In this episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta sits down with board-certified dermatologist and Surface Deep founder, Dr. Alicia Zalka, to challenge everything you thought you knew about deodorant and body care. With over three decades in medical dermatology, Dr. Zalka shares why the underarm — and the rest of your body — deserves the same ingredient-conscious, science-backed attention we give our faces. Her journey from clinic to product creation started with an accidental discovery: a forgotten deodorant, a swipe of glycolic acid, and a surprising odor-free day.Unlike conventional deodorants that mask odor or antiperspirants that block sweat, Surface Deep takes a different route — keeping skin's pH balanced, supporting beneficial bacteria, and creating an environment where odor-causing microbes can't thrive. Dr. Zalka explains the science behind sweat, the role of the skin microbiome, and why killing all bacteria is not the goal.She also dives into the delicate nature of underarm skin, why common deodorant ingredients can cause irritation, and how glycolic acid — when formulated correctly — can be a game changer for smooth, odor-free skin. Beyond the underarms, Dr. Zalka introduces the “Stinky Seven” — seven surprising body zones prone to odor — and her take on the rise of whole-body deodorants.This conversation is equal parts myth-busting and practical skin science. If you've ever wondered why your deodorant stops working, what's really behind body odor, or how to care for your skin without disrupting its natural balance, this episode will change the way you think about body care forever.To learn more about Surface Deep visit their website and social media.CHAPTERS:(0:00) Introduction & Importance of Body Care(1:05) Dr. Alicia Zalka's Career Background(3:04) Inspiration Behind Surface Deep Deodorant(6:38) Understanding Underarm Skin and Its Unique Properties(9:11) The Truth About Sweat vs. Odor(15:33) Issues with Conventional Deodorants & Skin Barrier(17:43) How Surface Deep Antiodorant Works(22:30) The Importance of pH and Microbiome in Body Care(24:09) Role and Benefits of Glycolic Acid in Body Care(28:18) The "Stinky Seven": Key Odor-Prone Body AreasPlease fill out this survey to give us feedback on the show!Don't forget to subscribe to Skin Anarchy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred platform.Reach out to us through email with any questions.Sign up for our newsletter!Shop all our episodes and products mentioned through our ShopMy Shelf!

Our health journey actually starts with brushing our teeth because the bacteria and the toxins from the mouth can spread to the rest of the body." — Dr. Kenny Brown "The tongue is a shag carpet. It is not a smooth table. It has crevices where all the food that we eat, the snot, the drainage, and the bacteria can tuck in, which creates the white layer on top of the tongue, and can become the source of bad breath. So cleaning the tongue on a routine basis is absolutely necessary." — Dr. Kenny Brown "Veneers alter the microbiome of the mouth. It's more man made material that's going in your mouth. And it will never get clean the same way that you can clean your natural teeth. The edges of veneers is where cavities start to creep in so you actually need to take better care of them." — Dr. Kenny Brown Josh's Trusted Products | Up To 40% Off Shop All Products Biohacking⁠ Korrect Life - 15% OFF WITH CODE "JOSH15" MANNA Vitality - Save 20% with code JOSH20 HigherDOSE - 15% off with the code WELLNESSANDWISDOM PLUNGE - $150 off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE SaunaSpace - 10% off with discount code JOSH10 Ultrahuman Ring Air - 10% off with code JOSH Wellness Test Kits Tiny Health Gut Tests - $20 off with discount code JOSH20 VIVOO Health Tests - Save 30% off with code JOSH SiPhox Health Blood Test - Save 15% off with code JOSH Nutrition + Gut Health Organifi - 20% off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE Paleovalley - 15% off with the link only EQUIP Foods - 20% off with the code WELLNESS20 DRY FARM WINES - Get an extra bottle of Pure Natural Wine with your order for just 1¢ Just Thrive - 20% off with the code JOSH Kreatures of Habit - Save 20% with WISDOM20 Supplements MANNA GOLD - $20 off with the code JOSHGOLD Adapt Naturals - 20% off with discount code WELLNESSFORCE MitoZen - 10% off with the code WELLNESSFORCE Activation Products - 20% off with the code JOSH20 BiOptimizers - 10% off with discount code JOSH10 Fatty15 Essential Fatty Acids Supplement - Get 15% off with code JOSH15 Sleep BiOptimizers Sleep Breakthrough - 10% off with JOSH10 Zyppah Anti-Snoring Mouthpiece - 20% off with the code JOSH MitoZen Super SandMan Ultra™ (Melatonin Liposomal)+ | 10% off with WELLNESSFORCE Luminette Light Therapy Glasses - 15% off with JOSH Cured Nutrition CBN Night Oil - 20% off with JOSH Natural Energy MTE - Save 20% with JOSH TruKava - Save 20% with code JOSH20 Drink Update - Save 25% with discount code JOSH25 EONS Mushroom Coffee - 20% off with the discount code JOSH20 EnergyBITS - 20% off with the code WELLNESSFORCE BUBS Naturals - Save 20% with JOSH20 Fitness + Physical Health Detox Dudes Online Courses - Up to $500 off with discount code JOSH Kineon - 10% off with discount code JOSH10 Create Wellness Creatine Gummies - 20% off with discount code JOSH BioPro+ by BioProtein Technology - Save $30 OFF WITH CODE JOSH Drink LMNT - Zero Sugar Hydration: Get your free LMNT Sample Pack, with any purchase Healthy Home SunHome Saunas - Save $200 with JOSH200 JASPR Air Purifier - Save 10% with code WELLNESS Zyppah Anti-Snoring Mouthpiece - 20% off with the code JOSH Holy Hydrogen - $100 off with discount code JOSH SimplyO3 - 10% off with discount code JOSH10 LEELA Quantum Upgrade + Frequency Bundles - Get 15 days free with code JOSH15 TrulyFree Toxic- Free Cleaning Products - Get 40% off + Freebies with code WELLNESSFORCE Mental Health + Stress Release Mendi.io - 20% off with the code JOSH20 NOOTOPIA - 10% off with the discount code JOSH10 CalmiGo - $30 off the device with discount code JOSH30 QUALIA - 15% off with WELLNESSFORCE Personal Care⁠ The Wellness Company's Emergency Health Kits + More - Save 10% with code JOSH Farrow Life - Save 20% with JOSH Timeline Nutrition - 10% off with JOSH ⁠⁠Intelligence of Nature - 15% off Skin Support with the code JOSH15⁠⁠ Young Goose - Save 10% with code JOSH10 Mindfulness + Meditation BREATHE - 33% off with the code PODCAST33 Neuvana - 15% off with the code WELLNESSFORCE Essential Oil Wizardry - 10% off with the code WELLNESSFORCE Four Visions - Save 15% with code JOSH15 Lotuswei - 10% off with JOSH Clothing Rhizal Grounded Barefoot Shoes - Save 10% with code WELLNESS Earth Runners Shoes - 10% off with the code JOSHT10 Free Resources M21 Wellness Guide - Free 3-Week Breathwork Program with Josh Trent Join The Liberated Life Tribe About Dr. Kenny Brown Dr. Kenny Brown is an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon who has operated on everything from a loose baby tooth to a skull reconstruction following a bear attack.

Hi and welcome to How Humans Heal. I'm Dr. Doni Wilson, and today I'm excited to introducing you to Anu Simh. She is a Board-Certified Functional Health Coach and the author of the new book called "Flourish from Within: Feed Your Gut for Lifelong Health." We're going to be talking about, you might have guessed, the gut microbiome and all the amazing ways that optimizing your gut microbiome can optimize your health. The microbiome is such an important topic, especially over the past 10 years. More and more people are learning about the microbiome and getting a better understanding of how it impacts our health. We hear a lot about probiotics and sometimes we hear about prebiotics, but there's still a lot of confusion about it. That's why I'm really glad we can set the record straight today. The journey to optimal gut health is personal and unique to each individual, but the fundamental principles remain the same: feed your beneficial bacteria with diverse, whole foods, support them with healthy lifestyle choices, and be patient with the process. Your microbiome has been your partner throughout your entire life, and with the right care, it can continue to support your health for years to come. And we're here to help you!

In the episode of Ageless Future, we discuss groundbreaking exploration of Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT) led by Drs. Jason Klop and Shaina Cahill from Novel Biome. They detailed how FMT is revolutionizing treatment for chronic, treatment-resistant conditions—ranging from GI disorders to neurological and autoimmune diseases—by restoring gut microbiome diversity. The discussion covered rigorous donor screening protocols, the three-phase treatment process (pretreatment, loading dose, maintenance), and why FMT outperforms probiotics. Real-world case studies showed improvements in digestion, cognition, sleep, and immune balance, with continued benefits months after treatment. The session also tackled treatment logistics, safety concerns, microbiome testing, and protocols for maintaining long-term success through diet and lifestyle. The collaborative concluded with strong enthusiasm for education, ethical sourcing, and integrating FMT into functional practices. www.agelessfuture.com

"I can seal your leaky gut. It'll take a while, but I can seal it. But if you keep swallowing razor blades, you're gonna tear it right open." - Dr. Steven Gundry What if I told you that your brain isn't actually in charge of your thoughts and cravings? My longtime neighbor and friend, Dr. Steven Gundry, just blew my mind again with revelations that completely change how we think about hunger, decision-making, and brain health. We're walking around, believing we're making conscious choices about food, but the truth is that our gut bacteria are pulling the strings, like puppet masters. This conversation unveiled the shocking connection between our deteriorating gut health and the rise in neurological conditions we're seeing in women over 40. From the patient with Parkinson's who got her life back to why you feel amazing eating pasta in Italy but feel inflamed after a "healthy" meal at home, Dr. Gundry reveals the hidden razors we're swallowing daily that are literally shredding our gut lining and creating brain inflammation. If you've been struggling with brain fog, autoimmune issues, or feeling like your body is working against you, this episode will give you hope and a clear path forward.  What you'll learn: Why your gut bacteria are actually making your food decisions and controlling your hunger signals The shocking truth about how leaky gut creates "leaky brain" and leads to neuroinflammation Dr. Gundry's three-step protocol for healing your gut-brain connection (including his surprising vitamin D recommendation) How everyday "razor blades" like ibuprofen and glyphosate are destroying your gut lining Why you can eat bread in Europe but not America - and what this means for your health The remarkable case study of a Parkinson's patient who reversed her symptoms through gut healing How root vegetables and spices can actually train your immune system to be more tolerant The hidden reason why 90% of addiction recovery programs fail (and what should be targeted instead) Love the Podcast?

Broadcast from KSQD, Santa Cruz on 8-31-2025: Dr. Dawn interviews Katherine Rockwood and Jess Stevens, both registered nurses and breastfeeding advocates, during International Breastfeeding Month. They discuss community events including breastfeeding cupcakes at hospitals, partnerships with WIC (Women, Infants & Children) nutrition programs, and upcoming festivals featuring educational booths from various healthcare organizations. The conversation covers how these events aim to normalize breastfeeding and provide support resources for new mothers. The discussion explores milk donation programs, with Jess explaining her experience as a milk donor after becoming an "overproducer." They detail the screening process involving health questionnaires, blood tests, and milk quality checks before donation. The conversation addresses the high cost of donor milk at approximately $30 per ounce and insurance challenges, highlighting cases where fundraising helped provide donor milk for babies whose mothers couldn't breastfeed due to medical conditions like cancer. Dr. Dawn comments that breastfeeding a baby is like giving them a $100.00 restaurant meal daily. Katherine and Jess explain the superior benefits of breast milk over formula, particularly for premature babies who face risks like necrotizing enterocolitis from formula feeding. They discuss how the mother's breast milk composition automatically adjusts it's content for premature infants and how there is a 28-day window for establishing milk supply that affects long-term breastfeeding success. The nurses describe their support programs, including Katherine's "Baby Talk" group meetings where experienced mothers help newcomers learn breastfeeding techniques. They explain how group settings provide encouragement and demonstrate proper latching through observation and imitation. The discussion includes practical tips like playing jazz music and creating calm environments to facilitate milk letdown, drawing from Katherine's background in jazz clubs. Dr. Dawn explores the science behind breast milk, including human milk oligosaccharides that feed beneficial gut bacteria and establish healthy microbiomes. The conversation covers how breast milk changes throughout the day, with higher melatonin levels in evening milk, and how the antibody percentage composition shifts when babies are sick. Amazingly, breast milk becomes more yellow in color due to increased antibodies. They discuss how milk adapts for different aged children and even changes caloric content based on baby's gender with males receiving 25% more calories. The discussion addresses workplace and societal challenges for breastfeeding mothers, including the need for proper lactation rooms and supportive employers. They mention legal requirements for lactation spaces in California government buildings and the particular challenges faced by agricultural workers who lack adequate facilities. The conversation emphasizes the importance of community support and reducing guilt for mothers who cannot breastfeed. Dr. Dawn then shares statistics showing increasing breastfeeding rates, with 83.8% of babies receiving some breast milk and 25% exclusively breastfed for six months. The discussion covers additional maternal benefits including reduced breast cancer risk through complete breast tissue maturation, improved bone health through enhanced calcium absorption during breastfeeding, and natural birth control effects. They conclude by encouraging any amount of breastfeeding while supporting mothers who cannot breastfeed for various reasons.

Chemical engineer Beth Sattely studies the intricate chemistry of plant life. Plants are more than food, she says: They are living chemical factories churning out molecules that help plants do everything from adapting to climate change to fighting infections – or even producing valuable new cancer drugs. Lately, Sattely's lab is working on ways to make crops more resilient to engineer more sustainable foods and environments. Some of our most exciting technologies already exist in nature, we just have to find them, Sattely tells host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.Have a question for Russ?

When you think of the microbiome, you probably think of your gut. But bacteria live all over your body. And they're incredibly numerous; you play host to about as many microbes — a hundred trillion of them — as you do human cells.As my guest will explain, these microbial ecosystems are not only ubiquitous but hugely influential for your health — impacting everything from your weight and mood to your risk of developing many diseases.Dr. Brett Finlay is a microbiologist and the co-author of The Microbiome Master Key. Today on the show, Brett explains what the microbiome is, how modern life — including our overemphasis on hygiene — has damaged it, and how the quality of your microbiome is connected to nine of the top ten leading causes of death, as well as everything from depression to Parkinson's. Brett also shares how we can boost the health of our microbiome, including whether probiotic supplements are effective, how something as simple as flossing your teeth can cut your risk of Alzheimer's by 50%, and why you might want to let your dog lick you in the face.Resources Related to the PodcastLet Them Eat Dirt documentaryAoM Article: How and Why to Eat More FiberAoM Article Don't Be a Stick in the Mud — Why You Should Let Your Kids Get DirtyProbiotic gumConnect With Brett FinlayBrett's faculty page
