In this illuminating episode of the Self-Care Goddess Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Larry Weiss, MD—CEO and founder of Symbiome Skincare and a pioneer in microbiome science—to explore how our mighty microbiome shapes everything from our skin health to aging, immunity, and overall resilience.

Dr. Weiss takes us on a fascinating journey from the Amazon rainforest to the modern skincare lab, revealing how reconnecting with the microbial world can restore our health, balance, and beauty.

✨ Here’s what you’ll learn in this empowering conversation:

✅ What your microbiome really is—and why it’s essential to your health and longevity

✅ How modern lifestyles have depleted our natural resilience and disrupted the skin microbiome

✅ The link between gut health, skin health, and inflammation

✅ How fermented foods and probiotic skincare can help rebuild your inner and outer ecosystem

✅ Why your skin is a mirror of your overall wellbeing

✅ The truth about hand sanitizers, hygiene, and microbiome balance

✅ How Symbiome’s fermented skincare works with nature—not against it—to restore your skin’s natural vitality

✅ Dr. Weiss’s top 3 self-care rituals for daily health, joy, and connection

💫 “Your skin is the biomarker for your health that you see in the mirror every morning.” — Dr. Larry Weiss

This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to heal their skin naturally, slow the aging process, and rebuild resilience from the inside out—through food, mindfulness, and microbiome-friendly living.
