What if your skin issues—breakouts, dullness, inflammation—weren’t random, but deeply connected to your cycle?

In today’s episode, we are sharing a recent conversation we had on the Revital Health Podcast with Jodi Duval. We dive into something I feel incredibly passionate about: how each phase of the menstrual cycle affects our skin, and how aligning our skincare rituals with those hormonal shifts can create real, visible change.

We also talk about Anastasia’s (YG Co-founder) personal postpartum skin struggles, why traditional skincare advice often fails women, and the biohacking strategies I use to support skin from the inside out. We unpack the truth behind buzzy trends like salmon sperm facials and RF microneedling, and why they’re often more harmful than helpful.

If you’ve ever felt like your skincare routine stops working mid-month, this episode will explain why—and how to fix it.

Jodi Duval is a clinical naturopath and the founder of Revital Health Clinic, specializing in integrative and functional medicine.

What if your skin problems aren’t skin-deep at all, but rooted in your gut?

In this episode, we’re joined by gut health expert Joni Laiho to explore one of the most overlooked yet powerful connections in skin longevity: the gut-skin axis. If you’re dealing with adult acne, stubborn inflammation, accelerated aging, or skin that just doesn’t bounce back, this conversation is for you.

We break down how gut dysfunction silently drives skin issues, the early signs your gut is leaking into your face (literally), and the doctor-backed protocols that can rebuild your skin from the inside out. If you’ve tried every topical, peel, or red light mask with minimal results… this might be the missing piece.

Joni is the founder of a leading gut health company focused on healing chronic conditions from the inside out. He specializes in restoring the gut-skin connection through clinical protocols and evidence-based supplements.

Let’s get into it.

In this episode, we break down some of the most viral skincare trends you see all over Instagram and TikTok, face ice baths, jelly eye patches, salmon sperm facials, red light masks, Morpheus 8, niacinamide overload, and more.

But here’s the thing: just because a trend is everywhere doesn’t mean it works, or that it supports your skin long-term.

We don’t hype or bash blindly, we give you the science-backed truth so you can make smart, informed choices about what’s actually worth your time (and money). From understanding why face ice baths aren’t the same as full-body cold therapy to why most LED face masks don’t deliver enough power to create real change, we share the clinical insights behind the hype.

This episode is for anyone who wants to cut through the noise of skincare marketing and build a routine that actually supports skin health, longevity, and cellular repair.

➡️ Tune in for honest takes, myth-busting, and a few laughs along the way.
