Balance Your Life The Science Behind Acne, Skin Microbiome Health, and Acne Safe Skincare with Dr. Yug Varma
#225: This week on the podcast I am joined by Yug Varma PhD. Yug is a skin and acne expert, and is the Cofounder and CEO of Phyla, the world’s most advanced probiotic acne system. He has 10+ years of microbiome research experience including an extensive background in bio-organic chemistry, microbiology, and synthetic biology. Dr. Varma received his scientific training at several distinguished academic institutions, including Johns Hopkins University (PhD) and University of California. His mission is to change the way we treat chronic bacterial diseases, and is working tirelessly to achieve this goal with a microbiome-based technology platform. He is passionate about promoting scientific literacy, and devotes a significant amount of time demystifying microbiome research and making the latest research accessible to the general public.
On this episode we walk about what people should be looking at when using skincare that’s acne safe, and the difference between cystic and hormonal acne. We also talk about the major side effects of Accutane, the skin microbiome vs the gut microbiome, Phyla skincare, and so much more!
