As a naturopathic doctor specializing in mental health and aesthetics, I’ve had the privilege of helping patients navigate the space where inner wellness meets outer beauty. One of the most overlooked—but deeply impactful—connections I see every day is between the mind and the skin.

When it comes to beauty and skincare, many people focus on treating the surface—investing in serums, facials, and trendy products that promise instant results. While these treatments can certainly help improve the skin's appearance, they often provide only temporary relief from deeper concerns. As a naturopathic physician, I take a different approach—one that begins beneath the surface.

As we gear up for the heat of June in Phoenix, it's essential to adjust your health and beauty routines to reflect the season. The intense heat can impact our skin, energy levels, and overall well-being, making it crucial to prioritize self-care. Here are my top five health and beauty recommendations to help you thrive in Phoenix this June!
