    PEPTIDES FOR YOUR SKIN?! Regenerative Skincare: The Skin Industry's Best-Kept Secret with Sara Douglas of Cellure

    This week we're sitting back down with Sara Douglas — but this time we're talking about her other brand, Cellure. (If you missed our episode on Vitaclean, go listen after this one.) Sara is one of those rare founders who doesn't build companies for the sake of building — she builds them because she's lived the problem. Her skin journey is the reason Cellure exists, and what she's learned about how skin actually heals (vs. how the skincare industry tells you it heals) is going to change how you think about your routine. We're getting into why most skincare only addresses surface-level issues, what it actually means to have a damaged skin barrier, and the new category Sara's brand is building: regenerative skincare. Spoiler — it's a completely different approach to anti-aging, inflammation, and skin healing than what's on most shelves right now. If you've been throwing money at serums, sheet masks, and 12-step routines and your skin is still pissed at you, this episode is going to make a lot of things click. Here's what we get into: Sara's real skin journey and the moment she realized traditional skincare wasn't cutting itHow Cellure connects to Vitaclean (yes, they go together — and there's a reason)Why most skincare only treats the surface — and why that approach will never give you the results you wantWhat a damaged skin barrier actually is, the signs you have one, and how to actually fix itWhat "regenerative skincare" means in simple, non-marketing termsCellure's three targeted serums — Peptide Hydro Lift, Volufiline, and Tranexamic Acid — and what each one doesThe biggest skincare mistakes most women are making right nowWhether you can use these alongside retinol and other actives — and how to layer them correctly Mentioned in the episode: Use code GUTTALK15 for 15% on amazon and cellure.co website  Cellure Peptide Hydro Lift SerumCellure Volufiline SerumCellure Tranexamic Acid SerumVitaclean (our previous episode with Sara — a must-listen if you haven't yet) Where to find Cellure: Website: cellureInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/cellurelabs/Sara's IG: @sarakdouglas Giveaway alert!!

    The Truth About Your Shower Water and Its Impact on Your Hair and Skin, with the Co-Founders of Vitaclean, Sara Douglas and Kristina Velkova

    This week we're sitting down with Sara Douglas and Kristina Velkova, the co-founders of Vitaclean — the shower filter that's quietly fixing the thing nobody told us was a problem: our shower water. If you've ever wondered why your skin breaks out, your hair feels brittle, or your scalp is dry no matter how many products you throw at it — this episode is going to make you look at your shower differently. We're getting into what's actually in the water coming out of your faucet (chlorine, minerals, and a few things you don't want to know about), why Texas hair is a real phenomenon, and what we both noticed when we started filtering our showers. Sara and Kristina also walk us through how they built Vitaclean — two women, a real problem, and a category that's blowing up right now for a reason. Here's what we get into: How Sara and Kristina met and what made them go from idea to actual business — the real version, not the LinkedIn versionThe personal hair and skin struggles that started this whole thingWhat's actually in your shower water (you're going to want to sit down)Why Texas water is wrecking Jill's hair and why Jenna's back acne might be a water issue, not a skincare issueWhy the shower filter category is exploding right now — and whether water quality is genuinely getting worseHow the 3-stage Vitaclean filter actually works (and why Vitamin C is the hero ingredient)What makes Vitaclean different from every other filter on the marketThe new Vitaclean Ultra — what it is, who it's forWhat you'll actually notice after you start using one (and how fast)Sara and Kristina's personal shower routines — products, ingredients, the stuff they swear by, and what they avoidTheir favorite health hacks right nowShower filter mentioned in the episode: Vitaclean Ultra: Use code GUTTALK for 20% off the vitaclean starter kit Where to find Vitaclean: Website: https://vitacleanhq.com/ Instagram: @vitacleanSara's IG: @sarakdouglasKristina's IG: @kristinavelkova Connect with us: If your shower water is officially scaring you now, come tell us in the DMs — we want to hear what you noticed when you started filtering.

    APR 22

    SISTER SOLO: The Scrappy Reality of Building a Business, Pepsi's New Fiber Soda, and Giving Up Protein???

    We're back!! And this time from the studio we ACTUALLY built — kind of. It's mostly done. Sitting-on-the-floor era → full studio in 5 days and we are still a little bit in shock. This one's just us. No guest, no script, just two sisters catching up on what's actually going on behind the scenes of building a business, why we're over influencer drama, and the health trends we're low-key side-eyeing right now. What we get into: - The studio glow up — going from zero to a real space in less than a week. Shoutout to the team who made it happen, we love you. - The not-so-aesthetic part of owning a business — loans, landlord meetings, fighting with Amazon over a missing mic. It's not all pretty lighting and iced matchas. - The Alex vs. Alix of it all — we're genuinely so over the influencer drama. Our dad told us to "go read a book and climb a tree" and honestly? That's the energy we're bringing into 2026. Health hot takes: Pepsi's fiber soda — is it a health move or just giving gimmick? (Spoiler: we're sticking with our gut-friendly faves) The ozempic olympics — our real thoughts on the skinny-girl energy at Coachella and everywhere else rn Things we won't shut up about: Claude AI — Jill is officially a claude girly for her business systems K18 dry shampoo — THE holy grail for volume + skipping wash days Saying no — protecting your energy is a whole vibe Lifting weights — Jenna's whole thing lately, the confidence shift is real Eating Less protein -- should we talk more about this? Mentioned in the ep: Emma Grede's audiobook Dermot Kennedy's new album Tubing mascara — genuinely life-changing for easy removal Come hang with us!! If you have ideas for new segments or just want to say hi, we're on socials. We love our girls — you guys literally kept us going through every moment we thought about quitting 🍒

    WELCOME TO OUR VERY OWN PODCAST STUDIO: Studio plans, Bravo drama, and life updates

    SURPRISE!!! This week’s episode is a BIG one—because we’re officially building out our own studio (!!!!!) and stepping into a whole new era. We talk about what it’s really looked like behind the scenes: getting honest with ourselves, taking risks, and pushing through the uncomfortable parts to actually go after what we want. For the first time, we’re starting to see the fruits of our labor come back around—and learning how to slow down enough to feel grateful for it. We also share a reminder we both needed: you can be in the absolute lowest place and still turn things around. Truly. Then of course… we get into the BRAVO of it all. Our (mainly Jill's) raw, unfiltered reactions to the Ciara/West/Amanda drama. We talk about where the line should be, why Jill's ALMOST lowkey feeling bad for Amanda (??), and how important solid friendships are—especially when things get messy. Who speaks up? Who stays quiet? And how many people just turn a blind eye? and of course our biggest question, WHY?! We wrap with some life updates: - Jill's at home coffee shop (Breville update)- a gut health update (H. pylori & muscle testing)- Jill's new job - Jenna's part time job- Duke’s attackGratitude mindset  Sponsor: KION EAAS: You can get 20% off here:http://getkion.com/guttalk

    In this episode, we sit down with Doctor’s Best Ambassador, Dr. Devin Stone — naturopathic doctor and founder of Tulsi Wellness — for a no-BS conversation answering the health questions you’ve been thinking about… but didn’t know who to ask. 👉 Doctor’s Best Supplements (https://www.doctorsbest.com/) Use code: GutTalk20 for 20% off (next 60 days) Some of our favs: Doctor's Best L-Glutamine  Doctor's Best Collagen + Peptides  Doctor's Best PepZin GI  Doctor's Best Postbiotic Butyrate  Doctor’s Best Gluten-Rescue Doctor’s Best Omega-3 We get into: - What Dr. Stone means by the need for a “paradigm shift” in healthcare - What being proactive about your health actually looks like (especially for women 18–45) - How often you should really be getting labs done — and which markers matter most - Supporting your gut without overspending or overcomplicating things - The gut-brain connection and its link to anxiety + hormone imbalance - Nervous system regulation and why it’s foundational - Chronic yeast infections — what’s often overlooked - Creatine for women: worth it or not?

And of course, we wrap with the most important question:If you could only do 2–3 things starting tomorrow to improve your health… what would they be? Supplements don’t have to be overwhelming.

    Dave Friedberg on Optimizing Your Gut Microbiome, the Power of Fiber & the Mindset for Success

    In this episode, we sit down with Dave Friedberg—co-founder of Supergut, co-host of the All-In podcast, and former CEO of The Climate Corporation—to break down the science of the gut microbiome and why fiber—specifically resistant starch—plays such a critical role in optimizing it. Friedberg explains why most common probiotics fail to create lasting change, and introduces resistant starch—a powerful prebiotic—as a more effective way to support long-term gut health. He walks us through how it works, including how beneficial gut bacteria ferment resistant starch to produce short-chain fatty acids like butyrate, which are linked to improved blood sugar regulation, reduced inflammation, and increased production of GLP-1, a hormone that helps regulate appetite. We also dive into his personal philosophy on health, supplementation, and building a successful career—highlighting the non-negotiable importance of sleep and the role curiosity plays in long-term growth.
