The Dylan Gemelli Podcast

Episode #160 Featuring Katie Stewart

What if your acne isn’t actually a SKIN PROBLEM?

Registered Holistic Nutritionist and Functional Diagnostic Nutrition Practitioner, Katie Stewart, reveals why chronic breakouts can be a sign of deeper issues involving your gut, hormones, liver, nervous system and nutrition and why simply treating the skin may never address what’s actually causing your acne.

Katie has spent the last decade helping more than 3,000 clients across 15+ countries address chronic adult acne through root-cause nutrition and functional lab testing. She is the founder of The Clear Skin Solution and co-host of the Keep It Clear Podcast.

 

In this episode, she explains:

◾ Why acne can be an external symptom of an internal health problem
◾ How birth control can affect your hormones, gut health, nutrients and acne
◾ Why gut dysfunction, constipation and low stomach acid may show up through your skin
◾ How chronic stress and a dysregulated nervous system can make acne harder to resolve
◾ The truth about Accutane, antibiotics and conventional acne treatments
◾ How protein, healthy fats, carbohydrates, caffeine and alcohol can affect your skin
◾ Which skincare products are actually worth spending money on
◾ Why fragrances and certain ingredients in personal care products may interfere with your
hormones

MOTS-C, or mitochondrial open reading frame of the 12S RNA-C, is not just another supplement—it's a powerful metabolic regulator that acts directly at the cellular level. Dylan breaks down how this peptide enhances insulin sensitivity, promotes fat oxidation, and boosts mitochondrial function, making it a game-changer for both endurance athletes and those focused on longevity.

MOTS-C offers a promising solution not only for enhancing athletic performance but also for maintaining vitality as we age. The stakes are high, and understanding how to leverage this peptide could mean the difference between thriving and merely surviving as we grow older.

 

This episode is essential listening for anyone interested in optimizing their health, athletes looking for that edge, or anyone curious about the future of anti-aging science.

In this episode, AS PROMISED, I continue my series with Kiran Krishnan as we delve into the intricate world of gut health, focusing on probiotics, prebiotics, and postbiotics. This is THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO EVERYTHING about Probiotics!  Kiran covers all the bases in this interview discussing the importance of timing and formulation in supplementation, defining the roles of these components, and emphasizing the significance of choosing the right probiotic for gut health. The conversation also touches on the common issue of leaky gut and how probiotics can aid in its recovery. Kiran also provides insights on how to navigate probiotic labels and what to look for when selecting products. The discussion also highlights the significance of specific probiotic strains and the role of digestive aids like bitters in enhancing digestive health.  We also have a nice back and forth on some of the bad practices with weakness of product, and why we were told that probiotics needed refrigeration.  There is a LOT of exposing bad practice and why so many different products are either misleading and/or poorly formulated.  This episode was intended to cover ALL the bases when it comes to supplementation for GUT HEALTH.  There is NO BETTER expert than my dear friend Kiran Krishnan to provide the most trusted insight in the world!  STAY TUNED FOR PART 3 COMING SOON!  

 

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS:

A probiotic is a live microorganism that confers health benefits.

Prebiotics serve as food for beneficial gut microbes.

Postbiotics are dead bacteria that still provide health benefits.

Timing of taking prebiotics, probiotics, and postbiotics can matter.

Diversity in prebiotics is beneficial for gut health.

Choosing the right probiotic can significantly impact gut health.

Leaky gut can be improved with the right probiotic in about 30 days.

Look for strain IDs on probiotic labels for effectiveness.

More CFUs do not necessarily mean a better probiotic.

Clinical studies on finished products are crucial for efficacy.

Refrigeration of probiotics is often a marketing strategy to protect brands.

Spore-forming probiotics can survive harsh conditions and are more effective.

The gut-brain axis plays a crucial role in mental health.

Modern diets lacking in fiber contribute to chronic health issues.

Bacillus indicus HU36 is a unique strain that produces carotenoids.

Digestive bitters activate essential digestive processes.

The absence of fiber in diets leads to microbiome dysfunction.

Probiotics need to be specific to be effective.

Immunoglobulins can help reduce the toxic load on the microbiome.

Episode #156:  Featuring Dr. Stefanie Kleine!  From Human Doing to Human Being: A New Approach to Wellness 

 

In this conversation, I speak with Dr. Stefanie Kleine, a psychologist and psycho-spiritual coach, about the importance of shifting from a mindset of 'doing' to 'being' in order to achieve true transformation and fulfillment. They discuss the common patterns of burnout among high performers, the role of the nervous system in health, and the impact of emotional wounds on performance. Dr. Kleine also shares insights on how psychedelics can aid in healing and personal growth as well as the transformative power of shifting from a 'do-have-be' mindset to a 'be-do-have' approach. She emphasizes the importance of integration in psychedelic work, the need for safety and proper screening, and the distinction between coping and true healing. Dr. Kleine also shares her experiences with psychedelics, the role of conventional medicine, and the significance of connecting to one's true self. The discussion highlights the importance of understanding the healing process and the resources available for those seeking transformation.

 

This conversation is highly impactful and highlights many different instances that most of us struggle with but have become either too frightened to address or have hidden traumas that need to be released.  Dr. Kleine's ability to connect with everyone and provide warmth, comfort and insight into how to heal is second to none!
