3 EASY Skincare Swaps That Lower Toxins FAST (in 3 days!)

25:16Is that something you've noticed and why you started using it? Absolutely. Nothing hydrates and nourishes the skin like tallow does. And I was so excited about this ingredient when I started researching it. I became familiar with it because of my family's farm. And I thought it was so cool. It's an ingredient that's been used ancestrally for generations. It's really stood the test of time, but I just didn't know if it would catch on. And so I considered not using it in the beginning because this was back in 20, a little bit before 2015. Vegan skincare was all the rage at the time. I was really an outlier using tallow in our products and I never could have predicted that it would be the trending ingredient that it is today for better or for worse.

25:58There's all kinds of opinions out there on tallow. I obviously love it and I can talk more about why, but it's really an incredible ingredient. And we didn't invent tallow. We just remembered it. And our customers, like we get emails and testimonials all the time from people who say your tallow products are the only thing that has helped my child's eczema, or they're the only thing that have cleared up this mysterious rash. So tallow has so many benefits. It, it actually means sebum in Latin because it's so biocompatible with our skin's own sebum. It has a really impressive fatty acid profile.

26:35It's rich in palmitic acid, oleic acid, conjugated linoleic acid, which is anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial. So there's a lot of benefits to tallow. Nothing is quite like it out there. Well, just common sense tells us, okay, plants have these plant-based oils and they're obviously, you know, keep the plant hydrated and protected in certain ways, but that's not going to be identical or the same to the exact oils on human skin. Versus you look at a ruminant animal, a mammal like beef, they're naturally going to have very similar oils to our own skin. And so it's going to be more biocompatible to humans.

27:20And so it makes a lot of sense. I have found that, I want to say I started recommending tallow in my practice, this was, I mean, this was probably back in 20, I don't know, 2009 or 10. I mean, a long time ago, because I had to have some patients that would come in with issues like cracked heels and I would have them do like a mixture of beef tallow with beeswax and things because it would hydrate much better than anything else. And I also found that when women were going through issues like menopause or getting, if they, during that season, when their skin would get even more dry and their body would dry out, the tallow worked more effectively.

27:54And I loved combining tallow with essential oils and other things to really bring even more healing to the skin, whether it be lavender or chamomile or things like calendula. I mean, a lot of benefits there. What are some of the favorite? Talk a little bit more about tallow, but then I'd love to hear some of the other things you like to pair it with and how you've seen it benefit your own skin and the skin of others. Yeah, I'll answer both of those questions. So one common criticism of tallow is that it clogs pores. And if we think about the comedogenic scale, it tests ingredients in isolation.

28:27So tallow is tested as a single ingredient. Coconut oil maybe is tested as a single ingredient. But the comedogenic scale doesn't look at the whole formulation and how the skin absorbs and utilizes the entire formulation. And so I think a lot of people, when they think of tallow, they think it's this pore clogging ingredient. But when it comes to how we formulate with tallow, we are blending it with carrier oils that are low on the comedogenic scale. So it's not just tallow and you can use just tallow. I wouldn't necessarily recommend using pure tallow maybe on your face. I would recommend combining that with other carrier oils and essential oils.

29:02And you also mentioned calendula, which reminds me of one of our products called Baby Bomb. And this is one of my favorite products that we have. It has tallow. it has extra virgin olive oil. I think there's some jojoba oil in there. And we infuse those oils with calendula and with marshmallow root. We do a low heat infusion. It takes a while. It's really, you know, a time consuming process for my team to do this, but it, the finished product, there's nothing like our baby bomb. It's amazing. It's absolutely incredible. And I use it not only on my children. I use it on myself every single day.

29:39There's nothing that I've ever used that's more nourishing. Our customers are obsessed with it. And I actually have a story. One time, my son, when he was, I think, nine months old or so, he scratched me on my face and it was pretty deep. And I don't know if he had like poop under his fingernail or what, but the thing wouldn't heal. Like I thought it was infected. My brother-in-law, who's a PA, thought it was infected. I was using ozonated olive oil on it. I was using apple cider vinegar, all kinds of things because it just wouldn't go away. And eventually my brother-in-law prescribed me antibiotics.

30:14I took antibiotics for the first time in like 15 years because he thought it was infected. It seemed to be very infected. The antibiotics didn't help. And so I reached out to Dr. Cameron Chestnut, who is a very wellness-minded plastic surgeon who we've collaborated with on different pieces of content before. And he was like, just stop doing everything and use BabyBomb. And so I did. and within a matter of days, it was completely gone. Wow, that's amazing. Yeah. You know, one of the things that I used tallow when, well, not in phase one, but in phase two, I had ankle surgery. And so this was back quite a few years.

30:54It was a real minor ankle surgery. This is something I did in high school. And then at the time when they had to go and do the surgery, they were like having to put in rods in people's. And so now they were so good at doing just really microscopic stuff. So I got it done. But to help the scar heal, I did at first, it was like Manuka honey with calendula and lavender and helichrysum and those sort of things. And then as soon as it sealed up, I went really heavy on basically, I did tallow and Manuka and kept essential oils on there. And you can't even really see a scar. I mean, it's unbelievable in terms of just, but most people, when they have some sort of scar, one issue, they don't keep it moist long enough.

31:35It's like, oh, after it heals up a little bit, then I just don't put anything on it. But you really, sometimes for even three months, you want to really heavily keep a lot of moisture there. Yeah, I'm doing that with my son right now. He got a cut on his forehead. And every day, multiple times a day, I'm applying that baby balm to keep it moist and to help promote healing. Yeah. Another thing that I think a lot of people don't think about when they're using tallow or any oil, any carrier oil or butter, not like actual butter, but shea butter or something like that on the skin, is you want to use it on damp skin.

32:12So applying any kind of product like that after getting out of the bath or the shower when your skin is still a little bit damp, that water is going to help the oil absorb deeper and better into the skin rather than kind of sitting on the surface of the skin. Oh, wow. And same with the face. So anytime I'm using any of our serums or creams on my face, I'm trying to apply it to damp skin or we have mists that I'll, you know, mist my face a little bit and then apply the product and then maybe even do a few pumps of mist after. And that's just going to help it to absorb a lot better. Yeah. So your opinion on, because what I've, you know, on tallow on the face, because I respond really well on the body.

32:51I think any oil of any type, literally any oil, I don't feel like my skin has responded well to. So I tend to do things that are more aloe, like base there for my skin. And then again, I use tallow all over my body everywhere else. What's your experience been there and working with people? Yeah. I mean, I think that everyone's going to react differently to every ingredient. So there's no like one size fits all for any of this. Some people can get, you know, some people's pores can become clogged when they're using pure tallow on their face or even a formulation that has tallow with other carrier oils.

33:24It can happen. But I do think it's a great ingredient for most people to use on their face. I think most people react really well to it. And like I said before, there's just nothing that moisturizes and nourishes the skin in the same way. So it's really good for just creating a youthful appearance and really good for promoting healthy skin, especially as we age. Yeah, I do agree. I don't think anything moisturizes our skin better. If you truly have dry skin in an area, nothing moisturizes better than towel. I use it on my face every day. Okay, wow. Yeah. Yeah. And I have acne-prone skin. Yeah, amazing.

34:04Josh Axe:The average person applies over 100 endocrine-disrupting chemicals before breakfast just from everyday personal care products. That's why I want to spotlight a business that's taking a totally different approach, Primely Pure. It's one of the first brands that treats the skin like the microbiome it is. Instead of formulas loaded with synthetics, Primely Pure goes back to what humans used to do for centuries, real recognizable ingredients from plants and animals, including grass-fed tallow. Tallow is incredibly skin-compatible. Its fatty acid profile mirrors your skin's natural barrier, helping restore balance, support the microbiome, and deliver deep nourishment without any endocrine-disrupting chemicals.

34:51Josh Axe:Their less is more approach has earned a massive following, especially their deodorant and tallow-based creams and balms, which actually work with your body, not against it. If you're ready for skincare that supports your health instead of adding to your toxic load, you need Primely Pure. Your skin and your whole system will feel the difference. Use code AX15 to get 15 % off your purchase at primelypure.com because when your skin thrives, so does your health. You know, one of the things I found is that oftentimes women will start getting these symptoms, hypothyroidism, low energy, skin breaking out.

35:31I mean, a number of problems. And oftentimes they don't know what to associate it with, right? Because there could be so many things. And oftentimes I do think diet plays a big role. I know stress plays a big role. But I do know sometimes that even skincare and toxicity can play a role. What are some of the most common symptoms that you see in women that are using the wrong skincare or toxic skincare? Yeah, I think one that very few people correlate to their skincare routines is their weight. And there's a few different reasons this can happen. So one is hormonally. When our hormones are thrown off, that can make it really difficult to maintain a healthy weight.

36:11And then two is our fat actually stores toxins. And so it does this because God designed us in such a smart way to where our fat knows that it needs to keep these toxins in the fat to protect our vital organs from these toxins. And so our fat stores these toxins. And the more toxic exposures we have, the more the body will want to actually create new fat cells to house these toxins. And so it does it as a protective mechanism, but it can make it really tough to lose that weight. and to also, you know, it can make it really easy to put on more weight. And that's one that a lot of people don't think about.

36:51And then there are so many symptoms that we have just come to accept as totally normal when really they're not normal. They're just common. And we've talked about a lot of them. It's the skin issues. It's the acne, the premature aging or the inflammation, as I like to say. The more toxins that our body is burdened by, that is going to accelerate the way we age and therefore how our skin ages more rapidly. There's painful irregular cycles, infertility. I think toxins are so closely tied to that. And those toxins, maybe give us your top five. What are five of those toxins that women specifically need to look out for?

37:32Yeah, I think the one that I'm so focused on right now is these chemical filters in conventional sunscreen. So these are things like oxybenzone, avobenzone, octocrylene. There's 19 of them that are on the market in the United States. A lot of them are banned in Europe, but there's 19 that we allow in the U.S. And the FDA actually just came out with a statement, I think a few years ago, saying we can no longer deem these as safe. We no longer consider them to be grass or generally recognized as safe. They still let them be, they're still allowing them on the market. But they came out with a statement saying we no longer know whether or not they're safe.

38:12And the only ones that we are still calling safe are the physical barriers, zinc oxide and titanium dioxide. and JAMA, Journal of American Medical Association, came out with a study where they found that after one day of applying certain chemical sunscreen filters, they were present in the bloodstream at over 400 times what's considered to be the safe limit. So these chemical sunscreen filters are so problematic and they work by undergoing a chemical reaction in the skin. So when the sun hits your skin, if you've applied a chemical sunscreen to it, your skin is going to undergo a chemical reaction, and the byproducts of that chemical reaction are often carcinogenic.

38:57So in the case of octocrylene, that chemical sunscreen filter ingredient produces a byproduct called benzophenone, which is a well-known carcinogen. And then don't even get me started on spray sunscreens. I mean, no one should be using spray sunscreens. Not only do they have these chemical filter ingredients, but they also all have benzene for the propellant. And so all forms of benzene are carcinogenic. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, and it's just so offensive. I mean, you can smell them within a 25-foot radius. And we have to also think about not only are they being applied all over the skin and oftentimes of young children, but they're inhaling that also.

39:42And so there's so many reasons to avoid those sprays. There are so many chemicals. I mean, there's also parabens, there's phthalates, there's sodium lauryl sulfate, that's more toothpaste. But there are a lot of chemicals out there, aluminum. I mean, there's a lot that are found in skincare, deodorant, all of these things you've talked about. Yeah. And then petroleum-based ingredients are really prevalent. Interestingly enough, also, Europe requires proof of purity for every petroleum-based ingredient because the contaminants in these products can be really concerning. They're carcinogenic, allergenic, hormone disrupting.

40:18And so Europe requires third-party independent testing to prove purity of these petroleum-based ingredients. The U.S. does not require that. And these will show up on the label as things like paraffin or PEG compounds or petrolatum, which is the main ingredient in like Vaseline or Aquaphor. And oftentimes the products that have these ingredients in them are the ones being marketed to babies and children. They're cheap. They're easy for companies to use. They're used as thickeners, stabilizers, but they're really problematic. And then aluminum is one that probably a lot of your audience has heard of.

40:57Aluminum is commonly found in conventional antiperspirant. And funny enough, antiperspirant was not a thing until the early 1900s when suddenly companies must have figured out that they could put aluminum in there and stop the sweating process. It essentially blocks our pores and stops us from sweating. And so they created this whole marketing campaign to make sweating kind of out a thing of the past to eliminate sweating. But of course, like we can't outsmart God. We're never going to be smarter than the physiology, the design of our body. Sweating is so important. It's not a process that we want to block or get in the way of.

41:34If you just think about it, you're blocking your sweating. I mean, what if your largest area forms of detoxification of your entire body, you're blocking it? Like, how did they convince us that this was a good idea? Yeah. I don't know. So sweating is good. We don't want to get in the way of that. But odor, odor is not the greatest. Like, we can do something to control odor in a healthy way. And we have a deodorant that's formulated with baking soda, and it has tallow, and it has coconut oil, and essential oils. things that help to control odor, but not necessarily stop sweat. But a lot of people do find that when they start using our deodorant, if they've transitioned to our deodorant from a conventional anti-perspirant, they're going to sweat a lot less than they did before.

42:19Not when they were wearing the deodorant, but if they would skip a day and they'd find that they're sweating like crazy and smelling super bad. Once you transition to natural deodorant, your body kind of normalizes and you're not nearly as sweaty or as stinky as you were before. But there's kind of that purging process that has to take place. But you don't even need to buy our deodorant. You can mix coconut oil and baking soda in your kitchen. And I would rather have people do that than continue to use antiperspirant from drugstores. Yeah. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, the thing for me is I don't want people to sweat less.

42:52I want them to sweat more. This is why I'm constantly talking about things like infrared sauna here on the show and exercise because sweating is good. There's more circulation. You do want to sweat some. Now, again, if you have a deodorant that has something that's good at absorbing moisture, like a baking soda and that sort of thing, that's great. That's fantastic. And of course, you and I both know too, I mean, so much of this is internal. Over-consuming carbohydrates, that makes you smell. Excess fat sometimes can contribute there as well. So keeping a diet that's high in protein, high in fiber, lots of fruits and vegetables.

43:25That's really going to help you with body odor. That's really going to help you detoxify at the highest level possible. And that's what I recommend there. So when it comes to taking care of our skin, obviously, we want to do that directly. But one of the things I have learned in my career very early on in functional medicine is sometimes the area where you have the problem isn't the real problem. That's not where it's starting. That's just where it's showing up. That's the symptom. And so oftentimes when people have skin issues, maybe there's liver issues, maybe there's gut issue. Those are two organs specifically.

43:58And then maybe it's adrenals. I mean, those are the ones I think really impact the skin the most. The reason I ask it is what are some other things that are at the root of skin issues that might be lifestyle related that you've seen as you've cared for your own skin and the skin of thousands of other people? Yeah. When I started Primally Pure, I knew that the skincare industry didn't need another moisturizer. It needed a total mindset shift. And that's really what I have sought to do. Not only are the products we use so important for our skin health and, of course, our overall health also, but it's everything we do every day.

44:33It's what we eat. It's our lifestyles. There are so many things that go into skin health because we can't separate the skin from the rest of our body. It's an organ. Like we can't just use, you know, great skincare products and then eat junk food. and expect our skin to be healthy. It doesn't work like that. And so everything that we do plays into the health of our skin. And I think the first most important step is removing toxins. My friends at Branch Basics, Kelly, Allison, and Marilee talk about this so well, the power of removal. When we just let the body heal, when we get out of the body's way and just let it do what it's supposed to do, our bodies are amazing at healing and repairing and rejuvenating.

45:15And so as much as we can remove toxins from our lives in the form of what we're putting on our skin, the cleaning products that we're using, the air that we're breathing in our home. I love the Jasper air purifier. It's a really good one. So removing toxins as much as possible is, I believe, the first step. And then there's food, eating whole foods, shopping the perimeter of the grocery store, reading the Biblio diet, eating that way, I think is going to solve so many issues. if we think about health and skin health in terms of just cellular health and treating ourselves well I think we should all adopt that mindset rather than focusing so much on specific symptoms whether that's in the skin or in the stomach or whatever if we're doing things and eating foods that are going to support the body as a whole the whole body is going to to thrive and get better and I think that's a lot of the problem with western medicine we've kind of isolated different parts of the body.

46:14And I think the skincare industry has done that with the skin. It's isolated the skin and taught us that the way we care for our skins is with the products that we use and that's it. And it couldn't be further from the truth. Yeah. Yeah. When I think about the biggest things that make difference on your skin, I think skincare obviously directly on there is important. I think diet is very important. I also think sleep and stress are very important because if you don't, and listen, anybody that doesn't sleep well at night, you can look at their face and think, that person didn't sleep well. And you're looking at their face.

46:45I mean, that's where you're being able to tell they didn't sleep well. If somebody is very stressed. That's the quickest thing I notice. If I, yeah, on a night of bad sleep, I get up in the mirror and I'm like, what happened to me? Yeah. Yeah. So sleep is a big one. And then stress is the other one. We know this, these hormones, cortisol and melatonin impact every other hormone in the body and either slow aging or cause us to age more quickly, which of course impacts the skin. So these things are a really big deal. And so when you're thinking about, and I always encourage this, if somebody is trying to improve something, making it an entire protocol.

47:20Like my general philosophy has always been, if I have a patient come in with diabetes, for instance, I will not only say, hey, here's this supplement berberine. But, hey, what are the other herbs? Oh, there's gymnosa, there's fenugreek, there's mulberry leaf, there's chromium, there's magnesium, there's vitamin D, and put together a whole supplement protocol. Also, entire diet protocol. What are the perfect things somebody could eat? High protein, high fiber, those really essential fatty acids, certain things like pomegranate, because what it does to the mitochondria, create the ideal diet plan.

47:59And let's also do everything else right. Let's get walking. Let's get exercising.

48:03Josh Axe:Let's even look at childhood trauma. Let's create a whole protocol. I think the same thing's important for skin health. If somebody's saying to themselves, I want to look as young as possible, take care of all those things. Take care of the stress. Take care of the sleep. Look at your diet. A lot of antioxidant-rich foods, a lot of omega-3s, a lot of fiber, a lot of protein, those sort of things, collagen. And then let's look at skincare. Let's really make over what you're doing on a regular basis. And that's going to help you look and feel younger. That's really going to maximize the longevity process.

48:37Absolutely. And I think another habit that's often overlooked is sun exposure. And I'm not talking about baking in the sun for hours and burning. I'm talking about developing a healthy relationship with the sun, like our ancestors had and like we've totally forgotten. I think regulating our circadian rhythms is so important. Our circadian rhythms are so closely tied to our hormones. And so if we can live more in tune with the sun and wake up with the sun, get outside, expose ourselves to morning sunlight, you know, our bedtime routine starts the minute we wake up. Because when we expose ourselves to sunlight in the morning, it's going to stimulate those hormones that help us wake up.

49:18And then by the time we're ready to go to bed at night, if we are blocking blue light, you know, in our homes and wearing blue light blocking glasses if we need to, then our sleep hormones are going to cue when they're supposed to, like melatonin, and we'll sleep more deeply. And like you mentioned, beauty sleep is so important for our skin.

49:40Josh Axe:It's actually called beauty sleep. Yeah, it's called that for a reason. And so our sleep is so tied to the rhythms of the sun. And then getting midday sun, I would argue, is important too. And of course, we have to do it responsibly and we have to kind of know what our threshold is for our skin type. But we need that for vitamin D synthesis. It helps with mood. There was actually a study done out of Sweden where they took a group of almost 30 ,000 women and they studied them for 20 years. And at the end of the study, they found that the group that avoided the sun completely versus the group that didn't had the same cardiovascular mortality as pack-a-day smokers.

50:20And that just goes to show how important sunlight is for immune health in general. Yeah, that's incredible. Yeah. So there are studies that show that if people make a change to their skincare routine, the chemicals in their bloodstream and their system can drop by nearly 50 % in just three days. So we know that sometimes people making just a small change, you can see great results in a short period of time. If somebody is saying, I want to make a change in my skincare routine, what are the three biggest changes or products or things they can do in their skincare routine that will make the biggest difference?

50:55Yeah, I love that study. I think it was done on 100 adolescent girls, and it's just proof that God designed our bodies so well to heal and thrive when we just get the toxins out of the way. Yeah. So top three products. I have to say deodorant. We've gone over it, but it is such an important one, and it's such a simple one. And one thing I didn't mention earlier is not only does it have the aluminum, but it also has parabens. And parabens are hormone-disrupting chemicals that rapidly absorb into the skin. They accumulate in breast tissue. One study found parabens in 98 % of breast cancer tumors that were sampled.

51:32Wow. And we know it's hormone-disrupting. And so breast cancer being a cancer that is hormonally driven for the most part, this is such an important swap for people to make. Sunscreen, I also think, is such a big one. We actually did, we launched a sunscreen over the summer and we did a campaign and we put billboards up that said the sun isn't poison, but your sunscreen is. And people were calling us anti-sunscreen, which was weird because we're literally launching a sunscreen. and our goal was to spark conversation about what does healthy sun exposure look like? How do we interact with the sun wisely?

52:12And what is a good SPF option to reach for for those times when we are in the sun for extended periods of time? And chemical sunscreens aren't it. Yeah, agreed. I would also say any product that is covering the bulk of the surface area on your body. Moisturizer for sure, right? So lotions, body washes, just because of the sheer surface area that those are going on. And then with body wash in particular, a lot of body washes contain these harsh surfactants that are really disrupting the natural moisture barrier of the skin. And I think a lot of times we think of skin as an aesthetic thing, which it can be, but it's also functional.

52:54Our skin serves a purpose. It regulates our body temperature. It protects us from outside pathogens and toxins. And when we're messing with that barrier, it just opens the door for skin issues like eczema, psoriasis, mysterious rashes, things like that. So we can protect our bodies by using natural moisturizers for our entire bodies and natural gentle body washes. I love it. All right. Rapid fire. What I'm going to have you do is rank on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being you love this. This is great. Some of the most popular skincare routines today. Okay. Facial cupping. 10. I'm obsessed with facial cupping.

53:35Amazing. It feels so good. I am actually a huge fan of cupping myself. Now, I've never done facial cupping. I've done cupping almost everywhere else. Oh, you've got to try it. I'm going from here this afternoon. I'm seeing an amazing acupuncturist. I get cupping like once a week. Nice. But I love it too. Okay. If I didn't give you some in your bag, I'll have to send you some because you've got to try it. Once you start doing it, you'll be addicted to it. My wife has done it. I've seen, she might even have, but we'd take another set. It brings so much circulation to the surface of your skin, breaks up stagnation, which Gua Sha does also.

54:05But I just love, personally, I love the feel of facial cupping. Quick story. I got turned on to acupuncture because I had this shoulder issue that hurt me for like two years. And anytime I would reach, I would have something catch. And I had done massage therapy. A number of things was not getting better. I went to this acupuncturist for something else. He's like, and he cupped the area too. And I literally had no shoulder pain. Since then, it's been 10 years. No, it's been 13 years. Wow. Zero shoulder problems. Amazing. So anyways, cupping. It's powerful. Cupping's amazing. Infrared and red light facial masks.

54:37I would say like a nine. Okay. Yeah, I love red light.

54:42Josh Axe:Lymphatic drainage. Doing it yourself, maybe a five. Having it done professionally in like a facial massage type setting where you're sitting for an hour and someone's doing lymphatic massage, drainage massage, 10. Sunscreen. That's so hard because it depends. But natural sunscreen with a physical barrier like zinc oxide, I would say, is a 9. It's not the end-all be-all of skincare like most dermatologists want us to think. Yeah, that's great. Ice rolling. I think ice rolling is great in the morning. It's a great way to wake the skin up. I would say a seven. Okay. You want to make sure to do it carefully and not like go on one area for too long.

55:30And if you are using real ice, you're going to want to have a barrier in between the ice and your skin of some sort, you know, a paper towel or something like that. Microneedling. Without a growth factor involved, like PRP or exosomes, maybe a five or a four even with a growth factor, nine. Yeah. Yeah. Brownies. I don't know if I can speak to this one because I've actually never tried anything like that. But the people that I know that are doing it are obsessed with it and they love it. I know. My wife likes them. I know several other people who use them and swear by them. And then I've had some people say, well, it didn't make a difference for me.

56:10So I think it just depends. It's probably one of those. Maybe like the more often you use it, the more of a difference it'll make. Yeah. I'm not against them at all. I think they can be beneficial for people. Maybe I'm just going to give it a six because I don't have personal experience. Yeah. Drinking bone broth. Oh, 10. I mean, it's so good for the gut. Like anything that we do that's good for the gut is going to be amazing for the skin also. 10. I love it. Well, this is a great conversation, Bethany. Thanks so much for coming on today. And I just want to say thanks, everybody, for listening in to this episode.

56:44I'm a big believer in taking care of every organ in your body, but especially your skin. And so I wanted to bring on Bethany just to share about using tallow and essential oils and these natural ingredients, because there's so many things we're using on a regular basis. Everything that she talked about from deodorant to sunscreen, to moisturizers, to body wash that are adding these chemicals to our body for women, raising estrogen for men. That's going to lower your testosterone for women. It increases your risk of breast cancer and eczema and infertility and all these issues. These are such important topics.
