Michelle and Kevin explore the connection between nutrition, skin health and sun exposure.

While sunscreen remains the most important tool for protecting your skin from UV damage, research suggests that a nutrient-rich diet can help improve your skin's natural resilience. Michelle explains how antioxidants, carotenoids, polyphenols, and other plant compounds found in fruits, vegetables, and whole foods may support skin health, reduce oxidative stress, and help the body recover from sun exposure.

The conversation also examines the potential impact of ultra-processed foods on inflammation and skin aging, why "eating the rainbow" matters, and how a whole-food, plant-centered diet can benefit your skin from the inside out.
