Could the secret to glowing skin be hiding in your kitchen? Forget expensive creams and complicated routines—the path to radiant skin might start with what's on your plate.

In this eye-opening episode, we explore five foods that can dramatically transform your complexion from the inside out. Starting with the humble potato (yes, potato!), we reveal how this starchy staple contains niacin and vitamin C that brightens skin and calms inflammation when applied topically. The benefits of fermented foods like sauerkraut demonstrate the powerful gut-skin connection, especially for those struggling with rosacea and persistent acne.

Jackie Monahan joins us for her third appearance, bringing her signature humor as we discuss how zinc-rich pumpkin seeds combat hormonal acne, seaweed delivers minerals essential for skin elasticity, and blackstrap molasses provides a concentrated dose of beauty-boosting minerals. Between scientific insights and personal testimonials (including Jackie's hilarious aversion to nori), we unpack how these everyday foods work from the inside out to give you results that expensive skincare products often can't deliver.

The conversation takes some delightfully unexpected turns—from nostalgic references to Sigmund and the Sea Monster to improvised songs about walking on tilapia—while delivering practical advice you can implement immediately. Whether you're dealing with dull skin, breakouts, or just want to support your skin's long-term health, this episode offers accessible, natural solutions that work with your body's own processes.

So what's up, girl?
Oh, I'm doing good, I was justin a movie that doesn't have a
title yet, and-.

Speaker 2 (05:48):
Suspenseful.
Yeah, it's very suspenseful.

Speaker 1 (05:50):
I filmed it in New York.
I can't talk about it, but I'mvery excited about it.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
That's awesome.

Speaker 1 (05:55):
But it's a small part .
It's a character part, but it'svery big.
I'm sure you brought a lot toit yeah it's really fun.
That's fun.
I like doing that, like theygive you one line but you make
it fucking cool.
Yeah, it's exciting what I did.
Oh, I'm excited.

Speaker 2 (06:08):
You'll have to tell us later.
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:11):
And I was on the East Coast for a month and a half
and I missed LA, I have to sayyeah, and it was kind of quiet
for going on.

Speaker 2 (06:22):
Did you find like when you were over there, you
were like oh, I actually do missbeing in LA.

Speaker 1 (06:25):
I do.

Speaker 2 (06:26):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (06:28):
Especially with New York Cause it's so much more
like I love.
I do love New York.
I have to say like I have apassion for New York city, like
I I.
There's a romance about it.
I love it and but I likeCalifornia better than New York
and I do love LA too.
I love LA too, but when I livedin New York, I have to say I

(06:53):
wasn't like as excited to comeback as I am to LA, because
you're bracing yourself forbeing hit all the time.
Oh, yeah, just people justbumping into you, just people
bumping into you.

Speaker 2 (07:01):
Very little personal space.

Speaker 1 (07:03):
Like yeah and just maybe yeah, not into you.
Very little personal spaceHitting you.
Like, yeah and just maybe yeah,not hitting you, but like on
the subway, you're getting hit,yeah you're.
Not physically hit but jostledall the time, Like you're just
jostled all the time yourpersonal space is invaded a lot
more.
Right.
So you're excited to go back toNew York, but it's not the same
.
I think we're also still doinga six feet between people in LA.
Right Since COVID and I thinkit still applies Right.

Speaker 2 (07:30):
It's interesting too, because here it's like you feel
like LA is so spread out so youhave to get everywhere.
New York, everything's rightthere, but everyone knows that,
so everyone else is also rightthere.
Oh right, so it's just kind ofthe trade-off you have for it.
I'd rather be.
I'd rather be in traffic in mycar than traffic with people
like this right, yeah, rightyeah um, can I ask you a
question?
Yeah, yeah, what is today'sshow about?

Yeah Well, these are like number one potatoes.
No way, right.

Speaker 2 (09:02):
For your skin Really.
Yes, I thought it was like thefirst thing you hear about
potatoes is too much starchRight and the carbs right.

Speaker 1 (09:08):
The carbs absolutely.
I didn't realize that yeah it'srich in niacin and vitamin C,
which is really good for you onthe inside.
Wow, and you can take a potatoand it brightens your skin.

Speaker 2 (09:25):
It on your skin and it's good for brightening your
skin and calming inflammation.
Talk about potato head exactly.
I got a headache, the potatoesgot you should put jackie on the
potato yeah yeah, have you doneit?

Speaker 1 (09:39):
have you put potato on you never?
Oh, okay, yeah, this is gonnatry.

Speaker 2 (09:43):

I was waiting for the rest ofthe song.
Oh yeah, I didn't practice.
We'll come back, I'll have itnext time.
Okay, good, so yeah, so it'sgood for inflammation.
And then the juice of potatoesare really their thing that

(10:09):
people use what about if you letpotatoes sit for a long time
and then that gross juice.
Is that good Wait?

Speaker 2 (10:16):
on your face.
Yeah, not the gross juice.

Speaker 1 (10:19):
Have you ever let a potato sit too long?

Speaker 2 (10:20):
and there's juice that comes out?
Oh no, Not that juice.

Speaker 1 (10:24):
What juice are you talking about?
That's a great question.
Maybe juicing the potato in ajuicer?
But yeah yours is worse.
Yeah, mine's disgusting.
When I came back it was there.
You had those when they startedcrawling out of your.

Speaker 2 (10:39):
Because then that's mushy potato head.
Yeah, nobody wants that.
You want that potato?
What about the skin?

Speaker 1 (10:48):
The skin is also good for you.
The research I did did notmention the skin.

Speaker 2 (10:50):
Okay, good, let's forget about the skin then.

Speaker 1 (10:52):
But I'm assuming it's mostly the white part.

Speaker 2 (10:55):
The white part.

Speaker 1 (10:55):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (11:05):
I mean, if you look at to eat it all day long, what
about?

Speaker 1 (11:08):
inserting it.
That's a great question.

Speaker 2 (11:10):
Jackie, I don't know, we'll have to try that Curly
fries, yeah, curly fries, oh myGod, okay.

Speaker 1 (11:18):
So yeah, they do get a bad rap, but apparently you
can brighten up your skin.

Speaker 2 (11:22):
I'm excited about this.
Yeah, I know I love potatoes.

Speaker 1 (11:24):
I want to hear about anybody's experience with this.

Speaker 2 (11:27):
Maybe if you try it.

Speaker 1 (11:30):
What about next time I'm here?
I'm this fat, I'm like, but myskin's great.
Thanks a lot, Okay.
So sauerkraut, oh yum I likesauerkraut.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
Let's not talk about Germans in a salty way, I'm
sorry.
They're fine people.

Speaker 1 (11:46):
Fermented foods, basically just in general, are
good because it's good for yourgut.
Wow, I love sauerkraut.
I do too.
I love it.
It's delicious.
I haven't had it in such a longtime, have you.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
No, it's been a while .
I think the last time I had ita Reuben sandwich.

Speaker 1 (12:01):
Oh man, that sounds good.
We're vegan now, unfortunately,what happened?
You guys, I know.

Speaker 2 (12:06):
Are you vegan too?
No, you went back to-.

Speaker 1 (12:08):
I don't drink, so I can eat all the meat I want.

Speaker 2 (12:10):
There you go.
That's how it works, that's thebest.
Oh man, yeah, we just kind offigured, you know, just to kind
I feel a little better, you know, now, but I'm slowly easing
eggs back into my body.

Speaker 1 (12:22):
Yeah, oh, okay, is that what you were doing in the
bathroom the other day?
Yeah, I was putting eggs back.
I was like, oh, I'm reversehatching.

Speaker 2 (12:29):
I don't know what that means, but yeah, you know,
I'm not opposed to it.
I'm not, you know.

Speaker 1 (12:33):
but my sister just sent me.
She keeps telling me thatthere's things vegans probably
need that we're not getting, soI'll actually read her text
later and I'll maybe I'll passit on to you.

Speaker 2 (12:44):
I think men especially probably need wow,
iron, yeah, iron, exactly.
Yeah, I think that's part ofwhat it was?

Speaker 1 (12:49):
yeah, okay, so the perks of it um will be that it's
going to reduce your acne, it'sgoing to support your
microbiome, which is what wewere just talking about in the
last podcast, ironically, yep um, because you can get um.
Well, the microbiome I guess inyour gut is different from the
biofilm that we were talkingabout, but nevertheless you have
.
We have a microbiome.
You, I'm sure you've heard ofthat.

(13:10):
No, it's like a little city inthere, right?
So, yeah, there's good bacteria, there's bad bacteria.
We built this city on Twizzlersand rum.

Speaker 2 (13:21):
Twizzlers and rum that sounds like a party those
are great because you can usethe Twizzlers as a straw yeah,
like the coconut rum though, yesooh, okay, that sounds good.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
We don't drink either you guys don't drink either.
We're not sober, but we don'tdrink.
Okay, I just don't like alcohol.

Speaker 2 (13:39):
I'm not a yeah, I think the Welbutrin is helping
me, not like.

Speaker 1 (13:43):
I don't smoke anymore .

Speaker 2 (13:44):
I don't drink, I just don't have the predilection or
I don't have like the movementtowards it.
I can't think of the words thecraving, the craving or like I
just I don't go in thatdirection for some reason.
Great.

Speaker 1 (14:05):
Yeah, yes, amen, that's all we need.
So it reduces your acne, clearsinflammation and there is
really strong evidence thatlinks it to your gut health, to
rosacea, which is what I've beentelling people for so freaking
long.
Rosacea shows up, usually likein your nose and around here,
and these are digestive areas onyour face.
Oh wow, if you've ever noticedthat somebody has rosacea, it's
almost always like right here,right there, wow, and if they
eat something?

(14:25):
Inflammatory.
It flares up Wow.

Speaker 2 (14:28):
So it's not just from blowing your nose a lot, no,
just like so okay, but alsoalcohol does it too.

Speaker 1 (14:33):
I'm wondering if that has to do with it as well.
What's?

Speaker 2 (14:37):
the thing with people who get if they drink the gin
blossoms where your nose willactually change.
Oh my God, get if they drinklike the gin blossoms where,
like your nose will actuallychange, oh my god, oh, yeah,
yeah.

Speaker 1 (14:44):
Yeah, I have a feeling this is my only my
theory, and I come up with themall the time and I'm wrong a lot
, um, but but you also write alot, that's right.
Thank you, I appreciate thatpositive yes um, I feel like,
because it's, uh, alcohol turnsinto sugar that perhaps it's
glycating, uh, or is that howyou say?

Speaker 2 (15:00):
glycating, yeah.

Speaker 1 (15:00):
So basically, it's just like basically it's just
like, yeah, your capillaries inyour skin which are going to
burst and your skin is gettingeffed up as well, and if you're
like, I guess maybe I don't knowyour nose has more pressure
coming out of it.
I don't know, Maybe you'reblowing your nose.

Speaker 2 (15:15):
Glycating is basically like from the
Instagram meme that I saw.
I saw like that is basicallylike cooking, like it gets, it
turns into sugar and basicallycooks it.

Speaker 1 (15:26):
So that thing is basically almost it's kind of
it's hardened, it's hardened,yeah, yeah, wow.
So they get part of your skin.

Speaker 2 (15:29):
So that makes sense that that would just you know,
create like harder spots on yourskin?

Speaker 1 (15:33):
yeah, absolutely.
I have a friend that drinks alot and, um, I'm not gonna say
what gender they are and uh,this person gets really red and
then quits for a long time andgets perfect skin and then goes
back and then it happens again.
You see it again yeah, so it'sdefinitely from the alcohol yeah
, I know you're like, yeah, it'stoo bad.

Speaker 2 (15:53):
Do they try to hide it from you?
And you're like, no, I can telllike it's like it's like a
poker face that you you knowthey're pretty honest with it.

Speaker 1 (16:00):
well, usually I see it in their hand.

Speaker 2 (16:02):
That's so funny, see a glass in their hand, you know.

Speaker 1 (16:07):
She's kind of a sleuth that way that makes sense
.

Speaker 2 (16:09):
Most people wouldn't be that perceptive.

Speaker 1 (16:14):
I love you so much, jackie.
And they just like come onboard with me when they're on
their span of not drinking.
They just like come on boardwith me, like yeah, we're sober,
da, da, da.
I'm just like you're not reallysober, because any day now
you're gonna pick it up again,you know.
But I'm just like mm-hmm,mm-hmm, and they like start
judging the other people thatdrink.

(16:35):
Like right away, right away.

Speaker 2 (16:37):
That's how you know they're gonna backslide Right
away the first time.

Speaker 1 (16:41):
It's really funny.
I hope they don't watch this.
I feel like that's really funnywhen they backslide, Anyway.

Speaker 2 (16:44):
So it's the best intentions.
You want to have the community,so you feel it.
But then life, sometimes yougotta have a tootsie roll, oh
you know why it makes me laughso much?

Speaker 1 (16:54):
Because that's what I did, because I would quit
drinking for a long time andthen start again, and I would
act like I was sober too.
Everything people have done, Idid to my friend.
Do you know, amber Tozer?
I know, yeah, she helped me getsober, but she was sober way
before me, like six years beforeme.
She didn't help me get sober, Ijust liked her life and how she

(17:18):
walked through the world.

Speaker 2 (17:19):
I was like oh, I can do that.
Good example, inspiring.
Yeah, she inspired me.

Speaker 1 (17:27):
Oh, I can do that.
Good example, Inspiring yeah,she inspired me and uh, oh my
God, just thinking about all thetimes I was like I've been
drinking a lot less and like,just cause I did the same thing.
So it's funny when people do itto me because I'm like I did it
to other people.
I wonder if it's partially too,because it's like you.
The thing you get from thealcohol is this good feeling,
and then you get this rush ofdopamine when you tell somebody
something that you're doing, andthen you're like, oh, that
feels good.
Now they're like, oh cool,you're doing that thing, but

(17:49):
you're really just not doing it.
You're not doing it, yeah yeah,I didn't know what not drinking
really was.
I was just like, oh yeah, I'mnot drinking.
And she would be like, wow,like you know.

(18:09):
And then I'd be like, oh yeah,well, I'm gonna drink tomorrow.
Just like, just want, right,this minute, no drinking.
Yeah, yeah, I would just loopmyself into that.

Speaker 2 (18:13):
You know I wasn't drinking, yeah, all right, so,
uh.
So if your brain is, amazing itis.

Speaker 1 (18:15):
Yeah, if your skin throwing a tantrum, I guess you
can just go ahead and um, oh,that's a stupid joke Eat some
sauerkraut, okay, eat sauerkraut, okay.
Number three pumpkin seeds Wow,pumpkin seeds, wow.
They're usually not, becausenuts are usually the first thing

(18:36):
that people go for, but yeah,pumpkin seeds are really high in
zinc, which is really good foryou.
It's good to help you sleep,isn't it?
It might be, yeah.
I wonder why.
I'm not sure.
Maybe I'm wrong.
Well, maybe the zinc, I don'tknow, but zinc is good for acne
fighting.
Also selenium it's rich inselenium and vitamin E, and

Wow, you hate it that much.
Every year I try it again andit's like I want to throw up.
I hate it so much.
But I have to say, the firsttime I had sushi, I was drinking
and I ate a lot and then Ithrew up that's probably might

(20:14):
be why, but you would think bynow I would be able to eat it
but I really just like it makesme sick, is it the smell?
I can't swallow it Like I'll belike, oh, let me try like
somebody else's, just to see ifit still makes me sick.

Yeah, a lot of unshewed meat inmy lap, uh, over the course of
my life and the crispy seaweedlooks so good.

Speaker 2 (20:48):
It does it is good.

Speaker 1 (20:48):
I can't even have that.
But you know what's stupid is,they put it in all that plastic
packaging and there's like fourof them in there, right.
And then it's like now that'sgoing in a landfill and you
basically had something thattook up this much space in the
ocean, right, right, I don'tknow.

Speaker 2 (21:00):
Yeah that's very true .
At least they throw it back inthe ocean.
Right, right, I don't know.
Yeah, that's very true, atleast they throw it back in the
ocean.
Oh, the plastic just goes rightin the ocean.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (21:06):
Very, very eco-friendly.

Speaker 2 (21:07):
With the diapers and baby wipes, with the diapers and
the babies because they eatseafood and so it's all right
back to the ocean, yeah it'svery natural.

Speaker 1 (21:18):
It's filled with minerals.

Speaker 2 (21:19):
I wish I liked it, I know.

Speaker 1 (21:22):
Maybe we'll sneak into something that we give you.

Speaker 2 (21:24):
I can have the seaweed salad.

Speaker 1 (21:27):
I don't know why that's fine.

Speaker 2 (21:29):
Really.

Speaker 1 (21:30):
But it's not the same seaweed as nori.
It's stringy, I can eat that,so it's just a different type of
seaweed.
It's the nori.

Speaker 2 (21:38):
Is it the same flavor , but it's the texture that?
No, it's a different flavor,totally different flavor, okay,
different smell different.

Speaker 1 (21:45):
everything Is it fermented?
The one that you do?

Speaker 2 (21:47):

It might be that way.
You like it, like pickled, youknow yeah.

Speaker 1 (21:53):
I'll eat anything if it's pickled.

Speaker 2 (21:54):
Yeah, for sure.

Speaker 1 (21:55):
Yeah, it it's got polysaccharides and iodine,
which we don't get enough of inour diet.
Why can't I, like you, I know,just go swimming with your mouth
open in the ocean?
So, yeah, it's good for yourhydration um the firmness in
your skin elasticity, which weall need uh and also a seaweed

the 90s uh I think around like, maybe like mid 90s
or something like that, or Ifeel like the name Ween turned
me off.

Speaker 1 (23:45):
I thought it was just like a joking sort of name you
know.
So I was like oh, that soundsstupid, I'm not gonna listen to
that.
Yeah, they play like differentgenres every album's like a new
genre.

Speaker 2 (23:54):

sorry, ween they must have heardthat before I imagine this is
the first time they're like ohmy god we never put that

nothing us.

Speaker 1 (24:23):

content.

Speaker 2 (26:11):
Unless they've evolved and they're the ones
living in town now, oh Right.

it is actually not that bad foryou, especially the darker
sugars are usually are have alower glycemic index, so it's
not going to like raise yourblood sugar and drop it so fast.

they might even use molasses.
I don't know, I forget theymake brown sugar but the raw
sugar is better because it'sdarker.

break down.

I prided myself on it becauseother people talked about it,
