Have you Heard of the Skin Microbiome?

Background Image
What is the skin microbiome? Is it linked to the gut microbiome? What are endolysins? How do they help? The gut is always the hot topic of discussion, but today we switch gears to talk about the skin microbiome. Skin can be the “canary in the coal mine” when indicating imbalances in the body, and sometimes it takes a little more than a simple clean diet and water to get the skin back in check. Today we sit down with Skyler Stein, leader of GladSkin US, who has helped bring new technology to the table in the world of skincare.  Over the years Skyler pivoted from private equity and finance to creating a brand new skincare technology, GladSkin, from overseas. This wasn’t without obstacles, as Skyler had a tough battle with Lyme’s disease and used himself as somewhat of a guinea pig for testing. Through his journey, it became a harsh reality that many who are struggling with autoimmune issues are also dealing with inflammatory skin conditions. Skyler provides lots of insight, especially on the new technology of Endolysins.

Naturopathy, Fasting, Immunity Supplements & More

Background Image
What is the difference between naturopathic and conventional medicine? How many types of fasting are there? Should women fast? What is a fast mimicking diet?    Naturopathic medicine is beginning to draw a lot of attention, as many find themselves dealing with chronic sickness, but are increasingly skeptical of ushering in pharmaceuticals to their lives.    On today’s episode we answer all of those questions alongside Naturopathic med student, Tyler Jean, with a “root cause” approach. Tyler begins with debunking the notion that our bodies “break” and we need external medicine to help fix and protect. Tyler also goes in-depth on the different types of fasting and the benefits seen for disease.     “The body has the inherent capacity to heal” -Tyler Jean   Timestamps 4:10 What naturopathic medicine is 5:05 Emotional Trauma stored in the body 7:02 Third-year medical school thoughts 8:00 Favorite class in med school 10:23 Therapeutic Order of Naturopathy 12:40 Nutrition as the foundational pillar 13:03 Energy Therapy, cold plunges, saunas, herbs 14:50 Fasting, IF, Circadian Code, TRE 18:59 Fasting Mimicking diet 19:45 Who fasting is good for 24:02 Women’s hormones & fasting 26:28 Fasting and Thyroid health  28:20 Supplements for Immunity   Tyler jean IG @functional.foods YouTube Functional Foods  

Are Your Teeth Helping or Hurting You?

Background Image

Every system in your body is uniquely connected, but did you ever think that your teeth could be connected to your heart health, joint pain, or gut health? Not only can your teeth and gums tell you a lot about what is going on in your body, but they can also be causing some of those problems. 

Today we talk with Dr. Kelly Blodgett, a holistic dentist in Portland OR who is on a mission to reverse the negative stereotype of dentistry. Not only can your teeth be trying to tell you what is going on in your body, but they could also be the trigger for some health problems like heart health or gastrointestinal issues.

“If we want people to have great oral health we have to have great nutritional health, great breathing work.”
– Dr. Blodgett

‘Where you want to start investing your money is the wall of your gut. The surface area of the wall of your gut is the size of a tennis court.”

 

“The wall of your gut is your skin turned inside out. So what happens on the wall of your gut is reflected on your skin.”
