The Connection Between Lifestyle, Inflammation and Your Skin with Dr. Mamina Turegano

In this episode of Skin Anarchy, host Ekta is joined by Dr. Mamina Turegano—triple board-certified in dermatology, dermatopathology, and internal medicine—for a conversation that blends science with soul. Known for her integrative approach to skin health, Dr. Mamina shares how her Japanese heritage, her mother’s traditional remedies, and her clinical training have shaped her philosophy of care. The episode explores how modern dermatology can benefit from incorporating Eastern wisdom, with a focus on treating the root cause of skin conditions—not just the symptoms.Dr. Mamina breaks down the link between gut health and chronic inflammatory conditions like acne and psoriasis, emphasizing the importance of addressing internal imbalances through diet, stress reduction, and circadian rhythm alignment. She also challenges the skincare status quo, highlighting why conventional acne treatments may fail if they don’t support the skin barrier or address hormonal drivers like cortisol and androgens.With patients now more informed than ever, she encourages curiosity—but also cautions against misinformation that can derail healing. Her new book, The Holistic Psoriasis Management Nutrition Guide, dives deeper into this integrative framework, including practical lifestyle tools and nutrition strategies that support lasting skin health.If you’ve ever wondered how lifestyle, microbiome health, and cultural traditions intersect with cutting-edge dermatology, this episode is a must-listen. Dr. Mamina offers a compassionate, evidence-backed roadmap to healing from the inside out.CHAPTERS(0:02) – Introduction to Dr. Mamina Turegano(1:11) – Dr. Turegano’s Journey into Dermatology(3:17) – Integrative Dermatology and Holistic Medicine(5:00) – The Role of Patients in Advancing Knowledge(7:59) – Bridging Eastern and Western Approaches to Health(9:33) – Conventional vs. Holistic Treatments for Acne and Psoriasis(13:28) – The Importance of Professional Guidance in Acne Treatment(16:04) – Gut Health’s Role in Skin Conditions(21:22) – Managing Psoriasis Beyond Prescription Treatments(29:44) – Personal Reflections on Autoimmune ConditionsTo learn more about Dr. Mamima, visit her website and social media.Don’t forget to subscribe to Skin Anarchy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred platform.
