Ep. 445 Hormones, Microbiome & Skin: Urolithin A’s Role with Jennifer Scheinman

Today, I have the pleasure of speaking with Jen Scheinman, a registered dietitian and one of the lead educators at Timeline Nutrition. In our discussion, we dive into Urolithin A as a postbiotic nutrient and explain why we cannot get enough through nutrition alone. Jen shares common midlife symptoms she observes in her patients and clients, including changes in body composition, mood, skin health, and fatigue. We explore the impact of immunosenescence, mitochondrial dysfunction, and the connection between mitochondria and estrogen, and Jen discusses regional differences in diet and the microbiome, how birth delivery methods, infant feeding choices, and antibiotics shape gut health, and offers practical lifestyle strategies for improving skin health. We also touch on the latest research into the skin benefits of topical application of Urolithin A. I know you will find this conversation invaluable, and I look forward to having Jen back later this year to dive even deeper into the science behind Urolithin A.
