Eps 312: Teen Skin Health with Dr. Mona Gohara
Episode 312
My guest this week is Dr. Mona Gohara. After graduating from medical school with AOA honors, Dr. Gohara did her dermatology training at Yale New Haven Hospital where she served as chief resident.
Dr. Gohara continues to teach at Yale where she holds a faculty appointment as an associate clinical professor. Dr. Gohara serves as a medical expert for L Magazine, Cosmopolitan, Vogue, O the Oprah Magazine, Good Housekeeping, Allure, and Real Simple. She’s on the advisory board of Women’s Health magazine as well.
Dr. Gohara has a husband and two tween boys. Besides mothering and doctoring, she spends time watching her sons basketball games, educating the public on skin care, skin health, skin cancer, and sun protection. She has done this through writing, lecturing on the local, national, and international level, and by engaging popular media.

Troomi Wireless
Hey friends!
I am so excited to tell you about my new podcast sponsor – Troomi Wireless.
SO MANY of you send me emails and questions about phones – when to get them for your kiddos, how to limit their use….
It can be super challenging to buy a phone and try and figure out how to make it do less.
Troomi GETS THE STRUGGLE and has created the device that parents are looking for.
Troomi is a phone that grows alongside your child. Let me tell you how it works….
It is a smartphone that starts off with only talk and text, letting you build a safelist of numbers. With the Troomi KidSmart Dialer, your child can only contact and be contacted by contacts listed in their safelist.
Also, these phones allow you to create a custom experience that fits your child’s needs and maturity, preparing them for a future of responsible tech use. Eventually, you can graduate them into group text, picture and video messaging, safe internet and safe apps as their needs evolve!
Now, YOU get to decide what is best for your family. I know that many of you are wondering HOW to venture into the smartphone world in a way that feels gradual and safe… This is a great solution. I would have jumped on this when my kids were in middle school, it would have made my life so much easier…
