Hormones. Skin. Hormones and skin. What a match these two are! Think about it for a second. When your hormones do what they do (especially the sex hormones and other hormones related to reproductive... stuff) skin often freaks out and takes on a life of its own. Acne. Dry skin. Oily skin. Angry skin. Confused skin. It's all related to hormonal changes!
My guest today is an expert in bio-organic chemistry, microbiology, synthetic biology, and skincare and he's here to talk about his innovative probiotic acne system and skincare line, Phyla.
Yug Varma, PhD, is the Cofounder & CEO of Phyla, the world’s most advanced probiotic acne system.
He has 10+ years of microbiome research experience including an extensive background in bio-organic chemistry, microbiology, and synthetic biology. Dr. Varma received his scientific training at several distinguished academic institutions, including Johns Hopkins University (PhD) and University of California, San Francisco. His scientific work has been published in many prestigious journals, including Nature.
Dr. Varma’s mission is to change the way we treat chronic bacterial diseases, and is working tirelessly to achieve this goal with a microbiome-based technology platform. He is passionate about promoting scientific literacy, and devotes a significant amount of time demystifying microbiome research and making the latest research accessible to the general public.

Betrayal Season 5
Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark. This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
