Summary
In this episode of Skin Anarchy, host Ekta is joined by the legendary Dr. Nicholas Perricone to explore the science behind aging, inflammation, and the future of skincare. Known for pioneering the link between inflammation and aging, Dr. Perricone returns to the spotlight with his new book, The Beauty Molecule, which dives into the cutting-edge science of mitochondrial health and acetylcholine’s role in reversing cellular damage.
Listeners will hear how Dr. Perricone challenged conventional dermatology by developing the first anti-inflammatory skincare and diet regimen—decades ahead of its time. He breaks down how mitochondrial dysfunction contributes to aging and inflammation, and why boosting acetylcholine—the “beauty molecule”—can transform not only skin health, but overall longevity. From daily meditation and exercise to transdermal antioxidants and hydrogen water, Dr. Perricone outlines a practical roadmap for rewiring how we think about beauty and wellness.
The episode also explores the therapeutic promise of peptides, hydrogen water as a metabolic therapy, and why the future of skincare may lie in biochemistry over cosmetic quick fixes. Backed by data and decades of research, this conversation will shift your perspective on aging from surface-level solutions to deep, cellular renewal.
Whether you're a skincare aficionado, health professional, or wellness seeker, this episode offers an inspiring and scientifically grounded look at the future of beauty. Tune in to hear how Dr. Perricone is redefining aging—one molecule at a time.

He has been such a visionary and a leader in the space of skin health for so many years, and we're going to be talking about his new book that's coming out now. So without me ranting too much, please, I would love to introduce you guys to Dr. Nicholas Perricone. |
| 0:24.5 | Welcome, Dr. Perricone. |
| 0:25.4 | It's such an honor to host you. |
| 0:27.3 | Thank you. |
| 0:27.9 | And it's a pleasure getting to talk with you today and our audience. |
| 0:32.4 | I'm very excited about the new books. |
| 0:34.4 | It's just a lot of fun to get to talk about it. Yeah, I'm really excited that |
| 0:38.2 | you're coming out with, you know, you came out with a new book and I'd love to learn about it. |
| 0:42.2 | And I really want to talk about you because you've led that beauty and wellness world through so |
| 0:47.3 | many scientific evolutions, you know, and for me, I mean, your brand was one of the first |
| 0:52.2 | professional brands that I got my hands on, you know, |
| 0:54.7 | and I was learning about skin health. And it's just, it's so inspiring to see this, you know, |

| 1:03.7 | the beauty molecule, which is the name of the book for everyone listening. Why is, why is right now |
| 1:09.0 | the right time for this message? |
| 1:16.8 | Well, it's a perfect time because my last book was 10 years ago, and people asked me why this long break, I said, because really my research, I didn't see anything that was really |
| 1:22.6 | different from what I, my initial ideas about inflammation, aging, and disease and all the |
| 1:29.0 | information I have on in skin. But with my research over the past 10 years, I was, it was kind of |
| 1:36.9 | really enlightening to see what happened in terms of my study. So I have an unusual background, |
| 1:43.3 | I'm certainly a medical doctor, but I'm also |
| 1:45.1 | a nutritionist, and I've done original research and nutrition. But this really all started back |
