What we put on our skin—the largest organ in our body—gets absorbed and travels through the bloodstream. It’s a simple fact, yet so many of us don’t think twice about how the ingredients in our favorite skin care products, such as shampoo, sunscreen, lotion, and insect repellent, affect our health. Even small amounts of toxic ingredients in skin products can add up and contribute to endocrine disorders, heart disease, cancer, and a range of other illnesses.
In this episode, Dr. Hyman talks to Dr. Cindy Geyer about why it’s important to take a good look at what we put on our skin. They discuss the dangers of ingredients such as parabens and phthalates, which can disrupt hormones, as well as how Dr. Hyman detoxes his body, where to find out how safe your favorite products are, and much more.
Dr. Cindy Geyer received her Bachelor of Science and her Doctor of Medicine degrees, with honors, from the Ohio State University. She completed residency in internal medicine at Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester, N.Y. and is triple board certified in internal medicine, integrative medicine, and lifestyle medicine. She joined The Ultrawellness Center in 2021 after practicing and serving as the medical director at Canyon Ranch for 23 years. She has served on the Board of Directors for the American College of Lifestyle Medicine and is a recently elected fellow of ACLM. Dr. Geyer has been a core faculty member at The Center for Mind-Body Medicine (CMBM) for 20 years, teaching physicians and other healthcare professionals how to use food and lifestyle to address health concerns in their own lives and those of their patients. A clinician, educator, and avid hiker, she is passionate about collaborative approaches to health and wellness: from the integrative team model in working with individual patients, to community partnerships that together can affect healthy changes in the places people live and work.

I have a concern about Nano particles … nanofication. I’m seeing it in some skincare & makeup like SPF tints/foundation
Young living.
This is also a concern for me, however if you look on Pubmed, nanoparticles have different uses, like making a product better absorbed and used by the body. That ‘benefit’ goes both ways however.
I really love this show, but why isn’t there a dermatologist on the panel to round out the perspective?
I use organic coconut oil. I add frankincense and floral essential oils. It’s an amazing skin softener. I also limit the amount of time I spend in the sun. Obviously you need sun to get your Vitamin D. I’ve heard that coconut oil is a natural sunscreen. I haven’t gotten a bad sunburn in years.
What a treat these conversations are. I appreciate you sharing this helpful information.
Not listening without timestamps
But are you getting enough copper and selenium. Your hair color tells me that you’re not!
@Scott Fredricey let’s see you nearly turning 60 with no white hair

The tap water is full of killers
Thanks again.
Mark is such a great host and doctor.
Hormonal imbalances are not all attributed to food or pre-diabetes. You can eat a clean diet and manage blood sugar but If metabolized testosterone goes down the alpha rather than beta pathway, women can suffer from unwanted hair growth, acne, infertility, PCOS, etc.
I would support other monetization methods in order to increase production quality, like timestamps as another commenter has noted. Because for whatever number that are paying for higher ticket items, there are a larger set of people who’d pay “a coffee” or “a meal” to support one of their favorite media publications. Dr. Rhonda Patrick has a recurring membership for example–with shirts!
I wish you guys could treat my kid who has vitiligo. We have a naturopath, but it is seriously too expensive.
