The Skin-Gut Connection: What a French Cosmetics Insider Wants You to Know | EP 411

What if everything you've been told about good skin is upside down?

My guest today, Camille Hermann, spent 15 years formulating products for L'Oréal, Clarins, and Eucerin — and then walked away from it all.

Why? Because she realized the industry she helped build was treating symptoms while ignoring the real cause. Camille is now a skin biologist who calls the skin "the dashboard of your biology" — a window into your gut, your hormones, and even your brain.

In this episode, we break down what your acne, eczema, and thinning hair are actually trying to tell you, why the French seem to eat everything and stay lean anyway, and why I've been putting olive oil in my mouth and on my face for years.

If you've ever felt like your skincare routine is fighting you instead of helping you, you're going to want to hear this one.
