0:00.0	Welcome to the Commune podcast. My name is Jeff Krasno. Today on the show, I welcome Dr. Sarah
0:15.0	Villafranco. Sarah is the founder of Osmea Skin Care. Sarah was an emergency room doctor when she began humbly experimenting with her Vitamix,
0:26.8	making soap, and now she's distributing natural products featured in Cosmopolitan's Best of Lists
0:34.3	and many other places.
0:36.1	So we're slathering all of this stuff on our skin and in our
0:40.7	hair and on our eyes and on our lips, but what are we doing rather unconsciously where Sarah will
0:48.1	help us untangle all of that? She really just is a powerhouse of knowledge pertaining to beauty products and to our
0:57.9	body's largest organ, which is, of course, our skin. But our conversation goes well beyond how to

1:43.3	Help me lose 60 pounds, reverse my pre-diabetes,
1:47.2	improve my sleep, increase my ability to focus, and just feel more energized, be a better parent,
1:53.8	better husband. So this is the idea. Periods of calorie restriction due to food scarcity,
2:03.6	exposure to heat and cold, early morning light, intense physical labor, connection to nature, face-to-face communication, and living in
2:09.3	community, all these things were simply part of life for tens of thousands of years.
2:16.4	We evolved in relation to these paleolithic and sometimes harsh
2:22.1	environmental conditions. These stressors, as I explained in my course, activated longevity
2:28.9	pathways and built resilience. But now, in an era of uber convenience, we need to purposefully self-impose these
2:39.4	conditions as a means to be well, to align with our biology. This program breaks down the
