Episode Summary
In this episode, we explore the fascinating ways your skin—the body’s largest organ—filters, repels, and detoxifies harmful substances. From sweat glands to sebaceous glands, learn how your skin not only protects but also expels garbage. Discover why what you put on your skin matters as much as what you put in your body.
Key Topics Covered

o Acts as a barrier, filtering and repelling harmful substances.
o Vulnerable when dry or injured.
2. Immune Cells – Skin’s Auto-Detox
o Found in deeper layers of the dermis.
o Fight bacteria, repair wounds, and maintain skin health.
3. Sweat Glands – Expelling Waste
o Eliminate urea, heavy metals, and persistent organic pollutants.
o Unique elimination pathway for lipid-based toxins.
4. Sebaceous (Oil) Glands – Gatekeepers
o Produce antimicrobial oil to protect and moisturize the skin.
5. The Impact of Endocrine Disruptors
