Today’s episode is another in our podcast series featuring companies I genuinely feel aligned with.Today, I’m delighted to welcome Lucy Goff, the founder of Lyma, a pioneering wellness brand transforming beauty and health through science-backed innovation. Before launching Lyma, Lucy built a successful career as a journalist and luxury-sector publicist, during which she honed her expertise in brand storytelling and consumer engagement. I’ve been using the Lyma laser for several months now, and I’ve noticed significant improvements in my neck, jawline, and even my knees.Today’s conversation centers around Lucy’s near-death experience and the origins of Lyma. We explore the differences between cold and hot laser technology, the influence of sirtuins and longevity pathways, what constitutes a clinical-grade device, and the FDA approval process. Lucy explains how skin ages differently during perimenopause and menopause, why the Lyma laser is safe for all skin types, and how it requires no protective goggles and is completely pain-free. We also discuss gut health, HRT, and hormones, the influence of IDO2, and the role of probiotic fibers. Lucy highlights how simplifying can enhance your health in midlife, how using GLP-1 drugs can lead to weight loss and reduce skin laxity, and how the Lyma device can help improve skin quality.I know you will enjoy today’s enlightening discussion with Lucy Goff as much as I did while recording it.IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: How Lucy's near-death experience led to the creation of Lyma How cold laser technology differs from heat-based skin treatments Why LED, red light therapy, and laser technology should not be grouped, and how LED and laser differ in their biological effects and gene expression Lucy explains the extensive testing required for FDA clearance How women’s skin changes during perimenopause and menopause The role of the gut microbiome during perimenopause and menopause What inspired the development of Lyma's IDO2 formulation  Why Lucy encourages a simpler approach to supporting your health in midlife  How the Lyma laser can help improve skin laxity following rapid weight loss with GLP-1 medicationsConnect with Cynthia Thurlow   Follow on X, Instagram & LinkedIn Check out Cynthia’s website.
