Your skin isn't just aging, it's warning you.
If you've dismissed breakouts, dryness, or age spots as cosmetic issues, this episode will change everything. Research microbiologist and microbiome expert Kiran Krishnan joins the show to expose the powerful, often ignored connection between your skin barrier, your gut,
and chronic disease.
What you'll discover in this conversation is both eye-opening and urgent: your skin isn't just a
reflection of your health, it's an active driver of it.
Here's what we cover:
● What "leaky skin" really is and how a compromised skin barrier can increase your risk for dementia, diabetes, and heart disease
● The gut-skin connection behind acne, and how triggers like gluten, dairy, and LPS toxins drive breakouts from the inside out
● Why over-cleansing and alcohol-based products may be silently damaging your barrier
● Why lotion alone doesn't fix dry skin, and what ceramides and your microbiome have to do with it
● Why most personal care products are essentially junk food for your skin
Your skin is an organ. It deserves to be treated like one.
