so let’s say for example you have acne and you’ve  tried everything you did the healthy version of  

the ketogenic diet you’re doing fasting right  now but still it’s not clearing up this acne  

and if you haven’t tried those two things that  would probably work about 90% of the time and i  

put a link down below of exactly what to do but  i want to give you a little understanding of  

what’s behind acne and it has to do with two  main hormones primarily a spike in androgens  

or a spike in estrogen or a combination of  both so let’s go through this one by one stress  

induces a spike of cortisol and cortisol can  increase androgens and so stress is one factor and  

so if it is stress you probably are going to know  it and you’re just going to have to do something  

about the stress there are a lot of things  you can take there’s a lot of things you can  

do to reduce stress okay so the next thing is that  your testosterone in your body is being converted  

into a more powerful form of estrogen called  dht and that can definitely trigger acne there’s  

a certain enzyme that causes this conversion and  low progesterone can allow this conversion to take  

place but normal or higher levels of progesterone  can inhibit that enzyme and this is why  

certain people when they take progesterone get  rid of their acne now what causes estrogen to  

be lowered in the body usually it’s an increase  in testosterone now i’m going to come back to  

estrogen in a minute but first let’s talk about  how to inhibit this enzyme that’s making this  

conversion you can take saul palmetto which has  been known to help acne you can also take stinging  

nettle root which is a good remedy or black cohosh  all right now let’s switch gears to estrogen  

and we’re talking about estrogen dominance this  is where you would see cystic acne but it could  

be other types of acne as well now we just got  done talking about the enzyme that allows the  

conversion of testosterone to dht now let’s talk  about another enzyme that converts testosterone to  

estrogen it’s called aromatase so there are  various natural remedies to take to lower  

that enzyme stinging nettle root is a good one and  the reason i like that one is because it can also  

reduce the other enzyme that’s causing that  conversion to that powerful form of testosterone  

dht so you can kill two birds with one stone  and as a side note stinging nettle root is a  

very powerful anti-inflammatory so if you have  back pain it’s something that’s really powerful  

the second inhibitor of this enzyme is cruciferous  vegetables okay so start consuming more of those  

and there’s also something called  dim which is a concentrated  

phytonutrient in the cruciferous  vegetables that you can also take  

to act as a powerful inhibitor of aromatase  so that’s really good for cystic acne as well  

so one of the ways that you would know you would  have this problem is you have heavy periods you  

have a problem with your menstrual cycle and  then you just need to consume more cruciferous  

vegetables and definitely stinging nettle root  and some dim would be very powerful as well  

all right there’s another situation regarding  estrogen dominance and that has to do with  

your liver your liver is naturally regulating  excessive amounts of hormones especially estrogen  

and there are certain things in there that are  creating a buffer and the most powerful remedy for  

the liver to handle this situation would be milk  thistle not only will that help normalize estrogen  

but it will also increase the production  of bile now if you actually even look up  

milk thistle in relationship to lowering pms  symptoms you’ll find a lot of great information so  

if you are aware that you have liver problems  or maybe a fatty liver or you have hepatitis or  

you have a gut i think milk thistle will be a  really good remedy to take not to mention getting  

on keto and especially in a minute fasting  next situation is let’s say you have pcos  

polycystic ovarian syndrome now this is a  situation where you have too many androgens  

but that’s being caused by high levels of  insulin you’re eating too many carbohydrates  

high levels of insulin increase androgens  and that can definitely cause not just acne  

but hair loss a deeper voice and many  other symptoms last point is dairy  

dairy can give you a lot of estrogen so i would  avoid dairy if you have acne that alone might  

just clear the whole thing up so number one avoid  all dairy especially milk and cheese number two  

avoid sugar and refined carbohydrates and the  carbohydrates you can have which you’ll be excited  

about are cruciferous vegetables and a lot of  them okay that will help you all right number four  

take certain herbs based on your situation so  i’ve already talked about that and you’re going  

to have to differentiate maybe which which set  of herbs you may need right number five zinc if  

you’re deficient in zinc which by the way is very  very common let alone can cause you to have acne  

cod liver oil is another really good remedy not  only because it’s loaded with omega-3 fatty acids  

which will greatly help the texture of your skin  help regulate if your skin is too oily or too dry  

especially but it also has vitamin a and vitamin  d vitamin d will help regulate insulin and vitamin  

a has been known to actually help acne in a big  way so calibrate oil is a very powerful remedy and  

lastly you want to avoid fluoride and i’m talking  about the fluoride treatments you would get  

from your dentist there’s a really good one and  fairly inexpensive one that you can actually just  

keep in your fridge it’s like a little container  i’ll put a link down below and also in your shower  

here’s the problem tap water is loaded with  fluoride and if it’s either exposed to your  

skin or you’re drinking it it can really mess up  your skin there you have it thanks for watching  

hey before you go real quick i have  a course entitled how to bulletproof  

your immune system it’s a free course  i want you to take it and here’s why  

here’s you here is your environment everyone  is focused on this over here avoiding  

your environment but what about here what about  strengthening your immune system that’s what’s  

missing this course will show you how to  bulletproof yourself and so you can tolerate
