About this episode
Fatigue, brain fog, hormone imbalance, and low energy are often blamed on perimenopause, stress, or getting older. But what if something in your daily routine is quietly accelerating how you feel and age? Most women focus on diet and supplements to support metabolism, gut health, and hormone balance, but rarely consider what they're putting on their skin. The average woman uses 10–12 personal care products every day, exposing herself to over 160 different chemicals. Because your skin absorbs what you apply, these ingredients can enter the bloodstream and potentially impact hormones, inflammation, energy levels, and overall health. In this episode, I talk with longevity researcher Brian Vaszily about how toxins in personal care products may influence aging, hormone balance, and overall wellness, and why becoming aware of these exposures can make a big difference in how you feel. Key Points from the Episode • The surprising way toxins in skincare and cosmetics may affect hormone balance, fatigue, and inflammation. • Why your skin acts as an absorption pathway, meaning what you put on your body matters just as much as what you eat. • How greenwashing in the beauty industry can make products appear clean or natural when they're not. • Powerful plant compounds that may help support collagen, elastin, and healthy aging without synthetic chemicals. When women start experiencing fatigue, brain fog, weight changes, or hormone shifts, they often focus only on food or supplements. But everyday exposures—like the products we apply to our skin—can also influence metabolism, hormone balance, and overall health. Understanding how toxins, skin absorption, and misleading product labels work can help you make better choices that support healthy aging, energy, and long-term wellness. Tune in to hear the full conversation and learn what to look for when choosing products that truly support your health.
