00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:09.800
Welcome to Rooted in Wellness with Me, Wellness Advocate and Holistic Nutritionist,
2
00:00:09.800 --> 00:00:11.100
Mona Sharma.
3
00:00:11.100 --> 00:00:17.240
Together we will take a journey to discover natural healing practices from imbalance to balance,
4
00:00:17.240 --> 00:00:21.960
guided by ancient wisdom and modern scientific insights.
5
00:00:21.960 --> 00:00:27.760
I was raised living summers on an ashram so I learned early on that food is medicine
6
00:00:27.760 --> 00:00:32.320
and your kitchen is your greatest source of health care and prevention.
7
00:00:32.320 --> 00:00:37.120
After facing two heart surgeries, anxiety and weight challenges, I discovered that just
8
00:00:37.120 --> 00:00:41.400
because your symptoms are common doesn't mean that they are normal.
9
00:00:41.400 --> 00:00:46.240
Together with some incredible guests, we will explore the power of our mind, body and
10
00:00:46.240 --> 00:00:51.240
soul connection, returning to our roots to rediscover our greatest well-being.
11
00:00:58.760 --> 00:01:06.680
We're always chasing the next big thing in wellness, whether it's the latest skincare
12
00:01:06.680 --> 00:01:13.240
trend, the newest supplement, or that miracle ingredient, promising to turn back the clock.
13
00:01:13.240 --> 00:01:17.280
But what if I told you that we've been thinking about aging all wrong?
14
00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:23.160
Today I'm sitting down with Dr. Carolina Race Oliveira, a PhD scientist and co-founder
15
00:01:23.160 --> 00:01:24.520
of One Skin.
16
00:01:24.520 --> 00:01:29.680
To talk about skincare but beyond the surface, literally, we are breaking down why most
17
00:01:29.680 --> 00:01:34.800
anti-aging products don't actually target aging, with really happening to our skin on
18
00:01:34.800 --> 00:01:40.180
a cellular level and how we can start working with our biology instead of against it to
19
00:01:40.180 --> 00:01:41.560
age better.
20
00:01:41.560 --> 00:01:46.440
In this episode, we're also diving into the science of peptides, why collagen supplements
21
00:01:46.440 --> 00:01:51.720
might not be doing what you think and have stress, lifestyle and environmental toxins
22
00:01:51.720 --> 00:01:53.800
speed up the aging process.
23
00:01:53.800 --> 00:01:57.600
We're also getting real about the biggest skincare mistakes that people make, because
24
00:01:57.600 --> 00:02:02.160
more is not always better, and the simple shifts that can make a real difference in your
25
00:02:02.160 --> 00:02:03.960
skin's health and longevity.
26
00:02:03.960 --> 00:02:10.200
Dr. Carolina Race Oliveira is a PhD scientist in stem cell biology and the co-founder of
27
00:02:10.200 --> 00:02:11.360
One Skin.
28
00:02:11.360 --> 00:02:15.760
She's on a mission to redefine skincare with real science, helping people age better by
29
00:02:15.760 --> 00:02:21.440
targeting the root cause of skin aging at a cellular level, and trust me, you will feel
30
00:02:21.440 --> 00:02:24.200
a difference when you use these products.
31
00:02:24.200 --> 00:02:29.240
Carolina's work is changing the way that we think about skincare, and after this conversation,
32
00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:33.400
you will never look at your routine the same way.
33
00:02:33.400 --> 00:02:42.480
Wonderful.
34
00:02:42.480 --> 00:02:44.640
Welcome, Carolina, to rooted in wellness.
35
00:02:44.640 --> 00:02:50.240
I'm so excited to have you today so that I can share a little bit of my past too, and
36
00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:56.720
I get sent a lot of products, and I always try everything so thoroughly before I give
37
00:02:56.720 --> 00:03:02.160
any opinion, and I am so impressed with One Skin, so we're going to dive into so much
38
00:03:02.160 --> 00:03:03.160
of this today.
39
00:03:03.160 --> 00:03:07.560
Carolina, this podcast is all about ancient wisdom in our modern world and how we can become
40
00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:12.400
more rooted in our health and our happiness and our lives, so I'd like to kick off this
41
00:03:12.400 --> 00:03:17.000
episode with having you share two or three things that help you feel extremely rooted.
42
00:03:18.000 --> 00:03:24.800
Yeah, thank you so much, Mona, for having me, really excited about this topic, I think,
43
00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:33.760
as a founder, as a scientist, I'm always trying to combine modern science and ancient wisdom,
44
00:03:33.760 --> 00:03:38.880
and I think a lot of it, this ancient knowledge is so important for us.
45
00:03:38.880 --> 00:03:46.880
For me, I think the things that really help me, it's staying close to nature, grounding,
46
00:03:46.880 --> 00:03:54.880
with my feet on the ground, and just taking them morning sunlight, I think this connects
47
00:03:54.880 --> 00:04:04.120
me with this kind of higher force, and helps calm down my stress, and it's a good way
48
00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:11.720
to start the day if I can, but as much as possible, I just love being nature and connecting
49
00:04:11.720 --> 00:04:15.880
with this planet and all the energy that comes from it.
50
00:04:15.880 --> 00:04:18.880
That's why I also wanted to shed light on the opposite side.
51
00:04:18.880 --> 00:04:23.480
A lot of us have these habits that we have every day, we don't even understand, or we don't
52
00:04:23.480 --> 00:04:27.760
feel them, we're drifting away from feeling our best, and those are the habits that cause
53
00:04:27.760 --> 00:04:29.720
us to feel uprooted.
54
00:04:29.720 --> 00:04:34.280
So can you share, do you notice what are two or three things that cause you to feel uprooted
55
00:04:34.280 --> 00:04:36.160
in your health and your body?
56
00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:43.360
Yeah, I was reflecting about that because the beginning of the year started already so chaotic
57
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:50.480
and when I was looking back, you're super busy in the company, and I think one of the
58
00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:55.760
reasons is that why I'm feeling like a little stressed out, it's because I'm going into
59
00:04:55.760 --> 00:05:04.080
this autopilot mode that I'm not like reviewing my week and really trying to manage in a way
60
00:05:04.080 --> 00:05:10.280
that what I can delegate, how I can prepare ahead, and I just go and I'm like meetings
61
00:05:10.280 --> 00:05:17.160
after meetings, and the other piece that I felt, it's social media, how much I'm actually
62
00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:23.680
spending on social media, and as part of my work, I still needed to be on social media,
63
00:05:23.680 --> 00:05:31.600
but I'm trying to find that balance in a way that if I can delegate that and if I can
64
00:05:31.600 --> 00:05:38.720
plan ahead and be able to not take all of the meetings and be more mindful, more grounded
65
00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:48.760
every day, I can already feel a little bit more present and relieved, so I'm doing this
66
00:05:48.760 --> 00:05:59.280
exercise currently right now.
67
00:05:59.280 --> 00:06:03.520
And I was reading a study the other day too, it was talking about a woman's brain and
68
00:06:03.520 --> 00:06:09.800
we don't necessarily compartmentalize, there's everything that's just right, rent forward,
69
00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:14.080
we don't necessarily compartmentalize or put things in a list, so I think it's very easy
70
00:06:14.080 --> 00:06:19.000
and common especially for women to just get lost in the things that they have to do every
71
00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:24.680
single day, which impacts our health, which impacts our skin, which is a perfect segue,
72
00:06:24.680 --> 00:06:29.920
to talking about this, because my gosh, when I'm stressed, when I'm overwhelmed, when
73
00:06:29.920 --> 00:06:35.520
I've been traveling too much or if I'm too tired, I see it, I feel it in my skin especially,
74
00:06:35.520 --> 00:06:40.920
so we're going to dive into that, and what I wanted to say to our audience is in doing
75
00:06:40.920 --> 00:06:46.920
research for one skin, around one skin, it's not just the brand, I really do feel that
76
00:06:46.920 --> 00:06:51.480
you're redefining skin care, and I say this because I was sharing with you before we started,
77
00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:54.920
I actually come from the cosmetic and skin care world, so I worked in that world for
78
00:06:54.920 --> 00:07:01.480
about 20 years, and here I was working for these massive luxury beauty brands, but as I
79
00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:06.800
learned, and as I got sick, I suffered from anxiety, I actually stopped getting my menstrual
80
00:07:06.800 --> 00:07:11.240
cycle, and so that caused me to take a deep dive into the number of chemicals that I was
81
00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:16.600
inhaling through perfumes and perfume body lotions and perfume face creams and perfume
82
00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:21.720
eye creams every single day, so anyways, I miss skin care so much, and I'm always thrilled
83
00:07:21.800 --> 00:07:27.240
when I find a brand that I love, and one skin really caught my attention because of the
84
00:07:27.240 --> 00:07:32.120
concept of peptides, so I've been loving this, I would love for you to start by sharing,
85
00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:37.960
what inspired you to even create one skin, and how does it differ from the traditional
86
00:07:37.960 --> 00:07:41.800
kind of air quote anti-aging skin care brands that are out there?
87
00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:48.440
Yeah, so I'm a scientist by training, I got my PhD in STEM cell biology and tissue engineering,
88
00:07:48.440 --> 00:07:56.280
and I joined with three other co-founders, also PhDs, women from Brazil, and one of the things
89
00:07:56.280 --> 00:08:02.600
that we learned how to do in our PhDs was to grow human tissues in the lab, so one of the
90
00:08:02.600 --> 00:08:08.760
tissues that we could grow is human skins, so when we started this project, we didn't start to create
91
00:08:08.760 --> 00:08:15.880
a brand or a product, we were actually using this ability of reproducing the skin in the lab
92
00:08:15.960 --> 00:08:22.760
to test products that were already in the market, mainly anti-aging products, because there
93
00:08:22.760 --> 00:08:29.640
so many out there, and we still don't know which products work, as you said, which are actually,
94
00:08:29.640 --> 00:08:36.600
you know, potentially causing some damage to our skin, so we started testing products, and as you
95
00:08:36.600 --> 00:08:43.080
said, we realized that a lot of them were not causing real skin rejuvenation, some of them could
96
00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:48.680
make your skin look better in the short term, but a lot of them were also compromising your skin
97
00:08:48.680 --> 00:08:55.960
health in the long term, and none of them were actually designed to target aging itself, they
98
00:08:55.960 --> 00:09:02.680
were targeting the symptoms of aging, or basically like the surface level of the skin, and so we saw
99
00:09:02.680 --> 00:09:09.800
an opportunity to actually develop a new approach to address aging from within, and it started
100
00:09:09.880 --> 00:09:17.560
like looking for new molecules that were more effective in actually reversing aging, and that's how
101
00:09:18.520 --> 00:09:25.160
we found this novel peptide after four years of research, and this is the first peptide that's
102
00:09:25.160 --> 00:09:31.720
validated to reverse the age of the skin, so there is a lot that we can talk about, but yeah,
103
00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:37.960
super exciting research. Yeah, so exciting, peptides have been around for a long time, but I
104
00:09:38.040 --> 00:09:42.600
think it's kind of been like a buzz trend or the word that people are looking to hear with that
105
00:09:42.600 --> 00:09:47.400
actually understanding the science behind it, and I love that you brought up that concept of,
106
00:09:47.400 --> 00:09:52.920
you know, a lot of these big beauty brands, when I work with clients and kind of supporting them and
107
00:09:52.920 --> 00:09:57.480
making better decisions for themselves, they're really addicted to that surface level, but look
108
00:09:57.480 --> 00:10:02.440
what it does to my skin, but I'm like, but look, look what it does to your insides though, right? So
109
00:10:02.520 --> 00:10:09.160
I think it's so important that we really merge those two worlds together. So, you know, in terms
110
00:10:09.160 --> 00:10:14.280
of the beauty concept, what was your journey to really combine the science with beauty and really
111
00:10:14.280 --> 00:10:21.720
tacking aging, but considering that it had to be done at a cellular level? Yeah, as I said, I landed
112
00:10:21.720 --> 00:10:28.760
in this skin care world by, you know, by chance, but I think what we realized is that as we were
113
00:10:28.760 --> 00:10:34.680
testing those products and measuring if they could actually rejuvenate the skin, we start to
114
00:10:34.680 --> 00:10:41.560
learn a lot about aging, what's driving aging at a cellular level? And what we found is that the
115
00:10:41.560 --> 00:10:47.800
science has evolved so much in the past like 10, 15 years, and all of these products that are in
116
00:10:47.800 --> 00:10:54.840
the market, they were not utilizing this novel science that now understands better what's driving
117
00:10:54.920 --> 00:11:02.360
aging. And what we saw is that, okay, several companies were targeting aging to prevent
118
00:11:02.360 --> 00:11:09.240
age-related diseases, and no one was using the same approach to target skin aging. So we saw
119
00:11:09.240 --> 00:11:17.560
this opportunity to bring this new science that is now focusing on the root cause and apply
120
00:11:17.800 --> 00:11:25.160
to skin care, to skin health, and basically connect aging longevity and beauty. Because there is
121
00:11:25.160 --> 00:11:31.320
already like a massive market that's eager for products that are really effective, but the industry
122
00:11:31.320 --> 00:11:38.120
is still outdated in their approach to address aging. And that's why I think we have been, you know,
123
00:11:38.120 --> 00:11:44.760
successful in so many ways, because we come from the highest these hypotheses of like addressing
124
00:11:44.840 --> 00:11:50.840
the root cause at the cellular level. And therefore, this can deliver better results, and not only
125
00:11:50.840 --> 00:11:56.920
near-term results, but long-term results, and really focusing on optimizing your skin health.
126
00:11:56.920 --> 00:12:03.000
So your skin can look like, you know, better and younger, but not the other way around. Like,
127
00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:08.600
I don't want necessarily to look younger and compromise my skin health. I want to, you know,
128
00:12:08.600 --> 00:12:17.000
merge these two areas, and so that's where we found like a new angle to bring to the customer
129
00:12:17.000 --> 00:12:22.440
today that it's more health conscious, and they don't want to sacrifice, you know, their look,
130
00:12:22.440 --> 00:12:27.960
or their health in order to look better. It's such a refreshing way to hear you speak about this,
131
00:12:27.960 --> 00:12:33.160
because I think for women, we still, despite knowing better, understanding that we should get to
132
00:12:33.240 --> 00:12:37.720
the root cause, understanding prevention, we're still caught in the society where we're taught that
133
00:12:37.720 --> 00:12:43.800
younger is better. We have to look a certain way. And instead of the, you know, the pro-aging aspect,
134
00:12:43.800 --> 00:12:48.920
so wanting to look your age, but just wanting to look vibrant and healthy, and I think that word
135
00:12:48.920 --> 00:12:54.360
prevention is just so, so, so key. So can you maybe paint a picture? I know you've studied skin
136
00:12:54.360 --> 00:12:59.720
on so many levels, but what would you say are the biggest drivers that age are skin? What triggers
137
00:12:59.720 --> 00:13:06.760
are skin to age faster? Yeah, so basically we have two processes happening that are driving
138
00:13:06.760 --> 00:13:12.920
aging. One is the natural aging process or what we call intrinsic aging, you know, your cells are
139
00:13:12.920 --> 00:13:20.840
dividing, and then eventually they accumulate like old cells, and that's happening internally
140
00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:27.000
as a natural process. And then we have the extrinsic aging process that's basically all the
141
00:13:27.000 --> 00:13:34.840
environmental stresses that we are exposed on a daily basis, and UV exposure is the major one
142
00:13:34.840 --> 00:13:42.520
that can accelerate skin aging. So obviously we know the importance of, you know, not being overexposed,
143
00:13:42.520 --> 00:13:48.360
or not like getting sunburn, and one of the ways that we actually mimic aging the lab is exposing
144
00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:54.600
these skin cells to UV, and then we can see how much damage they accumulate and how much faster
145
00:13:55.080 --> 00:14:03.000
they age. So in terms of environmental stresses, UV aging, pollution, obviously what we eat or
146
00:14:03.000 --> 00:14:11.240
diet or lifestyle, this has a major impact in our skin as well. So usually we say that our genetics
147
00:14:11.240 --> 00:14:21.080
about 10 to 20%, and our lifestyle is about 80%. So a lot of, you know, what we can do to manage
148
00:14:21.160 --> 00:14:29.160
our skin ages, it's in our hands to control, which makes it more exciting because it shows that
149
00:14:29.960 --> 00:14:36.200
you know, we are in charge. So yeah, such a good point. When I think about often I go back, I
150
00:14:36.200 --> 00:14:40.840
grew up living on this ashram, and whenever I go back, it's these same swamis, these spiritual
151
00:14:40.840 --> 00:14:46.600
leaders who have been there, and I swear they age very slowly. And so every year I go back,
152
00:14:46.680 --> 00:14:51.560
and I think about like what are they exposed to? Healthy levels of sunlight, they're not really
153
00:14:51.560 --> 00:14:57.000
eating a lot of processed food, no processed food actually, less sugar, there's none of these like
154
00:14:57.000 --> 00:15:05.240
inflammatory trans fats or like those inflammatory oils that are found in foods. And I would say stress,
155
00:15:05.240 --> 00:15:09.880
right, there's kind of this, I'm sure they swamies do experience stress, but they have way less stress.
156
00:15:09.880 --> 00:15:15.080
So when we look at that as a trifecta, they're pretty hard to avoid in today's modern world,
157
00:15:15.080 --> 00:15:18.920
right? When we can't just escape and live peaceful lives, eating the best food,
158
00:15:19.560 --> 00:15:25.080
like you know, living in our modern world, we're just exposed to so many things, and alcohol,
159
00:15:25.080 --> 00:15:32.760
I'm guessing is another one that's up there, right? And alcohol is sleep, smoking, stress. I
160
00:15:32.760 --> 00:15:40.760
would say that this force probably like, you know, major drivers of aging inflammation, which affects
161
00:15:40.760 --> 00:15:46.840
our whole body, but obviously reflects in our skin as well. Yeah, absolutely. So there's this
162
00:15:46.840 --> 00:15:52.200
addiction then that we want to focus on, you know, these intense procedures that give us that
163
00:15:52.200 --> 00:15:57.640
surface level result, but it's not actually reversing the signs of aging. So can you talk to us
164
00:15:57.640 --> 00:16:02.600
why peptides then are so important in getting to that root cause? Yeah, and maybe let's talk about
165
00:16:02.600 --> 00:16:08.600
what is the root cause, at least that the way that we see it at one skin. Recent studies have
166
00:16:08.680 --> 00:16:15.960
shown that the accumulation of old cells in our bodies also called the senescent cells or zombie cells,
167
00:16:15.960 --> 00:16:21.720
it's one of the major drivers of aging in our whole body and also in our skin. So basically,
168
00:16:21.720 --> 00:16:28.040
these old cells are accumulating our skin and they start secreting inflammation and this inflammation
169
00:16:28.040 --> 00:16:35.080
will lead to collagen degradation and will also cause the cells around that are healthy to age
170
00:16:35.160 --> 00:16:41.400
faster. Well, that's why the more aging cells that you have in your skin, you know, the more
171
00:16:41.400 --> 00:16:49.400
signs of aging bring cause fine lines and and sagging, you will experience. So what one skin is
172
00:16:49.400 --> 00:16:56.440
doing that's differently from any other products out there, it's finding peptides and one more
173
00:16:56.440 --> 00:17:03.320
specifically that we found OS1 that can specifically decrease the load of these aging cells in
174
00:17:03.320 --> 00:17:10.840
the skin. So with fewer old cells, the healthy cells can proliferate, they can produce more collagen,
175
00:17:10.840 --> 00:17:17.400
so the skin can maintain that younger and functional state like for longer and we have less
176
00:17:17.400 --> 00:17:23.640
inflammation. So your skin is functioning well and it works in a very targeted way because we're
177
00:17:23.640 --> 00:17:29.800
not disturbing the healthy cells. So that's why it goes to the root cause because it's addressing,
178
00:17:29.880 --> 00:17:36.120
you know, what is propagating inflammation internally in our skin and it's not disturbing the
179
00:17:36.120 --> 00:17:43.800
healthy cells, we are actually allowing them to thrive and OS1 more specifically, we have actually
180
00:17:43.800 --> 00:17:51.880
tested 900 peptides to find OS1 that's this novel peptide that we discovered and it reduces up to
181
00:17:51.880 --> 00:17:59.160
40% the load of those aging cells and in turn what it does, it also reduces what we call the
182
00:17:59.160 --> 00:18:07.400
skin's biological age by 2.5 years and this is really exciting because as a scientist and we know
183
00:18:07.400 --> 00:18:13.960
that we can manage aging but this is the proof that we can actually reverse aging and we can quantify
184
00:18:13.960 --> 00:18:19.960
it and this is done in the lab in lab skins that we grow but it's already like a proof of concept
185
00:18:19.960 --> 00:18:25.960
that if this can be done in the lab, it can be done in humans and we're now running studies to show
186
00:18:26.040 --> 00:18:33.640
that in humans. Yeah, I'm smiling because for so many years we talk about inflammation and
187
00:18:33.640 --> 00:18:39.320
cells within our body that cause inflammation and how that can lead to systemic inflammation and
188
00:18:39.960 --> 00:18:47.320
I'm thinking that, you know, recently the word inflammation also, right, which naturally disrupts
189
00:18:47.320 --> 00:18:53.000
all of our body's functions but we've never put that through the lens of skincare and I want
190
00:18:53.080 --> 00:18:58.360
this to really land for the people listening because if you were to go to see an Eastern medicine
191
00:18:58.360 --> 00:19:03.960
doctor, diabetic medicine doctor or traditional Chinese medicine doctor, one of the things that they
192
00:19:03.960 --> 00:19:09.160
look at closely is your skin because they say that your skin is a direct representation of what's
193
00:19:09.160 --> 00:19:15.480
happening inside you amongst other things. So I think that this is so key because our skin is
194
00:19:15.480 --> 00:19:21.160
our largest organ and maybe in all this talk about, you know, anti-inflammatory foods and all the
195
00:19:21.160 --> 00:19:26.520
benefits for our insides, the conversation really needs to shift about the outside as well. So
196
00:19:26.520 --> 00:19:31.240
that's why this is so fascinating to me and it's just so important. So when you think about,
197
00:19:31.240 --> 00:19:37.640
if you can just break down then for listeners at a basic level then the concept of a peptide and
198
00:19:37.640 --> 00:19:43.480
what makes OS1 like really revolutionary in the anti-aging space compared to all the other peptides
199
00:19:43.560 --> 00:19:51.400
in the market. Yeah. So a peptide is basically a piece of a protein. It's a chain of amino acids.
200
00:19:51.400 --> 00:19:57.560
It can vary from a few amino acids up to 50 amino acids, usually to be able to penetrate
201
00:19:57.560 --> 00:20:03.480
this scheme. We should have a molecular weight that's like under or around a hundred thousand
202
00:20:03.480 --> 00:20:11.240
dollars of one thousand dollars and these peptides basically are these small molecules that can
203
00:20:11.240 --> 00:20:18.840
enter in the cell and can give a signal to that cell. So in our case, what we found that OS1
204
00:20:18.840 --> 00:20:25.720
does, it basically activates the DNA repair capacity. So for example, when we expose this scheme
205
00:20:25.720 --> 00:20:31.800
cells to UV damage, the ones that are treated with OS1, they don't accumulate damage because they
206
00:20:31.800 --> 00:20:38.760
are more efficient in repairing damage as they are, you know, induced and that's what prevents
207
00:20:38.760 --> 00:20:43.720
this aging process because in the end like aging is nothing more than an accumulation of damage
208
00:20:43.720 --> 00:20:50.920
that we are not able to repair over time. And how OS1 is different? One is that specifically,
209
00:20:50.920 --> 00:20:57.320
it's validated to reduce senescent cells. So has a mechanism of action that in the end leads to
210
00:20:57.320 --> 00:21:05.880
lower amount of aging cells. Also has a size and a confirmation in terms of the chemistry that
211
00:21:05.880 --> 00:21:11.160
can penetrate the scheme. So we don't know if a lot of the peptides are in the products out there,
212
00:21:11.160 --> 00:21:15.800
if they're actually getting delivered into the dermal layer, if they don't get to the dermal layer,
213
00:21:15.800 --> 00:21:22.520
they're not going to deliver the effects that you expect. I think the other piece in terms of
214
00:21:22.520 --> 00:21:28.920
stability, how stable they are in terms of different different temperatures, shelf life,
215
00:21:28.920 --> 00:21:35.880
and all of these we make sure to test in our products and make sure that we are delivering the
216
00:21:35.880 --> 00:21:44.760
right amount, the peptides is stable after months in the product and it's not causing any unexpected
217
00:21:44.760 --> 00:21:52.360
effect, any toxicity. So checking all of these boxes, it's really hard for because we test so
218
00:21:52.440 --> 00:22:00.680
many peptides. We knew how hard it is to find one that's really effective and that also again,
219
00:22:00.680 --> 00:22:06.360
it's reliable for the long term. So I'm not saying that ours is the only one that works. I am saying
220
00:22:06.360 --> 00:22:14.840
that we have validated how it works and it's a stable and effective and that's why I usually tell
221
00:22:14.840 --> 00:22:21.880
people, hey, ask the brands how this should work and how you have tested this because a lot of
222
00:22:21.880 --> 00:22:28.040
people they just load the product with a bunch of peptides and who knows if it's actually penetrating
223
00:22:28.040 --> 00:22:36.040
the skin. So I think that's where there could be a little bit of misleading marketing if they
224
00:22:36.040 --> 00:22:41.720
have not done other studies. Yeah, you got to read the ingredients and see what else is in there
225
00:22:41.720 --> 00:22:46.920
and I love the fact that, you know, I think listeners should know, the amount of years and
226
00:22:46.920 --> 00:22:52.600
efforts that you guys put into this before you even went to market. So that's what really impressed
227
00:22:52.600 --> 00:22:57.240
me is the data and the science that you have to back up all of these ingredients, which you won't
228
00:22:57.240 --> 00:23:03.160
find with most brands. And the word accumulation, we use that a lot on this show because I really
229
00:23:03.160 --> 00:23:10.040
think that our bodies are so resilient. Our skin is so resilient, but we live in a world where perhaps
230
00:23:10.600 --> 00:23:17.000
the kind of external, we're kind of being attacked by the air, the wind, the sun, the chemicals,
231
00:23:17.000 --> 00:23:21.080
the fragrances, everything that we're consuming in this world today. Gosh, in here in LA,
232
00:23:21.080 --> 00:23:26.360
after the fires too, just like everything that's changed around us. So it's really important to
233
00:23:26.360 --> 00:23:32.840
take this to heart because your skin also has to digest everything. And the concept of senescent
234
00:23:32.840 --> 00:23:40.760
cells is really key. So you said that a senescent cell will not only become senescent, it kind of
235
00:23:40.760 --> 00:23:45.560
sends out a message or it will impact everyone around it. So let's just call that negative energy
236
00:23:45.560 --> 00:23:51.160
that goes out to all the cells around it to speed up the aging process, which would speed up the
237
00:23:51.160 --> 00:23:58.440
process of DNA, just kind of destroying DNA, right? Or impacting, impacting DNA. So can you take
238
00:23:58.600 --> 00:24:06.440
us through that process on how how will our listeners really feel the long-term benefits of switching
239
00:24:06.440 --> 00:24:14.120
off senescent cells? Yeah, so if we can prove, and as you said, like the main detrimental factor of
240
00:24:14.120 --> 00:24:20.120
those senescent cells, it's this inflammation that they are secreting. So one of the ways that our
241
00:24:20.120 --> 00:24:26.520
peptide works is by shutting down inflammation pathways. So they are not spreading out this
242
00:24:26.520 --> 00:24:32.200
inflammation in the tissue and inducing other cells to spread more inflammation, creating that
243
00:24:32.200 --> 00:24:38.840
snowball. So by reducing inflammation, again, we can maintain the skin in that healthy,
244
00:24:38.840 --> 00:24:46.440
homeostasis state, that the skin will continue to produce collagen, you'll maintain a healthy skin
245
00:24:46.440 --> 00:24:54.040
barrier. So in the long term, you're going to see your skin firm, supple, more resilient against all
246
00:24:54.040 --> 00:24:59.560
of these environmental stressors that we are talking about. And with the continuous treatment
247
00:24:59.560 --> 00:25:06.200
of the peptide, in the end, you can even rejuvenate the skin, bring the skin to that younger state.
248
00:25:06.200 --> 00:25:13.240
So what I love about this concept that comes from within is that we're not here promising,
249
00:25:13.240 --> 00:25:21.000
you know, short results, like we're here to help your skin to be more functional, more resilient,
250
00:25:21.000 --> 00:25:27.960
like for the long term. And in five, 10 years from now, you'll be thinking yourself for investing
251
00:25:27.960 --> 00:25:34.600
in that kind of treatment because it's working to, you know, protect your skin to maintain your
252
00:25:34.600 --> 00:25:41.400
body healthy. And again, in a very gentle way, which I think that's very important because
253
00:25:41.400 --> 00:25:47.480
you can do things that are not very gentle. And then for the long term, it's not, you know,
254
00:25:47.480 --> 00:25:54.200
beneficial for you. You used a word resilience. I think it's one of my favorite words.
255
00:25:54.200 --> 00:25:58.200
Just build back the resilience of your body and of your skin. That's the whole purpose.
256
00:26:06.360 --> 00:26:10.840
Let's take a quick break from this episode to talk about something that's made a huge difference
257
00:26:10.840 --> 00:26:16.440
in my cellular health lately. It's a product called Fatty 15. If you're like me, always on the hunt
258
00:26:16.440 --> 00:26:22.600
for science-backed solutions for optimizing your health and longevity, check this out. Fatty 15
259
00:26:22.600 --> 00:26:29.640
contains a pure bioavailable form of C-15, which is a saturated fatty acid that's been coined
260
00:26:29.640 --> 00:26:35.560
the longevity nutrient by scientists. C-15 was discovered by Dr. Stephanie Ven Watson,
261
00:26:35.560 --> 00:26:41.320
a veterinary epidemiologist who was studying healthy aging in dolphins. What she found was
262
00:26:41.320 --> 00:26:47.720
game-changing. C-15 had a remarkable impact, not just on the dolphins, but on human health too.
263
00:26:47.720 --> 00:26:52.600
Here's what got me really excited about taking Fatty 15. The clinical research behind it has
264
00:26:52.600 --> 00:26:58.200
shown that it strengthens cell membranes, it boosts mitochondrial function, and it activates
265
00:26:58.200 --> 00:27:05.480
key pathways that control aging. It outperformed leading longevity compounds and providing over 36
266
00:27:05.480 --> 00:27:12.680
clinically relevant health benefits. And get this, 72% of users in a trial reported better sleep,
267
00:27:12.680 --> 00:27:19.400
better mood, better joints, and energy within 16 weeks. I've been taking Fatty 15 religiously
268
00:27:19.400 --> 00:27:24.920
as part of my wellness routine, and I have to say I feel a noticeable difference. My energy is more
269
00:27:24.920 --> 00:27:30.440
stable throughout the day, my sleep is deeper and more restful, and I just feel more resilient
270
00:27:30.520 --> 00:27:35.480
overall, like my cells have this extra layer of armor against stress and aging.
271
00:27:35.480 --> 00:27:41.160
The capsules are small and have a neutral smell and taste, and the refills come in a beautiful
272
00:27:41.160 --> 00:27:49.000
eco-friendly glass jar. I love that Fatty 15 is vegan. Pure C-15 without any fillers or preservatives,
273
00:27:49.000 --> 00:27:54.840
it feels like such a clean potent way to give my body this essential nutrient it needs to thrive.
274
00:27:54.840 --> 00:28:00.280

280
00:28:35.800 --> 00:28:41.080
So give a thing that's very unique, I would say, to the studies that you have often when you go
281
00:28:41.080 --> 00:28:46.120
into a bigger chain and you're reading, you know, the clinical studies that you find.
282
00:28:46.120 --> 00:28:52.680
If you read the fine print, it will say users reported feeling a difference in their skin within
283
00:28:52.680 --> 00:28:57.160
four weeks. What does it even mean? Reported feeling a difference in their skin within a few weeks,
284
00:28:57.160 --> 00:29:02.200
right? I'm sure they're not actually looking at the depths of their epithelial cells to see what's
285
00:29:02.200 --> 00:29:07.640
happening at the surface and beyond. Yeah, there's a big difference. Yeah, and I think that's like a very
286
00:29:07.640 --> 00:29:14.520
good point. A lot of the brains, they'll do only consumer studies that, you know, evaluate subjective
287
00:29:14.520 --> 00:29:22.520
analysis and we all know that, you know, first like there can be some initial benefits that are,
288
00:29:22.520 --> 00:29:30.760
you know, more like quick fixes or surface levels, but obviously we are always biased. So it's
289
00:29:30.760 --> 00:29:37.880
important to quantify in ways that are more accurate that are not only relying on subjective
290
00:29:37.880 --> 00:29:44.040
perception. So whenever we do a clinical study, first we make sure that's ran by a third
291
00:29:44.040 --> 00:29:49.560
party organization. We measure, yes, the subjective perception because in the end, this is also
292
00:29:49.560 --> 00:29:55.960
important, but we have like a clinical grade evaluation that a professional will evaluate your
293
00:29:55.960 --> 00:30:01.320
fine lines, wrinkles, and we'll quantify this in a blinded way. They don't know which product
294
00:30:01.320 --> 00:30:07.480
who is using what. And a third, we use instruments because the instruments will give you more
295
00:30:07.480 --> 00:30:13.240
quantitative measurement. And in the end, you combine all of that to get your conclusion if you have
296
00:30:13.240 --> 00:30:22.120
like significant improvement because otherwise you can just be again, misled by this subjective
297
00:30:22.120 --> 00:30:28.600
perception that is not really, I would say, data backed. Yeah, exactly. And yeah, good point.
298
00:30:28.600 --> 00:30:33.400
It definitely does matter how you feel in your skin and how you feel after a few weeks, but
299
00:30:33.400 --> 00:30:38.360
backed with the clinical studies, I think is what's really going to give us the long-term advocacy
300
00:30:38.840 --> 00:30:46.200
for using products. And speaking to, you know, I love the sun. Carolina, I love the sun so much.
301
00:30:46.200 --> 00:30:51.240
I try to be good. I'm very good with, you know, using a great quality sunblock. I love yours.
302
00:30:51.240 --> 00:30:56.440
I actually used it on my kids this weekend also. And I love the way that it feels on my skin.
303
00:30:56.440 --> 00:30:59.880
It doesn't feel like I need to take shower, wash my hands right after, which is so special.
304
00:30:59.880 --> 00:31:05.800
But as a result, you know, now in my 40s, looking at harsh treatments like retinols and chemical
305
00:31:05.800 --> 00:31:10.040
peels and all the things that exist out there, I get asked what my clients about these all the
306
00:31:10.040 --> 00:31:15.400
time. But what are they really doing to the skin? Yeah. So, and I agree with you. I love the sun as
307
00:31:15.400 --> 00:31:21.400
well. I'm Brazilian. And I think there is a way that we can still enjoy the sun. And that to
308
00:31:21.400 --> 00:31:27.640
bring so much again, good energy that in the end, I think relieves this inflammation and help us
309
00:31:27.640 --> 00:31:34.200
to look like better. And using a good sunblock, it's a way that you can, you know, have both.
310
00:31:34.520 --> 00:31:43.720
My main obviously advices never get some burn. So when I avoid that point, in terms of chemical
311
00:31:43.720 --> 00:31:50.280
peels and acids, what they usually do is basically ripping off like the upper layers of your skin.
312
00:31:50.280 --> 00:31:56.120
So right now, for example, retinoic acid is one of the key ingredients in anti-aging products
313
00:31:56.120 --> 00:32:02.360
works by inducing this cell renew in which you induce the upper layers of your skin to come off.
314
00:32:02.360 --> 00:32:08.040
And you're going to grow a new layer, a fresher layer. So during this process, first you are
315
00:32:08.040 --> 00:32:13.720
removing your barrier, the barrier of the skin because you're inducing this renew. So your skin
316
00:32:13.720 --> 00:32:20.840
is temporarily exposed. So you need to be, you know, more careful about the sun, about all the potential
317
00:32:20.840 --> 00:32:27.400
environmental stress or so some block super important. But I think the other differentiator of this,
318
00:32:27.400 --> 00:32:32.280
you know, this approach is that again, you are inducing this cell renew. So we're removing the good
319
00:32:32.280 --> 00:32:37.080
and the bad cells, the ones that are already old, but also the healthy ones because it's basically
320
00:32:37.080 --> 00:32:44.040
peeling off all of the layers. And it's okay. It's, I mean, it's okay if you don't, in a way that's not
321
00:32:44.840 --> 00:32:51.800
super aggressive. If people are not over irritated, if they are not feeling red, you know, having the
322
00:32:51.800 --> 00:32:59.000
redness of the time, some people can tolerate red now well. But if you are constantly irritated,
323
00:32:59.000 --> 00:33:04.760
I would say that either you need to dial it down or pair with a product that's actually calming
324
00:33:04.760 --> 00:33:11.720
down your skin while you're red now can be potentially inducing that redness. So we usually say that
325
00:33:12.440 --> 00:33:18.520
for people that can tolerate, you can pair with a product like one skin that basically counterregs
326
00:33:18.520 --> 00:33:23.800
the side effects, the potential side effects of red now. And for those that who cannot tolerate
327
00:33:23.800 --> 00:33:30.600
that have sensitive skin or just want a more gentle treatment to their skin, one skin is an
328
00:33:30.600 --> 00:33:37.480
alternative that can deliver the collagen production at similar levels that red now, hyaluronic acid
329
00:33:37.480 --> 00:33:45.880
production doesn't disturb your barrier and doesn't have any of the, you know, redness or irritation.
330
00:33:45.880 --> 00:33:52.520
So there is, there is the option for, you know, both type of like customers in terms of what they
331
00:33:52.520 --> 00:33:58.440
like to approach today's skin. Yeah, I'm sure you guys get us that question all the time. You know,
332
00:33:58.440 --> 00:34:03.480
if you were to pair it with other modalities, what would they be? And I have a lot of clients who
333
00:34:03.480 --> 00:34:08.680
are trying to make the transition from a lot of the more inflammatory products or treatments that
334
00:34:08.680 --> 00:34:13.480
you and I talked about. And it almost takes this transition period. Like you've got to just allow
335
00:34:13.640 --> 00:34:18.760
your skin to almost detox the products that you were using until you adjust to a new skin care
336
00:34:18.760 --> 00:34:25.240
line. Like, if you give yourself the time to actually see and feel the results. Yeah, I usually
337
00:34:25.240 --> 00:34:33.560
say that in skincare, my approach is that less is more. I think we've gone like way too far in
338
00:34:33.560 --> 00:34:39.480
trying to overload our skin with active. And we clearly see this in the lab when we're developing
339
00:34:39.480 --> 00:34:44.360
a new formula, we start with a basic formula and we have the peptide and then we
340
00:34:45.640 --> 00:34:51.720
at, you know, add new active and we are always measuring the impact in the skin. And a lot of
341
00:34:51.720 --> 00:34:58.280
times more active is not always better. The active, they can cancel each other or they can
342
00:34:58.280 --> 00:35:05.320
induce like more overreaction in the skin, kind of more inflammation. So there is a balance in
343
00:35:05.320 --> 00:35:11.560
the amount of active and the amount of like stimulus that you want to deliver to your skin.
344
00:35:11.560 --> 00:35:17.320
And so whenever people want to basically start over refresh, I would just say like, you know,
345
00:35:17.320 --> 00:35:24.600
less is more and stick to a product for like three months and see if you, you know, if you want
346
00:35:24.600 --> 00:35:31.320
to add other products. But today there is a way that we can have like a healthy skin without
347
00:35:32.040 --> 00:35:38.840
overwhelming, you know, our skin or ourselves with like so much time in products that we need
348
00:35:38.840 --> 00:35:45.880
to apply. So that's our philosophy and that's also, you know, a reflection of what we have seen
349
00:35:45.880 --> 00:35:52.360
in the lab by sometimes testing, you know, different combination of active that not always
350
00:35:52.360 --> 00:35:58.440
lead to a better result. Yeah, I love the point of that out. A full transparency when I made
351
00:35:58.440 --> 00:36:03.640
the transition to one skin, I simply had a microdermabrasion or sorry, a microneedling
352
00:36:03.640 --> 00:36:09.000
appointment, which felt really good. But I will say that in a few days after because obviously it
353
00:36:09.000 --> 00:36:14.360
causes inflammation at the surface of the skin, my skin healed really quickly after using one skin
354
00:36:14.360 --> 00:36:20.040
on top of it, like a noticeable difference afterwards. Yeah, a lot of customers have reported that
355
00:36:20.040 --> 00:36:27.080
both in microneedling but also if laser, if they, because if your skin is as we said resilient
356
00:36:27.080 --> 00:36:35.000
and healthy, it will bounce back from that like mild injury really fast while if your skin is fragile
357
00:36:35.000 --> 00:36:42.360
because you're already doing a lot of exfoliation or acids or feelings, then it's gonna be slower
358
00:36:42.360 --> 00:36:50.520
in kind of regenerating itself. So that's why I think we can pair one skin with these procedures
359
00:36:50.520 --> 00:36:58.360
and you will recover fast but are really reflecting again the resilience of your skin and I love
360
00:36:58.360 --> 00:37:03.480
seeing that. I love seeing that too and there's so many women who I'm now noticing like you really
361
00:37:03.480 --> 00:37:08.760
I'm gonna point out, you know, I'm always concerned about sunspots as I age or age spots. But again,
362
00:37:08.760 --> 00:37:13.960
I think it's a constructive aging that I just I don't have to believe like I'm taking that as a
363
00:37:13.960 --> 00:37:19.400
cue on some inner work that I need to do for that resilience. I can use that word again and again
364
00:37:19.400 --> 00:37:25.720
and the other thing that is such a buzzword these days is collagen, right? We're looking for
365
00:37:25.720 --> 00:37:31.480
to consume collagen, to use collagen based products, to use collagen serums, you name it.
366
00:37:31.480 --> 00:37:36.040
So can you talk to us a little about your opinion on trends like collagen and the other one's
367
00:37:36.040 --> 00:37:41.080
hyaluronic acid and I feel like hyaluronic acid you can get from a natural source but you're the
368
00:37:41.080 --> 00:37:48.120
expert take it through collagen and hyaluronic acid. Yeah, so both are really important for our skin
369
00:37:48.120 --> 00:37:54.520
it based, you know, hyaluronic acid will hold hold a lot of water moisture so will help your skin
370
00:37:54.520 --> 00:38:02.040
to be plump and and the collagen is going to give the firmness a structure. To me, the best way
371
00:38:02.040 --> 00:38:08.840
is to activate your skin cells to produce those molecules. So as much as possible, make sure that
372
00:38:08.840 --> 00:38:14.920
the products that we're using have some data showing that it can activate collagen production
373
00:38:14.920 --> 00:38:21.640
and hyaluronic acid production. Applying collagen publicly, unless they have studies showing that
374
00:38:21.640 --> 00:38:27.960
it can penetrate in the skin or some of the metabolites can be, you know, active in the skin,
375
00:38:27.960 --> 00:38:34.120
it's a large molecule. You can a lot of times just sit on top of your skin so may not like work
376
00:38:34.120 --> 00:38:41.320
in that way. Consuming collagen already can be a way that you can help your skin to again,
377
00:38:41.400 --> 00:38:47.880
having the building blocks that it needs to produce its own collagen. There is no guarantee that
378
00:38:47.880 --> 00:38:53.320
the collagen that you're taking is going to go to your skin, it can go to your tendons, it can go to
379
00:38:53.320 --> 00:38:59.720
many other parts of your body that's also made of collagen. So there are studies showing that
380
00:38:59.720 --> 00:39:06.440
collagen supplementation can improve skin but I would say that will depend on your health
381
00:39:06.440 --> 00:39:12.040
if you have other needs and for those, you know, participants in the study worked but depending
382
00:39:12.040 --> 00:39:18.680
on what's going on in your body, your body will basically designate like the best use for that
383
00:39:18.680 --> 00:39:25.880
collagen. But if the collagen has a good source and it's like a pure of, you know, kind of other
384
00:39:25.880 --> 00:39:32.360
impurities, it is a good molecule. It's usually a antioxidant so it's not that taking
385
00:39:32.440 --> 00:39:38.680
collagen can be bad for you as long as it comes from a good source. Yeah, look for an amazing
386
00:39:38.680 --> 00:39:43.640
source that really matters. I've yet to see anyone who takes a collagen supplement who feels like
387
00:39:43.640 --> 00:39:49.480
they got a facelift or anything like that, right? Everything is, you know, it's mild,
388
00:39:49.480 --> 00:39:56.280
it's complimentary. So for those who want to take a step further, I think for me, I mean,
389
00:39:56.280 --> 00:40:02.920
protein intake is very important and we want to make sure that we're keeping our lean mass so as,
390
00:40:02.920 --> 00:40:08.440
you know, we're growing, oh, they're super, super important. So I always like very careful about,
391
00:40:08.440 --> 00:40:13.640
you know, protein intake and make sure that I'm exercising to maintain this will also affect
392
00:40:13.640 --> 00:40:19.640
your skin and collagen. If you want to go a step further, you know, it's up to you. There are some
393
00:40:19.640 --> 00:40:27.480
studies that support that it's not like 100% conclusive. Yeah, absolutely. I love that. I do see
394
00:40:27.480 --> 00:40:32.600
a difference if I'm taking collagen mostly in my nails. They feel a little bit more firm. Yeah,
395
00:40:32.600 --> 00:40:46.520
that's about it. Let's take a quick break to talk about something that's made a huge difference
396
00:40:46.520 --> 00:40:52.280
in my skin health lately. A product called one skin. If you're like me always on the hunt for
397
00:40:52.280 --> 00:40:57.480
a wellness solution for optimizing your skin's health and longevity, you need to hear about this one.
398
00:40:57.480 --> 00:41:03.000
Most skincare products focus on surface level results, but one skin goes way deeper working
399
00:41:03.000 --> 00:41:09.800
at a cellular level for lasting results. They're amazing. All women team of skin longevity scientists
400
00:41:09.800 --> 00:41:17.240
developed OS1 after testing over 900 peptides. It's the first ingredient scientifically proven
401
00:41:17.240 --> 00:41:24.040
to interrupt cellular senescence, a core aging process. As we age and get exposed to UV rays,
402
00:41:24.040 --> 00:41:29.960
our skin cells enter senescence. They stop rejuvenating and producing collagen and elastin like they
403
00:41:29.960 --> 00:41:35.720
should. And even worse, they release harmful inflammatory chemicals and cause neighboring cells
404
00:41:35.720 --> 00:41:41.240
to become dysfunctional too. It's like a domino effect that makes our skin age faster with deeper
405
00:41:41.240 --> 00:41:48.040
wrinkles, thinning, and sagging what we all want to avoid. But one skin's OS1 switches off these
406
00:41:48.040 --> 00:41:53.880
senescence cells, getting to the root cause of skin aging. It helps our skin stay younger and healthier,
407
00:41:53.880 --> 00:42:00.360
and since skin is our body's largest organ, the health of our skin is absolutely critical to our
408
00:42:00.360 --> 00:42:05.560
overall health. That's why I personally love one skin. I've noticed a real difference in the
409
00:42:05.560 --> 00:42:11.800
resilience and youthfulness of my skin since using it regularly. As a rooted in wellness listener,

And you have food as such an important piece, right? So when I think about oxidative stress and
416
00:42:58.440 --> 00:43:02.920
often if I'm talking internally within the body, I think it's interesting that no matter what part
417
00:43:02.920 --> 00:43:08.200
of the body you're really talking about, and even the science that's there to prove things like
418
00:43:08.200 --> 00:43:15.560
foods that are high in omega-3 fatty acids or high in vitamin C or polyphenols like green tea,
419
00:43:15.560 --> 00:43:20.040
especially, right? These antioxidants, I think that those are the foods, like if you're looking
420
00:43:20.040 --> 00:43:24.760
to complement your skin care with anything, focus on what you're consuming from that aspect,
421
00:43:24.760 --> 00:43:29.560
but also hydration, right? Like most people are chronically dehydrated. I think that there's
422
00:43:29.560 --> 00:43:35.560
a good way to hydrate the skin. And in today's world, we're overcaffeinating, we're drinking
423
00:43:35.560 --> 00:43:41.080
sugary drinks, we're drinking alcohol, which the analogy I always use is like,
424
00:43:41.240 --> 00:43:45.880
and sucks all the moisture out of your skin, which is going to make you look older. So,
425
00:43:45.880 --> 00:43:50.920
yeah, hydration is so essential. I'm curious on that. Do you have specific practices,
426
00:43:50.920 --> 00:43:57.000
like your skin is glowing and gorgeous? Do you have other lifestyle and diet practices that you
427
00:43:57.000 --> 00:44:02.840
are often asked about? Yeah, I think, you know, going back to the diet, I think that some of
428
00:44:02.840 --> 00:44:07.640
these nutrients that you mentioned, they are definitely super important. The omega-3s and the
429
00:44:07.640 --> 00:44:14.440
antioxidants, we know that a lot of the aging comes from the free radicals and the antioxidants
430
00:44:14.440 --> 00:44:20.600
can like neutralize the free radicals. So, consuming this with like a healthy diet and
431
00:44:21.400 --> 00:44:26.920
less processed food, and you can supplement like omega-3s. For example, sometimes it's hard for
432
00:44:26.920 --> 00:44:34.360
you to have the right balance there. So, for me, I try again to have this more clean diet and
433
00:44:34.360 --> 00:44:42.760
more mediterranean kind of diet, and in a supplement with like the basics, I'd say, more of
434
00:44:42.760 --> 00:44:49.160
multivitamins that supplemented omega-3s. I do add, you know, a little bit of collagen here,
435
00:44:49.160 --> 00:44:56.120
they're not very consistent, but I'm trying to be better. Other lifestyles for me, so hydration,
436
00:44:56.120 --> 00:45:00.840
we're talking about hydration. I think one important thing is also adding electrolytes,
437
00:45:00.920 --> 00:45:07.080
right, because a lot of times not only drinking a lot of water will help you to be hydrated. So,
438
00:45:07.080 --> 00:45:13.880
and now in the winter, super, super important, be mindful of the heaters, be mindful of the hot
439
00:45:13.880 --> 00:45:20.680
showers and having humid fires, and even when applying your skincare on a trick that you can
440
00:45:20.680 --> 00:45:27.000
use is like, make your skin a little dump and then apply the moisturizer. So, there's already water
441
00:45:27.240 --> 00:45:32.680
there, so it's going to hold up that water better, but I think in the winter primarily, we need to be
442
00:45:32.680 --> 00:45:40.040
kind of extra careful with the dehydration, because that's when your skin is going to get irritated,
443
00:45:40.040 --> 00:45:46.600
the your skin barrier will be compromised, so you can have more issues. And the other thing that
444
00:45:46.600 --> 00:45:54.360
to me is super key is sleep, and I'm trying, you know, to master my sleep as much as possible,
445
00:45:54.440 --> 00:46:01.160
kind of tracking it, but to me, also magnesium supplementation helped me a lot, increasing the
446
00:46:01.160 --> 00:46:07.240
quality of my sleep, and that's something that I'm very, very mindful. It impacts my whole day,
447
00:46:07.240 --> 00:46:15.080
my mood, my everything. Yeah, I treat my morning hydration like a ritual. I have a big fan of
448
00:46:15.080 --> 00:46:20.200
minerals, and as I was thinking about that in my morning ritual, everything you're talking about
449
00:46:20.280 --> 00:46:25.720
essentially is building a foundation, right? Even the way that OS1 is building up the foundation
450
00:46:25.720 --> 00:46:32.440
for epithelial layers for, you know, as a peptide, it's so important. And if we think about our skin,
451
00:46:33.400 --> 00:46:37.720
to see there's like a picture floating around on social media of a flower out in the sun,
452
00:46:37.720 --> 00:46:43.720
and immediately like we can't just put a cream on the flower and expect it to heal against dehydrated,
453
00:46:43.720 --> 00:46:48.120
you go straight to the roots, and you build the foundation, and you're speaking to the foundations
454
00:46:48.120 --> 00:46:54.840
that we love, sleep, food, hydration, rest, stress management, amino acids, electrolytes, protein,
455
00:46:54.840 --> 00:46:59.880
all of the really, really yummy things that were integrated. Everything is integrated together,
456
00:46:59.880 --> 00:47:04.760
so I think it's so important that we kind of connect the dots for everyone listening as well.
457
00:47:04.760 --> 00:47:11.240
Yeah, and I think one thing that we talked a little bit about less is it's more, but also be mindful
458
00:47:11.240 --> 00:47:16.360
of even if you're few products, like the ones that you're putting to your skin, right? Like in terms
459
00:47:16.360 --> 00:47:23.080
of the ingredient list, like are there toxic, like do they have, you know, some fragrance,
460
00:47:23.080 --> 00:47:29.800
or essential oils, or there are a lot of irritants out there that people need to be very careful
461
00:47:29.800 --> 00:47:35.800
to see what they're actually, you know, applying their skin. There are several organizations that
462
00:47:35.800 --> 00:47:41.880
can help you to evaluate the safety. We usually, you know, talk more about the safety than if
463
00:47:41.880 --> 00:47:47.320
the products are clean or not, because this can be a little misleading. But for example,
464
00:47:47.320 --> 00:47:53.080
for one skin, and in other brands, obviously approved as well, there is the National Exam
465
00:47:53.080 --> 00:47:59.400
of Foundation that really evaluates the ingredient list, the concentration, and gives a seal of
466
00:47:59.400 --> 00:48:06.040
approval for sensitive skin. So we know that that product is not going to cause any toxicity.
467
00:48:06.120 --> 00:48:11.960
There is also the skin safe products. There is other organizations that can help you really
468
00:48:11.960 --> 00:48:19.160
evaluating if a certain product, you know, contain any ingredient that can be causing some toxicity,
469
00:48:19.160 --> 00:48:24.360
because at the least for one skin, we are free of like 1500 potential irritants,
470
00:48:24.360 --> 00:48:30.200
but it's hard for the consumer to know like, what are the 1500s that I needed to know about? So
471
00:48:30.200 --> 00:48:35.880
I think that's another important point that people need to be aware when, you know, picking their
472
00:48:35.880 --> 00:48:41.080
skin care. Such a good thing to call out. That's so important. I remember when I worked in cosmetics,
473
00:48:41.080 --> 00:48:48.280
the FDA can create umbrella term words for ingredients that can include one, 10, 20 ingredients
474
00:48:48.280 --> 00:48:53.960
under one name. So you might have a safer brand. I'm not going to say clean because I think even
475
00:48:54.040 --> 00:49:00.840
that concept, clean beauty is like, no, it can't exist. It has to be safe, clean ingredients,
476
00:49:00.840 --> 00:49:04.920
you know, walk into Sephora and look at their clean beauty, read their ingredient labels, and
477
00:49:04.920 --> 00:49:10.760
you will see for yourself that it's not necessarily clean, right? So safer is a great word to use.
478
00:49:10.760 --> 00:49:16.120
And something that is so special to you, I was so impressed at the fact that one skin
479
00:49:16.120 --> 00:49:23.480
that you guys as a brand created a very simple skin care routine. There's not 27 products that I
480
00:49:23.480 --> 00:49:28.600
need to buy into. It's not taking me 20 minutes at night to go through my skin care regime.
481
00:49:28.600 --> 00:49:34.360
I feel like what you've given me as a woman, as a consumer, or just the essentials. And it's
482
00:49:34.360 --> 00:49:39.560
the essentials that I love. So two products where I feel it like I really notice a difference
483
00:49:39.560 --> 00:49:45.160
is with your topical face product and your eye cream. They're a game changer for me. Like I
484
00:49:45.160 --> 00:49:49.720
instantly feel hydrated. But then I love that there's not 10 more steps after that. So was
485
00:49:50.120 --> 00:49:56.760
there was that intentional? Yes, definitely intentional. One because I personally, I also don't have
486
00:49:56.760 --> 00:50:03.960
time or the patients to have like 10 skin care products. And I think for the consumer, the consumer
487
00:50:03.960 --> 00:50:11.320
in general is trying to again simplify and and find the ways that they they can have like a good
488
00:50:11.320 --> 00:50:17.800
skin without spending too much or taking too much time. So for us, it's really, and we call
489
00:50:17.880 --> 00:50:24.200
our products like essential moisturizer for a reason. We want to find like develop the main
490
00:50:24.200 --> 00:50:30.120
products that someone needs to have like a very healthy skin. And obviously if you want to add
491
00:50:30.120 --> 00:50:37.320
other layers of serum or a deeper moisturizer, you can layer that. But this provides that foundation
492
00:50:37.320 --> 00:50:43.240
that will guarantee that your skin is in a good place in terms of health, resilience and fighting
493
00:50:43.960 --> 00:50:49.640
so I love the tool that you mentioned. And I think one interesting data that we had about the
494
00:50:49.640 --> 00:50:55.160
eye product and why we decided to develop an eye product because a lot of people can say,
495
00:50:55.160 --> 00:51:01.800
oh, an eye product is just like a more expensive moisturizer in a smaller bottle. But we found
496
00:51:01.800 --> 00:51:09.080
from our research that the skin around the eyes just underneath or above the eyes is 20 to 30 years
497
00:51:09.080 --> 00:51:15.880
older than the skin around the table or the, you know, your cheeks. And the product was like,
498
00:51:15.880 --> 00:51:21.640
okay, yes, we do see that age faster, but we didn't know how much faster. So we know that
499
00:51:21.640 --> 00:51:27.640
the skin is five times thinner and it's more delicate. So it's more sensitive. So we actually
500
00:51:27.640 --> 00:51:34.440
developed this formula by testing in eyelid skins that we got from, you know, blepharoplastic
501
00:51:35.400 --> 00:51:41.000
surgeries. And so we could really develop a formula that was more potent in terms of the
502
00:51:41.000 --> 00:51:48.360
the active but at the same time very gentle and not like reactive to the delicate skin of your eye.
503
00:51:48.360 --> 00:51:55.000
So from the studies that we developed, we saw that it produced collagen like two times more than
504
00:51:55.000 --> 00:52:02.200
the face product and also the clinical studies in terms of the hydration and the elasticity.
505
00:52:02.200 --> 00:52:08.920
It is the strongest data that we have for all of our product. So this product is kind of like
506
00:52:08.920 --> 00:52:15.080
the most, you know, concentrated potent version that we have. So for those that, again,
507
00:52:15.080 --> 00:52:21.960
want to give a little extra care to their eyes, it's one that we have amazing results.
508
00:52:21.960 --> 00:52:27.480
And I just want to share about the body because the body people are so obsessed. And I think it's
509
00:52:27.560 --> 00:52:33.960
one of the areas that we forget about, and we always, you know, our face and neck and
510
00:52:33.960 --> 00:52:41.400
our neck, but the body is again, as we get older and get closer to menopause, our skin is going
511
00:52:41.400 --> 00:52:49.160
to get like thinner and we'll experience like the crateness. And our body can not only like
512
00:52:49.160 --> 00:52:55.240
promote like a very beautiful effect in reversing some of that crateness, but it is strengthened
513
00:52:55.480 --> 00:53:02.520
the skin in a way that maintain your skin like strong and resilient for longer. So we also see
514
00:53:02.520 --> 00:53:08.280
like a lot of customers that maybe have a very fragile skin when the skin really starts to tear
515
00:53:08.280 --> 00:53:15.720
and break. And now they can recover that resilience. So for older people, this is incredible.
516
00:53:15.720 --> 00:53:21.240
For people that want to prevent any kind of, you know, crateness and get, you know, getting
517
00:53:21.240 --> 00:53:28.040
closer to menopause of women that are going to, you know, pregnancy, it's a, it's an incredible
518
00:53:28.040 --> 00:53:35.640
product. And yeah, I just like really like to share because people have seen so many amazing
519
00:53:35.640 --> 00:53:41.160
results. And I love that you call that out. We cannot forget about our bodies. The changes that
520
00:53:41.160 --> 00:53:45.960
happen in your 40s as a woman, I was always like, yeah, yeah, it's not going to happen. It's not
521
00:53:45.960 --> 00:53:50.520
going to happen. And the here I am, wishing I just had a screw at the top of my head that could
522
00:53:50.520 --> 00:53:57.560
just like tighten and lift everything. But whether you're in your 40s or not, if you're in your
523
00:53:57.560 --> 00:54:04.040
20s, prevention is everything. So the earlier that you can start, I think, the better. And again,
524
00:54:04.040 --> 00:54:07.800
you're building back the resilience of the skin. So you're just supporting your skin and
525
00:54:07.800 --> 00:54:12.840
functioning at its best. I love that you brought that up. Yeah, thinning skinned. It's a thing.
526
00:54:12.840 --> 00:54:16.920
It's a real thing. And I think a lot of those chemical treatments that you were talking about
527
00:54:16.920 --> 00:54:21.800
also, I know for me, a couple of years ago, I did a round of retinal creams and it was just thinning
528
00:54:21.800 --> 00:54:28.040
my skin. I just, for me, I had to stop. It didn't work for me. Yeah, yeah. And I think that's an
529
00:54:28.040 --> 00:54:35.480
important topic because you can obviously over induce that, you know, cell renew and causes some
530
00:54:35.480 --> 00:54:43.400
exhaustion of your skin. So make sure that you are careful with like not doing too much,
531
00:54:43.400 --> 00:54:49.320
yet you can cause that thinning effect. Yes, absolutely. When we think about anti-aging
532
00:54:49.320 --> 00:54:54.680
products that are out there, you know, I remember working for brands and, you know, we were part
533
00:54:54.680 --> 00:55:00.040
of the marketing team. So coming up with these stories to tell a story from this beautiful
534
00:55:00.040 --> 00:55:04.440
grape that was found in the South of France. And there's molecules that are going to work as
535
00:55:04.440 --> 00:55:09.880
antioxidants in your skin to help you age slower. And then you look at the ingredient labels and
536
00:55:10.040 --> 00:55:14.440
there's like 50 ingredients. And then the antioxidant that they mentioned is literally the last
537
00:55:14.440 --> 00:55:18.760
ingredient that's on there. So this isn't about bashing other brands. There's so many beautiful
538
00:55:18.760 --> 00:55:24.520
brands out there. But it's really about like becoming an expert in what you're using and understanding
539
00:55:24.520 --> 00:55:29.320
why I think that that's so important. So for our listeners, if they're in this world of looking
540
00:55:29.320 --> 00:55:34.200
for anti-age products, what is something that people should look for in the products in terms of
541
00:55:34.200 --> 00:55:38.840
like what will be effective and what won't? Can you make umbrella statements like that?
542
00:55:38.840 --> 00:55:43.400
Like I can imagine, we talked about a few of them, things like fragrances and I'm sure,
543
00:55:43.400 --> 00:55:47.480
you know, phthalates and parabens and all those nasty things that we used to hear of.
544
00:55:47.480 --> 00:55:50.280
But do you see a lot of other sales gimmicks that happen?
545
00:55:50.280 --> 00:55:56.760
Yeah, I think, as you said, like a lot of times, you can have like an amazing,
546
00:55:56.760 --> 00:56:03.560
important active that by itself can work. But when you load the product with a lot of these
547
00:56:03.640 --> 00:56:08.920
other potentially toxic ingredients, and that's what we have seen in the skins when we're
548
00:56:08.920 --> 00:56:13.640
testing the lab and we start testing these best sellers and anti-aging products that cost like
549
00:56:13.640 --> 00:56:20.360
$300. And we apply to the skin and the skin literally starts to degenerate. Like it is
550
00:56:20.360 --> 00:56:26.040
visually shocking. And at first we thought, okay, this is a narrow and repeated over and over
551
00:56:26.040 --> 00:56:32.200
and was very consistent. So in the end, it's all about the full formula. What the product is
552
00:56:32.200 --> 00:56:38.520
delivering. And ideally, you want to see some kind of studies showing that, you know, that product,
553
00:56:38.520 --> 00:56:45.240
that full formula, it's not causing any toxicity. It's not promoting that internal inflammation.
554
00:56:45.240 --> 00:56:51.480
That's what we saw a lot in our studies. And so it is the combination of the ingredients.
555
00:56:51.480 --> 00:56:55.560
And that's why you need to look the whole thing. You can have a very potent
556
00:56:55.640 --> 00:57:01.640
antioxidant that could work in very small amounts. Sometimes it's not like those, I mean,
557
00:57:01.640 --> 00:57:08.440
it's not the amount, but like the dose can work. But depending on what else it's in that formula,
558
00:57:08.440 --> 00:57:12.360
you may not have the benefit that you would expect.
559
00:57:12.360 --> 00:57:17.720
Yes, such a good point. Yeah. Just because it's loaded with so many ingredients doesn't make it
560
00:57:18.360 --> 00:57:26.600
more effective. You know, one skin is definitely on the list of brands that I just, I love for my
561
00:57:26.600 --> 00:57:30.680
clients. When I start working with people, the first question is always, you know, tell me about
562
00:57:30.680 --> 00:57:35.640
what I should eat and what's the supplement protocol. And often on our first call, I'm going
563
00:57:35.640 --> 00:57:40.280
through all of the products that they're using. We're throwing so many of them into the trash
564
00:57:40.280 --> 00:57:44.520
because they're not effective or they're just generally not safe. So I love that you brought
565
00:57:44.920 --> 00:57:50.680
that up. And I love that as a brand, one, all of the female founders making it a badass company.
566
00:57:50.680 --> 00:57:54.600
And I'm also in love with the fact that on your website, you offer refills.
567
00:57:55.560 --> 00:58:02.120
Yeah. Yeah. Sustainability is super important for us. So for almost all of our products, if they
568
00:58:02.120 --> 00:58:07.160
are not refillable, they are recyclable. And that's something that we invested that really have
569
00:58:07.160 --> 00:58:13.640
linked terms of developing this customized bottles that can be refillable. Because in the end,
570
00:58:13.640 --> 00:58:20.280
again, we need to take care of our skin, but also take care of our planet. So yeah, we have
571
00:58:21.000 --> 00:58:27.880
also partnership with another company called I forgot's purpose in blanking on the name,
572
00:58:27.880 --> 00:58:34.520
but we make sure that we are neutral in plastic footprint. So that's something that if we cannot
573
00:58:34.520 --> 00:58:40.280
offset ourselves, you know, as a company, we'll make sure that we are working with another partner
574
00:58:40.280 --> 00:58:46.040
to neutralize any plastic footprint. And is there anything excited? I love that initiative
575
00:58:46.040 --> 00:58:50.360
because it really matters as a brand, especially today. And as a consumer, it's something that should
576
00:58:50.360 --> 00:58:55.800
be, you know, a standard for us to look for. Can you tell us, is there anything exciting in the works
577

579
00:59:11.560 --> 00:59:19.000

581
00:59:25.000 --> 00:59:31.320
data, how we run these studies. We invite people to be beta testers when we are developing something
582
00:59:31.320 --> 00:59:37.160

583
00:59:37.160 --> 00:59:44.200
new things that are coming in terms of health and interventions and technologies. So yeah, this year
584
00:59:44.200 --> 00:59:50.440
there'll be a lot of things that we are bringing. And we've been researching it like for, yeah,
585
00:59:50.440 --> 00:59:55.960
over two years, a lot of this product. And the other piece that we continue to invest in in
586
00:59:56.040 --> 01:00:02.520
discovering new molecules like we know that science is evolving. And we want to be the company
587
01:00:02.520 --> 01:00:09.480
that you can trust that whenever there is something new, we'll be the first ones to translate it
588
01:00:09.480 --> 01:00:15.960
and bring it to consumers because we are not ecstatic in terms of, you know, we found this peptide
589
01:00:15.960 --> 01:00:23.000
it's amazing. But you know, science is evolving and we want to evolve as a brand. So we'll continue
590
01:00:23.000 --> 01:00:29.400
to upgrade our products to bring something new to the customer. So they may they can, you know,
591
01:00:29.400 --> 01:00:36.120
feel sure that we are on the forefront of like the innovation when it comes to addressing skin aging.
592
01:00:36.120 --> 01:00:42.200
So cool. I fully put you on the spot with that one. Thank you so much. I got really excited.
593
01:00:42.200 --> 01:00:46.840
I just love you guys as a brand. I think that's great. So, you know, for listeners, if you'd

595
01:00:54.520 --> 01:00:59.800
to give it a go. Unlike a lot of the other products that are out there, I'm just so obsessed
596
01:00:59.800 --> 01:01:05.160
at the fact that business designed to really work from the inside out that it penetrates the skin
597
01:01:05.160 --> 01:01:09.560
that you're working on, you know, boosting collagen production and really it's a product that
598
01:01:09.560 --> 01:01:15.880
works at a cellular level to help us age better. So thank you for that. I'm excited to stay connected
599
01:01:15.880 --> 01:01:21.240
with you and in closing, I'm going to take you through some rapid fire questions. Is that okay?
600
01:01:21.240 --> 01:01:27.960
Yeah, great. So I guess the person would be what are the most common mistakes or misconceptions
601
01:01:27.960 --> 01:01:33.080
that you're seeing people make? Let's say with their skin. Yeah, I think we talked about it. It's
602
01:01:33.080 --> 01:01:42.280
it's about overloading your skin with like too many active instead of going back to the essentials
603
01:01:42.280 --> 01:01:49.880
and and finding the fewer products that can work the best for you. And in in the same way, I would
604
01:01:49.880 --> 01:01:56.680
say that in the past we had this approach that was like a more near term results. And now we're
605
01:01:56.680 --> 01:02:02.440
thinking better about like what are the long term impact in your skin and how I can support
606
01:02:02.440 --> 01:02:08.280
my skin for the long term. So I think that's an important shift that we're seeing and we're
607
01:02:08.280 --> 01:02:13.720
happy to be contributing to that shift. I love it. Focus on the foundations. What would you say
608
01:02:13.720 --> 01:02:22.440
your favorite ancient healing remedies? I think we talked as well. So you know nature and
609
01:02:23.560 --> 01:02:29.640
grounding sunlight and and just gratitude in general. I think it's trying to have this
610
01:02:30.280 --> 01:02:38.120
positive optimistic way of seeing life as we go through the many challenges that we we face
611
01:02:38.120 --> 01:02:45.160
in our lives. It doesn't mean that life is easier. It's just that if you keep that you know positive
612
01:02:45.720 --> 01:02:52.520
mindset and we see this with aging like people that have this positive mindset about aging,
613
01:02:52.520 --> 01:03:02.120
they are more free of diseases. They age is lower. They look better. So it's so beautiful to see
614
01:03:02.200 --> 01:03:07.160
the impact of our mindset in our the way that we look but also in our health as well.
615
01:03:07.720 --> 01:03:12.760
So good. And for you I'm curious with this question. What's something about modern science that
616
01:03:12.760 --> 01:03:22.280
is really exciting you? I think to me it's really disability of diagnosing things in a very early
617
01:03:22.280 --> 01:03:30.040
stage. So going being able to assess our biological markers and having this ability to be more
618
01:03:30.040 --> 01:03:36.200
preventative. So in the past we had this you know like you do your labs and you think that's
619
01:03:36.200 --> 01:03:43.160
you're healthy but no there's so much underlying that now you can assess and you can predict or
620
01:03:43.160 --> 01:03:49.400
can catch things earlier. I also love this you know kind of full body kind of diagnostic options
621
01:03:49.400 --> 01:03:54.840
that we have right now that we can detect or you know cancer earlier. So I think all of this
622
01:03:54.920 --> 01:03:59.880
technologies some of them are still more expensive but some of them are really becoming more
623
01:03:59.880 --> 01:04:07.400
accessible. We'll just allow us to be more proactive and and catch things early on so we can
624
01:04:07.400 --> 01:04:17.080
stay healthier for longer. That's you know my go as a person as a founder and yeah and just like
625
01:04:17.640 --> 01:04:24.840
prevented it you know the diseases of aging and enjoy our life you know our age the best we can.
626
01:04:24.840 --> 01:04:30.040
And how perfectly aligned your values and how that's representative of what you've created.
627
01:04:30.600 --> 01:04:35.400
So the next time I see you you know I think I'm just so confident that the fact that
628
01:04:35.400 --> 01:04:41.640
you're not only helping me extend my skin's health but also my skin's longevity rather than
629
01:04:41.640 --> 01:04:46.760
just focusing on simple signs of aging. So for that I'm grateful and today was such a
630
01:04:46.760 --> 01:04:54.440
pleasure. I can't wait to meet you in person. I know this was such a delightful conversation
631
01:04:54.440 --> 01:05:00.760
Mona I think it's so beautiful when I'm trying to people with the same mission and alignment
632
01:05:00.760 --> 01:05:06.360
and thanks for the opportunity to share our science and our work with your community and
633
01:05:06.360 --> 01:05:11.640

634
01:05:11.640 --> 01:05:19.960
tube like a better house. We're on a mission thank you Carolyn and you too. Thank you.
