I sat down with Natalie Novak, co-founder of Kindness Powered Skincare and certified oncology esthetician, who spent years battling debilitating symptoms — constant anxiety, RA-like joint pain, vision problems — while doctors told her nothing was wrong. The culprit turned out to be her breast implants, which were full of mold.

After having them removed in 2018, her RA symptoms vanished almost immediately. Her eyesight returned the next day.

But Natalie's story doesn't stop there. Long before her own health crisis, she'd already been on a mission to clean up the beauty industry — sparked by watching a skincare product literally eat through carpet and padding at a Nordstrom stockroom.

In this episode, we talk about why what you put ON your body matters just as much as what you put IN it, how the FDA hasn't updated the Cosmetics Act since 1938, and why "it's sold in a store" doesn't mean it's safe.

Natalie also walks us through a simple 3-step skincare ritual — cleansing oil, probiotic toner, and the right face cream — designed specifically to support women dealing with autoimmunity, hormonal shifts, and sensitive, compromised skin.
