This week, I sit down with skin health pioneer, Dr. Barbara Sturm. We talk about everything from aging and inflammation to nutritional habits and of course, how to have the glowiest, healthiest skin. Dr. Barbara Sturm's skincare line is formulated to be highly effective at providing hydration, protection and regeneration for anyone who uses it. She strives to educate the public about quality skincare from a scientific-based approach to help produce the anti-inflammatory lifestyle that she advocates. Check out this info-packed conversation as we dive into the innovation of skincare and how to both heal
your skin from the inside out and outside in.

Dr. Barbara Sturm is a German aesthetics doctor, widely renowned for her anti-inflammatory philosophy and her non-surgical anti-aging skin treatments. Dr. Sturm began her medical career in orthopedics as part of the team that developed cutting-edge treatments for inflammatory conditions like osteoarthritis. Termed the “Kobe Procedure” after the late NBA basketball star Kobe Bryant, the treatment utilizes the patient’s own blood cells to produce proteins that reduce inflammation and stimulate the healing process.

Dr. Sturm then translated science from her clinical research and orthopedic practice into the field of aesthetics and opened her own medical clinic in Düsseldorf. As she continued to innovate and revolutionize the field, as she became one of the most sought-after beauty doctors in the world. In 2002, Dr. Sturm developed her famous “MC1," a bespoke plasma-based cream only available to Dr. Sturm’s patients. The potent cream harnesses the power of the body’s own proteins in a skin-healing formula to address the visible signs of inflammation.

A few of my favorite things we cover this episode:
