Corinne Erickson

Because I think, for many of us, it's an entry point in recognizing, besides the sleep and the night sweats, that something different is going on in our bodies.

And so today, I'm so excited that Alloy Health has brought to us their new dermatology medical advisor, Dr. Corinne Erickson.

to talk about what is going on with midlife skin, why our old routines may not serve us anymore, and what we should really be thinking about.

So thank you so much, Corinne, for coming today.

They're worried about their skin changes because we can see that first.

And so it's not something wrapped in vanity.

And I love how everybody quote Corinne Erickson, the skin is a vital sign.

Yeah.

Today's guest is proposing the next big medical language upgrade, one for your skin and your hair, the part of menopause that everyone can see that people don't really name.

Dr. Corinne Erickson is back on a certain age to name what so many of us see in the mirror, thinning hair, dry, crepey skin, sagging jowls.

You may remember Dr. Erickson from our Glow Getter Summer Skin episode, where she told us how women lose up to 30% of their collagen in the first five years after menopause.

Since then, she's become a medical advisor to Alloy Health, and she's co-authored a paper proposing Pylocutaneous Syndrome of Menopause, or PSM.

Thank you so much for being with me today.

Oh, thank you for having me, Katie.

That was Dr. Corinne Erickson

back on the show with a language upgrade for what so many of us notice in our skin and hair, the pilocutaneous syndrome of menopause or PSM, driven by two hormonal shifts when our estrogen goes base jumping off a cliff while those androgens slowly take the stairs.
