428: The Ingredients, Myths + Marketing Tactics of the Beauty Industry with Charlotte Palermino

Charlotte Palermino is a licensed esthetician, co-founder of Dieux Skin, writer and self proclaimed skincare freak. She joins the show for an honest, no-nonsense conversation around beauty standards, treatments, what actually matters in skincare and what absolutely doesn’t. We get into the first skincare brand she ever fell in love with, the beauty products she thinks are totally overrated and the weirdest treatment she’s ever tried. Charlotte shares her go-to approach for treating hyperpigmentation, her laser recommendations, the number one thing everyone should be doing for better skin and why so many of us still get duped by clever marketing. We also unpack the realities of perioral dermatitis, why lawsuits ironically protect the beauty industry, how U.S. and EU regulations really differ and why Europe is often idealized for all the wrong reasons. Plus: the percentages that actually matter when reading ingredient lists, the future of skincare through her skeptical lens and the affordable brands she genuinely recommends.

427: The Daily Habits to Improve Gut Health and Heal Inflammation Naturally with Dr. Will Bulsiewicz

Dr. Will Bulsiewicz is a physician, bestselling author and one of the most respected voices in microbiome science. He joins the show for a deep dive into the powerful connection between gut health and inflammation. We break down how the gut impacts every system in the body, why chronic low-grade inflammation is so common, and the surprising signs you may have it even if you feel “fine.” Dr. B shares the number one food for lowering inflammation, why you can’t have a healthy microbiome and inflammatory conditions at the same time, and how to start transforming your gut barrier in just 3–5 days. We also dive into the downstream effects of living in negativity and reactivity, the health issues tied to the Western diet, and how restrictive eating can backfire on your microbiome. Dr. B offers evidence-based tools to improve gut health, reduce inflammation, and support overall wellbeing — including non-food lifestyle practices, his essential supplement stack, and the truth about glyphosate and antibiotics. We also explore why you feel better abroad, the gut barrier’s circadian rhythm, the 7-day outdoor challenge, the 10-minute habit that makes you happier and sleep better and his most unpopular health stance. This is a concise, practical, science-driven guide to what actually works for gut health and inflammation!  Follow Dr. B @theguthealthmd and pre-order his newest book: https://a.co/d/j2qOcAA [https://a.co/d/j2qOcAA] This episode is brought to you by: * Go to armra.com/WELL [http://armra.com/WELL] or enter WELL to get 30% off your first subscription order. * Head to boncharge.com [http://boncharge.com] and your 25% off code will be automatically added to your order. * Go to ro.co/BLONDE [http://ro.co/BLONDE] to see if your insurance covers GLP-1s for free. * Get 25% off your first month at Ritual.com/BLONDE [http://ritual.com/BLONDE].  * Go to Quince.com/blonde [http://quince.com/blonde] for 365-day returns, plus free shipping on your order. * Get 61% off your first order at everdaydose.com/WELL [http://everdaydose.com/WELL] or use code WELL at checkout.  This episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.
