If you're a regular Estée Stories reader, you already know that a solid skincare routine is the foundation of a radiant complexion. The other crucial component? What you put on your plate.

Dana James, a triple-certified nutritionist and cognitive behavioral therapist, has dedicated her career to exactly that. "I went into nutrition because I was interested in how food influences the skin," says James, who was dealing with her own complexion woes at the time. After discovering it was easy to eat for better-looking skin, she got to work educating others.

James, who describes herself as a nutritionist with a background in psychology and therapy, is the founder of Food Coach NYC, a successful practice she runs with over 3,000 clients. She's also the brains behind The Archetype Diet (and authored a book by the same name), which details four diet models based on eating habits, body type and where a person sources their self-worth: through success and achievement (The Wonder Woman), from their body (The Femme Fatale), from being unique (The Ethereal) and from making others happy (The Nurturer). "I often say I am reprogramming thoughts and behaviors—specifically those that relate to stress and weight," explains James. So how does she destress after a busy week?

"I do a lot of things," says James. "I meditate. I do breathwork. I connect with friends. I work with energy healers once a week. I take herbs." And maybe most importantly, "I eat well."

Inspired by our Resilience Multi-Effect Tri-Peptide Face and Neck Creme, James shows us how to make a Multi-Benefit Beauty Smoothie loaded with good-for-you ingredients.
