The Wellness Mama Podcast 324: Increasing Immunity Naturally & Skincare From the Inside Out With Four Sigmatic
My favorite superfood mushroom coffee company, Four Sigmatic, launched a skincare line that is so clean you can actually eat them! I’ve asked Four Sigmatic founder Tero Isokauppila to come back and tell us everything he knows about natural skin care today, from products to diet to superfoods that nourish skin from the inside out.
This should be a great conversation since I’ve also been researching natural personal care pretty intensely to develop my own toothpaste and shampoo formulas.
Bonus for everyone listening (or reading): this episode will go beyond skin deep and really get into how the things that are good for skin health support immunity also. Something we all want to know right now!
Episode Highlights With Tero from Four Sigmatic
- How Tero created a line of skin products so clean you can eat it!
- 10 functions of the skin, our largest organ, and how they give us a clue to how to care for it
- Why ingestible skincare is the next big thing for the beauty industry
- How to respect and nourish the skin microbiome (and why you should)
- The connection between gut health and skin conditions like acne, psoriasis, and premature aging
- Medicinal mushrooms that help immunity
- Prebiotics, beta-D-glucans, and other natural substances that strengthen our natural protection against viruses and disease
- Which mushroom to consume with vitamin C for a strong immune system boost
- Why Tero puts Four Sigmatic body butter in his coffee!

Child: Welcome to my Mommy’s podcast.
I am so excited to finally be able to share a top secret project I’ve been working on for years…this episode is sponsored by Wellnesse… a new company I co-founded to create safe, natural and obsessively tested products for families. You’ve heard that much of what you put on your body gets absorbed and goes into your body. We turned this idea on its head, creating products that aren’t just safe to put on your hair, skin and in your mouth, but that are beneficial. We started with the toughest first, creating the first of its kind natural toothpaste that is free of fluoride and glycerin and that contains ingredients like green tea, neem and hydroxyapatite to support the mouth. Our haircare is free of harmful ingredients and contains ingredients like lavender and nettle to support healthy hair! Be the first to try it at Wellnesse.com
