In this episode, our guest is Allyson Brennan, a pharmacist with 15 years of experience specializing in Neurology in Nashville, TN. She received a B.S. in Psychology with a minor in chemistry/biology as an undergraduate from Millsaps College and then went on to receive her B.S in Pharmaceutical Sciences and her PharmD. from The University of Mississippi.

Two years ago, Allyson founded and created her own natural skincare company called Emogene & Co. focusing on effective natural skincare and the science behind purposeful ingredients.

She created this company after noticing the skincare industry producing products full of toxic and ineffective filler ingredients. As a child, she was inspired by her grandmother, Emogene, who had a remedy for every skin issue or ailment.

Throughout her professional career as a pharmacist, she noticed how she was drawn to medicinal chemistry and how specific molecules affected organs in the body. After becoming a mother, she began to focus on what molecules are available straight from the Earth to improve the health of our largest organ, our skin.

Topics covered:

1. Founding of her business + Skincare tips (i.e. streamlined routine for healthy skin)

2. Changing career paths from pharmacist to entrepreneur

3. Balancing wearing many hats as a woman in business
