Revitalizing Skin and Hormones Holistically: Busting Myths, Healing Leaky Barriers, and Embracing Legacy Medicine with Dr. Trevor Cates, ND

Season 1 Episode 275

Are you reading the ingredients in your skin creams, shampoos and soaps? If you are not, you need to start because the toxic compounds in everyday personal products are disrupting your hormonal health and creating the conditions for diseases like cancer. But it’s not only the products, it’s our mindset and beliefs - our spiritual health. That’s why Dr Cates approaches skin health and hormonal harmony from both the inside-out and the outside-in. 

Dr. Trevor Cates is a licensed naturopathic physician with over 24 years of experience specializing in women’s health. After overcoming her own childhood health struggles, she pursued an integrative approach to medicine and became the first woman licensed as a naturopathic doctor in California, later relocating her practice to Utah. While serving patients at the Waldorf Astoria Spa in Park City, she recognized that healing extends beyond the physical body, inspiring her to earn a master’s degree in spiritual psychology. This combination of training enables her to guide women in balancing hormones, restoring health, and reconnecting with their true nature. To reach women beyond the one-on-one clinical setting, Dr. Cates created the Hormones, Health & Harmony 9-part documentary series, the PBS special Younger Skin From Within, and The Woman’s Doctor Podcast. She is also the author of two bestselling books, Clean Skin From Within and Natural Beauty Reset.

• Everything we are getting wrong about skin care - from the products we use, the way we use them, why the most important skin care “product” is not one at all and more skin care myths busted.
• Cr Cates inside-out approach to holistic health, why she prefers to focus on the do’s versus the dont’s and why skin issues are misunderstood to be topical issues not systemic symptoms.
• Leaky skin - why it happens, tell tale signs, blocking agents, the skin microbiome and consequences like eczema.
• What nourishes your skin and makes it healthy and beautiful, and what to avoid eating to avoid skin challenges.
• The concept of legacy medicine and why spiritual psychology allowed Dr Cates to understand why so many of her patients were unable to make certain steps to get better.
