What is the connection between beauty, joy and wellbeing? To answer this question, we discover three stories that each unpack the connection between beauty and health from a different angle. And host Isabella Rossellini has some thoughts: ”I grew up in Italy,” she says. “My mother was a Swedish actress, Ingrid Bergman, and my father was Roman, an Italian filmmaker called Roberto Rossellini… I'm embarrassed to say they didn't do much about health… father just ate pasta. In fact, he traveled with spaghetti in his bag to make sure he had the brand he liked the most.” This leads us to our first story, in Sicily, where we speak to Fiorella and her aunt Tiziana about the different ways different generations approach, and define, wellness. Then, we hear from Guive Balooch, who runs augmented beauty and open innovation for L'Oréal Groupe, about a fascinating new technology — Cell Bioprint — that predicts how your skin will age, as well as what ingredients and skincare it needs, with just one touch. Isabella Rossellini shares her relationship with meditation, and the role it played in her relationship with the late director David Lynch, who was a prolific transcendental meditator. And, finally, the holistic health guru Deepak Chopra discusses the connections between wellness, happiness and beauty.
