Podcast: The Whole View with Stacy Toth
Guest: Dr Yug Varma
Episode: Episode 123: Your Skin Microbi–The Whole View with Stacy Toth – Apple Podcasts
Host website: realeverything.com
Dr. Yug Varma is co-founder of Phyla and has 10+ years of microbiome research experience including an extensive background in bio-organic chemistry, microbiology, and synthetic biology. Yug Varma, PhD joins Stacy to converse and enlighten us about the microbiomes that inhabit our bodies and skin. He emphasizes the significance of maintaining a balanced environment for these microbes and highlights how crucial hydration is—both internally and externally—for skin health. Passionate about advancing scientific understanding, he dedicates much of his time to simplifying microbiome research and making it accessible to everyone.
‘’It’s really fascinating how the skin has evolved or adapted its defenses and that it functions as remarkably homeostatic as it does, which means it maintains a certain balance and just stays there. And one of the crucial parts of that is the pH. The skin is very acidic. And that acidity makes it very inhospitable for most bacteria that are just landing on it to survive. Obviously, the bacteria that are in our skin microbiome have adapted to that acidic situation. So it’s really important to maintain the pH of your skin.’’ – Dr. Yug Varma
Highlights of the episode include:
- Our skin is not only our largest organ but also has the greatest surface area and weight among all organs. It serves as our primary connection to the world, allowing us to touch and feel through our fingers and body. Consequently, our skin is constantly exposed to various elements and comes into contact with numerous microorganisms daily.
- The skin has an acidic nature. Stacy emphasizes the importance of a prep or tone step for maintaining acidity balance, and they both highlight the necessity of moisturizing!
- Stacy has observed that many people, particularly the younger generation, are overdoing their skincare routines. They're using an excessive number of products that can be too aggressive, which dry out the skin and disrupts the healthy microbiome essential for skin protection. Dr. Varma concurs, noting that a lack of diversity in your skin's bacteria can lead to dysbiosis.
- Stacy and Dr. Varma discuss the crucial role of sebum, the oily substance that safeguards and hydrates our skin, in reducing water loss and minimizing fine lines and wrinkles. Ensuring your skin stays hydrated can help reduce excess sebum production.

Guest: Rob Ashton
Episode: 291. Rob Ashton — Silent Influ - The Michael Shermer Show - Apple Podcasts
YouTube: The Science of Writing, Reading, and Communicating (Rob Ashton)
About the host:
The Michael Shermer Show is a series of long-form conversations between Dr. Michael Shermer and leading scientists, philosophers, historians, scholars, writers and thinkers about the most important issues of our time. He is the Founding Publisher of Skeptic magazine, the Executive Director of the Skeptics Society, and a Presidential Fellow at Chapman University where he teaches Skepticism 101. For 18 years he was a monthly columnist for Scientific American. He is the author of New York Times bestsellers Why People Believe Weird Things and The Believing Brain, Why Darwin Matters, The Science of Good and Evil, The Moral Arc, and Heavens on Earth. His new book is Giving the Devil His Due: Reflections of a Scientific Humanist.
The interview:
Rob Ashton is a writer, editor, and a former research scientist (a molecular biology researcher who helped develop the first tests for HIV). For the last six years, he’s been on a quest to discover the science of how the words we read and write affect what we think and do. His experience includes 24 years advising some of the biggest names in commerce, such as Google, as well as working with national governments, charities and even the Royal Household at Buckingham Palace, all in an effort to help their people communicate more effectively in writing. He calls writing ‘the invisible medium’. And he believes much of the misunderstanding in the world stems from our increasing reliance on our keyboards and phone screens to ‘talk’ to each other. But he says it’s always frustrated him that so much of the communication advice on the web and pushed by consultants is based on a mixture of pseudoscience, hearsay and wishful thinking.

Podcast: The Treatment Room with Tessa Zolly
Guest: Dr. Yug Varma
Episode: the-science-of-acne-the-skin microbiome-dr-varma-phd
Host website: tessaskin.com
A skin care expert favorite Dr Yug Varma answers questions such as - What is the microbiome? How is this unique for the gut + skin? What role does the microbiome play in acne, rosacea, and psoriasis? What is the problem with popular acne medications like Accutane, antibiotics and Spiranolactone? How to eat in a way that supports gut health? And more! He demystifies probiotic skincare and delves into the subject of probiotics and antibiotics.
‘’Our outlook is to not solve acne for this week or next month, but for the long term’’. Dr. Yug Varma.
Highlights and what we learn:
He emphasizes that the health of the skin microbiome is critical and discusses his journey to develop a probiotic acne treatment that specifically targets the overgrowth of acne-causing bacteria. Dr. Varma also addresses the limitations of common acne treatments like antibiotics and Accutane, advocating for more sustainable and effective solutions based on science and microbiome research. While everyone's skin hosts similar bacteria, some struggle with acne while others don't. The key lies in the balance, as acne mainly results from an overgrowth of Cutibacterium acnes. (C. acnes).
