Your skincare routine might only be solving half the problem. A leading functional medicine doctor is here to explain why.
In this episode of Face It, Bari sits down with Dr. Will Cole — bestselling author and one of the world's leading functional medicine practitioners — to explore the powerful connection between what's happening inside your body and what's showing up on your skin. From the gut-skin axis to hormonal imbalances to the everyday habits quietly driving inflammation, Dr. Cole brings over 16 years of clinical expertise to a conversation that challenges everything you thought you knew about healing your skin. This is skincare from the inside out — and it changes everything.
