I just got off of a call that inspired me to send this note. This would NOT be for individualized, formal medical advice. That's what Above & Beyond Dermatology is for. If you're looking for that and happen to live in WI, MN, IL, CO, NE, or AL, reply to this email with a bit about what you're struggling with, and we'll see if it's a good fit. It would, however, be a place where you and your soon-to-be friends can get questions (e.g., What the heck could I do for my hormonal acne if I don't want to take OCPs or any pills for that matter??) answered by a board-certified dermatologist rather than a skinfluencer selling the latest snake oil on Instagram or TikTok. If you're interested, simply reply to this email with YES along with your cell phone number, and I'll put you on the wait list. If you have a question (or 2 or 7) that could help kick off the discussion in the group, include that as well. There are NO dumb questions. If you're curious about it, plenty of other people are, too. Finally, if you have a friend or family member who might be interested, forward this email to them. Talk soon (in the group chat!), Stephen |
I’m a board-certified dermatologist who saves lives (!) by helping people reduce their risk of succumbing to common chronic diseases by fixing their immune systems and getting great looking and feeling skin, hair, and nails along the way. My weekly newsletter is an opportunity for you to get to know and trust me by learning from what I'm building in life and business.

For all who celebrated, I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends. I'm grateful to all of you who bother to open and read these notes.Instead of selling you something on Black Friday, I want to give you something.Today on my podcast feed, I released a bonus episode that contains an audio version of an unfinished e-book that I started writing many months ago. Here's the cover I mocked up over a year ago. Don't judge my graphic design skills. They've improved a bit since...
When it comes to sun preferences, I don’t judge my patients or anyone else. But I do know from experience that one of the best ways to look like a grandma or a grandpa when you’re actually just a mom or a dad is to abuse the sun on a consistent basis. If you’re interested in sun protection, a great tool in the kit is a reliable broad brimmed hat that you’ll actually wear. However, functional sun hats often leave something to be desired when it comes to fashion. Fortunately, the good folks at...
