Episode notes
Skin Absorbs Like Food
- Skin is our largest organ and absorbs topicals similar to ingestion, so product ingredients matter for whole-body health.
- Greenwashing hides harmful chemicals in “natural” products, so read ingredient lists carefully.
Personal Acne Healing Journey
- Courtney struggled with acne and tried many treatments before discovering diet and lifestyle changes helped dramatically.
- She removed gluten, sugar, and alcohol and saw profound skin clarity improvements.
Stress Ages Skin More Than Sun
- Chronic stress often causes more skin aging and inflammation than sun exposure by keeping the body in sympathetic mode.
- Activating the parasympathetic system (deep breathing, vagus exercises) supports skin repair and overall health.
