Gut Instinct with Carla Oates, Founder of the Beauty Chef

#8. Have you ever wondered what it’s like to quit your job as Beauty Editor of a newspaper? Be the girl that makes everyone ask “how does she glow like that?!” Launch a company with 3,000 employees and a mission you refuse to give up on? Pave the way for ingestible beauty? Turn $3,000 into the “magic purple powder” that has amassed a cult following?

In season one, “The Inside-Out,” we focus on women spearheading the philosophy that beauty begins inside—from healing our heart, mind, and microbiome—& radiates outward. The pioneering of this philosophy? Carla Oates is the author of “Feeding Your Skin” & was named a “skincare innovator” by Net-a-Porter. Carla created The Beauty Chef in 2009 after healing her family’s skin issues and discovering that beautiful, radiant skin begins with a healthy gut. She began experimenting with lacto-fermenting skin-loving superfoods in her Bondi kitchen and that’s how “GLOW,” The Beauty Chef’s first inner beauty powder, was created.

In this episode, we discuss:

• The revolutionary discovery that caused her to leave her job as Beauty Editor
• How looking at the gut-brain axis could be the main contributor to mental health issues
• The difference between pre and postbiotics & the most important ingredient for a healthy glow
• How to hold people accountable in business
• The true sign of market validation for your product
• Why you are not subject to predisposed genetic disorders
• The main contributor to mental health issues… that you never would have suspected
