Don't Do These Skincare Mistakes!

In this 134th episode of Sober Head Podcast, Dr. Esra Çavuşoğlu, PhD welcomes Dr. Barbara Sturm, MD.

Dr. Barbara Sturm is a German doctor, orthopedics specialist, aesthetics expert and an anti-inflammatory pioneer. She studied Medicine and Sports at Heinrich Heine University in Düsseldorf and began her medical career in orthopedics, focusing on innovative treatments for inflammatory conditions. In 2014, she founded Dr. Barbara Sturm Molecular Cosmetics, bringing her scientific expertise and anti-inflammatory philosophy to the world of skincare. What if the secret to younger, healthier skin isn't another expensive cream, but understanding inflammation?

In this episode of SoberHead Podcast, I'm joined by world-renowned skincare pioneer Dr. Barbara Sturm to explore the science of skin aging, chronic inflammation, skin longevity, and the connection between our skin and overall health.

We discuss how inflammation affects collagen, why the skin barrier and microbiome matter, and how gut health, sugar consumption, sleep, and lifestyle influence skin aging.

Dr. Sturm also shares her journey from orthopedic medicine to creating her global skincare brand, the story behind her first personalized blood-based cream, and her perspective on emerging skincare innovations, including exosomes, peptides, and molecular hydrogen. The central message: Healthy skin is about much more than looking younger. It's a reflection of how we care for our entire body.
