Words from Nadine:
“Now that we’re studying the microbiome more, we’re seeing what is inhibiting it or mutating the microbes or causing damage. When we look at the microbiome on the face, it’s fascinating. We can see how acne starts, rosacea, which is related to a demodex mite, and then of course that's connected to the guts.”
“We want this bacterial banquet to thrive on our skin and we kinda wanna let the bacteria be our beautician. So when it gets out of balance, that’s when disorders arise from Melasma to acne to rosacea to even dry skin. It’s all connected.”
“If you are eating a very standard North American diet, and you’re eating a lot of canola and Coca Cola, your relationship to the sun will be a bit different. If you’re baking in chemicals as you’re sitting in the sun, the effect on your skin is not going to be the same.”
“The health of your mouth is key to the health of your body.”
”That moment I was like well I’m not having a baby yet, but right now I’m going to prepare my body. From 18 on, I never ate processed food, I only ate organic. And to me that was sort of the beginning of creating my child even thought that was about a decade later until it actually happened.”
