​
I'd love to hear which books have helped you and what you think my next read should be!
The Skincare Bible
Dr Anjali Mahto
Dr Anjali explains skin and skincare in simple terms.
This is an easy read and a great introduction to skincare.
I'd recommended starting here to build your skincare knowledge.
Dr Milli Raizada
When you think about your menstrual cycle, do you know much beyond your period, PMT and ovulation? I certainly didn't.
Have you noticed how your energy and mood changes throughout the month? Why do you crave certain foods at times? Why is exercise fine some days and a slog the others?
Dr Milli navigates you through your cycle to guide with helpful tips on optimising wellbeing, diet and exercise at each point.
This is a must read for woman of all ages.
Ultra Processed People
Dr Chris Van Tulleken
Wow. If there's going to be one food book that changes your mindset, it's this.
Dr Chris changed my view on food within the first chapter.
As a dentist and mother, I struggle to explain the hidden issues in the food around us.
We need to take back control of what we're eating and this book will explain why.
I implore you to read this.
Bad Pharma
Ben Goldacre
This book is meant to make you angry....and it does not disappoint! As medical professionals, we take it for granted that research papers and journal articles are meticulously scrutinised before approval. Learn the truth about the pharmaceutical industry and their marketing tactics.
​The Science of Beauty
Dr Michelle Wong
Coming Soon
Skinfood
Dr Thivi Maruthappu
You are what you eat. We often forget the important role our diet plays in skin health and in general health.
Dr Thivi examines different skin conditions and what to eat to help ease them.
Learn about great pre- and probiotics and the benefits of fermented food. She's included lots of easy recipes to follow too.
Skintelligent
Dr Natalia Spierings
If you're a skin bod, then this is the book for you.
Dr Natalia breaks down skin and skincare into detail and is unapologetically critical of skincare marketing.
Dr Michael Greger
A dramatic title to a really thorough book.
Packed full of information of different disease processes and how you can prevent or minimise them using the greatest tool we have: food.
Dr Greger describes diseases in simple terms, which makes it very easy to follow. There is also nothing fancy to eat; it's all in the power of fruit and vegetables we have.
