BONUS: How Cold Laser Rebuilds Collagen Without Skin Damage with Lucy Goff | Menopause, Perimenopause, Skin Health

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.
