hey guys today we’re gonna talk about the many different causes of acne okay

let’s start off with the food allergies if you are alerted to certain foods that

can create a reaction on the skin big-time

it might not even look like acne but it can create a redness all sorts of scaly

dry skin and that could be coming from a food allergy however there’s also

chemical sensitivities food intolerances that are not necessarily an allergy if

you suspect that there are certain doctors that specialize in that what

happens when you eliminate certain foods that are creating the reaction boom the

skin clears up really really fast but this is one of the reasons why

intermittent fasting is so powerful do intermittent fasting first and see if your

skin dust just doesn’t clear up right away and then you know potentially that

can be the problem number two high androgens what’s an energon it’s a male

hormone okay women should not have excessive amounts of energons and

they’re getting facial hair they’re losing their hair they’re getting in a

deeper voice they have a lot of other issues with fatigue and inflammation

this high level of antigen also will cause acne and it’s usually coming from

high insulin okay so the healthy ketogenic diet is the ultimate diet for

someone with PCOS because it cuts down the carbs it cuts down the insulin and

then it helps to normalize your androgens stress can also increase the

adrenals which activate more androgens and also a very powerful testosterone

called DHT can cause acne as well as hair loss okay and a good remedy for

that it’s called stinging nettle root stinging nettle root is hands down one

of the best remedies to help balance this this powerful testosterone it’s

also really good for inflammation anywhere in the body okay stinging

nettle room don’t forget that one low vitamin A will cause acne a vitamin A

deficiency and this is one of the reasons why accutane is so popular it’s

a synthetic version of vitamin A but has a lot of side effects so the best source

of vitamin A that I would recommend would be virgin cod liver oil

okay one reason why you might not have enough vitamin A is you don’t have

a gallbladder or you have a liver problem or you don’t have enough

microbes to help you recycle the bile to help you absorb vitamin A so there could

be like a situation when you you took an antibiotic and now you have an imbalance

in your gut and you have IBS and things like that you’re gonna have a problem

absorbing vitamin A it also could be that you had a gastric bypass so that

could be one of the reasons too but virgin cod liver oil is awesome and if

you don’t have a gallbladder then you need to take purified bile salts with it

to help you absorb vitamin A and that will help the skin realize we’re dealing

with an inflammatory condition of molecule on the skin so anything that

will help you lower inflammation is going to help the skin zinc very very

important in skin health if you’re deficient in zinc you will get dry skin

you can get back knee you can get flaky skin

guess what depletes zinc in your body high carbohydrate diets surprise zinc

picolinate is a good remedy moistures probably have the highest amount of zinc

anywhere zinc is also in liver a healthy grass-fed liver now we get to high

levels of estrogen can cause acne this is why during menopause some women get

some acne also through the menstrual cycle you can get acne that is a spike

in estrogen we’ve talked about antigens but high estrogen can also do it then

you have something called cystic acne which is an advanced form of acne which

is really an estrogen dominant problem the remedy for all three of these

situations is something called DIM I put a link down below for more information

but it also blocks the excess amount of estrogen being produced in the body

which is coming from testosterone alright so here’s what I’d recommend

number one get on a healthy keto plan or put a link down below this may handle

all of these things without even doing anything always add intermittent

fasting because this kicks in the repair mode it helps your skin your cognitive

function but it’s gonna also eliminate any potential food allergies or chemical

sensitivities vitamin A and zinc are really good

products cod liver oil zinc picolinate are good also you want to lower your

stress as much as possible cruciferous vegetables you could also take DIM as a

as a substitute because this is like two pounds of vegetables in one tablet but

cruciferous vegetables on a regular basis will help to balance estrogen now

there’s one more thing if you have aging spots or little blemishes and you and

you want to just improve that the color of the skin vitamin b3 in the form of

niacinamide which is the water-soluble version and

you mix it with either coconut oil or olive oil and put it on your skin you

can greatly help the health of the skin and if there’s any type of blemishes or

dark spots you can actually improve that situation I like the version of

niacinamide because it’s water soluble and it seems to go in better you can use

niacin but it doesn’t seem to absorb as well okay all right guys thanks for
