Choosing Skin Care Products that Won’t Make You Sick with Dr. Cindy Geyer

Choosing Skin Care Products that Won’t Make You Sick | This episode
is sponsored by Rupa Health and HigherDOSE What we put on our
skin—the largest organ in our body—gets absorbed and travels
through the bloodstream. It’s a simple fact, yet so many of us
don’t think twice about how the ingredients in our favorite skin
care products, such as shampoo, sunscreen, lotion, and insect
repellent, affect our health. Even small amounts of toxic
ingredients in skin products can add up and contribute to endocrine
disorders, heart disease, cancer, and a range of other
illnesses.  In this episode, Dr. Hyman talks to Dr. Cindy
Geyer about why it’s important to take a good look at what we put
on our skin. They discuss the dangers of ingredients such as
parabens and phthalates, which can disrupt hormones, as well as how
Dr. Hyman detoxes his body, where to find out how safe your
favorite products are, and much more. Dr. Cindy Geyer received her
Bachelor of Science and her Doctor of Medicine degrees, with
honors, from the Ohio State University. She completed residency in
internal medicine at Strong Memorial Hospital in Rochester, N.Y.
and is triple board certified in internal medicine, integrative
medicine, and lifestyle medicine. She joined The Ultrawellness
Center in 2021 after practicing and serving as the medical director
at Canyon Ranch for 23 years. She has served on the Board of
Directors for the American College of Lifestyle Medicine and is a
recently elected fellow of ACLM. Dr. Geyer has been a core faculty
member at The Center for Mind-Body Medicine (CMBM) for 20 years,
teaching physicians and other healthcare professionals how to use
food and lifestyle to address health concerns in their own lives
and those of their patients. A clinician, educator, and avid hiker,
she is passionate about collaborative approaches to health and
wellness: from the integrative team model in working with
individual patients, to community partnerships that together can
affect healthy changes in the places people live and work. This
