"I don't even like the word 'heal', because I think it makes it about the destination and not about the journey." [15:48]

022: How To Support A Healthy Skin Microbiome w/ Jasmina Aganovic Mar 21, 2019

Show notes

In today's hyper-clean, anti-germ world, we have been raised to believe that all germs and bacteria are bad for us, while this is not actually the case. Yes, some germs and bacteria are harmful, but a much larger percentage is useful to us. And unfortunately, conventional cleaning practices have stripped the skin of its microbiome.

My guest for today's episode is Jasmina Aganovic, the President of Mother Dirt (a line of biome-friendly personal care products focused on restoring and maintaining the balance of the skin biome).

The technology is based off research from AOBiome Therapeutics, a biotech company focused on transforming human health through products that restore Ammonia-Oxidizing Bacteria (AOB), which current hygiene practices have stripped from the modern microbiome.

Jasmina is a cosmetics and consumer goods entrepreneur who received her degree in chemical and biological engineering from MIT. Her career path combined her technical background with roles at consumer brands like LVMH, Fresh, and Living Proof.

In this episode, we delve into the skin's microbiome and try to recalibrate our perception of what it means to be clean.

With certain food-triggered conditions like psoriasis, it may seem like an impossible task to create and stick to a diet that is nourishing but also avoids symptomatic complications. It’s different for everyone and finding what works is no simple task. But, as my guest today will tell you, persistence pays off!

Dahne Rodriguez had suffered from terrible itching for many years but could find nothing that would help. With her diagnosis of psoriasis, she had to drastically change her diet. Getting her diagnosis and finding treatment was a difficult and frustrating process, but she’s made it work. I’m so happy Dahne could join us to share her experience!

In this episode, we discuss psoriasis and how it relates to diet. Dahne shares her somewhat unconventional solutions to treating her condition. From apple cider vinegar in her hair to watching what she eats, her skin has improved drastically.

It’s so important to keep trying to solve the puzzle to your health. It can be frustrating but perseverance is so important. Dahne kept at it and is now doing so much better. The constant itching has stopped and she’s even wearing tank-tops again!

In this episode

Psoriasis and its relation to food triggers
How you can adapt your diet in order to manage the symptoms of psoriasis
How you can find alternatives to some of the more conventional treatments for skin issues and use them to find relief
The importance of moisturizing with clean, simple, and organic products

Quotes

“It felt like I was going to starve. What foods are left for me to eat?... But there’s lots of food out there you can eat. I mix it up now between different proteins and vegetables and that’s what I live on.” [4:54]

“It’s a hard struggle to go through, especially with the itchiness. My hands were constantly in my hair and on my shoulders and my back. I don’t want to live like this. It’s horrible. It’s very frustrating. But you have to try different things. Because we’re so individual, what works for me might not work for somebody else.” [12:16]

“For the first time since I was a teenager, I’m wearing tank-tops!” [13:56]
