Welcome to the Huberman Lab Podcast where we discuss science and science based tools for everyday life.
I'm Andrew Huberman and I'm a professor of Neurobiology and Ophthalmology at Stanford School of Medicine. My guest today is Dr. Teo Solimani. Dr. Teo Soleimani is a double board certified dermatologist and dermatologic surgeon. He did his training at Stanford University and he was a clinical professor of dermatology and Dermatologic surgery at ucla, that is the University of California, Los Angeles. Today we discuss all things related to skin appearance, skin health and skin longevity.
For instance, we discuss sun exposure and.
The impact it can have on both the appearance and health of one's skin. In reference to that, we discuss sunscreens.
Which ones are safe, which ones perhaps.
Elicit a bit more concern or perhaps should be avoided. And we discuss the surprising relationship between sun exposure and skin cancer. We discuss laser treatments for the skin, both for the appearance of skin and in order to make it appear more youthful, as well as to prevent certain forms of skin cancer. We discuss retinoids, we discuss supplements and nutrition. All in reference again to skin health and appearance. Thanks to Dr. Soleimani's incredible depth of expertise as well as clarity of communication about the do's and do nots that relate to skin care and appearance and to avoiding and treating skin cancers, by the end of today's episode you will be armed with an immense amount of knowledge that that is the very latest in our understanding of how to improve.
And protect your skin.
Before we begin, I'd like to emphasize.
That this podcast is separate from my teaching and research roles at Stanford.
It is, however, part of my desire and effort to bring zero cost to.
Consumer information about science and science related.
Tools to the general public. In keeping with that theme, I'd like.
To thank the sponsors of today's podcast.
Our first sponsor is Roka.
Roka makes eyeglasses and sunglasses that are of the absolute highest quality.
I've spent a lifetime working on the.
Biology of the visual system and I can tell you that your visual system has to contend with an enormous number of different challenges in order for you to be able to see clearly from moment to moment.
