About Dr. Kiera Barr

Dr. Keira Barr believes that going through menopause shouldn’t mean you have to push pause on feeling comfortable and confident in your skin.

As a dual-board certified dermatologist, global speaker, and best-selling author, Dr. Barr founded the Resilient Health Institute and created “The Skinny Dipping Method” to help midlife women strip away the fatigue, stress, and shame surrounding menopause and uncover the secrets to making midlife the best time of their life.

As a former Assistant Clinical Professor at UC Davis in the departments of dermatology and pathology, advisor to numerous start-ups, author and editorial reviewer of multiple leading medical journals, Dr. Barr passionately bridges the gap between the latest evidence-based research and an integrative approach to health.

She turns conventional methodologies on their heads, blending science with soul to bring an innovative and compassionate approach to women’s health and skincare.

Her book, “The Skin Whisperer,” blends her medical expertise with cognitive science and her own health journey, creating a framework to support readers on a journey towards self-discovery, self-love, and create resilient health. Dr. Barr’s expertise featured on national tv, radio, and podcasts, as well as popular outlets including MindBodyGreen, Insider, Reader’s Digest, Glamour, SELF, and Oprah magazine.
