What if the secret to radiant skin and resilient health wasn’t in a lab—but on a farm?
In this rich, wide-ranging conversation, Dr. Robert Kiltz welcomes Charles Mayfield, founder of Pharaoh Skincare, to unpack the healing power of animal fats, regenerative agriculture, and the surprising science behind lard-based skincare. From treating sunburns with pig fat to launching a movement rooted in ancestral wisdom, Charles shares how his journey through paleo nutrition, farming, and CrossFit led to a skincare revolution.
Together, they explore:
🐖 Why pigs are metabolic mirrors of humans—and why their fat heals
🌱 The truth about modern skincare toxins vs. ancestral remedies
🔥 How lard and tallow outperform plant oils for chronic and acute skin conditions
🧬 The cellular differences between visceral and subcutaneous fat
🧼 Why “Smart Lard” is more than a trademark—it’s a regenerative philosophy
🧠 The emotional and microbial impact of fat on skin, mood, and immunity
🛠️ How small-batch, high-integrity production is reshaping the skincare industry
Whether you’re a carnivore curious about topical fat, a wellness advocate seeking clean alternatives, or a regenerative farming enthusiast, this episode is packed with insight, humor, and heart.
📦 Bonus: Charles shares his burger hack, his TED Talk dreams, and why pigs might just be the unsung heroes of human health.
