Could the secret to glowing skin be hiding in your kitchen? Forget expensive creams and complicated routines—the path to radiant skin might start with what's on your plate.
In this eye-opening episode, we explore five foods that can dramatically transform your complexion from the inside out. Starting with the humble potato (yes, potato!), we reveal how this starchy staple contains niacin and vitamin C that brightens skin and calms inflammation when applied topically. The benefits of fermented foods like sauerkraut demonstrate the powerful gut-skin connection, especially for those struggling with rosacea and persistent acne.
Jackie Monahan joins us for her third appearance, bringing her signature humor as we discuss how zinc-rich pumpkin seeds combat hormonal acne, seaweed delivers minerals essential for skin elasticity, and blackstrap molasses provides a concentrated dose of beauty-boosting minerals. Between scientific insights and personal testimonials (including Jackie's hilarious aversion to nori), we unpack how these everyday foods work from the inside out to give you results that expensive skincare products often can't deliver.
The conversation takes some delightfully unexpected turns—from nostalgic references to Sigmund and the Sea Monster to improvised songs about walking on tilapia—while delivering practical advice you can implement immediately. Whether you're dealing with dull skin, breakouts, or just want to support your skin's long-term health, this episode offers accessible, natural solutions that work with your body's own processes.

Speaker 1watched the whole like situation with them. I just watched this, the series, but I do hope they get out. I think they do. Yeah, I think so too.
Speaker 2I think I saw something it was a headline about them being. They were re -sentenced to life with parole. Oh so they do have the option for parole one day, I think, when they're like 200 and I don't know.
Speaker 1I don't know. I'm not sure how they should have to tour as Milli Vanilli.

Guest Introduction: Jackie Monahan
Speaker 1Tanya Nistrada.
Speaker 2Oh, and Tammy Jo Deeren.
Speaker 1Tammy Jo Deeren Yep, which is how this all? Started. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I wouldn't know you if I didn't know Tammy Jo, Right, right.
Speaker 2That's how I feel about anything. If I don't know anything, I don't know. Tammy Jo.
Speaker 1So what's up, girl? Oh, I'm doing good, I was just in a movie that doesn't have a title yet, and-.
Speaker 2Suspenseful. Yeah, it's very suspenseful.
Speaker 1I filmed it in New York. I can't talk about it, but I'm very excited about it.
Speaker 2That's awesome.
Speaker 1But it's a small part. It's a character part, but it's very big. I'm sure you brought a lot to it yeah it's really fun. That's fun. I like doing that, like they give you one line but you make it fucking cool. Yeah, it's exciting what I did. Oh, I'm excited.
Speaker 2You'll have to tell us later. Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1And I was on the East Coast for a month and a half and I missed LA, I have to say yeah, and it was kind of quiet for going on.
Speaker 2Did you find like when you were over there, you were like oh, I actually do miss being in LA.
Speaker 1I do.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1Especially with New York Cause it's so much more like I love. I do love New York. I have to say like I have a passion for New York city, like I I. There's a romance about it. I love it and but I like California better than New York and I do love LA too. I love LA too, but when I lived in New York, I have to say I wasn't like as excited to come back as I am to LA, because you're bracing yourself for being hit all the time.
Speaker 1Oh, yeah, just people just bumping into you, just people bumping into you.
Speaker 2Very little personal space.
Speaker 1Like yeah and just maybe yeah, not into you. Very little personal space Hitting you. Like, yeah and just maybe yeah, not hitting you, but like on the subway, you're getting hit, yeah you're. Not physically hit but jostled all the time, Like you're just jostled all the time your personal space is invaded a lot more. Right. So you're excited to go back to New York, but it's not the same. I think we're also still doing a six feet between people in LA. Right Since COVID and I think it still applies Right.
Speaker 2It's interesting too, because here it's like you feel like LA is so spread out so you have to get everywhere. New York, everything's right there, but everyone knows that, so everyone else is also right there. Oh right, so it's just kind of the trade-off you have for it. I'd rather be. I'd rather be in traffic in my car than traffic with people like this right, yeah, right yeah um, can I ask you a question? Yeah, yeah, what is today's show about? Oh, my god, jackie, do you know?
Speaker 1because I don't know this is such a great question. Thank you for asking I'm thank you. I was nervous to ask I want to keep talking about how much I'm, how much I appreciate you asking. Just keep trailing off. We have one minute left.
Speaker 2Good job asking. Thank you.
Speaker 1Yeah, that was amazing.
Speaker 2I'm glad you said that. I'll ask again what's today's show about? Oh my God, yeah.

Wow, they might not. Pizza no, it's not on the list. That would be freaking awesome.
Speaker 2Ice cream no, no what.

Speaker 2Celery is not on the list but it is.
Potatoes: Unexpected Skin Benefits
Speaker 1Yeah Well, these are like number one potatoes. No way, right.
Speaker 2For your skin Really. Yes, I thought it was like the first thing you hear about potatoes is too much starch Right and the carbs right.
Speaker 1The carbs absolutely. I didn't realize that yeah it's rich in niacin and vitamin C, which is really good for you on the inside. Wow, and you can take a potato and it brightens your skin.
Speaker 2It on your skin and it's good for brightening your skin and calming inflammation. Talk about potato head exactly. I got a headache, the potatoes got you should put jackie on the potato yeah yeah, have you done it?
Speaker 1have you put potato on you never? Oh, okay, yeah, this is gonna try.
Speaker 2Am I trying it? Do you light it?
Speaker 1on fire. First it's fries. You put french fries on your face, yeah. Yeah, home fries Covered in fries. I was waiting for the rest of the song. Oh yeah, I didn't practice. We'll come back, I'll have it next time. Okay, good, so yeah, so it's good for inflammation. And then the juice of potatoes are really their thing that people use what about if you let potatoes sit for a long time and then that gross juice. Is that good Wait?
Speaker 2on your face. Yeah, not the gross juice.
Speaker 1Have you ever let a potato sit too long?
Speaker 2and there's juice that comes out? Oh no, Not that juice.
Speaker 1What juice are you talking about? That's a great question. Maybe juicing the potato in a juicer? But yeah yours is worse. Yeah, mine's disgusting. When I came back it was there. You had those when they started crawling out of your.
Speaker 2Because then that's mushy potato head. Yeah, nobody wants that. You want that potato? What about the skin?
Speaker 1The skin is also good for you. The research I did did not mention the skin.
Speaker 2Okay, good, let's forget about the skin then.
Speaker 1But I'm assuming it's mostly the white part.
Speaker 2The white part.
Speaker 1Wow.
Speaker 2I mean, if you look at to eat it all day long, what about?
Speaker 1inserting it. That's a great question.
Speaker 2Jackie, I don't know, we'll have to try that Curly fries, yeah, curly fries, oh my God, okay.
Speaker 1So yeah, they do get a bad rap, but apparently you can brighten up your skin.
Speaker 2I'm excited about this. Yeah, I know I love potatoes.
Speaker 1I want to hear about anybody's experience with this.
Speaker 2Maybe if you try it.
Sauerkraut and Fermented Foods
Speaker 1What about next time I'm here? I'm this fat, I'm like, but my skin's great. Thanks a lot, Okay. So sauerkraut, oh yum I like sauerkraut.
Speaker 2Let's not talk about Germans in a salty way, I'm sorry. They're fine people.
Speaker 1Fermented foods, basically just in general, are good because it's good for your gut. Wow, I love sauerkraut. I do too. I love it. It's delicious. I haven't had it in such a long time, have you.
Speaker 2No, it's been a while. I think the last time I had it a Reuben sandwich.
Speaker 1Oh man, that sounds good. We're vegan now, unfortunately, what happened? You guys, I know.
Speaker 2Are you vegan too? No, you went back to-.
Speaker 1I don't drink, so I can eat all the meat I want.
Speaker 2There you go. That's how it works, that's the best. Oh man, yeah, we just kind of figured, you know, just to kind I feel a little better, you know, now, but I'm slowly easing eggs back into my body.
Speaker 1Yeah, oh, okay, is that what you were doing in the bathroom the other day? Yeah, I was putting eggs back. I was like, oh, I'm reverse hatching.
Speaker 2I don't know what that means, but yeah, you know, I'm not opposed to it. I'm not, you know.
Speaker 1but my sister just sent me. She keeps telling me that there's things vegans probably need that we're not getting, so I'll actually read her text later and I'll maybe I'll pass it on to you.
Speaker 2I think men especially probably need wow, iron, yeah, iron, exactly. Yeah, I think that's part of what it was?
Speaker 1yeah, okay, so the perks of it um will be that it's going to reduce your acne, it's going to support your microbiome, which is what we were just talking about in the last podcast, ironically, yep um, because you can get um.
Speaker 1Well, the microbiome I guess in your gut is different from the biofilm that we were talking about, but nevertheless you have. We have a microbiome. You, I'm sure you've heard of that. No, it's like a little city in there, right? So, yeah, there's good bacteria, there's bad bacteria. We built this city on Twizzlers and rum.
Speaker 2Twizzlers and rum that sounds like a party those are great because you can use the Twizzlers as a straw yeah, like the coconut rum though, yes ooh, okay, that sounds good.
Speaker 1We don't drink either you guys don't drink either. We're not sober, but we don't drink. Okay, I just don't like alcohol.
Speaker 2I'm not a yeah, I think the Welbutrin is helping me, not like.
Speaker 1I don't smoke anymore.
Speaker 2I don't drink, I just don't have the predilection or I don't have like the movement towards it. I can't think of the words the craving, the craving or like I just I don't go in that direction for some reason. Great.
Speaker 1Yeah, yes, amen, that's all we need. So it reduces your acne, clears inflammation and there is really strong evidence that links it to your gut health, to rosacea, which is what I've been telling people for so freaking long. Rosacea shows up, usually like in your nose and around here, and these are digestive areas on your face. Oh wow, if you've ever noticed that somebody has rosacea, it's almost always like right here, right there, wow, and if they eat something? Inflammatory. It flares up Wow.
Speaker 2So it's not just from blowing your nose a lot, no, just like so okay, but also alcohol does it too.
Speaker 1I'm wondering if that has to do with it as well. What's?
Speaker 2the thing with people who get if they drink the gin blossoms where your nose will actually change. Oh my God, get if they drink like the gin blossoms where, like your nose will actually change, oh my god, oh, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1Yeah, I have a feeling this is my only my theory, and I come up with them all the time and I'm wrong a lot, um, but but you also write a lot, that's right. Thank you, I appreciate that positive yes um, I feel like, because it's, uh, alcohol turns into sugar that perhaps it's glycating, uh, or is that how you say?
Speaker 2glycating, yeah.
Speaker 1So basically, it's just like basically it's just like, yeah, your capillaries in your skin which are going to burst and your skin is getting effed up as well, and if you're like, I guess maybe I don't know your nose has more pressure coming out of it. I don't know, Maybe you're blowing your nose.
Speaker 2Glycating is basically like from the Instagram meme that I saw. I saw like that is basically like cooking, like it gets, it turns into sugar and basically cooks it.
Speaker 1So that thing is basically almost it's kind of it's hardened, it's hardened, yeah, yeah, wow. So they get part of your skin.
Speaker 2So that makes sense that that would just you know, create like harder spots on your skin?
Speaker 1yeah, absolutely. I have a friend that drinks a lot and, um, I'm not gonna say what gender they are and uh, this person gets really red and then quits for a long time and gets perfect skin and then goes back and then it happens again. You see it again yeah, so it's definitely from the alcohol yeah, I know you're like, yeah, it's too bad.
Speaker 2Do they try to hide it from you? And you're like, no, I can tell like it's like it's like a poker face that you you know they're pretty honest with it.
Speaker 1well, usually I see it in their hand.
Speaker 2That's so funny, see a glass in their hand, you know.
Speaker 1She's kind of a sleuth that way that makes sense.
Speaker 2Most people wouldn't be that perceptive.
Speaker 1I love you so much, jackie. And they just like come on board with me when they're on their span of not drinking. They just like come on board with me, like yeah, we're sober, da, da, da. I'm just like you're not really sober, because any day now you're gonna pick it up again, you know. But I'm just like mm-hmm, mm-hmm, and they like start judging the other people that drink. Like right away, right away.
Speaker 2That's how you know they're gonna backslide Right away the first time.
Speaker 1It's really funny. I hope they don't watch this. I feel like that's really funny when they backslide, Anyway.
Speaker 2So it's the best intentions. You want to have the community, so you feel it. But then life, sometimes you gotta have a tootsie roll, oh you know why it makes me laugh so much?
Speaker 1Because that's what I did, because I would quit drinking for a long time and then start again, and I would act like I was sober too. Everything people have done, I did to my friend. Do you know, amber Tozer? I know, yeah, she helped me get sober, but she was sober way before me, like six years before me. She didn't help me get sober, I just liked her life and how she walked through the world.
Speaker 2I was like oh, I can do that. Good example, inspiring. Yeah, she inspired me.
Speaker 1Oh, I can do that. Good example, Inspiring yeah, she inspired me and uh, oh my God, just thinking about all the times I was like I've been drinking a lot less and like, just cause I did the same thing. So it's funny when people do it to me because I'm like I did it to other people. I wonder if it's partially too, because it's like you. The thing you get from the alcohol is this good feeling, and then you get this rush of dopamine when you tell somebody something that you're doing, and then you're like, oh, that feels good. Now they're like, oh cool, you're doing that thing, but you're really just not doing it.
Speaker 1You're not doing it, yeah yeah, I didn't know what not drinking really was. I was just like, oh yeah, I'm not drinking. And she would be like, wow, like you know. And then I'd be like, oh yeah, well, I'm gonna drink tomorrow. Just like, just want, right, this minute, no drinking. Yeah, yeah, I would just loop myself into that.
Speaker 2You know I wasn't drinking, yeah, all right, so, uh. So if your brain is, amazing it is.
Pumpkin Seeds for Hormonal Acne
Speaker 1Yeah, if your skin throwing a tantrum, I guess you can just go ahead and um, oh, that's a stupid joke Eat some sauerkraut, okay, eat sauerkraut, okay. Number three pumpkin seeds Wow, pumpkin seeds, wow. They're usually not, because nuts are usually the first thing that people go for, but yeah, pumpkin seeds are really high in zinc, which is really good for you.
Speaker 1It's good to help you sleep, isn't it? It might be, yeah. I wonder why. I'm not sure. Maybe I'm wrong. Well, maybe the zinc, I don't know, but zinc is good for acne fighting. Also selenium it's rich in selenium and vitamin E, and those are all just good for you in general, and these are all things I like to eat yeah, so far, so good all right, let's see what's next
Speaker 1all right yeah, so it's great for hormonal acne, repairing your texture of your skin. Um, you can add it to smoothies oatmeal yeah, or just eat it. Have you ever just like roasted your pumpkin seeds?
Speaker 2like after Thanksgiving. What is this? Halloween, halloween, yeah yeah, I used to like the roast pumpkin seeds and then I'd give it out to trick-or-treaters when I came to the door these are good for you and I give each one of them two pumpkin seeds did you get? Egged. No, I told them I was vegan. So they just had they just threw tofu tofu at the door.
Seaweed: Minerals for Skin Elasticity
Speaker 1I don't know it's just a terrible joke. All right, I liked it. Thank you. All right, it's good improv. Yeah, that's good improv too, I like. I liked it. Yeah, yeah it. Yeah, tofu at the door. Okay, seaweed. Number four is seaweed. You're not interested in seaweed I wish I liked it.
Speaker 1I don't know what is wrong with me that I don't like it. Do you eat sushi? I do, but I have to get it with rice paper or soy paper. Wow, you hate it that much. Every year I try it again and it's like I want to throw up. I hate it so much. But I have to say, the first time I had sushi, I was drinking and I ate a lot and then I threw up that's probably might be why, but you would think by now I would be able to eat it but I really just like it makes me sick, is it the smell?
Speaker 1I can't swallow it Like I'll be like, oh, let me try like somebody else's, just to see if it still makes me sick.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1And I'll just be like, like they'll be talking away and I'll be like I gotta get out of here Like I gotta throw up.
Speaker 2You do that thing where you spit it out and leave it in a plant.
Speaker 1Yeah, I've done that so many times, so many times. Yeah, a lot of unshewed meat in my lap, uh, over the course of my life and the crispy seaweed looks so good.
Speaker 2It does it is good.
Speaker 1I can't even have that. But you know what's stupid is, they put it in all that plastic packaging and there's like four of them in there, right. And then it's like now that's going in a landfill and you basically had something that took up this much space in the ocean, right, right, I don't know.
Speaker 2Yeah that's very true. At least they throw it back in the ocean. Right, right, I don't know. Yeah, that's very true, at least they throw it back in the ocean. Oh, the plastic just goes right in the ocean. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1Very, very eco-friendly.
Speaker 2With the diapers and baby wipes, with the diapers and the babies because they eat seafood and so it's all right back to the ocean, yeah it's very natural.
Speaker 1It's filled with minerals.
Speaker 2I wish I liked it, I know.
Speaker 1Maybe we'll sneak into something that we give you.
Speaker 2I can have the seaweed salad.
Speaker 1I don't know why that's fine.
Speaker 2Really.
Speaker 1But it's not the same seaweed as nori. It's stringy, I can eat that, so it's just a different type of seaweed. It's the nori.
Speaker 2Is it the same flavor, but it's the texture that? No, it's a different flavor, totally different flavor, okay, different smell different.
Speaker 1everything Is it fermented? The one that you do?
Speaker 2like. I don't know, maybe Because, it's in a salad, it might be. It might be that way. You like it, like pickled, you know yeah.
Speaker 1I'll eat anything if it's pickled.
Speaker 2Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1Yeah, it it's got polysaccharides and iodine, which we don't get enough of in our diet. Why can't I, like you, I know, just go swimming with your mouth open in the ocean? So, yeah, it's good for your hydration um the firmness in your skin elasticity, which we all need uh and also a seaweed mask, which, uh, apparently I I could do that.
Speaker 1You would do a seaweed, I could do that. Okay, should we go get seaweed from the ocean? Yeah, so when the seaweed attacks my leg, I should take it with me and put it on my face.
Speaker 2Absolutely yeah, okay.
Speaker 1Like Sigmund and the Sea Monster.
Speaker 2Yeah, oh, there we go. Did you remember that show? Yeah.
Speaker 1Yeah.
Speaker 2On what.
Speaker 1Sigmund and the Sea Monster. There was like the little guy, right. Oh, and the other guy was a kid right.
Speaker 2Yeah.
Speaker 1Okay.
Speaker 2I'm not familiar with that show. What the hell it's because he's younger than us.
Speaker 1Seaweed all over my face. Seaweed and potatoes that sounds disgusting.
Speaker 2That's my favorite ween song. Sweet seaweed and potatoes.
Speaker 1Oh, wow, yeah.
Speaker 2Good improv, by the way. I like that. That's my favorite. Oh, whoa, wow yeah.
Speaker 1Did you say ween?
Speaker 2Ween, yeah, I saw ween.
Speaker 1Did you guys see ween at the Hollywood Bowl?
Speaker 2You saw them there? Yeah, I did, that was so fun, that was really fun. That's so cool. I don't really know them that much. I've gotten to know them more and more over the just really incredible musicians they could do anything, ocean man oh my god, it's so good yeah yeah, yeah, that's it.
Speaker 1I never saw it well I was just pretending that, that I knew what you guys that's pretty good though.
Speaker 2Yeah, it was good. I almost pulled it off. Yeah, not bad until you went.
Speaker 1Well, I don't know but when it came out, what was that?
Speaker 2the 90s uh I think around like, maybe like mid 90s or something like that, or I feel like the name Ween turned me off.
Speaker 1I thought it was just like a joking sort of name you know. So I was like oh, that sounds stupid, I'm not gonna listen to that. Yeah, they play like different genres every album's like a new genre.
Speaker 2Yeah, that's what you were. Yeah, they do like so, albums completely in different genres, and I think Ween is the the brothers. Oh, really, oh, I think so, yeah all this time I thought it meant like weenie, yeah, weenie it does sound like weenie, yeah sorry, ween they must have heard that before I imagine this is the first time they're like oh my god we never put that together. A kid, like kids, didn't make fun of them and say we know nothing us.
Speaker 1It's us that brings it to their attention. Oh my God, they're going to be in therapy now, all right. So when you eat the seaweed, you got to watch the sodium content.

Speaker 2Unless they've evolved and they're the ones living in town now, oh Right.
Speaker 1Also, they would just float at the top, because when water's that salty I don't think you can like-. Yeah, everything to the surface.

Um, the perks are and I'm assuming well you could eating it is actually not that bad for you, especially the darker sugars are usually are have a lower glycemic index, so it's not going to like raise your blood sugar and drop it so fast. Oh, wow, yeah, not necessarily brown sugar, because I think they might even use molasses. I don't know, I forget they make brown sugar but the raw sugar is better because it's darker.
Speaker 1The darker you get, the less easy it is for your body to break down. Wow, so like, corn syrup is like, instant like, and then you get a big, you know like then it spike and then it falls, but um, so yeah so it's got. It's got a lot of minerals in it, which is really cool. Uh, it's got iron and calcium and magnesium and it has vitamin b6 wow, which I did not know, have you had any?

But at the time it made me rebel and I used to go steal candy from the supermarket on the way to junior high. Wow, like big bags, I would eat the whole bag of M&M's. I would eat the whole bag of M&M's. Wow, chew, hubba, bubba, wow.

That like not a big thing all over the face and I really loved not talking about them Because everybody would always be like oh my pimple. And you'd have to make them feel better about their pimples and I'd be like this is so boring Because I don't get them Like we all know it's there, no, but just like one big one. They'd be like oh my God.
Speaker 1And then there no but just like one big one. They'd be like oh my god. And then they would point out your pimple, no, I but so I would have one and not talk about it at all. I prided myself on it because other people talked about it, but you know they were like jackie doesn't know that she's got that crater on her face, like, but I just like, couldn't like, like, point it out to everybody, yeah it's so I don't know.
Speaker 1People still still do it. You know, they're just like, oh, this pimple, and I'm like, who cares? Like I-. No one's seeing it yeah, nobody cares except you, yeah exactly.
Speaker 2I just get to a point where I just assume hey, we're all humans, it's all, it's gonna happen, it's all natural. Plus, if you own it, people like, oh whoa, is that the new thing now? People just have pimples owning your pimple.
Speaker 1That's how we started. Let's start it the revolution that's how hipsterism started don't bring up your pimples okay.
