StRest with Kerstin Lindquist

Skin, Stress & Longevity with Dr. Brent Ridge (Beekman 1802)


Listen Later

This is StRest! Physician and longevity expert Dr. Brent Ridge—co-founder of Beekman 1802 and former Mount Sinai faculty—joins Kerstin to connect skin health, inflammation, and aging. He explains why getting off social media may be the lowest-lift stress intervention, how skin pH and the microbiome govern barrier function, and why goat-milk oligosaccharides act as prebiotics for healthier skin.

We trace Brent’s pivot from medicine and Martha Stewart Omnimedia to building Beekman 1802 during the Great Recession, then go deep on the science: pH-safe cleansing, microbiome diversity, goat vs. cow milk, and colostrum basics. He lays out a prevention-first longevity playbook—reduce chemical load, prioritize whole foods, use antibiotics judiciously, and cultivate social connection and empathy (“kindness chemistry” boosts serotonin, dopamine, and oxytocin while lowering cortisol).

Practical takeaways include where to start with “clean beauty” (the products you use most, including laundry), how to think about biomarkers like CRP, why soil quality and minimally processed foods matter, and the few supplements he personally takes (magnesium for sleep). We close with Beekman’s new entrepreneurship book, Goat Wisdom, and the reminder that small-business community building is real success.
