In this powerful and insightful conversation, I get to sit down with Elle Black, the founder of Same Skincare, to explore how hormone health, skin, and self-care intersect especially for women navigating endometriosis, perimenopause, and beyond. Elle shares her deeply personal journey with stage 4 endometriosis, the motivation behind creating endocrine disruptor-free skincare, and how Same Skincare’s innovative app helps women track hormonal changes using skin as a biomarker.

We dive into practical strategies for addressing hormonal acne, the truth behind “cortisol face,” the role of gua sha and facial massage, and how women can make informed decisions about biohacking, fasting, and EDC exposure. With vulnerability and wisdom, Elle and I also reflect on fertility, gratitude, and feeling more confident in your skin.

Key Topics Covered:

The Birth of Same Skincare
Elle’s diagnosis with stage 4 endometriosis inspired her to create clean, EDC-free products that support hormonal health and fund endometriosis research.

Hormones & Skin: The Connection
How hormonal fluctuations impact skin health, from sebum production to breakouts and how the Same Skincare app personalizes skincare based on cycle tracking.

Understanding “Cortisol Face” & Inflammation
The science behind puffiness, the importance of not fearing cortisol

Skincare as a Wellness Practice
Why beauty routines should support overall well-being not just aesthetics

The Gut-Skin-Hormone Triad
Exploring the gut microbiome's impact on hormonal acne and why gentle, barrier-supporting products matter.

Biohacking for Women
Why popular bio hacks like intermittent fasting and cold plunges need to be approached differently for women and how Elle and I customize these for their bodies.

Let’s get real so many women I talk to feel like their body is working against them as they get older. You might feel like your metabolism just stopped working, or that you're gaining weight even though you’re not eating more.

Here’s what most people don’t realize:
If you stay sedentary, you will lose 5 pounds of muscle and gain 15 pounds of fat every decade (Mozaffarian et al., 2011). And over the years, that adds up fast.

In this episode, I break down the science of what actually happens to your body if you don't protect your muscle and why it’s not just age that's making things harder.

We’re talking about:

• The metabolic shift no one warns you about
• What “fat-free mass” really is and why you need to protect it
• How building and maintaining muscle helps with fat loss, energy, insulin resistance, and longevity
• My exact training and nutrition strategy to build muscle as a busy mom
• And most importantly how you can stop the decline and feel stronger in your 30s, 40s, and 50s than you ever did in your 20s.

This is one of those episodes that will make you look at your habits completely differently.
