the terms “sex” and “gender” are not interchangeable. In this week's podcast episode, Marni will be speaking with Dr Riki Lane, an amazing researcher with expertise in qualitative and quantitative methods in the areas of sociology of health, science and gender, sex and sexuality. Dr Riki Lane is a Research Fellow at the Department of General Practice since 2011, undertaking qualitative and ethnographic research studies into models of primary health care.

    April is Rosacea Awareness Month. According to the National Rosacea Society, the goal of Rosacea Awareness Month is to spread public education on this skin condition so that more people who may have rosacea seek medical help before it gets worse, and so those whose lives are affected can find greater public acceptance and understanding. Research suggests that many people with rosacea may not be reconsulting with a healthcare professional after losing faith due to previous negative experiences with prescribed medications or even their dermatologist.

    Food Chemical Intolerance; What you need to know with Ashli Templer of Yours Only®

    Some people are more sensitive to natural food chemicals and find when they eat large amounts of them, they experience distressing symptoms. The most common natural food chemicals that can cause unpleasant symptoms include salicylates, amines, glutamate. Chemicals are found everywhere in nature, including in the food we eat and the water we drink. Some of these, like vitamins, contribute to maintaining good health, while others increase aroma and flavour and make food enjoyable. How much you can tolerate will vary depending on how sensitive you are. Some people have a much lower tolerance threshold than others and will experience a reaction to smaller amounts. Others though, will find that levels build up over a few days before their tolerance threshold is breached and they experience symptoms. Chronic or recurrent symptoms can occur when small amounts of high chemical foods are eaten regularly. When this happens levels build up in your system gradually and specific triggers are not obvious. In this week's podcast episode, Marni will be speaking with Ashli Templer, founder of Pep Creative, skincare brand Yours Only® and podcast Allergy Proof™. Ash has been dealing with pesky intolerances and skin conditions since day dot, as well as Hashimoto's disease. In 2018 after discovering she has a food chemical intolerance and was unable to find any products that were skin, body and bathroom-approved, Yours Only® was born. A series of all system skincare designed with allergies, intolerances, skin conditions and auto-immune diseases in mind, dressed in packaging that looks good enough for a #shelfie. Yours Only® seeks to help and inspire others to look after their bodies, with a % of the profit from each bottle sold going towards allergy research at RPAH Hospital, Sydney.

    Good vibes only and positivity is a concept where people believe in keeping only the positive and rejecting any negative thoughts and notions. This approach also believes that you’re in control of your body and what happens to you and that you can simply remove yourself from negative situations. You’re to blame if you stay in the negative situation or thoughts, and you’re to blame for bringing up negativity. It is the stigma that bad feelings are well, bad! Having unrealistic hopes is self-destructive, as you are putting mental and emotional energy into making it happen, and are likely to be disappointed when you fail to reach your goal. Can you already see where this is going to fail? In this week's podcast episode, Marni travelled virtually to New York to speak with Kayla Juettner. Chronic illness and disability advocate, and the woman behind the Instagram account @chronically.kayla. Being born sick made Kayla create unique challenges and outlook on the world.

    Lipoedema: No, it’s not a typo. It’s a real condition that’s often overlooked or confused with lymphoedema. Nearly 370 million women across the globe live with Lipoedema. What is regularly associated with unruly weight gain in its initial stages can quickly spiral out of control if left undiagnosed. Often striking in a woman’s mid-20s, Lipoedema is a condition that leads to the excessive buildup of fat cells primarily in the arms and legs. Lipoedema isn’t rare, but it’s rarely diagnosed. Most doctors think obesity, heart failure, kidney failure, liver disease, thyroid problems or medications cause the leg swelling or think it’s lymphoedema, which is swelling that usually occurs in one arm or leg. While lipoedema and lymphoedema both do involve swelling, that’s where their similarities end. In this week's podcast episode, Marni travels virtually on the other side of the world to speak with Caroline Sprott. Germany's First Lipoedema Fashion Blogger and one of the hosts of Der Lipödem Podcast. Ten years ago, after leaving from work experiencing excruciating pain, Caroline was diagnosed with lipoedema.

    Pediatric lymphoedema occurs when a child has a chronic accumulation of fluid that causes a region of their body to swell. That unresolved swelling can lead to the buildup of fibrotic tissue along with skin changes that can cause mobility issues.

To open Heal thy Skin podcast's third season, Marni will be speaking with Brittany Williams. Founder of Brylan’s Feat Foundation.

Since then, she has braved her situation to advocate and voice herself as a strong and empowered woman. Farah sees scleroderma as another challenge and has managed to live with it to her advantage. Because of her zeal and passion, she has managed to openly talk and share her story on various platforms.
