Learn Skin with Dr. Raja and Dr. Hadar

Is your food actually “food”? The answer might surprise you. This week, we’re joined by Dr. Robert Lustig as he breaks down the grocery store into digestible, or indigestible, pieces. Listen in as he discusses maltodextrin, artificial sugar, and what “ultraprocessed” really means. Each Thursday, join Dr. Raja and Dr. Hadar, board-certified dermatologists, as they share the latest evidence-based research in integrative dermatology.
