In this episode, I sat down with Dr. Barbara Paldus, a scientist and founder of Codex Labs, to explore the cutting-edge science of skincare. We discuss the role of gut health and microbiomes in conditions like eczema, the impact of genetic testing on personalized skincare, and the development of plant-based, clinically proven solutions for inflammation and skin barrier repair. With her background in biotechnology, Dr. Paldus shares how data-driven insights are revolutionizing dermatology and creating accessible, sustainable alternatives to traditional treatments.
