Episode Synopsis

In the final chapter of the Underarm Detox Diaries, we’re going deeper than ingredients and deeper than sweat. Today, we’re exploring the living ecosystem under your arms—your microbiome. And what really happens when you switch to natural deodorant.Most people think odor is about sweat. Most people think “detoxing” is about purging toxins. But the truth is far simpler — and far more empowering: your skin is rebalancing.In this episode, Krista breaks down how years of aluminum-based antiperspirants, synthetic fragrance, over-cleansing, and stress disrupt the delicate microbial world that keeps odor in check. You’ll learn why odor spikes in the transition phase, how pH plays a critical role, and which ingredients actually support your body’s natural balance.You’ll also hear a simple, sustainable daily routine (plus weekly maintenance) designed to help you live the clean deodorant lifestyle with more ease, less irritation, and a lot more confidence.If you want to understand your body better and support it instead of fighting it, this episode is your roadmap.
