Summary
In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Kyle Stewart, NHS GP, Clinical Entrepreneur Fellow, and co-founder of Prof & Doc, to explore the surprising health benefits of watercress.
We’re going to dive into how watercress could be a game-changer for skin health, helping with conditions like nappy rash, eczema, and more. Dr. Stewart shares insights from his pioneering work in phytochemical manipulation over the last 8 years and developing innovative skincare solutions that he’s now brought to market at www.profanddoc.com.
We also talk more broadly about how the application of research looking at ingredients from the brassica family are just waiting to be explored. You’ll also learn about some of the other vegetables and plants that Kyle would explore if he wasn’t so obsessed with Watercress!
As a former NHS GP myself, I’m so impressed at how Kyle’s been able to navigate the world of entrepreneurship whilst maintaining a practice. I see really impressive things with his work and it hopefully paves the way for more research in the phytochemical world.
