The connection between Inflammation + Mental Well Being with Dr. Barbara Sturm

Today's guest on LOOKING UP is one of the most sought-after beauty doctors in the world, Dr. Barbara Sturm. After starting her career in Orthopedics, helping pioneer a procedure dubbed "the Kobe method" after Kobe Bryant had it performed on his knee, she then pivoted to helping her patients feel and look their best with her own science-backed skincare practice.  We talk all about inflammation and how managing inflammation is really the key to health and wellness, also how she stays feeling good and looking good while running her company, mothering her children, and dealing with the day-to-day struggles and stressors we all face. Dr. Sturm tells us all about building resilience through loss, having the courage to shift in her career, the relationship between how we look and our mental health, maintaining an anti-inflammatory lifestyle, and building a business dedicated to helping people feel good. She helps to uncover some skincare myths and shares her thoughts on how some of the most popular treatments and products may actually be more harmful than good. We talk a lot about this idea of respecting our skin, after all, it is the largest organ in our bodies. Take a listen to hear from the powerhouse Dr. Herself.  To purchase your own THINGS ARE LOOKING UP Optimism Deck of Cards please visit ThingsAreLookingUp.co For more BTS footage of this episode and any others follow @drdeepikachopra + @allthingsarelookingup Guest Details: @drbarbarasturm Books That Have Changed The Way Barbara Lives Her Life: Sapiens: a Brief History of Humankind by Yuval Noah Harari and the Book of Life by J.
