Dermatologists have long known how to read the signals the skin sends: it is a window to our physical health. However, the latest science shows that the skin--the body's largest organ--is more than just a protective coating that keeps our bones and bits in place. It is in fact an outer brain--an external nervous system--that not only responds to stimuli but can clearly show us the earliest stages of significant changes in brain health.

Dermatologists have long known how to read the signals the skin sends: it is a window to our physical health. However, the latest science shows that the skin--the body's largest organ--is more than just a protective coating that keeps our bones and bits in place. It is in fact an outer brain--an external nervous system--that not only responds to stimuli but can clearly show us the earliest stages of significant changes in brain health. As one of the country's preeminent neurodermatologists who specializes in the intersection of geriatrics, neurology, and dermatology, Dr. Robert Norman is uniquely poised to fully explore, for the first time, the symbiotic relationship between the skin and brain. In easy-to-follow language, Dr. Norman will explain exactly how our skin reflects critical changes to the way we think, feel, and perceive, as well as our ability to handle stress and make decisions. By knowing how to read its signals, the skin can reveal the beginning stages of depression, personality disorders, dementias, including Alzheimer's disease, and even Parkinson's, long before these diseases wreak personal havoc. What's more, readers will learn what they can do right now to protect, enhance, and even reverse changes to both our inner and outer brain.
