• Dr Adam Brown: “How to Slow Ageing and Feel Healthier for Longer”

  In this episode of In Your Skin, we sit down with Dr Adam Brown—GP, longevity expert and founder of the Longevity Medicine Institute—to unpack what it truly takes to slow down ageing, live longer, healthier, and stronger. From extending your health span (not just your lifespan) to the role of gut health, sleep, and strength training, this conversation is packed with powerful insights for women who want to feel—and look—younger for longer. We explore how biological age differs from chronological age, why stress and poor sleep could be ageing you faster than you realise, and what lifestyle tweaks can help prevent age-related decline. Dr Brown shares the surprising signs of internal ageing, the early warning markers he sees in clinic, and what you should be asking your doctor about menopause and HRT. Whether you’re in your 30s or 50s, this episode is a blueprint for staying sharp, fit and fabulous well into your later years. This episode is proudly sponsored by: Olay.

• Dr Scott Allison: “The Truth About Collagen Loss - And How To Get It Back"

  In this episode of In Your Skin, we chat with cosmetic physician Dr Scott Allison about all things skin health and the science of ageing. Dr Allison breaks down the ageing process in a way that’s easy to understand, explaining how both internal (genetics, inflammation, stress) and external (sun exposure, skincare, lifestyle) factors play a role in how we age. He shares his biggest insights on the importance of starting prevention early, why sunscreen is non-negotiable, and the shift away from “anti-ageing” to what he calls “positive ageing.” You’ll learn what treatments actually work (and which are worth skipping), how to spot early signs of collagen loss, and what it really means to look like the best version of your age. Whether you're 25, 45, or 65, this episode is packed with practical tips, myth-busting truths, and a refreshing perspective on beauty that goes far deeper than skin.

• Dr Louise Newson: "Perimenopause Is Happening Sooner Than You Think – Here’s What No One Told You"

  In this powerful episode of In Your Skin, we sit down with Dr Louise Newson, a GP and world-leading menopause specialist, to unpack the myths, misconceptions and life-altering truths about perimenopause and menopause. Dr Newson breaks down why menopause is not just a “transition” but a permanent hormonal state with serious health implications—and why women deserve more than being dismissed or handed antidepressants. She explains the role of oestrogen, progesterone, and testosterone, why hormone replacement therapy (HRT) is one of the safest treatments available, and why so many women still struggle to access it.

Whether you’re in your 30s, 40s or 50s—or supporting someone who is—this episode offers clarity, compassion, and a call to action.

• Dr Pouria Moradi: “Plastic Surgery Isn’t About Vanity—It’s About Feeling Normal”

  In this thought-provoking episode of In Your Skin, we sit down with leading plastic surgeon Dr Pouria Moradi to explore the complex relationship between beauty, body image, and plastic surgery—especially through the lens of parenting daughters in today’s image-obsessed world. Dr Moradi shares what inspired him to write a heartfelt book for his three young girls, urging them to embrace confidence, agency, and body autonomy. He opens up about the internal conflict of being a plastic surgeon while trying to raise daughters who feel worthy without changing themselves, and the powerful moment that drove him to pen a letter that became the foundation of his book Normal. From breast implant illness and the rise of explant surgery, to the ethics of operating on teenagers and the influence of social media, Dr Moradi pulls back the curtain on what really goes on behind the scenes. He also shares practical wisdom for parents navigating their children's self-image, and why sometimes plastic surgery isn’t about vanity—it’s about helping someone feel “normal” again. This is an essential listen for anyone who’s ever questioned their appearance or wondered how to raise body-confident children in a world that profits from our insecurities.
